Vaibhav Suryavanshi's catch in the second over of the Indian innings sparked controversy. The Afghan players protested on the field after the third umpire gave the catch not out.

The crucial tri-series match between India A and Afghanistan A saw both excitement and controversy from the outset. A catch in the second over of the Indian innings erupted into a dramatic exchange with the Afghanistan A players on the field. The incident involved young batsman Vaibhav Suryavanshi , who was declared not out by the third umpire. Afghanistan didn't seem to agree with this decision at all. India had lost the toss and elected to bat first. The controversy erupted in the second over of the innings. Vaibhav Suryavanshi attempted a cut shot towards point off Shams-ur-Rahman. The ball soared in the air that fielder Faridoon, displaying remarkable agility, dived to his left and took a difficult one-handed catch.

At first glance, the catch appeared to be completely legitimate. However, the on-field umpires decided to consult the third umpire rather than give an immediate decision.

The decision came after watching the replays.

The third umpire delivered his decision after reviewing replays from multiple angles. One replay showed that a portion of the ball had touched the grass when Faridoon fell to the ground. Based on this, the third umpire ruled the catch invalid and declared Vaibhav Suryavanshi not out. The Afghanistan A players were stunned when the decision was announced. They believed Faridoon had maintained complete control of the ball and the catch was a clean one.

Players started arguing with the umpires

Following the third umpire's decision, the Afghanistan A players protested on the field. Several players approached the umpires and began questioning the decision. The debate continued on the field for some time. Although play resumed later, the Afghanistan team was clearly upset with the decision.

Vaibhav was also involved in controversies in the Sri Lanka A match.

This isn't the first time Vaibhav Suryavanshi has been involved in controversy in this tri-series. He previously made headlines during the match against Sri Lanka A. After that match, a heated exchange occurred between the Sri Lanka A players and Vaibhav, which escalated into a physical altercation. The incident generated considerable discussion, and the match referee even reviewed the matter.

Hopes increased after receiving life support.

This lifeline in the match against Afghanistan A gave Vaibhav Suryavanshi the opportunity to play a big innings. The Indian team will hope that the young batsman takes full advantage of this opportunity and puts the team in a strong position.

On the other hand, this decision has once again sparked debate about umpiring. Fans on social media were also seen expressing differing opinions. Some supported the third umpire's decision, while many viewers believed that Faridoon's catch was completely legal and Vaibhav should have been given out.
