Gujarat Titans had an off day on the subject in opposition to the Rajasthan Royals in Jaipur on Wednesday, April 10 in the 2024 version of the IPL regardless of getting each the openers out in the powerplay itself. And some umpiring calls solely made it more durable for them and the feelings have been on show as properly, particularly for the skipper Shubman Gill, who even shouted at the on-field umpire.
The incident befell on the penultimate supply of the seventeenth over of the Titans’ bowling innings bowled by Mohit Sharma. The on-field umpire had given a large when the ball was bowled outdoors the huge line regardless of the batter, RR skipper Sanju Samson shuffling throughout to his off-stump. Gill was fast to ship it upstairs and get the resolution checked. The third umpire, KN Ananthapadmanabhan, reasoned it properly that the batter had shifted a bit in direction of his off-stump and therefore the huge line too shifted accordingly and judged that it wasn’t huge.
However, he was confused if the on-field umpire gave it out or not and advised Vinod Seshan to stick with his name which was huge. There was confusion and Seshan checked with Ananthapadmanabhan once more as to what the resolution he was going with. The third umpire 15-20 seconds later checked the replay once more and one way or the other modified his name to huge, ultimately staying with the on-field name.
The sudden change left GT gamers surprised and livid. The wicketkeeper Matthew Wade could not consider it and Gill shouted at the umpire relating to the last-minute change. Gill then was concerned in a size animated dialogue with each the on-field umpires Kumar Dharmsena and Vinod Seshan.
Seshan tried to purpose with Gill and repeatedly urged Gill to return to his place however the query remained as to why there was a necessity for the sudden change in the name. To make issues worse, Mohit Sharma needed to bowl an additional supply and Sanju Samson hit the ball in direction of the long-on fielder which Rahul Tewatis misplaced in the lights and conceded a boundary.
