India lost their second straight ICC World Test Championship Final, this time against Australia and many experts and fans gave their opinion on what went wrong for Team India. However, the controversial dismissal of Indian opener Shubman Gill in the second innings raised the eyebrows of many as fans questioned the third umpire's decision. Recently, Bollywood actor Shraddha Kapoor took a sly dig at the third umpire with her hilarious social media post.
While chasing a mammoth total of 444 runs, the Men in Blue lost their first wicket in the form of Shubman Gill’s controversial dismissal. The Gujarat Titans star was dismissed by Cameron Green's catch on Scott Boland's delivery and Gill was given out by the third umpire Richard Kettleborough.
Many offered their disappointment with Kettleborough's decision while some took to social media to criticise the umpire. Among them, Indian actress Shraddha Kapoor took to her official Instagram handle and trolled the third umpire by offering him almonds, which are helpful in brain functionality. The Aashiqui 2 actor took an indirect dig at the umpire with her Instagram story where she wrote, "Me offering badam (almond) to Third Umpire."
