Watch: Twitter erupts as fans blame Sanju Samson's suspicious act behind Rohit Sharma's dismissal against RR in IPL 2023

Sanju Samson's odd behaviour was brought up on Twitter amid Rohit Sharma's dismissal, causing a stir on social media throughout Mumbai's innings. A win was accomplished by Mumbai Indians on Sunday evening at the Wankhede during what happened to be the 1000th IPL game. 

The celebration that followed Tim David's three consecutive sixes that sealed a six-wicket victory over Rajasthan Royals was quite spectacular. However, during Mumbai's innings, there was a social media uproar when the Rajasthan Royals skipper Sanju Samson's dubious action was called out on Twitter and the umpires were criticised for the dismissal of his MI equivalent Rohit Sharma. 

As Mumbai started their home chase of 213 on the occasion of Rohit's 36th birthday, he was hoping to make it big with a memorable knock. Sandeep Sharma, though, dismissed the captain in the second over, ending his innings early. The pacer threw a knuckleball, and Rohit attempted to deflect it to the off side by moving to the back foot but was fooled by the velocity and unable to make connection as the delivery brushed the top of the off stump. When Rohit was dismissed, it caught him off guard, and he stayed there gazing at his stumps before returning to the pavilion after making three runs off five balls.

A little while after Rohit was declared out and he went to the dressing room unhappy, sharp-eyed followers on Twitter pointed in the direction of Rohit's dismissal that the mode of dismissal was not legal. It appeared which the ball had struck the bail on top of the off stump, upsetting it and making it turn red, but it did not fall off stumps in a social media video that showed a close-up of the stumps. The bails appeared to have been moved by the slightest touch of the wicketkeeper's hands only seconds after Samson had gathered the ball following it had struck the stumps.

Is the stump hit Sanju Samson's glove? or Umpire gave the correct decision against Rohit Sharma? 🤔
