Let us tell you that by winning this match, Delhi has kept itself alive in the competition. If they win both their remaining matches, they will qualify for the playoffs. Whereas Rajasthan has already qualified but officially they too have not got its tag yet. However, when Samson was given out during this match, the RR camp was completely angry. In such a situation, Sidhu has given a big statement during the conversation on Star Sports.

He said, “The game changed completely as soon as Sanju Samson was out. If we see the replays, his feet were touching the boundary twice on the side and it was very clear. Either you are not using technology properly or if you are, there is something wrong with it. It is just like there is a fly in milk and you cannot drink it. I could clearly see that his foot had touched the boundary and yet he was declared out. As a fan, I can't believe this at all. It is exactly like there is a fly in milk and you are saying drink it, I will not drink it.”

Sidhu further said that “It was not out at any cost. Whatever may be the rule, there are some evidences, after seeing which such decisions cannot be trusted. This was a very decisive moment and even umpires do not do this deliberately. Maybe I think it's not anyone's fault and it's part of the game. However, from there the game completely changed and who would be responsible for it.”
