Yashasvi Jaiswal Snickometer Controversy: Melbourne Test, fifth day and third session. Who would have thought that the course of the match would change in a few overs. After the fall of Rishabh Pant’s wicket, all the other batsmen started losing their wickets. Meanwhile, the wicket of Yashasvi Jaiswal in the 71st over has come into discussion. Pat Cummins was bowling, who was declared out by the third umpire without any spike in the snickometer. Australia’s legendary player Ricky Ponting has given his reaction on this subject.
First let us know what happened on the field? This is the case of the 71st over of the Indian innings, in which Pat Cummins came to bowl. Jaiswal tried to hit a shot on the fifth ball of the over, but the ball missed him. But on hearing the call, the Australian team appealed for catch. Let us remind you that the ground umpire had declared Jaiswal not out, but Australia took a review. The review found that when the ball passed Jaiswal’s glove, it had changed direction slightly. However, when seen in the snickometer, there was no spike. Nevertheless, the umpire declared Jaiswal out on the basis of change in the direction of the ball instead of the snickometer.
Ricky Ponting’s statement
When the incident of Jaiswal’s dismissal occurred, Ricky Ponting said during the commentary, “Whatever he may say on this, but the ball had clearly touched the glove. In fact, Jaiswal had started moving towards the dugout only when he came to know.” That Australia took some steps to leave the field. As far as I know, there should be no controversy on this wicket.
