NEW DELHI:
Shubman Gill
is known for his calm demeanour on the field but the Gujarat Titans captain was spotted losing his cool and engaged in a heated exchange during the
IPL 2024
match against Rajasthan Royals in Jaipur on Wednesday.
The incident that left Gill fuming took place in the 17th over when
Mohit Sharma
bowled to RR skipper
Sanju Samson
. It was a slower ball pitched on a length well outside the off-stump.
Samson attempted a mighty swing, but the ball did not arrive as expected.
And the on-field umpire ruled it wide as the ball exceeded the tramline. Following the umpire's wide signal, the Titans decided to challenge the decision by opting for a review. Initially, the third umpire overturned the on-field umpire's call, determining it as 'not wide.'
Subsequently, after a thorough review, the third umpire reversed his decision, instructing the on-field umpire to uphold the 'wide' call. This turn of events infuriated Gill, leading him to engage in a heated argument with the umpire.
Royals post formidable total
Riyan Parag and Sanju Samson maintained their scorching form in the IPL as their aggressive half-centuries propelled Rajasthan Royals to a formidable total of 196 for three against Gujarat Titans.
Despite being at 43 for two during the powerplay, the Titans seemed to have control. However, skipper Samson (68 not out off 38) and Parag (76 off 48) joined forces to seize the momentum from the visitors. The Royals unleashed an onslaught in the last 10 overs, accumulating a staggering 123 runs.
