In a tense moment during Day 5 of the fourth Border-Gavaskar Test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG), Yashasvi Jaiswal found himself embroiled in a heated exchange with the umpires following a controversial Decision Review System (DRS) ruling. The Indian opener, who had been standing firm amidst falling wickets, was controversially given out during the final session, sparking widespread debate.

Chasing a target of 340, Jaiswal was in fine form, anchoring India's innings with a resilient 84 runs. However, his stay at the crease came to a dramatic end in the 71st over. Facing Australian captain Pat Cummins, Jaiswal attempted to pull a short ball down the leg side but missed it entirely, or so it seemed. The Australian players made a loud appeal, but on-field umpire Joel Wilson ruled it not out.

Convinced of a deflection, Cummins reviewed the decision. Despite the snickometer showing no spike, the third umpire saw a visible deflection and overturned the on-field decision, ruling Jaiswal out. The Indian batter was visibly upset by the decision and voiced his frustration to the on-field umpires before heading back to the pavilion.

The dismissal caused a stir, with commentators and fans questioning the validity of the decision. Speaking on Channel 7, former umpire Simon Taufel defended the third umpire’s decision, explaining that the visible deflection took precedence over the lack of audio evidence. "The third umpire made the right call based on the clear deflection," Taufel said. "When the technology shows a visual deviation, that's often conclusive enough."
