The India vs Australia Test series may have been decided by a controversial Decision Review System (DRS) by the third umpire, Sharfuddoula Ibne Shahid Saikat, in the Boxing Day Test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG). With around 20 overs left in the MCG Test, Yashasvi Jaiswal was adjudged out by the third umpire after Joel Wilson shook his head for a caught behind appeal.
Totally wrong: Gavaskar on Jaiswal’s DRS dismissal
Replays showed no conclusive evidence of Jaiswal hitting the ball. The Snikometer had no spikes on it when the ball passed Jaiswal’s bat or glove. However, from a side-on video angle, Sharfuddoula clearly saw some deviation and adjudged after watching it a couple of times that the ball had brushed Jaiswal’s glove.
Fans online were furious. How can an umpire overrule the technology and make a decision? And Sunil Gavaskar, former Indian captain, agrees with them. “This is a totally wrong decision by umpires. This is clearly not out. Total wrong call from the umpires,” Gavaskar fumed while live on air.
"I can see the ball has made contact with the gloves. Joel, you need to change your decision."And with that, Jaiswal is out! #AUSvIND pic.twitter.com/biOQP4ZeDB
