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 sparked controversy and disbelief among the English players and fans. The decision was later reversed after a review by the third umpire, who deemed that Jaiswal had indeed been caught behind. This led to England's frustration and ultimately their defeat in the match.

It is worth noting that the rules of cricket state that a batsman can be given out if the ball hits the wicketkeeper's gloves while the batsman is attempting to play or avoid the ball. However, there are certain conditions that must be met for this to happen, such as the ball being in flight and the wicketkeeper having a clear view of the ball. In this case, it appears that the umpire may have missed these conditions and incorrectly ruled Jaiswal not out.
