Gujarat Titans skipper Shubman Gill showed signs of frustration over a wide call during the ongoing game against Rajasthan Royals at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur.
Shubman Gill won the toss and chose to bowl first for Gujarat Titans. Their bowlers made a strong start, with Umesh Yadav removing Yashasvi Jaiswal for 24 runs. Rashid Khan struck next, dismissing Jos Buttler for just 8 runs, leaving Rajasthan Royals struggling at 42 for 2 within the powerplay.

However, after that, the momentum shifted firmly in Rajasthan’s favor. Gujarat Titans struggled to take another wicket, allowing Rajasthan Royals to build a substantial partnership. As of now, Rajasthan Royals have reached 162 for 2 after 18 overs, with Riyan Parag and Sanju Samson forming a partnership worth 120 runs.
In the 17th over, bowled by Mohit Sharma, a wide call against Gujarat Titans sparked Shubman Gill’s frustration. The incident occurred when the final delivery of the over, a slower ball outside the off stump, was deemed wide by the on-field umpire.
Sanju Samson attempted a shot but missed, with the ball narrowly avoiding contact with his bat. Despite the umpire’s call, Shubman Gill chose to challenge the decision by opting for the Decision Review System (DRS).
Initially, the third umpire ruled that since Sanju Samson moved across, the line also moved, resulting in a non-wide delivery. However, the decision was swiftly reversed, and the on-field umpire was instructed to stick with the original call of wide.
Shubman Gill was visibly angered by this decision and approached the umpire to express his frustration. Despite his protestations, the wide call stood, adding to Gill’s displeasure with the situation.
