India opener Shubman Gill wore a device branded "Temple" during the first ODI against New Zealand in Auckland on Wednesday. The appearance of the device has drawn attention to International Cricket Council regulations regarding advertising on player equipment during matches.
ICC rules prohibit players from displaying commercial logos on clothing or equipment unless approved by the governing body. The "Temple" device, which appears to be a wearable technology product, raises questions about compliance and potential sanctions.
The match, played on November 4, 2026, marked the opening fixture of the series. Officials are expected to review the incident to determine if any breach occurred.
