During the course of the game, television umpire Richard Kettleborough made a judgement that proved to be definitive. He decided that Cameron Green had successfully taken a clean catch, which resulted in the dismissal of Shubman Gill. Despite this, Gill afterwards posted a comment on social media in which he seemed to cast doubt on the correctness of the decision that had been made.
The statements that Team India Opener Shubman Gill made regarding the decision to give him out on the fourth day of the Test match resulted in a fine of 15% of his match fee. Shubman Gill was the one who made the comments. His words, in the opinion of the International Cricket Council, constitute a violation of article 2.7, which addresses inappropriate public criticism or comments made in relation to occurrences that take place during international matches.
As a direct result of this incident, Gill has been assessed an extra penalty equal to 15% of his match fee. As a result, he will be required to make restitution for a portion of his earnings as part of his sentence, which will result in a total fine equal to 115% of the match fees he has earned.
The ball struck Shubman’s bat during the eighth over, which was bowled by Scott Boland. It then immediately proceeded towards the slip cordon, where Cameron Green displayed incredible athleticism by diving to his left and taking a stunning one-handed catch. Richard Kettleborough, the television umpire, made his decision after reviewing the replays and came to the conclusion that Cameron Green had made a clean catch to dismiss Gill. Later on that day, Gill posted a post on social media that appeared to be a challenge to the decision that had been reached earlier.
On the fifth day of the WTC Final, which took place in south London, India was defeated by Australia by 209 runs. Australia was playing with a high level of motivation.
Because to their slow over rate, the rest of Team India, with the exception of Shubman Gill, will have to forfeit their match costs. In addition, Australia will be subject to a penalty equal to eighty percent of their match expenses.
In accordance with the predetermined aim and taking into account the allotted amount of time, India was found to be lacking by a margin of five overs, while Australia was discovered to be four overs behind. In accordance with the provisions outlined in Article 2.22 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel, players are subject to a fine equal to twenty percent of their match fee for each over that their side fails to bowl within the allotted amount of time.
The penalty that would be imposed on Shubman had been expected. Ricky Ponting, a former Australian cricket legend, made a prediction after the cricketer posted on Twitter that there may be some sort of fine or possibly even a suspension for the player.
“That is a direct jab at the umpire for the decision that he made,” the opponent said in response to the comment. Ponting told me I was wrong and I couldn’t do it.
Even India’s governing body for cricket, the Board of Control for Cricket in India, attempted to settle the controversy surrounding the dismissal. According to the vice president of the BCCI, Rajeev Shukla, we ought to avoid causing a disagreement and instead accept the verdict of the third umpire.
