Speaking at the India Today Conclave, batting nice Sachin Tendulkar expressed his disappointment over the umpire’s name within the present DRS format.

Then why are they going again to the choice of the on-field umpire? For those who’ve determined to go that route (with know-how), then go that route. However what we’re attempting to do is mixing each issues and I disagree,” mentioned Tendulkar.
Tendulkar additional shared his views on the identical, saying that he would’ve liked taking DRS throughout his enjoying days.
“Fairly just a few, I could not rely them on my fingers for positive (when requested what number of instances he would’ve referred to DRS if it existed throughout his enjoying days). I might have liked it, with none doubt. Some selections go in your favour, some go in opposition to you as nicely,” he added.
Tendulkar additional urged that similar to people, know-how too is not infallible, including that the umpires had been making large blunders even earlier than the introduction of the DRS.
“We’re solely pointing fingers at know-how, nevertheless it’s not fool-proof and so are people. Earlier than DRS, there have been blatant errors made and due to these errors and since a 3rd individual was deciding the destiny, matches had been both misplaced or received,” he signed off.
