Former captain Sunil Gavaskar revisited the ‘brain fade’ controversy, pointing out that Australia have got almost all their referrals wrong post the row that erupted in the aftermath of the second Test at Bangalore.

At the end of third day’s play in the final Test, Gavaskar pointed to the dismal record of Steve Smith’s men when it comes to reviewing decisions after the ‘brain fade’ episode.

“After the brain fade incident, Australia have used 12 referrals and got just one right. I think they got seven out of 16 spot on before the brain fade controversy. I’m not sure of exact number. But you need to look at this a lot more closely,” Gavaskar told ‘NDTV’.
