Why can Shubman Gill be banned for 1 game? What rules are called here

Match no. 51 of IPL 2025 became one warm between Gujarat Titans and Sunrisers Hyderabad on Friday. Playing at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, GT won by 38 runs and scored two points in the important playoff race. However, the day was a fierce for his captain Shubman Gill, who joined hot arguments with umpires twice. On May 6, as a GT gear for his upcoming game against Mumbai Indians, Gill is likely to be punished for his tasks.

Can Gill be punished?

To indulge in hot discussions with umpires twice, Gill must violate Article 2.8 of the IPL code of conduct. This code is related to dissatisfaction on the decision of an umpire. Article 2.8 includes the following conditions:

“(A) excessive, clear disappointment with the decision of an umpire;
(B) A clear delay in starting the game again or leaving wickets;
(C) shaking head;
(D) To pointing or watching the lbw when going out;
(E) rubbing the shoulder when pointing to the pad or caught back;
(F) snatching the cap from the umpire;
(G) requesting a referral for the TV umpire (such a match can be allowed in reference to a valid request for a referral);
(H) To argue or enter a long discussion with the umpire about your decision “

In the case of Gill, the first and final position was certainly completed.

What will be the punishment of Gill?

(i) Level 1 Crime – Warning or penalty up to 25 percent of match fees, and a demerit point; Or 26-50 percent fine and two demeriting points;

(ii) Level 2 offenses – a suspension point or 50–100 percent fine of match fee, and three demerit points; Or two suspension points and four demerit points.

The first argument was on the final ball of the 13th over, when Gill was scored 76 runs in just 38 delivery. His dismissal was not a clear because the umpires took some time to decide whether the ball touched the stumps or the gloves of wicketkeeper Henrik Klassen make a contact first. The third umpire declared Gill out and while dug back, he joined a warm discussion with the fourth umpire.

Later during SRH’s chase, Gill once again held an animated discussion with the umpires when batsman Abhishek Sharma was not given GT’s LBW appeal. During the 14th over for Hyderabad’s 224 -run target, Abhishek Sharma was trapped on his boot, and Gill appealed to an LBW, with his soldiers. The umpire did not show much interest, due to which GT used the option to challenge the decision. The review did not show where the ball picked; It only showed impacts and wickets.

Gill was not very pleased about something and interacted with an on-field umpires. Abhishek had to move to Gill to calm down, and eventually, the heat stopped, and the chase started again.
