'Such Decisions Are Against Us...', Rohit Breaks Silence On Jaiswal's Controversial Dismissal

Yashasvi Jaiswal's controversial dismissal in the final session of the fourth Border-Gavaskar Trophy Test played at the Melbourne Cricket Ground became the main topic of discussion. The Indian team was chasing a big target of 340 runs, and Jaiswal's wicket proved to be the turning point of the match. The third umpire's decision divided cricket lovers and experts.

Snickometer did not show spike

The incident took place when Jaiswal was declared out for catch. The snickometer showed no spike off the bat, but did indicate a slight edge. The third umpire called it out, forcing Jaiswal to return to the pavilion.

After the match, Indian captain Rohit Sharma gave his opinion on this controversial decision. "The snickometer showed nothing, but the deflection was clearly visible when seen with the naked eye," he said. He looked like he had touched the ball. To be honest, it was the right decision. However, such decisions often go against us. ”

Jaiswal's key partnership

The 88-run partnership between Jaiswal and Rishabh Pant kept India's hopes alive. Both batsmen were playing with restraint in front of a big target. But, after Jaiswal's dismissal, the Indian batting order disintegrated like a house of cards. The last seven wickets fell within just 34 runs, and the Indian team had to face defeat.

Big blow to India

The defeat not only put the Indian team trailing 2-1 in the series but also dealt a blow to their hopes of reaching the final of the World Test Championship.

Rohit also admitted that the team will have to perform better. "We missed chances, and it paid the price. Jaiswal's dismissal was unfortunate but these things do happen in the game. ”

Way Forward

This defeat for India is a time of introspection. Jaiswal's performance has definitely given a new hope, but the team will have to play more organized in the next matches.
