Mon Dec 30 10:35:51 UTC 2024: ## Controversial Dismissal Sparks Outrage in India-Australia Test Match
**Ahmedabad, India** – A controversial dismissal of Indian batsman Yashasvi Jaiswal during the fourth Test match against Australia has ignited a firestorm of criticism. Jaiswal, who scored 84 runs off 208 balls, was given out caught behind despite replays clearly showing no edge on the Snickometer.
The incident occurred when Australian captain Pat Cummins bowled a bouncer which narrowly missed Jaiswal’s bat and gloves before being caught by the wicketkeeper. Although the on-field umpire initially deemed it not out, Australia reviewed the decision. The third umpire, despite the Snickometer showing no deflection, upheld the decision, ruling Jaiswal out.
This decision prompted immediate outrage. The crowd chanted “cheater, cheater” repeatedly for 10 minutes, expressing their disbelief at the ruling. Legendary Indian cricketer Sunil Gavaskar, providing commentary, voiced his anger, stating the decision was “absolutely wrong” and questioned the use of technology if optical illusions were to be believed over clear evidence from the Snickometer. Jaiswal himself appeared visibly upset by the umpire’s call.
The incident follows previous accusations of questionable umpiring decisions in the series and fuels growing frustration among Indian fans. Australian media outlets have added fuel to the fire with provocative posts mocking Indian captains Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, further escalating the tension. The controversial decision overshadowed Jaiswal’s solid innings and added another layer of drama to an already intense Test series.
