Travis Head's wicket has become a big controversy today. Many cricket lovers believe that giving Head out is a wrong decision. Questions are being raised on the catch taken by Shubman Gill. India defeated Australia by 4 wickets in the first semi-final match of the Champions Trophy played in Dubai.

Mohammed Shami got the wicket of Cooper Connolly (0) in the third over while Chakravarthy dismissed Head (39) in the penultimate over of the first powerplay. The Indian players are donning black armbands in the memory and honour of domestic cricket legend Padmakar Shivalkar, who passed away due to age-related illness.

When batter Shubman Gill took this running catch, he fully dismissed Travis Head on the long-on but also received a warning to remind him of the MCC law by the on-field umpires.

When the TV broadcasters showed the umpire having a lengthy conversation with Gill, the catch became a controversial topic.

Moments after Travis Head's dismissal, umpire Richard Illingworth was seen having a word with Shubman Gill. Commentators Atherton and Hayden did not agree.
