The heated exchange between Shubman Gill and the umpire during the RR vs. GT IPL 2024 match goes viral

Jaipur: One of the smartest people in the industry is young Shubman Gill. The skipper of the Gujarat Titans seldom loses his composure, but on Wednesday he did so during an IPL game against the Rajasthan Royals in Jaipur. So this is what took place!

Mohit Sharma produced a slower delivery on the last ball of the 17th over, which Sanju Samson was unable to smash. It was ruled a wide by the umpire. Since every run mattered, Gill decided to evaluate it. Replays revealed that Samson had shifted slightly and was in position to strike the ball; therefore, the call was reversed. However, the wide signal from the on-field umpire was the issue.

It was necessary to record the replay again. And this time, the umpire requested that the on-field umpire stick to his first ruling. Gill objected, saying this misunderstanding did not sit well with him.

“That was the thinking at the time; we were targeting 45 in 3 overs, and it is very much gettable. According to math, both hitters have to hit 22 off of 9 balls; therefore, if one of them goes crazy, that will be enough. Although I wish I could have finished the game, I’m grateful to Rahul and Rashid bhai for doing it for us. After the victory, Gill said, “Winning the ball off the last ball is always a great feeling.”

For the Royals, this was their first defeat of the year. They are still at the top of the standings.
