Was Suryakumar Yadav OUT or NOT?

While playing in his first international innings, Suryakumar launched Jofra Archer for an incredible six to kickstart his T20I career. Yadav never looked like playing his first international game as he absolutely wrecked havoc during his outstanding innings of 57 runs off just 31 balls that included 6 fours and 3 sixes. However, the right-handed Mumbai batsman was forced to walk back to the pavilion in the result of a controversial call made by the third umpire following a catch claimed by Dawid Malan.

In the previous delivery to his dismissal, Suryakumar smashed Sam Curran for an extraordinary six through a paddle sweep. And on the next ball, he once again went in with the same shot but due to a change in the field, Malan claimed a controversial catch near the boundary line. The on-field umpire reckoned that it was a clean catch and thus, his soft signal went in England’s favour. However, during the replays, the third umpire could not obtain any conclusive evidence to overturn the decision.
