BGT, 4th Test: Jaiswal Should Have Been Given The Benefit Of Doubt, Says Opener’s Coach Jwala Singh
Boxing Day Test: A lot of controversy surrounded the dismissal of Yashasvi Jaiswal after he was dismissed off a bouncer by Australian captain Pat Cummins in the 71st over of the fourth innings of the Boxing Day Test in Melbourne on Monday. The left-handed opener’s childhood coach Jwala Singh believes he should have been given the benefit of the doubt due to inconclusive evidence.
On-field umpire Joel Wilson initially ruled Jaiswal not out after Australia’s appeal for a caught-behind dismissal. However, Australian captain Pat Cummins immediately opted for the Decision Review System (DRS), challenging the on-field decision.
The third umpire, Saikat Sharfuddoula, reviewed the available evidence. While the Snickometer (Snicko) showed no spike as the ball passed Jaiswal’s bat and gloves, the television umpire relied on visual evidence of a slight deflection from the batter’s right index finger and a perceived change in the ball's direction. Based on this, Sharfuddoula overturned the on-field call, declaring Jaiswal out.
