Indian star survives close call

Yashasvi Jaiswal is an Indian cricketer who plays for Rajasthan Royals in the Indian Premier League (IPL). On September 25, 2021, during a match between Rajasthan Royals and England, Jaiswal was caught behind by English wicketkeeper Jos Buttler. However, the umpire ruled that Jaiswal had not been caught cleanly and gave him not out.

The decision was made after a review of the footage from the third umpire, who determined that the ball had not hit the ground before it reached Buttler's gloves. This meant that Jaiswal was not out on a caught behind appeal.

The decision sparked controversy and disbelief among the English players and fans, as they felt that Jaiswal should have been given out. However, the ruling was upheld by the match officials and Jaiswal went on to score 50 runs in the match, helping Rajasthan Royals win by 19 runs.

It is worth noting that caught behind appeals are a common occurrence in cricket and can be a contentious issue. The decision of the umpire and the third umpire is final and binding, and players must accept the ruling even if they disagree with it.
