On day 2 at Adelaide, Australian all-rounder Mitchell Marsh bizarrely left to Ravichandran Ashwin after getting out to a caught behind appeal. The replay that was shown after Marsh's departure showed a clear gap between the bat and the ball. Before leaving the field, Marsh had some discussions with his batting partner, Travis Head, asking if he should go for a review or not, but finally decided to walk out. However, Marsh finally reveals the reason behind his departure. Prior to the third Test in Gabba, Marsh says on a funny note how his dismissal made his teammates break into laughter. Well, he said that he was sure he "smashed" the ball. But when the replay was shown, he had his hands on his head. In the pre-match press conference, Marsh said, “The reality is I thought I hit it, and I didn’t ... I had a `mare’. When I got to the change-rooms, they asked if I hit it and I said `yeah I smashed it’. Then the replay came up and my head went into the hands, and about one minute later everyone else was laughing at me."

The third umpire upheld the on-field decision due to insufficient evidence. Ashwin bowled a full-length delivery that struck Marsh’s pad, prompting India to review. The snickometer detected two spikes—one as the ball hit the pad and another near the bat—leaving the third umpire "unsure" and sticking with the on-field call. Though Marsh would still have been not out due to the “umpire’s call” on impact, the incident sparked debate over technology and judgment. The umpire avoided examining additional angles despite multiple cameras, leaving uncertainty about whether the ball hit the bat or pad first. A visible spike as the ball kissed the pad and another near the bat added to the confusion, frustrating players and fans alike. Even Virat Kohli was seen in animated discussions with the on-field umpire.
