Navjot Singh Sidhu’s Unambiguous View On Sanju Samson’s Reject Case
Navjot Singh Sidhu asserted that the fielder made two touches to the boundary rope during the catch and even used the ‘fly in the milk’ analogy to justify Sanju Samson’s end of innings punishment.
Shai Hope’s catch to dismiss Sanju Samson during Tuesday’s Rajasthan Royals vs. Delhi Capitals IPL 2024 match sparked a heated debate. As he struck DC bowler Mukesh Kumar squarely down the ground, Samson, who was batting on 86, looked excellent. Hope, though, appeared to be too close to the boundary ropes despite finishing the catch because of his long-on positioning. The RR side was shocked by the third umpire’s decision in favor of DC, and Sanju and the umpires ended up in a furious argument.Navjot Singh Sidhu, a former Indian batsman, asserted that the fielder touched the boundary rope twice during the catch. He even explained the entire incident with the analogy of a “fly in the milk.”
Sanju Samson’s dismissal was the decision that altered the course of the match. It meets the boundary twice when viewed from a side-on viewpoint, therefore there may be disagreements. It was fairly obvious. “You either don’t use technology at all, or if you do and it makes a mistake, it’s like there’s a fly in the milk and someone is asking you to drink it,” Sidhu stated on Star Sports.
It made two contacts with the border. Following this, if someone claims that it’s out, remember that I’m a neutral party and I’ve seen it, so it’s not out. For this reason, I continued to make the same argument regarding Kohli (about his dismissal against KKR, which caused debate due to a possible no-ball). Whatever the norm, it is evident to the unaided eye; some of the evidence is so compelling as to be disregarded. It’s comparable like discovering a trout in a milk glass. Nobody is to blame; the umpire did not intentionally do it. It’s included in the game. He said, “That altered the game.”DC defeated RR by a significant margin, and Samson’s wicket proved to be essential in preserving their hopes of making the IPL 2024 playoffs.
