Following the loss of two early wickets against the Rajasthan Royals, the Royal Challengers Bangalore recovered impressively, thanks to a steady partnership between Glenn Maxwell and Faf du Plessis.
At the end of the powerplay, RCB were positioned at 62/2, but an incident involving RR captain Sanju Samson and head coach Kumar Sangakkara stole the spotlight.
During the break after the sixth over, Samson was observed arguing with the umpire about whether they had been granted a strategic timeout as requested.
Sangakkara also assumed that the team had taken the timeout and walked onto the field. However, the umpire had to clarify to Samson that it was merely a pause in play and not the strategic time-out.
The incident caused social media to explode, with many users discussing the sequence of events that took place at the venue.
