BGT 2024-25: Bunch of liars in Indian team! Find how Ex-player hits over MCG controversies
Xtra Time Web Desk: Former cricketer Surinder Khanna has called out Team India claiming Rohit Sharma's team is filled with bunch of liars after their heavy loss against Australia in the Boxing Day Test match at the MCG.
A lot of discussions are going on in related to Yashasvi Jaiswal's controversial dismissal. The incident occured in the 71st over of the match when Jaiswal was batting at 94. The left-hander miscued his pull shot as he got a casual connection with the bat smashing the ball to the leg side of wicketkeeper Alex Carey, seemingly touching the glove of the batter. Carey completed a good catch on his wrong side and appealed to the umpire.
Many experts have exchanged words now Delhi wicketkeeper Surinder Khanna came into the debate. On-field umpire Joel Wilson was not convinced by the appeal and judged Jaiswal not out. The Aussie Captain was seemingly unsatisfied as he went upstairs for reviewing the decision.

Although the DRS caught that there was no spike when the ball went past the batter but third umpire Sharfuddoula Saikat overturned the decision giving it out to Jaiswal. Talking about it, Khanna stated " 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’ (These people are liars), you have to play fair first then only you’ll start winning."
He further added, “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 T20 cricket and play positively. Let’s hope that the luck changes in the New Year (for the Indian team),”
