Shubman Gill may face sanctions from the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) due to his heated argument with the on-field umpire and his subsequent angry ball-throwing. The incident occurred during the last ball of the 17th over, bowled by Mohit Sharma.
The bowler delivered a slower ball that was wide of the off-stump, which was declared a wide. Shubman was displeased with this call, as he believed that Samson had moved towards the ball. After taking a DRS, the third umpire upheld the on-field umpire's decision. Gill became agitated and began arguing with the decision-maker, shouting and even throwing the ball while returning to his fielding position.
It is likely that the umpires will report the incident to the referee, who may call the GT skipper to inform him of any sanctions. It is against the rules and regulations for players to show dissent towards the umpire's call. The match referees have taken strong action against the cricketers for refusing to accept the decisions. Gill's angry reaction could land him in trouble, resulting in a fine.
The young batter has not performed exceptionally well as a captain. The Titans have appeared vulnerable and have lost a couple of close games.
