Australian team won by dishonesty
India vs Australia: The Australian cricket team may have won the fourth match of the series, but now questions have started being raised on this victory. Is the Australian team now bent on foul play at home? This victory cannot be called spotless. The former captain of the Indian team has also raised questions on a decision. Which also looks fine. Actually the matter is about the dismissal of Yashasvi Jaswal.
A big target was set before Team India
The Indian team had a target of 340 runs to win in the last innings of the match on the last day. Which was not easy, but not very difficult either. If Team India had tried and the first few batsmen had scored runs, the match could have been won. But what happened was what was expected. Captain Rohit Sharma, KL Rahul and Virat Kohli were out. After this, the possibility started appearing that the Indian team will no longer go for victory, but will look towards drawing the match.
Questions are being raised on the dismissal of Yashasvi Jaiswal
Now Yashasvi Jaiswal and Rishabh Pant were at the crease. Both of them also made a good partnership. But when Pant was out, there was some commotion in the team. Now the entire responsibility was on Yashasvi Jaiswal, who also seemed to be in good shape. Captain Pat Cummins brought the 71st over of the innings. On the fifth ball of this over, it seemed that after hitting Jaiswal’s bat, the ball went back into the gloves of the wicket keeper. But the on-field umpire did not give out. The Australian team was unhappy with the decision, the team took DRS and the decision was referred to the third umpire. This ball was short around the leg stump. The field was ready for it and Jaiswal was caught, he tried to pull, but the ball went to wicketkeeper Carey, who dived forward and caught the ball a few inches above the ground. Replays from the side showed that the ball hit the bottom glove. There was no spike on RTS, but umpire Sharafuddaula overturned the decision based on visual evidence.
Sunil Gavaskar upset over the decision
While all this was going on, at the same time, former Indian team captain and veteran batsman Sunil Gavaskar was doing commentary. He clearly said that there is no movement in the Snicko meter, hence Jaiswal should not be given out. Now when we are using technology, then what is the need to use our brain, but nothing happened. Jaiswal was given out. Before leaving the field, Jaiswal himself spoke to the umpire, but the umpire did not listen to him and asked him to go back. This proved to be the turning point of the match. From here, Team India lagged behind and Australia won. But this was certainly a controversial decision.
