Delhi Capitals batter Abishek Porel was handed a crucial reprieve during their IPL 2025 encounter against Rajasthan Royals at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi, courtesy of a glaring DRS oversight by RR skipper Sanju Samson.

The pivotal moment occurred in the 13th over of the innings. Jofra Archer unleashed a sharp, short-pitched delivery that cramped Porel for space. Attempting to ramp it over the keeper, the left-hander failed to connect cleanly. From the naked eye, the delivery appeared suspect. Yet, to the astonishment of many, not a single Rajasthan fielder, including wicketkeeper-captain Samson, appealed for a potential edge.
