Experts have been divided on whether or not Cameron Green was capable of catch the ball correctly with out it touching the bottom. Videos and screenshots of the catch have raised questions over the choice taken by the third umpire, who thought the catch was truthful and declared Gill out.
India closed day 4 of the match at 164/3 with a goal of 444. Gill was at 18 off 19 balls and a part of a rollicking opening stand with skipper Rohit Sharma when he was declared out. Despite all of the doubts over the catch, the batsman didn’t get the advantage of the doubt on this case and Gill was despatched on his manner by the umpire.
By the time day 4 was over, Shubman Gill, Rohit Sharma, and Cheteshwar Pujara had misplaced their wickets. Virat Kohli and Ajinkya Rahane will begin day 5 with India needing 280 extra runs to win the World Test Championship.
