Sunil Gavaskar faced backlash after calling Yashasvi Jaiswal’s controversial dismissal in the fourth India-Australia Test an "optical illusion." Jaiswal, batting on 84, was dismissed by Pat Cummins after the third umpire overturned the on-field call, citing a deflection off the glove despite no Snicko spike. Speaking for Channel 7, Gavaskar questioned the reliability of technology, sparking criticism on social media, where fans termed his remarks "ridiculous" and "embarrassing." Warren Brennan, of Snicko's operator BBG Sports, clarified the absence of noise was due to a glance-shot. The dismissal proved pivotal as Australia clinched the match, taking a 2-1 series lead.
