On Sunday, June 11, at the Oval in London, Australia defeated India under the leadership of Rohit Sharma in the ICC World Test Championship (WTC) final. But after the loss, India’s captain Rohit talked about the controversial way Shubman Gill was taken out of the game during the post-match press conference.
In particular, when India was trying to get 444 runs, they lost wickets early on, including Shubman Gill, who was taken out in a controversial way on Day 4. But after the match was over, Rohit said that he didn’t understand why there weren’t any replays or zoom angles to help make the right choice.
“I just felt disappointed. I mean, the third judge should have watched a few more replays to see how the catch was made. I think he saw it three or four times, and each time he was sure. It doesn’t matter whether or not it was given out. About anything, you need to know the right and clear facts. Not only about catching. “I was a little upset about that,” Rohit Sharma said in the press meeting after the game.
“The choice was made pretty fast. When you make a catch like this, you need to be sure of more than just 100%. It is the end. We were also at that crucial point in the game. There should have been more shots from different angles. There were only one or two points of view from the camera. We can look at the IPL from 10 different points of view. I don’t understand why there was no ultra-motion or any kind of zoomed-in picture of this world event. I was a little upset about that,” he said.
For those who don’t know, on Day 4, Gill hit out to Cameron Green, who was in the slips when Scott Boland got out. But videos showed that the ball barely got off the ground, but it was still called a dismissal, which put more pressure on the Indian team as they tried to catch up.
Gill was upset about the decision, so when the day’s games were over, he went on social media and said how he felt. In any case, Australia won the prized mace because they were the best team over the course of the five days. When they did this, they became the first team to win all ICC titles in all forms.
