New Delhi, Dec 30: BCCI vice president Rajeev Shukla on Monday slammed third umpire Saikat Sharfuddoula for Yashasvi Jaiswal’s contentious dismissal on the final day of the Boxing Day Test against Australia in Melbourne, saying the India opener was “clearly not out”.Jaiswal was batting on 84 when Australia skipper Pat Cummins’ down-the-leg snorter cramped him for room while attempting a hook, and the home side went up instantaneously in appeal for a caught behind as Alex Carey completed a tumbling take.The on-field umpire Joel Wilson didn’t relent as the Australians resorted to DRS and third umpire Sharfuddoula ruled Jaiswal out, despite no edge being registered on the Snicko, basing his decision on the available evidence of visual deflection.Yashasvi Jaiswal was clearly not out. Third umpire should have taken note of what technology was suggesting.
