Shubman Gill’s controversial run-out dismissal
The major talking point from the Gujarat Titans innings was the controversial run-out of Shubman Gill. The incident took place in the 13th over of GT’s batting when Jos Buttler cleared a delivery off Zeeshan Ansari towards the short fine leg and called Gill for a quick single. Harshal Patel quickly ran, collected the ball and fired a flat throw towards the striker’s end.
Wicketkeeper Heinrich Klaasen, who positioned himself in front of the stumps, attempted to deflect the ball onto the stumps for run-out. However, the ball hit the stumps, but there was no confusion whether the gloves or ball hit the stumps first. The on-field umpire sent the message to the third umpire to check the run-out. After checking every angle, the third umpire concluded that the ball had hit the stumps.
The decision by the third umpire left Shubman Gill angry and frustrated as he walked back to the dugout with disappointment. As soon as he reached the dug out, Gill had a heated exchange with the fourth umpire Michael Gough over the dismissal. The video of the same was posted by Star Sports, which soon went viral on social media.
At the time of Shubman Gill’s dismissal, Gujarat Titans were already in a solid position with a total of 149/2 in 13 overs. With brilliant innings by Jos Buttler and valuable contribution from Washington Sundar took the visitors past the 200-run mark.
