During the fourth Test match between India and Australia in Melbourne, there was a dispute when opener Yashasvi Jaiswal was assaulted. Pat Cummins came to bowl the 71st over and on the fifth ball of that over, Yashasvi decided to play a shot backwards. The ball went into the hands of wicketkeeper Alex Carey and the Australia team appealed.
Brilliant partnership of Yashasvi Jaiswal and Rishabh Pant
Australia have set a target of 340 runs to win against India. India did not start well and the team lost three wickets in just 33 runs. After this, Yashasvi and Pant together took over the innings. However, India suffered a fourth blow at a score of 121. Travis Head caught Rishabh Pant at the hands of Mitchell Marsh. He could score 30 runs in 104 balls. Pant, along with Yashasvi, did not allow any of India’s wickets to fall in the second session, but in the third session, he lost concentration and lost the wicket in the big shot. Pant shared an 88-run partnership with Yashasvi.
The third umpire ignored the rule
The on-field umpire did not give Yashasvi out, after which Cummins decided to take DRS. It was not clear in the replay whether the ball took the edge of Yashasvi’s bat or not. After this, it was checked with a snicko meter, but no movement was seen in the snicko meter. Despite this, the third umpire overturned the on-field umpire’s decision and declared Yashasvi out. This shocked everyone present there and legendary Indian batsman Sunil Gavaskar, who was present in the commentary box, also raised questions.
