Rohit Sharma responds to the contentious no-snicko dismissal of Yashasvi Jaiswal: "It has been occurring since India."
Social media is buzzing about Yashasvi Jaiswal's contentious and spectacular dismissal on Day 5 of the Boxing Day Test between Australia and India at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. Australia won by 184 runs, and the dismissal was the last nail in the coffin. Regarding the contentious call made by the third umpire, Rohit Sharma stated that the Indian side always seems to lose these kinds of calls. Jaiswal tried a hook shot off Pat Cummins' bowling on Day 5 of the Melbourne Test, when India was down seven wickets. According to replays, the ball appeared to have touched Jaiswal's gloves en route to Alex Carey, the wicketkeeper.Snicko did not provide the third umpire with any convincing evidence to reverse the on-field decision of "not out." Nevertheless, the official examined the side-on view and determined that Jaiswal's right index finger made contact with the ball during the play. Then, Jaiswal was given out by the umpire."Look, the technology showed nothing, so I'm not sure what to make of it. He appeared to have touched something that could be seen with the naked eye. At the post-match press conference, Rohit Sharma stated, "To be fair, he did touch the ball. I'm not sure how the umpires want to use the technology."
