In a crucial encounter between the Rajasthan Royals and the Delhi Capitals at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur, the match took an unfortunate turn for the Royals as their skipper, Sanju Samson, fell victim to Khaleel Ahmed's clever change of angle. 

With the change in ends, Khaleel delivered a back of a length delivery angling in on middle, catching Samson off guard as he attempted a late cut through backward point. However, Samson's effort resulted in a thick outside edge straight into the safe hands of wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant.

Sanju Samson's wicket came at a crucial juncture for the Royals, who were hoping for a solid start in the powerplay. His departure marked the second wicket down for the Royals within the initial overs after Yashasvi Jaiswal, putting them under pressure early on in the match.

There were high expectations from Samson, especially considering his impressive performance in the previous game. However, he failed to meet those expectations as the Delhi Capitals capitalized on his dismissal, making significant strides in the powerplay.

With Samson's departure, the Royals face an uphill battle to stabilize their innings and set a competitive total against the formidable Delhi Capitals side. At the time of writing, Rajasthan Royals are struggling at 35/2.
