India’s defeat was certain as soon as Yashasvi Jaiswal was given out by the third umpire on the last day of the fourth Test against Australia. At that time there were approximately 21 overs left in the match. In the rhythm Yashasvi was in, it did not seem at all that India would lose this match. There was confidence that this Mumbai batsman would draw the match. But by changing the decision of on-field umpire Joel Wilson, Sharafuddaula also changed the fate of the match. That too without solid evidence. Sunil Gavaskar clearly said that for him/her Yashasvi is not out because the third umpire had no evidence to overturn the on-field umpire’s decision.
