Jaiswal, who was batting on a gritty 84 off 208 balls, seemed to be India\u2019s best hope of salvaging a draw against Australia\u2019s relentless attack. The controversy arose when he attempted to hook a short-pitched delivery from Pat Cummins that angled down the leg side.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
On-field umpire Joel Wilson initially ruled Jaiswal not out after Australia\u2019s appeal for a caught-behind dismissal. However, Australian captain Cummins immediately opted for the Decision Review System (DRS), challenging the on-field decision.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The third umpire, Sharfuddoula Saikat, reviewed the available evidence. While the Snickometer showed no spike as the ball passed Jaiswal\u2019s bat and gloves, the television umpire relied on visual evidence of a slight deflection from the batter\u2019s right index finger and a perceived change in the ball's direction. Based on this, Sharfuddoula overturned the on-field call, declaring Jaiswal out.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Sunil Gavaskar was scathing in his critique of the third umpire\u2019s decision. Speaking on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, \"If you are using technology, then use technology only. Whatever I am seeing, I always say that this is an optical illusion. Snicko is a straight line. So it is absolutely not out. According to me, this is not out. This is a wrong decision. Absolutely wrong decision. Otherwise, don't use technology. If you are going to go with optical illusion, then don't use technology at all. It's simple.\"<\/p>\r\n\r\n
BCCI vice president Rajeev Shukla also took to 'X' to express his disappointment, saying, \u201cYashaswi Jaiswal was clearly not out. The third umpire should have taken note of what technology was suggesting. While overruling the field umpire, the third umpire should have solid reasons.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Jaiswal was visibly distraught with the decision. After a brief argument with the on-field umpires, he walked back to the pavilion after scoring 84 off 208.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Five-time ICC umpire of the year Simon Taufel said on Channel Seven that Sharfuddoula was correct in giving Jaiswal out. \"With the technology, we have a hierarchy and (if there is a) clear deflection off the bat there is no need to go any further and use any other form of technology to prove the case. The clear deflection is conclusive evidence.\"<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Former Australian cricketer Simon Katich doing commentary on SEN cricket said, \"Clearly out. I can't believe Snicko hasn't shown anything up.\"<\/p>\r\n\r\n
