Captain of Gujarat Titans (GT), Shubman Gill, confronted the referees on the field after an LBW call against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) Abhishek Sharma in their 2025 match IPL Friday. During the 14th above the pursuit of SRH, Abhishek was stuck on his boot by a delivery of Prasidh Krishna, and Gill, with his teammates, called for an LBW. Although the referee is not interested in the appeal, Gill decided to challenge the referee’s appeal on the ground by exercising a DRS review, leading to pure chaos.
The television reruns did not show where the ball had landed; He just showed the impact and the counters. This led to a series of Gill reactions, which was not too satisfied with the decision.
Gill evacuated his frustration on the referees, chatting with them with Animated, only for Abhishek to intervene to calm his friend from the struggle.
Was Shubman Gill right to chat with the referees?
According to the rules, three key conditions must be met for an LBW decision:
The ball must either put online with the stumps, outside or be a draw (no pitch requirement in this case).
The impact point on the cushion must comply with the stumps or, if the outside, the drummer should not play a blow.
The ball must be screened to hit the stumps.
In the event of a complete draw, if the impact is outside the line of the stump, the striker was not released LBW if they try to play a blow. Indeed
If Abhishek had not offered a shot, he would have been tried.
Given the aforementioned conditions, Gill was wrong to discuss with the referees.
It was not Gill’s first instance that rises during the match. In the first rounds, Gill instructed to the fourth referee after his release.
