Suryakumar Yadav also referred to as 'SKY' who came to bat at number 3 in the fourth and decisive T20I against England was controversially dismissed in the 14th over by Sam Curran. Virender Sehwag, Vikrant Massey, and many others immediately took to their Twitter handle to lash out at the third umpire's decision.
The third umpire after multiple checks retained the decision of Suryakumar being 'OUT' as he didn't have anything 'conclusive' but according to the replays, the ball touched the grass. SKY was batting at 57 off 31 balls.
