However, the controversy arose as Green rolled over upon completing the catch.

After careful examination of multiple angles, the third umpire eventually ruled Gill out, leaving the Indian team and fans in disbelief.

“It was a great effort from Cameron Green, but it is the moment immediately after the catch is taken, when the hand turns, that must cause Shubman Gill to be very disappointed,” expressed Harsha Bhogle, capturing the sentiments of the Indian cricket fraternity.
The decision drew strong reactions from Team India supporters, who echoed the surprise and disappointment displayed by Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill themselves.
