DRS TO BE USED IN IPL

MUMBAI: The Decision Review System, already used in the Twenty Internationals, will be introduced at the upcoming edition of the cash-rich Indian Premier League.

“Yes, this idea has been going around for many years,” said IPL chairman Rajeev Shukla at a media conference here on Wednesday, confirming that the TV replay system will be utilised if a team challenges an umpiring decision.

Each team is given one chance to review an umpiring decision during a T20 innings at the international level. Shukla was speaking to the media after announcing that the T20 League has inked a three-year deal with Tata Nexon as its partner, declaring there was “great synergy between IPL and Tata Nexon.” Shukla said BCCI was awaiting the report from the BCCI'S anticorruption unit head, Neeraj Kumar on allegations against fast bowler Mohammed Shami.pti
