“He did miss the quarter-finals [of the Ranji Trophy 2023-24], but that was also the time he had informed the team management of his inability to play the third Test match [against England] due to some pain in his back if he batted for some length of time.

“However, the trainers at the NCA certified that his markers were clean and they found him fit to play. That seemed to have gone against Iyer. Threshold of pain is an individual thing and no trainer can judge that,” wrote Gavaskar.

The Asia Cup 2023 Final was one for the history books, as Team India delivered a masterful performance led by the fiery pacer, Mohammed Siraj.

The umpire’s decision regarding Shubman Gill’s dismissal in the second innings of the World Test Championship (WTC) Final sparked controversy and divided viewers’ opinions regarding the call.

Gill had formed an unbeaten partnership of 41 runs with Rohit Sharma for the first wicket as India embarked on their challenging chase of 444 runs. Facing Scott Boland, who replaced Mitchell Starc with the new ball, Gi?ll edged the first delivery of his fo??urth over.

Initially, it appeared that the red leather was falling short of Cameron Green, who was positioned to the left of the ball’s trajectory. Green managed to grab a one-handed stunner while falling on the ground and celebrated the catch with his teammates.

In?? the WTC Final, soft signals were eliminated for on-field decisions, which meant that the on-field umpire did not have to make a judgment before referring the decision to the TV umpire for review.

Upon reviewing the replays, it seemed that the ball may have touched the ground immediately after Green had grasped it with his fingers while falling onto his left side. Although the replay showed that his fingers were underneath the ball, there was a moment when it appeared that the ball had also made contact with?? the turf simultaneously.

Despite this uncertainty, the TV umpire Richard Kettleborough deemed that there was enough evidence to uphold th??e decision, and Gill had to?? depart after scoring 18 runs.

Unsurprisingly, the close call generated significant discussion and conversation onlin?e? among cricket enthusiasts and fans.

Bollywood actress Shraddha Kapoor too didn’t shy away from commenting on the controversial decision.

Sh??raddha took to Instagram to post a story, t?aking a dig at the third umpire.

“Me offering badam (almonds) to Third Umpire,” she captioned her photo with a laughing emoji.
