L Umpiring"- Furious fans slam third umpire for controversial decision against Shubman Gill during WTC final
Indian opener Shubman Gill had to depart due to a controversial umpiring decision during Day 4 of the World Test Championship (WTC) final against Australia at The Oval. Cameron Green dove to his right in the slip cordon and claimed an incredible catch.
Gill stood his ground and the on-field umpires sent the decision to the third umpire to see if the catch was clean or not. The third umpire took his time and from the replays decided that the fingers were underneath the ball when Green took the catch and no part of the ball touched the grass.Fans on Twitter slammed the third umpire for what they thought was an appalling decision with many posting stills of the ball having probably touched the ground even when Cameron Green had his fingers underneath the ball.
