Shubman Gill lost his cool at the umpires during the 2024 Indian Premier League (IPL) between the Gujarat Titans and Rajasthan Royals (RR) on Wednesday (April 10) at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur. The GT skipper was unhappy at the third umpire flip, flopping his decision over a wide call.

The incident took place during the 17th over of the Royals’ innings after Gill won the toss and chose to bowl first following a ten-minute delay to the game due to rain in Jaipur, which saw the ground covered with covers minutes before the toss was scheduled to take place.

On the last ball of the over from Mohit Sharma to Sanju Samson, the on-field umpire declared it a wide. However, Gill was not happy with the decision and reviewed the call. Here is where the drama started, as the third umpire initially declared it was not wide due to movement from Samson towards the off stump. However, the third umpire was evidently confused and changed his decision.
