In the World Test Championship Final 2023 (WTC Final 2023), there was a controversy over the catch out of opener Shubman Gill in Team India’s second innings on Saturday. The young opener has reacted to this catch on Twitter. He shared a photo in which Cameron Green is seen catching the catch. Also he has used lens in emoji. In another emoji, a person is banging his head. Shubman Gill and Rohit Sharma were batting well after India got a target of 444 runs.

In the last over before tea, Scott was caught in the slip off Boland. In the slips, Green tried desperately to catch the ball, but when he fell to the ground after hitting the drive, it appeared as if the ball had touched the ground. After this controversial decision of the third umpire, Indian fans at the Oval had to face the anger of the Australian team and Green. Slogans of cheat, cheat were raised in the stadium. Explain that the ICC has abolished the soft signal rule. During the soft signal rule, the on-field umpire used to give the decision before referring the catch to the third umpire. When nothing was clear, soft signals were given due attention.

What does the ICC rule say about the catch

• A batsman is deemed to be caught out if the ball bowled by the bowler after hitting his bat is correctly caught by the fielder before touching the ground.
• If the ball is in the hands of a fielder and the hand touches the ground, the batsman will still be out.
• While taking a catch, even if the hand touches the ground, the ball should not touch it.
• The act of taking a catch shall commence from the moment the ball is in the hands of the fielder and shall end when the fielder has gained complete control of the ball and its movement.
