"Poor Decision": Yuvraj Singh Lashes Out At Controversial Run-Out Of Pooja Vastrakar In Women's Asia Cup

Pooja Vastrakar had an unfortunate outing with the bat on Saturday as the player was adjudged run-out by the third umpire in what was a tight call. It happened on the penultimate ball of the Indian innings during their Asia Cup match against Sri Lanka. Pooja drove the ball on the off-side and decided to run a double.
