As captain on Wednesday, Shubman Gill had plenty of reasons to be dissatisfied. First, as Sanju Samson and Riyan Parag of the Rajasthan Royals went for the big knocks, his bowlers for the Gujarat Titans let up runs. Second, Shubman Gill was evidently displeased with one umpire’s call since he was observed conversing animatedly with the official. The incident occurred in the seventeenth over that GT’s Mohit Sharma was bowling.
Gill went upstairs for DRS after making the last over delivery, which was wide. Batter Sanju Samson attempted to play in that delivery, but he went a bit outside off.

However, the broad call persisted.
