Gill was on 18 in the second innings in India’s chase of 444 when he edged Scott Boland low to the left of gully where Cameron Green dived to take the catch extremely close to the ground. Gill didn’t walk off immediately and the on-field umpires went up to the third umpire without a soft signal as per the new protocol. Third umpire Richard Kettleborough looked at the replay from various angles before ruling it out.
The ICC charged him for breaching Article 2.7 which relates to “public criticism or inappropriate comment in relation to an incident occurring in an international match”. Gill accepted the sanction so there was no need for a formal hearing.
With respect to slow over-rate, India were ruled to be five overs short of the target while Australia were found to be four overs short after taking time allowances into consideration.
“I just felt disappointed. I mean, the third umpire should have seen a little more replays, a little more of, you know, how the catch has been held,” Rohit had said. “I think it was three or four times he saw, and he was convinced with it. It’s not about whether it was given out or not out, you need to have a proper and clear information about anything. It’s just not about the catch, it can be about anything.”
