Yashasvi Jaiswal Out Controversy: This issue has been continuously highlighted on social media since the controversial dismissal of Yashasvi Jaiswal in the second innings of the fourth match of the Border Gaskar Series. Indian veterans have also expressed their objection to Jaiswal being declared out. Former great Indian batsman Sunil Gavaskar had expressed his anger during the commentary itself and raised questions on the umpire’s decision.
Sunil Gavaskar said that if deflection is not visible, whether the deflection is seen or not, it could be an optical illusion. Why are you using technology? The reason we are using technology is to show the line, here it appears that the line is absolutely straight, what you are seeing could be an optical illusion. Don’t be fooled by optical illusions. If you are using technology then go with technology, Snicko has very straight lines, in my opinion it is completely not out. This is a completely wrong decision. If you are going to take decisions based on optical illusion then do not use technology at all.
What do ICC rules say?
According to ICC rules, when a team decides to take DRS, the on-field umpire plays an important role in it. Yashasvi Jaiswal was given not out by the on-field umpire, so conclusive evidence was required to overturn the decision. Although nothing like this was visible on the snickometer, the third umpire created a controversy by giving Yashasvi out.
Let us tell you that the 5th and last match of the Border Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 being played between India and Australia will be played in Sydney. This match will take place between January 3 and January 7 in the new year. Australia has taken a 2-1 lead in the 5-match series. To retain the Border Gavaskar Trophy, Team India will have to win the Sydney Test at any cost.
