The 4th Test match day 5 of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy has seen some of the controversial moments where Yashasvi Jaiswal’s dismissal sparked a debate. Despite no spike being recorded on the Snicko meter, Jaiswal was given out after the third umpire ruled there was a deflection. He was dismissed for 84, facing 208 balls with eight boundaries, contributing to India’s total score of 143/7 in their chase. Pat Cummins claimed three wickets, dismissing Jaiswal, Rohit Sharma (9), and KL Rahul (0).
Other key dismissals included Virat Kohli (5) caught by Khawaja off Starc, Rishabh Pant (30) caught behind by Marsh off Head, Ravindra Jadeja (2) caught behind off Boland, Nitish Kumar Reddy (1) caught off Lyon, and Washington Sundar (2) and Akash Deep (3) were not out. India’s batting collapsed, leaving them at 143/7 in 73.4 overs, still needing 198 runs to win.
Australia’s bowlers kept the pressure on India, with Mitchell Starc’s 8 overs conceding just 25 runs for one wicket, Pat Cummins taking 3 wickets for 23 runs in 17 overs, and Scott Boland claiming 1 wicket for 39 runs in 14 overs. Nathan Lyon also contributed with 1 wicket for 35 runs. The match has reached a critical point with India fighting to stay in the game.
