Indian star survives close call

Yashasvi Jaiswal is an Indian cricketer who plays for Rajasthan Royals in the Indian Premier League (IPL). On May 15, 2023, during a match between Rajasthan Royals and England, Jaiswal was caught behind by England wicketkeeper Jos Buttler. However, the umpire ruled that Jaiswal had not been caught cleanly and gave him not out.

The decision sparked controversy and disbelief among the English players and fans. The decision was later reviewed by the third umpire, who also upheld the original decision of not out. This was a significant moment in the match as it allowed Rajasthan Royals to continue batting with Jaiswal at the crease.

It is worth noting that the rules of cricket state that a batsman can be given not out if the ball does not hit the wicket or if the wicketkeeper fails to catch the ball cleanly. In this case, it appears that the umpire and third umpire determined that the ball did not hit the wicket and that the wicketkeeper failed to catch the ball cleanly.

Overall, the decision to give Jaiswal not out was a contentious one and sparked debate among cricket fans and experts. However, it is important to remember that the rules of cricket are in place to ensure fairness and consistency in the game, and the decision made by the umpires should be respected.
