Shubman Gill misjudges umpire's decision

Team India opener Shubman Gill (9) was not able to repeat his previous match performance in the fifth IND vs WI T20I match and was caught in front by Windies spinner Akeal Hossein. However, after the replay was shown the ball was missing the stumps and Gill also didn't take the DRS. 

Netizens troll Shubman Gill over failure in the 5th IND vs WI T20I match 

Shubman Gill was yet again not able to perform as per the expectations of the Indian cricket team fans and repeated his poor batting performance. Though he was given out off a wrong umpiring decision in the fifth IND vs WI T20I match, he himself was equally responsible as the Indian batter didn't opt for the DRS. 

The netizens as well didn't spare Shubman Gil for his failure in the IND vs WI 5th T20I match and came up with various reactions on social media.

I couldn't score 10 runs in the first 3 matches, but 4th one looked like a good wicket so my intention was to capitalise on it. But this 5th match pitch is also not Ahmedabad type.😑

Shubman Gill has been in brilliant form in the last seven to eight months. Gill has scored hundreds in all three formats and also a double hundred against New Zealand in the first ODI in Hyderabad earlier this year. Shubman was also the leading run-scorer in the Indian Premier League 2023 and scored 890 runs from 17 matches for the Gujarat Titans. 

Shubman Gill has been struggling to score runs since the World Test Championship 2023 Final and got out cheaply for low scores in both innings against Australia. Gill failed to score in the Test and the ODI series against West Indies, whereas his poor performance continued till the first three matches of the T20I series. Gill's form is a big concern for the Indian team management as he will be the first choice for the opening position in the ODI World Cup 2023.
