India's Newly Appointed Captain Shubman Gill May Face ICC Sanctions Due To This
India's newly appointed skipper could face ICC sanctions for wearing black socks during Day 1 of the Leeds Test against England. It was his first match as skipper taking the captaincy baton from Rohit Sharma would call it quits from the Test format. Gill leading by example smashed a fabulous century on his Test captaincy debut, the right hand batter joined an elite list consisting Vijay Hazare, Sunil Gavaskar, Dilip Vengsarkar, and Virat Kohli. The list features Indians to score a century on his captaincy debut. Despite him walking the talk, the 25-year-old could land in major trouble due to his socks. He could face disciplinary action for violating the ICC's clothing regulations after wearing black socks during his innings on Day 1.

Bad news for Shubman Gill, Indian captain may pay huge amount of money for...
In this collection of pictures we shall know the bad news for Shubman Gill, interestingly he could also pay a huge amount of money for that. Let's take a closer look. On the first day of the Leeds Test against England (20 June), Indian captain Shubman Gill's brilliance was seen. Shubman scored a century in his first Test innings as captain. This was the sixth century of Shubman's Test career. When the game ended on the first day, Shubman Gill was not out after scoring 127 runs and vice-captain Rishabh Pant was not out after scoring 65 runs. The Indian team's score was also 359 runs for the loss of three wickets in the first innings. This brilliant century of Shubman Gill is being discussed. Along with this, the Indian captain was also in the headlines on the first day of the match (20 June) due to another reason. Actually, on the first day of this match, Shubman came out to bat wearing black socks, which is being considered a violation of ICC rules. Let us tell you that according to clause 19.45 of ICC's Clothing and Equipment Rules, players have to wear white, cream or light grey colored socks in Test cricket. But Shubman Gill came out wearing black colored socks. This rule came into effect from May 2023 after the recommendations of the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC). Now it will depend on the match referee Richie Richardson what decision he takes. If the match referee believes that Shubman has deliberately committed a Level-1 offense, then the Indian captain can be fined, which can be from 0 to 50 percent. However, if the referee feels that Shubman Gill did this inadvertently or due to circumstances (eg- the white socks were wet), then he can escape the fine. For ICC's Level-1 offence, players can be fined 0 to 50 percent and given demerit points. For Level-2 offence, players can be fined 50 to 100 percent and banned (eg. 1 Test or 2 ODIs). However, cases related to dress code rarely fall under Level-2 offence. 1. In 2016, Chris Gayle used a black bat in a Big Bash League (BBL) match, which was against the rules. Gayle was then fined 10 percent of his match fee, 2. In 2018, KL Rahul came wearing a helmet in a Test match against Afghanistan which was against ICC rules. In such a situation, he was fined 10 percent of his match fee, 3. Pakistani batsman Imam-ul-Haq came out with a logo on his bat in the match against England during the 2019 ODI World Cup, which was against ICC rules. Imam was fined 15 percent of his match fee, 4. Joe Root had put a Rainbow symbol on his jersey in the match against India in 2021, which was in support of the LGBTQ+ community. Due to this, he was fined 15 percent of his match fee.

IND vs ENG: Did Shubman Gill break rules during the first Test? ICC rulebook provides clarity
Shubman Gill wearing black socks NEW DELHI: Shubman Gill 's sparkling debut as India's Test captain may have drawn praise for his leadership and batting brilliance, but an unlikely fashion faux pas could land him in trouble with the ICC. Gill, who scored an unbeaten 127 on Day 1 of the opening Test against England at Headingley, was spotted wearing black socks - a violation of Test cricket's Clothing and Equipment Rules. According to ICC regulations, players in Test matches are required to wear socks that are white, cream, or light grey. By donning black socks, Gill potentially breached Article 4 of the ICC's Clothing and Equipment Code. The incident could earn him a reprimand for a first offence, with escalating fines (up to 75% of match fee) for repeat violations within a 12-month period. The match referee will now determine whether the infraction was accidental or a deliberate Level 1 breach. If found guilty of the latter, Gill could be fined between 10 and 20 percent of his match fees. The sock issue came on an otherwise stellar day for the 25-year-old, who became only the fifth Indian skipper to score a century in his first innings as captain, joining legends Vijay Hazare, Sunil Gavaskar, Dilip Vengsarkar, and Virat Kohli. His effort, alongside Yashasvi Jaiswal 's commanding 101, propelled India to a dominant 359/3 at stumps. Jaiswal and KL Rahul began positively with a 91-run stand before England struck twice in quick succession. Debutant B Sai Sudharsan was dismissed for a four-ball duck, but India wrested control through a 129-run partnership between Gill and Jaiswal. Rishabh Pant's entertaining unbeaten 65 capped off India's commanding display. Game On Season 1 kicks off with Sakshi Malik's inspiring story. Watch Episode 1 here
