Pat Cummins’ Perspective
On the contrary, Australian captain Cummins defended the third umpire’s decision, stating that Jaiswal dropped his head after hitting the ball. “Oh, look, I think it was clear that he got it right. We heard a noise, saw a deflection, so it was absolutely certain that he was right.

“Ultra-edge… I don’t think anyone has full confidence in him and he didn’t really show much, but fortunately there is enough evidence to show that he was clearly exposed.” he added.
Jaiswal’s dismissal proved pivotal as India struggled to bounce back after losing their top-order batsman. After Jaiswal’s departure, India collapsed from 140 for 6 to 155 all out, resulting in a 184-run defeat and give Australia a 2-1 lead in the five-match series.
