Who won Yesterday's IPL Match 56, DC vs RR, played in Mumbai on May 7 - Tuesday? Delhi Capitals posted a crucial win by 20 runs to keep their playoff hope alive but Sanju Samson's controversial dismissal in the 16th over when the batter was marching RR towards win at 86 certainly affected the outcome of the match.

Leading the chase of 222, Samson aimed for his first century in two years but fell short in the 16th over. He hit Mukesh Kumar to long-on, where Shai Hope caught it, seemingly inside the boundary.

Despite replays suggesting Hope's foot might have touched the rope, the third umpire confirmed it as a clean catch. Displeased, Samson argued with the on-field umpires, questioning the decision, but his appeals were dismissed and he had to depart, marking his fifth fifty-plus score this season.

The incident sparked significant controversy and discussion among fans and commentators alike. Find further details from the match below:
