Shubman Gill Dismissal
It has been an unfortunate dismissal for Shubman Gill. Positioned at gully, Cameron Green displayed exceptional reflexes to take a blinder of a catch. A good length delivery by Scott Boland a tad bit outside off stump, prompts Shubman Gill to go on the defense. As the young batter moves forward to defend the ball, he nicks a thick outside edge to the gully area.

But here comes the controversy. Despite extreme reflexes from the 6ft 7inch Green, the Aussie all-rounder was unable to take a clean catch. The catch call went for the third umpire. Only a single camera angle was available which was unclear to give a definitive call. The third umpire opted to claim that Green’s fingers were underneath the ball.
Fans were furious after seeing Gill’s dismissal. The cricket fans vented their frustrations by claiming in modern day cricket, with extensive technology and gadgets, these calls are unnecessary.
