The Unseen Ball: Cricket's Blind Spot for Controversy The contentious catch made by India's Dhruv Jurel in the Galle Test against Sri Lanka has sparked controversy, but upon reviewing the replayed footage, it's clear that we're witnessing a familiar pattern.
Even with high speed cameras and 360 degree replays, cricket officials continue to grapple with what constitutes a clean catch.
The incident occurred when Jurel took a seemingly straightforward catch off Manav Suthar's bowling, but as he leapt into the air, doubts arose about whether the ball made contact with his hands or the ground first.
