"3rd Umpire Should...": Ex-Pakistan Star On Shubman Gill's WTC Final Dismissal

13.06.2023 - 13:27 sports.ndtv.com

The dismissal of Shubman Gill during the World Test Championship (WTC) Final between India and Australia has resulted in massive debates between cricket fans as well as experts.

Gill edged a delivery from Scott Boland but Cameron Green's catch at third slip has divided opinions. Replays were not clear about whether the ball touched the ground on impact and many experts believe that the review should have gone India's way.

Former Pakistan spinner Danish Kaneria supported Gill in the controversy and said that in a crucial match, the decision should have been not out. "Shubman Gill's dismissal was a very controversial one.

The third umpire should have given it not out, as it was very evident that the ball touched the grass," Kaneria said on his YouTube channel.

Former Pakistan spinner Danish Kaneria has slammed India batter Cheteshwar Pujara for failing in the recently-concluded World Test Championship final against Australia at The Oval, London. Pujara scored only 14 runs during India's first innings as a Cameron Green delivery cleaned him up. The following innings saw Pujara scoring 27 runs as he perished while trying to play an unorthodox shot -- an upper cut. With India needing much more than just a decent effort from their batting unit, Pujara was among the ones who failed to make it count.
