Even though Australia won the WTC Final on Sunday, the controversy around Shubman Gill’s dismissal has been widely debated
The cameras showed that the ball touched the ground just after the player caught the ball. Still, the third umpire Richard Kettleborough gave it as ‘out’.
Following the match, team India was fined 100% of their match fees for a slow over rate. Shubman Gill was fined 115% of the match fees – 100% for slow over rate and 15% for publicly criticising the official.
After the tour of West Indies, India will travel to Sri Lanka to participate in the Asia Cup 2023 before returning to India for the ICC World Cup 2023, which for the first time India is set to host solo.
