Yashasvi Jaiswal's contentious dismissal on Monday might have sparked an uproar, but Indian skipper Rohit Sharma attempted to douse the fire stating that the left-hander "did touch the ball" while slipping in a terse reminder that his team often falls on the wrong side of such close calls involving technology.

Jaiswal was batting on 84 when Aussie skipper Pat Cummins' down-the-leg snorter cramped him for room while attempting a hook, and the home side went up instantaneously in appeal for a caught behind as Alex Carey completed a tumbling take. On-field umpire Joel Wilson didn't relent as the Aussies resorted to DRS and third umpire Saikat Sharfuddoula ruled Jaiswal out despite no edge being registered on the Snicko, basing his decision on the available visual deflection evidence.

"I don't know what to make of it because the technology didn't show anything but with naked eye it seemed like he did touch something," Rohit said. "I don't know how the umpires want to use the technology but in all fairness I think he did touch the ball," he added. "It's about the technology which we all know is not a 100 per cent. But again we don't really want to look too much into that," Rohit said. "It's just that we are more often than not falling on the wrong side of it. It's been happening, so we have been a bit unfortunate," he added.

Sunil Gavaskar did not accept the decision of the third umpire. "The defection can be an optical illusion. Why have you kept technology? If there is technology, one should use it. You cannot make a decision based on what you see and ignore the technology," Gavaskar said.

Simon Taufel, himself a distinguished umpire once, said the third umpire made the right decision. "In my view the decision was out. The third umpire did make the correct decision in the end," former ICC Elite Panel umpire Taufel said.

"With the technology protocols, we do have a hierarchy of redundancy and when the umpire sees a clear deflection off the bat there is no need to go any further and use any other form of technology to prove the case," he added.

Cummins said it's tough to repose full "confidence" on ultra-edge technology. "I think it was just clear that he hit it. We heard a noise, saw a deviation, so it was absolutely certain that he hit it. As soon as we referred it, you could see him drop his head and basically acknowledge that he hit it. On the screen you can see he hit it," Cummins said. "Ultra-edge… I don't think anyone has complete confidence in it and didn't really show much but fortunately there's enough other evidence to show it was clearly out," he added.
