Technology behind DRS greatly protects players from human errors

The Decision Review System (DRS) is one of the most talked about topics in cricket. This technology is used to review on-field umpiring decisions which can help protect cricketers from potential human errors. Each team is permitted to make two unsuccessful review requests per innings in a match to dispute either a ‘not-out’ or an ‘out’ call. If the umpire’s decision is reversed, the appealing team retains its review, if not, they lose it for the entire innings.
