Indian women’s team skipper Mithali Raj has called for more consistent use of the Decision Review System (DRS) as she believes it will help eliminate mistakes and allow the players to get used to the system.
At the 2017 World Cup, Mithali was the first captain in the women’s game to use DRS and believes the reviews are very important for a captain. “We would love to have DRS because when it comes to big events, we have DRS,” Mithali said on Thursday.
“We need to get a little more experience for the girls to understand the concept of DRS, how and when to take it. We had it in New Zealand, suddenly we don’t have it at home.
“If it is irregular, it gets difficult for the players. It is good in a way, and it also bad also. Some dismissals go your way, but at crucial stages, some dismissals don’t go your way. It’s part of the sport.
“From the perspective of a player, if it’s consistently followed, it will be much better.” However, Mithali herself isn’t very taken up by DRS as she feels that a bad decision is always around the corner. “I have led before DRS also,” she said.
“For me, personally it does not matter because I believe at times you get a caught-behind and just get away with it. And sometimes, you don’t even know but you are given out.
