    Tendulkar backs BCCI's decision of using DRS

    Master Blaster Sachin Tendulkar has applauded BCCI for introduction of DRS system in India and said that it is a positive step towards betterment of cricket. Tendulkar added that third umpire should be able to intervene if the on-field umpire gives the batsman out but the reply shows that he is not. He said, "DRS is all about getting the decisions right."

    What is the Decision Review System(DRS)?

    The Decision Review System is a technology used to review the controversial decisions of the on-field umpires about the batsman being out or not. The technology was first introduced at the test match between India and Sri Lanka in 2008. DRS made its ODI debut in January 2011 in a match between England and Australia.

    Hawk Eye's LBW DRS and Ultra Edge

    Hawk eye's LBW DRS is used to track the trajectory of the the ball and see whether the ball hits the batsman's pad and then to determine if the ball would have hit the stumps or not. Ultra edge is a technology used in detecting whether a batsman has edged the ball or not using ultra motion cameras and audio from the stump mics.

    ICC made use of DRS 'mandatory'

    During the initial years after DRS was introduced, the International Cricket Council made the use of DRS mandatory in all the matches. However, it was made optional after opposition from various cricketing bodies across the world.

    BCCI against the technology even after world agrees to it

    Unlike the other cricketing boards in the world, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has been against the use of DRS technology since the time it was brought in function. Former test captain MS Dhoni said that the system was imperfect and could not be used. BCCI has not used DRS in most of the bilateral series in India.

    BCCI to use DRS in series against England

    BCCI has decided to make use of full DRS system in the recent series against England. Test captain Virat Kohli has spoken about DRS saying that it was no rocket science and easy to use.
