The Decision Review System (DRS) has been jokingly dubbed the “Dhoni Review System” on social media due to MS Dhoni’s extraordinary judgment in determining when to refer an on-field decision to the TV umpire. While acknowledging that reaching 100% accuracy in DRS calls is unachievable, MS Dhoni comes surprisingly close to achieving this benchmark.
This is an extremely accurate skill that he has developed through experience and the confidence of others around him. In one famous example, Anil Chaudhary miscalled Yuvraj Singh out caught-behind in an international match. Dhoni then asked the all-rounder to review the call, which led to the call being reversed because the ball was a bump ball.
Anil Chaudhary is an experienced official who has officiated multiple international games. According to Chaudhary, wicketkeepers have an unmatched viewpoint that allows them to analyze the nuances of the game and make well-informed decisions.
Rishabh Pant has also significantly improved from his previous days. It all comes down to experience; after watching the replays, you evaluate your calls again. The wicketkeeper is in the ideal position to watch because they are motionless and can track the path of the ball. In reality, because wicketkeepers follow the ball, the top umpires occasionally base their rulings on their movements,” the man stated.
