Australia defeated India by 184 runs in the fourth Test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, taking a 2-1 lead in the five-match series. However, the game’s talking point was the controversial dismissal of Indian opener Yashasvi Jaiswal, which sparked a heated debate.

Pat Cummins’ Allegations Against Jaiswal

During the post-match press conference, Australian captain Pat Cummins accused Jaiswal of dishonesty. He claimed that Jaiswal knew he had edged the ball but pretended otherwise after the Snickometer failed to show any spike.

Speaking about the incident, Cummins said, “If I’m a body reader, I’m saying he definitely knew he hit it and then once there was nothing on ultra-edge, he changed his mind.”

The controversy arose when Jaiswal, who was batting on 84, was given out caught behind despite the Snickometer showing no evidence of an edge. The third umpire overturned the on-field decision, leading to Jaiswal’s dismissal.

Jaiswal’s Contributions in the Series

Yashasvi Jaiswal has been India’s top performer with the bat in the ongoing series, scoring 359 runs so far. In the Melbourne Test, he scored half-centuries in both innings and was the backbone of India’s batting. Despite his efforts, India failed to save the match, putting them in a do-or-die situation for the final Test.

Final Test at Sydney Crucial for India

With the series now at 2-1, India must win the final Test at the Sydney Cricket Ground to keep their World Test Championship (WTC) hopes alive. South Africa has already secured one spot in the WTC final, leaving India with no choice but to win the last match to stay in contention.
