Wide's decision also remained controversial
It is noteworthy that at the time Sanju Samson was out, DC's score was 162 runs. From here the Rajasthan Royals team seemed to be winning easily.

This was the last ball of the 19th over, which Rasikh was bowling. Rovman Powell also reviewed the wide, but the umpire's decision came in favor of DC. With this, the fight for the playoffs has now become more difficult. However, Rajasthan is still in a very safe position with 16 points.
