Rajasthan Royals skipper Sanju Samson was fined 30 per cent of his match fees following a heated argument with the on-field umpires during the IPL 2024 match against Delhi Capitals on Tuesday. Controversy erupted over Samson’s dismissal after he was caught in the deep by Shai Hope but the fielder was too close to the stumps. The third umpire ruled in DC’s favour but Samson was not pleased with the decision and he ended up having an argument with the match officials. The replays showed that the fielder was very close to the ropes and the decision left the fans and experts divided.

“Mr Sanju Samson, Captain, Rajasthan Royals has been fined 30 per cent of his match fees for breaching the IPL Code of Conduct during Match 56 of the TATA Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 against Delhi Capitals at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi on May 07, 2024,” the official statement read.

“Samson committed a Level 1 offence under Article 2.8 of the IPL’s Code of Conduct. He admitted to the offence and accepted the Match Referee’s sanction. For Level 1 breaches of the Code of Conduct, the Match Referee’s decision is final and binding,” it further stated.

Coming to the match, Samson’s dismissal proved to be pivotal as DC kept their IPL 2024 dreams alive with a win over RR, Jake Fraser-McGurk and Abishek Porel slammed half-centuries to take DC past 200 and a disciplined bowling attack made sure that RR felt well short of the target.

“The way our bowlers executed at the back end was the main positive and it was really good to see. We will try to learn from every game. Even when we lose or win, we will keep our head down and keep moving forward. As always Kuldeep delivered which was great to see. It was close to par and at the same time we were thinking that if we can restrict them to 200 that would be fair and that was the thought process,” DC captain Rishabh Pant said after the match.
