Umpires warn sanju samson for his unusual wicket-keeping position..!?

The umpires warned sanju samson in the match against delhi Capitals. The umpires called him and warned him for an action he did. The match between delhi Capitals and rajasthan Royals was held at the arun jaitley Stadium in Delhi. In this match, delhi Capitals batted first. Then the 19th over was bowled by rajasthan Royals fast bowler Jofra Archer. Before facing the last ball he bowled, wicketkeeper sanju samson went near the inner circle of the outfield and kept wicketkeeping. Usually, wicketkeepers go near the inner circle like this on pitches that bounce a lot in Test matches. But, there may be some other reason why sanju samson did this.
However, the ball went white. After that, the two umpires came near sanju samson and advised him not to stand near the inner circle and keep wicketkeeping. But sanju samson said, "Jobra Archer bowls at a speed of 147 kmph. At that time, the ball bounces a lot. So I stand behind." Fans asked, but everyone knows that this pitch is not as bouncy as the Australian pitches. After this, he accepted the umpires' instruction and came forward a little and stood wicket-keeping. Later, in this match, the delhi Capitals team scored 19 runs in the 20th over alone. delhi Capitals scored a total of 188 runs in 20 overs. The rajasthan Royals team that played next also scored 188 runs in 20 overs. The match then went to the Super Over, which delhi Capitals won.
