MELBOURNE: Things may well have turned out differently for India if opener Yashasvi Jaiswal, who was carrying the team's hopes and batting on a well-made 84, not been given out in contentious circumstances by TV umpire Sharfuddoula Saikat.
Jaiswal, after having blunted Australia's attack through the middle session along with Rishabh Pant - cutting fiercely, defending solidly and riding his luck, to an extent - saw his attempt at hooking a short ball from Australia captain Pat Cummins land in wicketkeeper Alex Carey's gloves.
