Rohit Sharma on Yashasvi Jaiswal's dismissal: Rohit Sharma said- there was something near Yashasvi's bat
The Indian and Australian cricket legends were adamant about coming face to face in the Melbourne Test, but after the match, the Indian captain Rohit Sharma himself gave the answer to it. The picture we are talking about is related to Yashasvi Jaiswal's wicket. There was a ruckus about Jaiswal's wicket in the second innings. Questions were raised on the umpire's decision. Indian cricket legends like Gavaskar, and Manjrekar said that the decision was completely wrong. Whereas Australian cricket pundits like Ponting, and Katich were seen in favor of the decision. Anyway, now Rohit Sharma has put a balm on the controversy that is gaining momentum with his statement.
What did Rohit say when Yashasvi was out?
Just know what Rohit Sharma said on Yashasvi Jaiswal's wicket. He said that nothing was visible in the technology. But, with open eyes, it seemed that something had hit the bat. I don't know what the umpire was thinking. The ball had touched. Now we don't want to go into the depth of that matter.
"I can see the ball has made contact with the gloves. Joel, you need to change your decision."

Why and how did the uproar over Yashasvi Jaiswal's wicket arise?
In the second innings of the Melbourne Test, Yashasvi Jaiswal's wicket fell in the 71st over of India's innings. When Yashasvi was playing after scoring 84 runs on 208 balls, Cummins threw a short ball on the leg side. Yashasvi tried to play a big shot on it but the ball did not hit his bat and went into the hands of the wicketkeeper. Field umpire Joel Wilson did not give him out. In such a situation, Australia took a review.
Bangladesh's Sharfuddaula, who was playing the role of third umpire, took the help of technology, but no movement was seen in the snickometer either. Usually, when this happens, the batsman is declared not out. But Sharfuddaula saw the video replay from many angles and after seeing the deflection in it, gave the decision to give out.
