Indian captain Shubman Gill is in great form on the tour of England. Shubman played a century innings (147) in the Leeds Test match against the English team. Then he also scored a century (269 & 161) in both innings of Edgbaston Test match. However, Shubman could not do anything special in India’s first innings in Lord’s Test match. Shubman scored 16 runs, on the ball of fast bowler Chris Woakes, Joe was caught by Root.
Shubman was sitting again ‘Blunder’
During the Lord’s Test match, Shubman Gill survived narrowly from violating the rules of the International Cricket Council (ICC). The matter may be small, but it could have been important in the eyes of the ICC. Actually, Shubman was seen wearing a red vest under his white jersey during the national anthem before the match started.
According to Claus 19.44 of Clothing and Equipment Rules of ICC, undergarments appearing under the shirt in Tests should also be white. The appearance of colorful vest or undershert is against the rules. However, Shubman Gill soon realized his mistake.
As soon as England’s first innings was about to begin, he quietly closed his shirt buttons, due to which the red vest did not appear and the matter was resolved there. That is, Shubman Gill survived the possible fine by the ICC. Let us know that ICC dress code also keeps an eye on violations. For this, the player can also be fined, if the color is clearly visible.
