Indian star survives close call

Yashasvi Jaiswal is an Indian cricketer who plays for Rajasthan Royals in the Indian Premier League (IPL). On April 10, 2023, 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. Some on social media accused the umpire of bias or incompetence, while others defended the decision as a fair one based on the rules of cricket.

It is worth noting that the rules of cricket state that for a batsman to be caught behind, the ball must have hit the wicketkeeper's gloves and then hit the batsman's body above the waist. In this case, it is unclear whether the ball hit Jaiswal's body before or after hitting the wicketkeeper's gloves.

The decision also highlights the importance of clear communication between the umpires and the players in cricket. It is crucial that all parties involved understand the rules and are able to make decisions based on those rules, rather than speculation or personal bias.
