BCCI decides it would use the review system on a trial basis to experiment improvements made to the technology after having refused to allow its use in any bilateral series involving its test team in the past. The change comes after a detailed and successful presentation by ICC DRS representatives on the improved version of the system, backed by ICC Chairman and Indian coach Anil Kumble.
Four years of wait and finally BCCI has softened its stand on the popular Umpire’s Decision Review System (DRS) as they used the system in the first test of the five-Test series against visitors England. This has also marked the debut of the much-debated DRS in the Indian subcontinent. Although India have previously played under DRS away from home (in England and Sri Lanka), this is the first time India have played under the system at home, if one leaves aside ICC Cricket World Cup 2011.
The reason behind giving the green signal to DRS might be the numerous high-profile umpiring errors during India's recent home series against New Zealand, which has have helped change minds of senior BCCI officials. It is also noted that Virat Kohli, following the retirement of Sachin Tendulkar, has publicly stated his openness to adopting DRS.
