Indian batsman Shubman Gill was out to a controversial decision by TV umpire on day 4 of the World Test Championship (WTC) Final. India were cruising along nicely in pursuit of 444-run target with 41 runs on the board in just seven overs when he edged a ball by Scott Boland to slips where Cameron Green caught it.

The youngster, however, didn't hold back and tweeted a photo of Green where the ball could beseen touching the ground. Have a look at the tweet here:
