During the IPL 2025 match between Rajasthan Royals (RR) and Delhi Capitals (DC) at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on April 16, a post-game incident caught the attention of fans and experts alike. In a moment that has gone viral, RR captain Sanju Samson seemingly ignored his coach, Rahul Dravid, and a team meeting, leading fans on social media to speculate that there might be a rift between the two.
The Controversial Moment That Raised Eyebrows
As the match headed into the Super Over, Dravid was seen discussing strategies with RR’s support staff and players. When the conversation turned to which batsmen would face Mitchell Starc, one of the players gestured for Samson to join the discussion. However, to everyone’s surprise, Samson waved them off and walked away, signaling that he wasn’t interested.
This action sparked a flurry of online speculation, with some fans fearing that there might be tensions between the captain and head coach, questioning whether Samson’s leadership role was in jeopardy.
Fans React to the Incident
Fans flooded social media with their thoughts, expressing concern over Samson’s body language. Many suggested that the incident hinted at deeper issues within the team, even questioning if RR might “sack” Samson as captain. Some fans even speculated that Samson could consider a move to Chennai Super Kings, fueled by the growing rumors.
How DC Beat RR
The match itself was a thrilling contest that went into a Super Over after DC set a target of 189 runs. Rajasthan came close to chasing the target, with Nitish Rana and Yashasvi Jaiswal contributing half-centuries. However, Mitchell Starc’s perfect yorkers in the final over forced the tie-breaker, where RR managed just 11 runs, thanks to two run-outs.
KL Rahul and Tristan Stubbs led Delhi to victory, taking them to the top of the points table with five wins from six games.
