"Juthe Log": Rohit Sharma And Co. Blasted By Ex-India Star On Yashasvi Jaiswal DRS Row

Former India wicketkeeper-batter Surinder Khanna lashed out at India's approach in the fourth Test against Australia and called for 'fair play' from the visiting side following their 184-run defeat at Melbourne Cricket Ground on Monday. Chasing 340 on the final day of the match, Indian batters once again faltered against Australia's bowling attack as the hosts took 2-1 lead in the five-Test Border-Gavaskar Trophy series.

During India's chase, India opener Yashasvi Jaiswal's dismissal became the hot topic of debate after third umpire Sharfuddoula Saikat overturned on-field umpire Joel Wilson's decision without any conclusive evidence. Despite no disturbance on the Snickometer when the ball hit Jaiswal's gloves, the video evidence, however, showed some deflection based on which third umpire made his decision.

The decision was not taken well by the Indian camp and also by former players as they criticised the technology for not fulfilling the purpose completely.

Meanwhile, Khanna had a different take on that and suggested 'there's no point in making controversy'. He advised Rohit Sharma-led team to play fair cricket first to change the result of the match.

"There is no point in making controversy, they've shown it from four angles that the ball hit the gloves and its pace also decreased before Alex Carey caught it behind the stumps. Akash Deep also complained of a similar thing when he was caught out. 'Juthe log hai yeh (they are all liars)', you have to play fair wicket first then only you'll start winning. When the bat is in your hand, how can you not know about edging the ball? We have played bad and we have lost. What kind of batting they're doing? Come the IPL, these players will hit runs. Don't play over-aggressive
