NEW DELHI: Former Australia captain Ricky Ponting on Sunday said the catch taken by all-rounder Cameron Green to dismiss Shubman Gill had the ball touching the ground at one point. Ponting, who played 168 Tests, 375 ODIs and 17 T20Is for Australia between 1995 and 2012, credited the third umpire for taking the "correct decision" during the fourth day's play of the World Test Championship final.
Gill was batting on 18 when he edged one off Scott Boland and the ball flew low to the left of Green at gully, who scooped it inches from the ground and immediately celebrated the dismissal, as India were rocked early in the chase of 444.
