Sports Desk. The first test match between India and Australia has started in Perth, today is the first day and controversy has arisen on the very first day. The Australian team is being accused of being dishonest with India. The matter is about KL Rahul being caught out in which the third umpire has given a controversial decision.
Indian team captain Jasprit Bumrah won the toss in this match and decided to bat. But the Australian bowlers did not allow the Indian batsmen to get a good start. From the very beginning, the bowlers of the host team maintained pressure on India. But Rahul (KL Rahul) was standing at the other end. He looked to be in good form but a controversial decision ended his innings.
Rahul (KL Rahul) was facing the Australian bowlers well. Pat Cummins gave the ball to Mitchell Starc in the 23rd over. Starc bowled the second ball of the over forward, which Rahul tried to defend. The ball passed from his bat into the hands of wicketkeeper Alex Carey. The entire Australian team appealed, but the umpire did not give out. Australian captain Pat Cummins took the review. When the replay was shown in the review, the gap between the bat and the ball was clearly visible from the back camera angle but still the movement was shown in the snicko meter.
Then the umpire looked through the front camera and realized that the bat and pad had collided. Only one sound came out in the Sniko meter. It was clear from the front camera that the bat and pad had collided, which means there was bound to be some action in Snicko due to its sound. The back camera showed that the ball and bat were far away. Still, if it is assumed that both of them collided, then there should have been two movements in Snicko which did not happen. Still the umpire gave Rahul out.
