The final of the World Test Championship between India and Australia has now reached an interesting turn. India needs 280 runs to win the title, while Australia needs seven wickets.

Many stalwarts like Harbhajan Singh, Sunil Gavaskar, and Virender Sehwag have objected to Cameron Green's catch. At the same time, Cameron Green himself has also given his clarification regarding this. Whereas Shubman Gill, giving his reaction through social media, has raised questions about the umpire's decision. This post can be heavy for Shubman. The ICC can also take action against them for violating the Code of Conduct.
Actually, Shubman Gill posted a post on social media after the match against the decision of giving himself a catch-out. Shubman Gill shared two magnifying glass emoji and forehead banging emoji in his caption while tweeting the photo of Cameron Green catching the catch. At the same time, Gill posted an emoji of applause and a photo of the catch on Instagram Story. This post of his can increase the controversy further.
Shubman Gill was playing after scoring 18 runs. Meanwhile, Scott Boland's ball took the edge of his bat and went towards Cameron Green in the slip. Green bent to the left and caught the ball. On this, the on-field umpire sought help from the third umpire. Third umpire Richard Kettlebrough called the catch out after a long time after watching replays from different angles. But, Rohit Sharma and Gill were surprised by this decision. Because it was not clear in the replays that the catch was taken cleanly. The ball was touching the ground from many angles. After this, the fans started hooting. At the same time, Indian veterans also questioned the decision of the third umpire.
Objecting to the third umpire's decision by posting on social media in the middle of the match may cost Gill heavily. This is a violation of the ICC Code of Conduct. Article 2.7 clearly states that posting on social media is a violation of ICC rules. Now it will be interesting to see what punishment does the ICC give to Shubman Gill?
