The exhilarating match at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Wednesday, April 16, 2025, which concluded with a Super Over, continues to generate buzz on social media, as various post-match clips are being scrutinized. However, one particular video has gone viral, raising concerns among users about a potential rift between Rajasthan Royals' head coach Rahul Dravid and captain Sanju Samson.
In the footage, Dravid is observed conversing with members of the Rajasthan Royals team, including his support staff, just prior to the Super Over. A commentator speculates on which batters the team might select to face Mitchell Starc. During this time, one player gestures for Samson to join the discussion as he approaches the dugout, but Samson promptly declines the invitation with a hand signal.
This incident has sparked worries among fans on social media regarding the relationship between Samson and Dravid, leading to speculation that the franchise might consider removing the wicketkeeper from his captaincy position. Some fans have even suggested that Samson should contemplate a move to Chennai Super Kings amidst these rumors.
How did DC beat RR?
Batting first in their second home game in Delhi in the ongoing IPL 2025, Delhi relied on a late flurry from captain Axar Patel and Tristan Stubbs to set a target of 189. KL Rahul and opener Abhishek Porel put on a 63-run stand off 57 balls, but the slowness of the wicket didn’t allow them to accelerate against either spin or pace. However, Axar countercharged against Wanindu Hasaranga and smashed 34 off 14 balls while Stubbs, dropped on 18 off the spinner, consumed 18 balls for his unbeaten 34 as the last three overs provided Delhi 42 runs.
In reply, Nitish Rana and Yashasvi Jaiswal scored their respective fifties to put Rajasthan within the touching distance of a win, but Mitchell Starc defended nine runs in the final over with his perfect yorkers to force a tie-breaker.
Two run-outs in Starc’s super over limited Rajasthan to 11-2 before KL Rahul and Stubbs smashed Sandeep Sharma’s first four balls for 13 runs and took Delhi to the top of the points table with five wins from six games.
