Yashasvi Jaiswal’s DR’s dismissal has been the talking point of India’s 184-run loss to Australia at MCG.
Former India cricketer Surinder Khanna talks about India’s disappointing loss to Australia by 184 runs in the 4th test of the Border-Gavaskar series on Monday in Melbourne. Surinder Khanna felt that Yashasvi Jaiswal batted well but felt that the dismissal came at a terrible time and the rest of the team couldn’t hold together. “Only Jaiswal batted; the rest were just coming and going,” said Khanna, pointing towards Jaiswal’s tremendous game amidst the team’s failure.
First, the umpire gave him a no-out. The fielding side took a referral. In the referral, there is a snickometer, and as per Sunil Gavaskar, there is no deflection, but if you go by the naked eye, there is a difference of 15 to 17 degrees.
After hitting the gloves, the ball became slow, and wicketkeeper Alex Carey had to dive forward to take the catch. The square-leg umpire thought it was not a clean catch. Technically, on Snick meter, no deflection is there, but he said if you’ve gone by me since I was a keeper, it hit his gloves.
He says the snickometer is not showing any deflection, so it’s not out. Earlier, there were players like Gilchrist who used to walk away, but nowadays, youngsters like Jaiswal do not walk away. He is saying he did not edge it, but it was clear that he loved it.
He never walked away when he used to nick it. Gavaskar is saying, I asked him once if I had caught you 15 times behind the stumps, but you were only given out four times.
What about the other 11 times? He used to laugh and say that when I was not out, umpires would give me out a few times. So, that’s why I never walked away. Is this an answer? This is not the right thing.
