IPL 2023, RCB vs RR | Twitter reacts to Samson irked with umpires as time-out refusal causes Sangakkara's ejection
Umpires play a crucial role in regulating cricket matches but sometimes their decisions can annoy and confuse the fielding captain. A similar incident occurred with Samson when he was involved in an argument with the umpire over time out as Kumar Sangakkara also got involved in the miscommunication.
After losing two quick wickets against Rajasthan Royals, Royal Challengers Bangalore staged an excellent recovery thanks to a steady partnership between Glenn Maxwell and Faf du Plessis. RCB were poised at 62/2 by the end of the powerplay but an incident after that involving RR captain Sanju Samson and head coach Kumar Sangakkara grabbed all the limelight.
After the end of the sixth over, Sanju Samson was seen arguing with the umpire over whether they have been awarded a strategic timeout as desired. Even Sangakkara assumed that the team had opted for timeout and walked onto the middle of the ground. However, the umpire had to explain to Samson that it was just a break in the play and not the strategic time-out yet. The incident also made social media go berserk with a lots of users commenting on the sequence of events that occurred at the venue.

What Sanju Samson needs to do to increase his consistency and temperament
Such a great player with such exquisite shots doesn't be a match winner really hurts his fans
Absence felt
Rahul Dravid is in Chinnaswamy Stadium to watch #RCBvRR match. Hope Sanju Samson performs extraordinary here and Rahul to make his case strong infront of selection committee. He is the need of Indian team in the absence of RP#RRvRCB

This is highly predictable captaincy by Samson. At least change something, bring Holder in PP. Very much predictable as of now.
See that!
Whenever Virat Chokli See Trent Boult 😭😂 !!

Serious note
On a serious note, RCB won't win the cup until they start grooming local players who play in Chinnaswamy rest of the year. #RCBvsRR
