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.

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.

In One Day Internationals (ODIs), socks may also match the base colour of the team's playing final decision lies with the match referee, who must assess whether Gill's actions constituted a deliberate Level 1 offence. If deemed intentional, he could be fined between 10 to 20 percent of his match fee.

Shubman Gill's fashion blunder in England Test may attract ICC penalty
Shubman Gill 's commanding debut as India's Test captain may have made headlines for all the right reasons on Day 1 of the Headingley Test against England, but an unusual wardrobe choice could now draw sanctions from the International Cricket Council (ICC). Gill, who scored an unbeaten 127 and led India to 359/3 at stumps, was seen wearing black socks — a potential breach of ICC's Clothing and Equipment Code for Test matches. According to Article 19.45 of the ICC regulations, players are required to wear socks in white, cream, or light grey while playing in Tests. By donning black socks, Gill may have committed a Level 1 violation, which could attract a reprimand for a first offence or fines ranging between 10 and 20 percent of match fees for a deliberate breach. Repeat infractions in a 12-month period can escalate to 75% of the match fee. The match referee will assess whether the breach was accidental or a deliberate oversight. Live Events The sock controversy came amid an otherwise dominant day for the 25-year-old, who became only the fifth Indian Test captain to score a century in his first innings as skipper. He joins the elite company of Vijay Hazare, Sunil Gavaskar, Dilip Vengsarkar, and Virat Kohli. Gill's knock came after an impressive 101 from Yashasvi Jaiswal, who shared a 129-run stand with the captain. Earlier, KL Rahul contributed 42 in a 91-run opening partnership. Though debutant Sai Sudharsan fell for a duck, India regained momentum with Rishabh Pant's unbeaten 65, including a six in the final over. Despite the sock slip, Gill's leadership and batting have set the tone for India in the five-match series.

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.
