Former Australian captain Mark Taylor has defended the decision-making of third umpire Sharfuddoula during the controversial dismissal of Indian batter Yashasvi Jaiswal on the final day of the Boxing Day Test in Melbourne. The incident, which played a crucial role in Australia’s 184-run victory, has sparked heated debate, with many in the Indian camp expressing displeasure.
Jaiswal was caught behind off a short delivery from Pat Cummins while attempting a hook shot. On-field umpire Joel Wilson gave the decision as not out, prompting Australia to review. Although Snicko did not detect an edge, the third umpire overturned the on-field decision, citing visual evidence of a deviation in the ball's trajectory.
