Overview
- During the 13th over against UAE, Sanju Samson's underarm throw caught Junaid Siddique outside his crease, the third umpire gave it out, and Suryakumar Yadav then withdrew the appeal after replays and reports of a towel distraction from Shivam Dube.
- Siddique resumed his innings but was dismissed later in the same over for a three-ball duck.
- Ajinkya Rahane lauded the recall, calling it the right call and praising the team’s sportsmanship.
- Aakash Chopra criticized the move, warning that invoking ethics raises questions about consistency and suggesting the reaction might differ against Pakistan.
- The episode has become a talking point ahead of India’s Asia Cup fixture versus Pakistan on September 14 in Dubai.
