Washington Sundar looked good with the bat but his stay at the crease was cut short by a controversial dismissal. The all-rounder from the Indian national cricket team, who was dropped by Australian national cricket team captain Pat Cummins, had no intention of playing in the DRS initially.
Pat Cummins bowls a short ball that angles down the leg side. Washington Sundar tried to pull the ball but failed. Alex Carey, behind the stumps, called for a catch and convinced the skipper to accept DRS, but the skipper didn't seem confident at first.
A third umpire checked the decision and there was a tiny spike as the ball approached the glove. But TV referee Joel Wilson said there was a chip in the bottom of the glove. Afterwards, he asked for a sideways replay, then a slow-motion replay.
However, he could not get accurate information and said: “The ball was very close to the glove and I couldn't distinguish any gap between the glove and the ball, and there was a spike and the ball was closer to the glove.” Subsequently, the on-field referee Ordered to reverse the decision, Washington Sundar had to retreat.
However, Washington Sundar looked extremely frustrated by the manner in which he was released. He was visibly upset and walked with his head down.
