LONDON : When Mohammed Shami asked for a DRS review on an lbw decision with India nine men down and 212 runs short of their victory target in the World Test Championship final against Australia, even die-hard fans could be forgiven for wondering why he bothered.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) vice president Rajeev Shukla has revealed his thoughts on the Cameron Green catch that saw India opener Shubman Gill dismissed at a crucial stage of the ICC World Test Championship (WTC) final on Day 4 against Australia. On the fourth day of a gripping match at The Oval, Gill was declared out by TV umpire Richard Kettleborough at the stroke of tea after India got a strong start in their run chase, with 444 needed to win.
The dismissal of Shubman Gill on Day 4 of the World Test Championship (WTC) Final between India and Australia has been the subject of multiple debates. Gill was caught in the slips by Cameron Green off Scott Boland's bowling but replays showed that the ball touched the ground when the fielder made impact. The on-field umpires were not sure about the incident but the third umpire decided to give him out resulting in a massive controversy. Several experts were not pleased with the decision and even Gill took to social media to post a screenshot of the catch. The International Cricket Council also tweeted pictures of the catch along with the caption - "That Cameron Green catch!"
The Oval Indian supporters, on Saturday, resorted to booing the Australian team, primarily Cameron Green after the giant all-rounder's diving catch to dismiss opener Shubman Gill looked inconclusive to the naked eye. At the stroke of tea, Scott Boland got one to bounce little extra from length and it flew from ball the shoulder of Gill's blade only to be scooped up inches off the ground by a diving Green, stationed at gully. Gill scored 18 in an opening stand of 41 and was looking in good rhythm. As tea was called, a dejected Indian skipper Rohit Sharma was seen having a chat with on-field umpires while trudging back to pavilion.
Shubman Gill's dismissal has sparked controversy and former cricketers Virender Sehwag and Wasim Jaffer didn't miss out on the opportunity to take a dig at the third umpire Richard Kettleborough's decision. Gill lost his wicket after Cameron Green took a diving catch which turned out to be quite controversial as the ball appeared to have touched the ground. Due to inconclusive evidence the matter went straight to the third umpire and after inspection, he decided to dismiss Gill who was visibly upset.
Shubman Gill isn't a happy man at the moment, and there's no denying that. A controversial catch by Cameron Green sent the Indian opening batter back to the hut. Since then, the cricketing fraternity hasn't stopped talking about the dismissal. As fans remain furious over the nature of Gill's dismissal, the star batter himself has been active on social media, taking digs at the umpire's decision. After posting a cryptic tweet, Gill shared an Instagram story about his dismissal, setting the internet on fire.
Australia all-rounder Cameron Green is sure that he held on to the catch that ended India opener Shubman Gill's innings during a pivotal moment of the ICC World Test Championship (WTC) final at The Oval on Saturday. On the fourth day of a gripping match at The Oval, Gill was declared out by TV umpire Richard Kettleborough at the stroke of tea after India got a strong start in their run chase, with 444 needed to win. Pacer Scott Boland found the edge of India opener's bat and Cameron Green dove to his left in his preferred gully position to complete the catch, but the debate has opened up in the cricket world on whether the Australia all-rounder was successful in getting his hands under the ball and controlling it.
Shubman Gill's dismissal on the final ball of the second session became one of the biggest talking points on Day 4 of the ongoing World Test Championship (WTC) on Saturday. The question on everyone's lips was: why wasn't the soft dismissal call made? Shubman Gill's edge off Scott Boland flew close to Cameron Green in the slips. The tall all-rounder dived towards his left to take a low catch. However, at first glance, there appeared to be some doubt over whether or not the ball touched the ground before Green took the one-handed catch. Amid the uncertainty on whether the catch was clean, the matter was referred to television umpire Richard Kettleborough.
