IPL 2022: Sanju Samson takes DRS in anger in wide-ball controversy
Rajasthan Royals' captain Sanju Samson sparked a massive controversy after he took a DRS in frustration during the IPL 2022 match against Kolkata Knight Riders.
In the 19th over, RR bowler Prasidh Krishna tried bowling away wide yorkers as the batter shuffled towards the off-stump
The on-field umpire ruled a couple of such deliveries as 'Wide'
The umpire gave a couple of close calls as 'wide' despite the batter moving across the crease.
To protest against the umpire's decision, Sanju Samson took DRS
The DRS didn't help the RR captain and was wasted. But Sanju also had a long chat with the umpire on the field.
With 18 runs to defend in the last two overs, Prasidh Krishna lost his rhythm and conceded 17 runs and RR lost by 7 wickets
While some fans praised Sanju Samson on Twitter, others criticised him for not respecting the umpire’s decision.
