Suryakumar Yadav was extremely unlucky as he was given out when to the naked eye it seemed the ball had touched the grass. The classy right-hander was batting look easy and was looking ominous in the fourth T20I against England. Suryakumar Yadav smashed a brilliant half-century and was leading the charge for India with the bat. Then against the run of play, he attempted a scoop shot with a fielder at deep fine immediately after reaching his fifty.
The bowler Sam Curran saw Suryakumar Yadav going down on one knee and bowled a slower delivery. Suryakumar Yadav wasn’t able to nail to scoop shot and the ball went fielder Dawid Malan who dived in front to complete the catch. Malan after completing it claimed the catch and the on-field umpires gave a soft signal of out before going to the third umpire.
Twitter Lashes At Umpiring After Suryakumar Yadav Is Given Out
The replays suggested that the ball might have bounced which became more prominent after every replay. However, after no clear evidence, the third umpire gave it out just on the bases of the soft signal. Fans on Twitter were furious as the replays clearly indicated that the Suryakumar Yadav should be not out as the ball clearly bounced.

Personally, and do bear in mind that as a bowler I thought everything was out, I think that was a stinking decision.

The only way that was out is when
1/2 of Malan's fingers > 1/2 of Malan's fingers + length of Malan's palm
