A huge controversy has erupted on the fifth day of the fourth test of the Border Gavaskar series as Yashasvi Jaiswal was given out in a controversial manner by the third umpire. Pat Cummins bowled a bouncer to Yashasvi Jaiswal which the Indian youngster tried to pull. The ball travelled closely by Jaiswal’s bat and gloves to which the home team player appealed. The decision given by the on-field umpire was not out but the Aussies appealed the decision. 

As the third umpire reviewed the decision, Snick-O technology was put to use which showed no clear spike as the ball passed Jaiswal. Despite this the young Indian batter was given out as he neared a century.
