The English players celebrated wildly on Day 2 of the fourth Test match against India. Still, the third umpire ruled that Yashasvi Jaiswal was not out, which infuriated the England team’s sense of sportsmanship. Ben Stokes, the captain of England, received criticism for his actions after someone brought up a specific incident involving Rohit Sharma that same day.

It happened on Saturday in Ranchi during the second session. Ben Foakes, the wicketkeeper, dove forward to collect the ball as it moved towards him after Ollie Robinson angled over a length delivery that Jaiswal unnecessarily pushed to create an outside edge.

As they started to celebrate, players like Joe Root and Stokes were clear about the dismissal, even though Foakes was unsure. They had seen the replay first. As it was sent upstairs, Jaiswal awaited the ultimate decision in the interim. The England players were astonished when third umpire Joe Wilson repeatedly viewed the footage and concluded that the ball had bounced into Foakes’ gloves.

Fans were offended by the England players’ response on social media because it brought back memories of Rohit’s “spirit of game” behavior from Day 2. The captain of India had dismissed Joe Root with a catch at slip, but he was not convinced about it and asked the on-field umpire to referee it upstairs. Once more, Wilson determined that the ball had rebounded into his hand.
