Samson was in sight to seal Rajasthan’s playoff spot before Shai Hope plucked a splendid catch on the edge of the boundary at long-on in the 16th over.

Samson exchanged words with on-field umpires after he was declared out by television umpire Michael Gough as replays from one angle suggested Hope might have touched the boundary line.

Samson then had a lengthy talk with on-field umpires KN Ananthapadmanabhan and Ulhas Gandhe before leaving the pitch.
