'One could have taken time': Shami comments on Green's controversial catch in WTC Final

Shubman Gill's controversial dismissal on Day 4 is still making waves as netizens haven't stopped ruminating on how costly the wicket could be for India. On Day 4, the opening pair of Gill and Rohit Sharma were on course to build a huge partnership for the first wicket stand. However, Gill edged one to the slip and was adjudged out by the umpire. As it was not clear to the naked eye whether the catch had been taken properly by Cameron Green, thus, for further checking, it was referred to the 3rd umpire. 

The replays of the catch showcased that a part of the ball was simultaneously meeting with the ground at the time when Green's hand was underneath the ball. Following his dismissal, Shubman Gill himself took to Twitter to hint at his disagreement with the umpire's decision. However, he was not the only one as post the day Mohammad Shami also expressed his views on the dismissal.
