"It was not out": Fans blast umpire after Salman Agha's controversial catch to dismiss Suryakumar Yadav in Asia Cup final
Table of Contents
Pakistan skipper Salman Agha pulled off a controversial catch as he leaped onto a dipping ball after Suryakumar lofted a slower ball from seasoned pacer Shaheen Afridi. The Third umpire, however, ruled him out, giving the decision in favour of the Pakistanis.
In their attempt to chase the target of 147 for India, the openers Abhishek Sharma and Shubman Gill lost their wickets early. While Suryakumar Yadav, the Indian skipper, stepped in, he was also dismissed in no time.
Salman Agha grabs one out of thin air to dismiss the Indian skipper
Indian batter Suryakumar Yadav was already seen struggling on another occasion. After the early dismissal of Abhishek Sharma, the Indian skipper was on 1 off 2 balls and missed a low full toss in the first two balls of the 3rd over of the game.
In the third ball of the over, when the skipper tried to loft one delivery over the mid-off fielder, Shaheen Afridi's slower ball was looped towards Salman Agha. Agha too lunged forward as he did not catch it cleanly.
Instead, he performed a juggling act and then tumbled over with the ball. Though major doubts were raised over the completion of the catch, the third umpire agreed to their decision.

Suryakumar Yadav's disgusting form continues in the Asia Cup
The Indian skipper has been in very bad form in this edition of the Asia Cup. After having made a decent 47* in a very low-scoring game against Pakistan, Surya has failed miserably with the bat.
He went on to score 72 runs in 6 innings and 7 games, and has averaged just 12. The batter has lost his fine touch, while Tilak Varma and Sanju Samson are known at the centre to chase the remainder of the total.
Yadav has averaged less than 25 as the skipper of the Indian team and has not scored a single half-century over the last 10+ international innings.
