Fans gave amazing advice to ICC
Fans advised the ICC to fine umpire Richard Kettlebrough. Some fans even advised him to get this umpire’s eyes treated. Such reactions are coming because the fans are disappointed with the umpiring. By the way, Rohit Sharma also looked upset with this decision of the umpire.
Richard Kettelborough should also be fined 2 weeks of his wages for making such a blunder in the final of such a prestigious ICC tournament.

Rohit Sharma expressed displeasure over Gill’s wicket
Rohit Sharma also expressed disappointment on the wicket of Shubman Gill. He said that more camera angles should be seen on Gill’s wicket. Rohit expressed surprise that there is a lack of camera angles in a big tournament like the ICC. Well, there has been a controversy over the wicket of Shubman Gill, but it is clear that India played bad cricket in the World Test Championship.
Even though there was a dispute over Gill’s wicket, other batsmen lost their wickets by playing bad shots. In the second innings, Team India surrendered before lunch on the fifth day. Veterans like Virat Kohli, Rahane lost their wickets carelessly. Jadeja did the same. As a result, Australia won the World Test Championship and India got defeated.
