Out or not out?
The incident occurred on the penultimate delivery of the 71st over of IND vs AUS 4th Test bowled by Cummins. The ball brushed past Jaiswal’s bat and gloves and went on to rest safely in Alex Carey’s gloves. While the on-field umpire Joel Wilson maintained that it was not out, Cummins decided to use a review. While replays showed that there was a deflection as the ball passed the bat and the gloves, there was no reading on the snicko meter. The third umpire, Sharfuddoula Saikat, is bound to rely on the technology to make his decision.
However, in this case, he simply trusted his naked eyes and decided to overturn Wilson’s decision. As a result, Jaiswal’s 84-run knock came to an end.
