In a lighthearted incident that went viral on social media, Rajasthan Royals took a playful jab at a particular moment during a recent IPL match. The Rajasthan Royals have had a challenging season in IPL 2023, not performing up to their previous standards when they finished as runners-up. With their playoffs chances hanging by a thread, they faced Punjab Kings in a crucial match at Dharamsala on Friday, hoping to revive their prospects, although they also needed other factors to work in their favor.
Winning the toss, Rajasthan Royals chose to bowl first in the crucial contest at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium. During a conversation with presenter and former Zimbabwe cricketer Mpumelelo Mbangwa, Samson, the Rajasthan Royals’ captain, was asked about his decision. According to broadcasting rules, the names of the individuals involved in the conversation should be displayed on the screen. However, in this case, instead of displaying Samson’s name, the broadcasters mistakenly showed “Yuzvendra Chahal, Rajasthan Royals captain.”
This amusing incident gained attention on social media, with Rajasthan Royals themselves playfully mocking the situation.
