In response to the contentious removal of Sanju Samson, Pragyan Ojha said, “We have to remember that it was the wicket of an important player and also realise that we have the technology to take more time and get a proper look at it.” This was crucial to the outcome of the match since the wicket that fell changed the game’s momentum.
Tuesday at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi saw the Delhi Capitals (DC) defeat the Rajasthan Royals (RR) by 20 runs to win their sixth match of the 2024 Indian Premier League. The Capitals scored 221 runs in their first batting match before holding the Royals to 201 runs. Jio Cinema IPL gurus Parthiv Patel and Pragyan Ojha praised the performances of Abishek Porel (65 runs), Sanju Samson (86 runs), and Jake Fraser-McGurk (50 runs) on Match Centre Live.
Is Hope’s leg touching the rope or was it just a shadow? has been the topic of discussion. It might have made more sense to them if you had taken the time to look at it and consider it. From the questions Sanju was asking, even he understood that the match was in danger. Perhaps his team would have had a Q next to their name tonight if he had continued to play.”
Abishek Porel was playing in McGurk’s shadow, but after he was fired, we discovered how good Porel had been playing, according to Ojha. It was encouraging to watch how he was scooping up the ball, how he played, and how clear-headed he was. They trusted him enough to let him play when Prithvi Shaw was the opener. When they offered him an opportunity, he seized it. That was extraordinary. His batting clarity was the best aspect of this. It was impressive to watch how well-aware he was of field positioning, ball placement, and reading everything.”

According to Parthiv Patel, Jake Fraser-McGurk doesn’t just walk in and start swinging. Even if he may not have started out that way, we saw him change. He attempted to hit Trent Boult’s deliveries square-leg, leg side, or mid-wicket, but he had to modify to hit it far on or off side because of the ball’s swing. He made full use of Avesh Khan’s bowling ability and applied pressure. There is a method to his craziness, although many will criticise his lack of defence. It’s hard to criticise his consistency when he’s been hitting sixes and scoring runs so regularly.
