Cricket fans were left scratching their heads after a strange turn of events during Day 2 of the India vs West Indies 2nd Test at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi. Yashasvi Jaiswal, who was batting beautifully on 175, was given run-out in controversial fashion \u2014 and what made it even more bizarre was that the West Indies players didn\u2019t even celebrate right away.<\/p>\n
The incident happened early in the morning session when Jayden Seales delivered a full ball that Jaiswal drove firmly towards mid-off. Shubman Gill hesitated while responding to Jaiswal\u2019s quick call, leaving him stranded halfway down the pitch. The fielder quickly threw the ball to wicketkeeper Tevin Imlach, who tried to break the stumps \u2014 but not very cleanly.<\/p>\n
Replays showed that the ball had almost slipped out of Imlach\u2019s gloves just as he hit the stumps. It looked like he barely had control of it. Normally, such a close call would be sent upstairs to the third umpire. But this time, on-field umpire Richard Illingworth didn\u2019t even refer it \u2014 he gave Jaiswal out straightaway. The Indian opener stood in disbelief, while Gill too looked visibly upset by the decision.<\/p>\n
Now, here\u2019s why the West Indies players didn\u2019t celebrate much: they themselves weren\u2019t sure it was out. Imlach and his teammates expected the umpires to check with the third umpire since it looked touch-and-go. But when Illingworth immediately raised his finger, even the Windies were caught off guard.<\/p>\n
In the end, though Jaiswal was indeed short of his crease, the moment left fans frustrated. Many felt the umpires should have gone upstairs to confirm such a close call \u2014 especially when a batsman nearing a double hundred was involved.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
