Twitter reactions to Dawid Malan catch: Out or not out? | Opinion divided on Twitter regarding the soft signal rule and the Dawid Malan catch
India levelled the T20I series in fine style on Thursday evening, in the first instance of a team successfully defending a score in this five-match encounter.
One of the talking points centred around man-of-the-match Suryakumar Yadav. Yadav’s 31-ball 57 in his first innings for India showed what he is capable of after being snubbed in the past. But, the nature of his dismissal created quite the stir. After flicking a Sam Curran towards fine leg, Dawid Malan sprinted around and took what seemed to be a great catch.
However, replays showed that the ball was awfully close to the ground. The third umpire decided that there was not enough evidence to overturn the soft signal of out, prompting a discussion as to whether this rule allows for the correct decision to be made.
Fans and pundits took to Twitter to express their opinion.
An interesting discussion around the soft signal, particularly for catches in the deep. Should this rule be scrapped? Have your say!
