During an IPL match on April 26, 2026, Sanju Samson (captain of the Rajasthan Royals) showcased his skills with a remarkable stumping of Shubman Gill (opening batter for Gujarat Titans) that drew comparisons to the legendary wicketkeeper MS Dhoni. The incident occurred in the seventh over of Gujarat's chase of 159 runs, where Gill missed a delivery from CSK spinner Noor Ahmad. While some fans praised Samson's quick reflexes, others criticized the third umpire's swift decision to declare Gill out, leading to a heated discussion online. In the match, Gujarat Titans successfully chased the target, finishing at 162 for 2 in just 16.4 overs, thanks to Sai Sudharsan's impressive 87 runs. Captain Ruturaj Gaikwad scored 74 runs for CSK, but their total of 158 for 7 proved insufficient. The match highlighted both the brilliance of Samson and the ongoing debate surrounding umpiring decisions in cricket.
