DRS is Umpire Decision Review System. It is a technology which is used in modern day cricket. In this if the batsman is given out by the on-field umpire he can review the decision to the third umpire to check whether the he was out or not. It was first launched in Test cricket by ICC (International Cricket Council) on 24 November 2009. Later it was used in an ODI in January 2011. At the outset it was mandatory in all international matches but later it was no longer required. To the mutual understanding of both teams only then DRS has come into use.
The BCCI (Board Of Control For Cricket In India) and likes of Sachin Tendulkar, M.S Dhoni are against the use of DRS in Cricket. Sachin stated few lines on DRS that he wasn't against the DRS but he feels it will be more effective with hotspot and snickometer technology. It will make you more consistent results. M.S. Dhoni stated on DRS that adulteration of something is quite bad whether it is natural or technology.
India Vs West Indies 2013 Test series. In the first Test
when Sachin Tendulkar was dismissed LBW by Shillingford who flighted the Doosra,
Tendulkar tried to defend from his crease and the ball hit the back leg quite
high. The impact was too high, the ball would have gone over the top, but
umpire Nigel Llong did not think so he gave Tendulkar out. If DRS is used here
Sachin wouldn't be given out.
