The controversial dismissal of Yashasvi Jaiswal during the fifth day of the IND vs AUS Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 has sparked widespread debate, with BCCI Vice President Rajeev Shukla voicing his discontent over the third umpire’s decision. Jaiswal’s dismissal came under scrutiny as the decision, based on a supposed glove contact, lacked clear evidence on Snicko.
Pat Cummins delivered a short ball aimed around Jaiswal’s leg, baiting him into a pull shot. The ball appeared to graze his gloves before being caught by Carey. While the on-field umpire gave it out, Jaiswal immediately reviewed the decision.
The third umpire, Sharfuddoula Saikat, ruled it out, citing glove contact. However, Snicko, the technological tool to detect contact, showed no definitive spike. Despite the lack of technological evidence, the third umpire overturned the on-field umpire’s decision, igniting outrage among fans and experts.
BCCI Vice President Rajeev Shukla criticized the decision, stating: “Yashasvi Jaiswal was clearly not out. The third umpire should have taken note of what technology was suggesting. Overruling the on-field umpire requires solid evidence, which was missing in this case.”
Yashaswi jayaswal was clearly not out. Third umpire should have taken note of what technology was suggesting. While over ruling field umpire third umpire should have solid reasons . @BCCI @ICC @ybj_19
