Former Indian opener Sunil Gavaskar slammed the third umpire over Yashasvi Jaiswal's controversial dismissal on day five of the fourth Test against Australia in Melbourne. Gavaskar strongly protested the third umpire's call, claiming that the deflection could have been a mere optical illusion.

While on commentary for Star Sports, Sunil Gavaskar slammed the umpire for not depending on technology like the snick-o-meter for making the decision of dismissing Yashasvi Jaiswal. He even said that the ball changing its trajectory is nothing but an optical illusion.

Sunil Gavaskar feels that the ball swung rather than hit Yashasvi Jaiswal's bat before going into wicketkeeper Alex Carey's gloves.
