The exciting match at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Wednesday (April 16, 2025), which was finally won through Super Over, is still the hot topic of discussion on social media, with all the post-game video footage being discussed and analyzed. But the viral one has created fear among social media users about a divide within the Rajasthan Royals team between head coach Rahul Dravid and skipper Sanju Samson.
In the video, Dravid can be observed talking to Rajasthan Royals team members, including his support staff, shortly before the Super Over begins, with the commentator wondering who the team would choose to bat against Mitchell Starc. The player was next observed waving Sanju Samson over to the conversation as the captain was strolling in the vicinity of the dugout, but he immediately shook his head with his hand to reject the invitation.
Sanju Samson’s body language tells a 1000 word’s of his painful situation in this RR team.

How Did DC Defeat RR?
Batting first in their second home match in Delhi in the current IPL 2025, Delhi depended on a late flourish by captain Axar Patel and Tristan Stubbs to post a target of 189. KL Rahul and opening batsman Abhishek Porel contributed a 63-run partnership off 57 balls, but the slow nature of the wicket did not enable them to gain pace against spin or pace. But Axar counterattacked against Wanindu Hasaranga and slammed 34 off 14 deliveries while Stubbs, dropped on 18 off the spinner, took 18 balls for his unbeaten 34 as the last three overs yielded Delhi 42 runs.
In response, Nitish Rana and Yashasvi Jaiswal made their respective fifties to place Rajasthan in the touching distance of victory, but Mitchell Starc defended nine runs in the last over with his flawless yorkers to compel a tie-breaker.
Super Over Drama
Two run-outs in Starc’s Super Over reduced Rajasthan to 11-2 before KL Rahul and Stubbs hammered Sandeep Sharma’s first four balls for 13 runs and moved Delhi to the top of the points table with five victories from six matches.
