This incident happened on Day 2 of the IND A vs AUS A 2nd Unofficial Test when Tanush Kotian had come round the wicket. Marcus Harris, who was on strike, attempted to play it on the on-side when the ball spun sharply and went into the hands of first slip. After the catch was taken, the India A players were pretty confident that was it out but slowly, their joy turned into shock as the umpire did not rule it as a dismissal. Cricket Australia shared the video on social media which showed the ball going away from the bat but it wasn't very clear if it had edged the bat or hit the pad on the way to first slip. Hence the controversy. Even the commentator on air said that there was a 'genuine edge'. Tanush Kotian later took to Instagram to share the video of this incident and called it 'horrible.' Video Emerges Of Ishan Kishan's Heated Argument With Umpire During India A vs Australia A 1st Unofficial Test 2024, Star Wicketkeeper Heard Saying 'That's A Very Stupid Decision' On Stump Mic.

Stuart Broad, Aakash Chopra React to Controversial Moment

Stuart Broad took to Instagram and commented on the video stating, "I’d have walked for that." The same sentiment was echoed by former cricketer-turned-commentator Aakash Chopra as well. Marcus Harris, who was then batting on 48, went on to score 74 runs with five fours to his name. India A finished Day 2 of the 2nd Unofficial Test with a slender 11-run lead having been reduced to 73/5 with Dhruv Jurel (19*) and Nitish Kumar Reddy (9*) in the middle.
