‘If Smith had replaced Shubman, then the umpires…’, Ravi Shastri’s comment on the third umpire’s decision

Shubman Gill was dismissed early on the fourth day of the final of the World Test Championship 2021-23. Gill is caught by Scott Boland off Cameron Green. This time, Gill was dismissed for 18 runs off 19 balls. However, there was controversy over Green’s catch. Along with cricket lovers from all over the world, former legendary cricketers also reacted to this. It also includes former Indian head coach Ravi Shastri.

Users also expressed their anger on the third umpire on social media. People accused the umpires of deciding in favor of Australia. The third umpire said there was a finger under the ball, but others, including commentators, who saw the moment, said there was a gap between the fingers and the ball was touching the grass. So Shubman Gill should have been given not out.

Response of the Shastris
Ravi Shastri, the former head coach of the Indian cricket team, was not satisfied with the dismissal of Shubman Gill in this way. He said, “If Shubman Gill had been replaced by Steve Smith, the umpires would have given not out.” Although Shastri made this comment with a smile, in a way he was criticizing the third umpire.

Kumar Sangakkara also doubted the third umpire’s decision
Not only this, the commentator and former legendary captain of the Sri Lankan cricket team Kumar Sangakkara also questioned the third umpire’s decision. He said, “Yes, it matters how you look at it. They catch the ball under the finger, but if any part of the ball touches the ground, this can be interpreted as helping the ball stay in hand. Usually the umpire always takes the no-hit decision.”

India’s innings at the end of the fourth day
The Indian team scored 164 for 3 at the end of the fourth day. For India, Virat Kohli (44 not out) and Ajinkya Rahane (20 not out) are playing well. Thus India is still 280 runs away from victory. (ind vs aus ravi shastri big statement on shubman gill third umpire out decision read here)
