Soft signal for a catch outside 30 yard circle? If umpires have such great eyes, then their eyes should be used for research purposes. Suryakumar Yadav was on receiving end of a rough soft signal on Sam Curran's bowling when a close catch was ruled out, which looked very doubtful on replays.

That was not out!

Suryakumar Yadav, you Beauty .❤️🇮🇳

There was only one way to get him out. That's what they did. 👎

It was not conclusive!

If it was not conclusive, it had to be gone in a batsman favour as per benefit of doubt rule.

Is there something in the ground there? What do you think?🤔

It was clearly touching the ground...David Malan reaction to the catch was unpredicted🥺

Bad decision!

You don't need be american to cant understand why we have DRS & 3rd Umpire in Cricket if technology & 3rd Umpire final decision still depend on field umpire decision, funny no ?

Unlucky!!

got unlucky after a fine innings. what kind of umpires are you hiring.

They can't even see the gap between the hands and ball on the ground.

Worst Umpire!

This soft signal garbage must go. Any Tom, Dick and Binod can clearly see that Malan has let the ball go out of his hand. How can the on-field umpire possibly see that in real-time? Suryakumar robbed.
