The absence of the Decision Review System (DRS) in the final match of the Ranji Trophy being played between Mumbai and Madhya Pradesh has created quite a eruption on social media.
The Ranji Trophy 2021-2022 season’s final match is currently being played between most successful team in the competition, Mumbai and Madhya Pradesh, who are appearing in the final for the first time after 32 years.
A report earlier today on Times of India confirmed that the Ranji Trophy final is completely gonna be played without the DRS system available to challenge the umpire’s decision.
An unnamed official reportedly told Times of India that they have complete faith in the umpires and that doesn’t it is expensive to excise the use of DRS.
Currently the third day’s play is on and it seems going towards a quite a good finish. Thanks to a brilliant hundred from in-form batsman Sarfaraz Khan, Mumbai scored 374 runs. Madhya Pradesh is currently fighting their total and has scored 308 runs after 100 overs, as of writing this.
But, absence of DRS has led to many question the BCCI’s decision. Check-out how Twitter reacted to the whole scenario.
