“Umpire first gave him not out. The fielding aspect took a referral. Within the referral, there’s a snickometer, and as per Sunil Gavaskar, there is no such thing as a deflection in it however should you go by the bare eye, there’s a distinction of 15 to 17 levels. After hitting the gloves, the ball turned gradual, and wicketkeeper Alex Carey needed to dive ahead to take the catch. The sq. leg umpire was doubting whether or not the catch was taken cleanly or not. Technically, in snickometer, there was no deflection, however should you go by me, since I used to be a keeper, I’ll say it hit his gloves,” he mentioned.

He’s saying he didn’t edge it, but it surely was clear that he gloved it. Gavaskar is saying that snickometer will not be exhibiting any deflection, then it isn’t out. He himself by no means walked away when he used to nick it. I requested him as soon as that I’ve caught you 15 occasions behind the stumps, however you had been solely given out 4 occasions. What in regards to the different 11 occasions? He used to chuckle and say once I was not out, umpires did give me out a number of occasions. So, that is why I by no means walked away. Is that this a solution? This isn’t the precise factor.”

He goes on to attain a century, and the bowler will get kicked out of the workforce. While you get a batter of Gavaskar’s standing, he’ll get 4-5 extra wickets. Equally, should you get Jaiswal out, the remaining are already out of shape. So, one determination can play a serious position however once more, should you go by technicality, then Sunny bhai is right, however what about that vast deflection?”

He continued, “The subsequent batter who got here and obtained a bat pad, even he didn’t agree and was saying that the ball goes up. I can see it clearly as a result of I’ve been a wicketkeeper. The boy knew that the glove hit the ball. He’s dishonest.”

Khanna additionally praised the Australian workforce for his or her efficiency, whereas critiquing India’s fielding, “Australians performed excellent cricket. We needed to bat out a day, about 77 overs or 80-odd overs, however we could not. The openers and prime orders set the tone. Once I began watching, it was the thirtieth over, and by the thirtieth over, it was 29 runs.”

Reflecting on missed alternatives, he famous, “Australians had been let off the hook after they had been 60/6. They need to have been dismissed for 80-85, however the catches that had been dropped price us. Three had been dropped by Jaiswal alone. Easy possibilities. You can’t drop such catches, and we paid badly for it.”
