Delhi Capitals Co-Owner Parth Jindal’s Animated Reaction to Sanju Samson Dismissal Sparks Controversy
Amidst the ongoing Sanju Samson dismissal controversy that overshadowed the Delhi Capitals vs Rajasthan Royals match on Tuesday, the hosts’ co-owner Parth Jindal found himself in the spotlight for his animated reaction.
During the controversial dismissal, cameras captured Jindal pointing fingers and shouting “out, out” in an aggressive manner. The video of his outburst quickly went viral on social media, drawing criticism from fans who deemed his behavior inappropriate.
With Samson threatening to single-handedly snatch victory from DC in the high-stakes chase, his controversial dismissal proved to be a decisive turning point in the match. After the game, Jindal took to social media to explain his reaction, stating that Samson’s performance had caused significant concern.
“Was lovely interacting with Manoj and Sanju – was incredible to witness his power hitting at the Kotla – he got us all extremely worried and hence the animated reaction when he was out!” Jindal tweeted.
Jindal also met with Samson and RR co-owner Manoj Badale after the match. He congratulated Samson on his performance and acknowledged the Royals’ impressive win.
Despite the controversy, Delhi Capitals emerged victorious by 20 runs, keeping their playoff hopes alive. On the other hand, the defeat marked only the third loss for Rajasthan Royals this season, who currently sit second in the points table behind Kolkata Knight Riders.
