India began their chase in the final of the World Test Championship against Australia on a positive note. Openers Shubman Gill and Rohit Sharma made a strong start in their pursuit of a daunting target. Both the openers smoked a few boundaries before Gill was caught out by a stunning effort from Cameron Green.

The Aussie all-rounder Green showcased another blinder of an effort in the second innings of the game at Gully. But the catch seemed doubtful to be given out or not out as Green’s fingers were clearly touching the ground. The only question was whether Green grounded the ball during his effort or not. The on-field umpires consulted the TV umpire, who took a look from a few angles and then decided to call it out. Both Gill and Rohit were left baffled and so are the users on social media.

Take a look at a few Tweets:

The Indian openers made a strong start in pursuit of a record total at The Oval. Both the players collected a few fours in second session of Day 4 and were set to remain unbeaten at Tea. With only a few minutes left in Tea to be taken, Boland found one ball to deceive Gill. He got a shoulder of his bat on the ball and Green dived on his left to take the catch. Meanwhile, there was no soft-signal used in the decision as it was scrapped by ICC in the previous month. With June 1st, the soft signal rule was taken by the International Board.

The major change involved the soft signal being scrapped, with umpires no longer required to give a soft signal when referring decisions to the TV umpire,” ICC said in a statement.
