The powerful Indian cricket governing body is fuming at one dismissal which led to Australia's epic MCG victory in the fourth Test on Monday.
A vice president of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has hit out at the third umpire for giving Yashavi Jaiswal out – even though most viewers could see the young batter clearly hit the ball on its way through to Aussie wicketkeeper Alex Carey.
Jaiswal was the key wicket as India desperately tried to hang on for a draw in Melbourne, which would have left the Border-Gavaskar series at 1-1 heading to the decisive match in Sydney.

Instead a Pat Cummins short ball was edged by Jaiswal and it was caught by Carey.
The wicket seemed obvious to almost everyone except umpire Joel Wilson, who did not give him out.

Cummins reviewed the decision immediately and third umpire Sharfadoullah correctly ordered Jaiswal off the field, before India collapsed to defeat shortly after.
The contentious moment came when Snicko – technology which detects sound to suggest whether the ball has hit a bat or not – showed no spike.
Snicko's creator BBG Sports explained why no spike showed up even though Jaiswal clearly edged the ball.
"That was one of the glance shots where there isn't any noise so Snicko shows nothing, only ambient noise," Warren Brennan told News Corp after the incident.
"I checked with the audio director and he said there was no noise either. Probably only Hot Spot could have resolved that one."
Hot Spot is not in use this summer because broadcast partners Fox Sports opted to ditch it.
Therefor Sharfadoullah's decision was based purely on what the naked eye could see – which seemed obvious to most viewers, but angered a number of Indians.

BCCI vice-president Rajeev Shukla took to social media to lambast the decision.
"(Jaiswal) was clearly not out. Third umpire should have taken note of what technology was suggesting. While over ruling field umpire third umpire should have solid reasons," Shukla wrote.
But while Shukla was part of a typical swarm of Indian fans who blew up on social media, the team's captain admitted Jaiswal did edge the ball.
Rohit Sharma's view was shared by Aussie cricket great Mark Taylor, who could not understand why the decision was controversial at all.
"Things like Snicko, and all the technology, are not 100 per cent, and everyone knows that," Taylor told Nine's Today.
"Particularly Snicko when you've got a stump mic, which is in the base of the stumps, and you've got a batter who edges the ball some two metres away up above his head… you may or may not hear that through the stump microphone.
"To me there is no controversy. You can see from that replay he clearly edges the ball, there is a clear deviation.
"There is no controversy here. The people who find controversy, are looking for controversy.
"Australia took 10 genuine wickets yesterday and thoroughly deserved the win."
