The controversial dismissal of Shubman Gill during the ongoing WTC 2023 final between India and Australia is spreading like a wildfire in the cricketing fraternity. A lot of individuals in the cricketing fraternity including the former cricketers and experts of the game as well have called out the tv umpire for a poor decision at a very crucial juncture in the match.
Meanwhile, Gill himself took to the micro-blogging site Twitter to express his displeasure over tv umpire’s controversial decision. Gill posted the image of Cameron Green catching the ball captioning it with some cryptic emojis.
Subsequently, a section of the Indian cricket fans took it as an opportunity to troll the tv umpire Richard Kettleborough brutally. Fans rushed to the reply section of Gill’s tweet and called out the third umpire Richard Kettleborough for his decision that went against India and Shubman Gill.
Here’s how fans reacted:

What’s the use of spending so much money when a wrong decision is made despite so much technology, in such an important match?
How can we allow such a horrible call by the third umpire in “THE ULTIMATE TEST”?
