When ICC & BCCI went to War | The Politics, The Scandal, The Controversy that Shaped Cricket | DRS
Dhoni was given out on a NO ball due to a wrong replay on DRS causing a huge Controversy Between ICC & BCCI. A complex mix of politics, deals and compromise that followed - gave us the DRS that we know today.
In June 2011, a significant controversy erupted in the world of cricket over the Decision Review System (DRS). The conflict primarily involved the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) and the International Cricket Council (ICC). Despite a long period of relative calm and indirect tensions, the two cricketing giants were poised for a showdown over the use of DRS.
The clash was not on the cricket field, but rather behind closed doors and in board meetings. The dispute had been escalating over two years, with the BCCI initially volunteering to test DRS but later becoming its staunch opponent. The central issue revolved around the accuracy of ball tracking technology and the high cost of equipment.
The ICC cricket committee unanimously recommended the use of DRS in all formats, including Tests, ODIs, and T20s. The annual ICC meeting in Hong Kong was anticipated to be a pivotal event for the DRS debate.
& it was there - where through intense negotiation and tough politicking a compromise was reached -
A compromise that draw ire from both sides. Cricket boards and cricket traditionalists alike.
But just as the revolt was about to break out, the controversy took a new turn after an incident during a Test match between India and the West Indies.
Already the 2011 Indian tour of West indies was in news for the spat between Indian Captain Dhoni and Umpire Daryl Harper. From his decisions to banning the debutant Praveen kumar - Everything had drawn the Indians ire causing Dhoni to publicly criticize the umpire in a press conference.
The umpire in response resigned from being the umpire for the rest of the series opting to take hi retirement early
and if if putting oil of fire - Dhoni would be given out on a wrong replay in the second test - Given out - on a No Ball.
The incorrect replay suddenly becoming a focal point for the DRS debate.
The mistake in the replay, caused by a rookie technician's error, ignited a full-blown controversy. Both sides seized upon this mishap to further their arguments. The ICC initially making it clear that the third umpire was not at fault. pushing the blame entirely on the broadcasting company's back-end team.
And even though the company came out to explain their side - through a detailed explanation f the EVS - Ecricature video System. none of it was enough to calm the flames - and as the opposition was about to launch a lethal attack
the ICC revealed that a monitoring official was meant to be present during the series, ensuring the accuracy of the video feed. This measure was designed to prevent errors like the one that occurred. It became evident that the absence of mandatory DRS usage had overridden this safeguard.
This revelation dealt a significant blow to the opponents of DRS. The ICC's strategic move weakened the anti-DRS faction's arguments, as it highlighted that the lack of DRS was responsible for the error, not the system itself.
Eventually, the controversy subsided, and the compromise was maintained. India's opposition to DRS began to soften, and over the years, the support for DRS grew within the Indian cricket community. By 2023, the BCCI would fully embrace DRS, even in domestic matches, signaling the end of a prolonged debate.
The controversy over the incorrect replay ultimately played a pivotal role in shaping the trajectory of DRS in cricket. The incident highlighted the need for technology to improve the accuracy of decisions, and it helped propel the acceptance of DRS worldwide, making cricket a fairer and more transparent sport.

Fun fact: Just before this match, Dhoni was going to take a break of 6 months because of an elbow injury but old legend Sanjay Bangar sir suggested that he play one last match before going back to Ranchi. However during the course of the match, Dhoni's arm movements resulted in his injury self healing(by bone switch) and he never took the break. So if this match hadn't happened then Dhoni's memorable 2011 matches wouldn't have happened.
What do you mean by memorable matches in 2011?

And that's how DHONI REVIEW SYSTEM became a reality😅
Do you like the way he says things though? Like every other statement with that tone.
I'm a simple guy. I see Dhoni on the thumbnail and I click.
when ever cricket razz uploads it always like a trip down memory lane
And the new generation like me gets to know about the history and I'm not even an indian but a genuine cricket lover

@@Deadmatter1 Bangladesh
Absolutely
But his voice is very cringe
You make cricket come alive and be so much more than what we perceive it to be from our TV/mobile screens.
As a football fan who is fed up with VAR it is amazing to see how well the DRS works and how it has helped decrease errors significantly
complete different games and different rules. 1 90 minute football matches have 10 times more decisions making than cricket whole day match plus they are very straight forward
@@Subha95 Agreed, But DRS is not black and white. Hence why we still have 'Umpires Call'. God only knows why VAR dosen't use this common sense.. if VAR cannot make a unaminous decision then it should just go back to the refs original call how he saw it.
well, its the referees that make these decisions wrong. VAR in my opinion is amazing ,just not the refs@@Subha95
@@Subha95 lol😂😂
BCCI was opposing because they just didn't wanted to spend money.
True, money on arranging all the technical equipments for DRS
And over the years, the cricketing world renamed it to Dhoni Review System!
The irony is that even Dhoni himself wasn't in favour of DRS.
He and BCCI has own doubts on that. And those doubts looks has some strong base.
DRS still in doubt.
Because of controversial hotspot technology, that was real garbage. And ball tracking was still a child back then, it is very costly too. Ball tracking is still getting improved on.
The way of your story telling and presentation describes how passionate and knowledgeable you are.. Just by watching 2-3 videos I have became fan of this channel Keep growing bro...
Amazing work, as always. On a side note, I don't know if you take recommendations from the comments or not. But if you do, may I please request a video on the infamous "Bodyline" fiasco? I'd love to see your amazing narration on that topic. If not, that's ok. Thank you for all the hard work that you put forth to bring us such excellent content.
The 2011 West Indies India test series was the second test series I ever watched. Knew nothing about cricket back then. Had just finished primary school and filled my days watching the preceeding Pakistan series then this one.
I remember another Test vs New Zealand in the 4th innings when Dhoni was out off a no-ball, Neil Wagner was the bowler, I think he had crossed the wide line box at Bowler's end and Dhoni was inside edge bowled.. India lost it by some 75 or 35 runs I don't remember properly
Back foot no ball?
Extremely good content.. Fascinated by this channel!!
One of a kind Cricket KZhead Channel. Amazing...!
The way you depict the Story/Incident will be so nice. Also the vocabulary you use is simply outstanding. Especially the way you depict the non-Indian cricket videos are also amazing and it's kind of more interesting (For Ex:- Viv Richards one) Love your videos. Big Fan of ur English Videos. I'm 19 and I hv personally learnt much more English than what I learnt in my primary scl.
Another day another banger of a video ❤️
Thanks to the producer for providing these videos. Very enjoyable. Here is a suggestion for making these even more effective - speak your voiceovers more clearly and close to the mic with a pop screen. And also cut back on the drama in the voice. Too dramatic which actually takes away from what is being said rather than enhance it.
Bro. Can you do a video covering the Debacle of the 2007-08 Sydney Test between India & Australia. It was chaotic, controversial and literally bizzare...
Pretty sure he already has. Just search.
his voice and the way he tell the stories, man i think i am physically present in the particular situation watching all the drama.
So DRS is actually Dhoni Review System ❤
No matter how much of good or bad the entire DRS fiasco was eventually panned out. for a quality of MSD to be near to perfect in most of his decisions, or never wasting any unnecessary decision on impulsive calls.. And MSD precision perfection is way beyond explanation how most others would fail to even take those split decisions in that time.. as for MSD he was sure when he would go and when he just wanted to pull rabbit out of hat for TV viewers
Aaah..bhai ka video..on a monday..pure story❤
Amazing video as always. Thank you so much sir Next up can you cover the team we should go with in WC 2023 & what are your thoughts on who wins the WC this year?
Nice one.. Want another video on dhoni
I know its gonna be a banger without even watching the video
Still a massive BCCI L for not embracing technology sooner, easily setting back the sport since their inception. Just like this year's World Cup planned like a gully cricket tournament.
"Just like this year's World Cup planned like a gully cricket tournament" how?
Great research and well paced video! but a small suggestion, i am having a hard time trying to understand what you are saying maybe it is the voice or enunciations, just a thought which might help you reach wider audience as you are doing great background work on these! All the best.
Awesome video. And your narration is impressive.
Bhai you are keeping cricket alive. ❤
Love the use of your similes in your videos 😊
Hello brother, Your videos are awesome no doubt, But I have a suggestion. Plz increase audio volume... It becomes very difficult to listen your voice even in a room. Your high pitch is good but low pitch is very low. Plz fix this.
Loved your articulation of the story.
Superb story telling bro i am 18 year old i don't know all these but because of story telling and cricket i watching your videos
Wonderful story about How DRS was born from scratch....thank u
very good. loved it.
Can u make a video on Jadeja Anderson controversy of 2014... Humble request from a cricket fan 👀
For some reason your story telling gives me goosebumps in every single line😂
How about a story on supersport and India's tour of south Africa and the test series?
Amazing video bro!
Content selection as always, very good. But one thing that I must point out is... When the content of the video is deep, like this one, meaning where there is not a moment to be distracted, and the narration is fast, the seemingly irrelevant filler video clips moving in the background cause distraction. The brain wants to focus on the moving pictures and try to make a connection with the narration, which for most part is not there because of the format of the content where real clips are not available or rather not necessary. Those board meeting clips, that stack of coins near the keyboard, that Misbah Ul Haq sweep shot, all was messing with the narration. My suggestion, replace the filler clips with static representative images of the party in that part of the conversation with text summary / highlight / one-liner of that very part of the narration appear on screen. Just a suggestion, you can shoot it down.
Why isn't your channel verified yet? One of the underrated channels.
Lovely story telling as always! Thanks for sharing this information - i had no idea about the noball issue.
Glad you enjoyed it brother🙏🙏
The 2013 Ashes is a perfect example of ridiculous DRS that even infuriated commentators. This deserves a video.
There's one thing, the first clip of Dhoni in the press conference has to be at least from 2014, because Star India was Indian kit sponsor only from December 2013
It is bcuz he is in an ODI jersey for a post match press conference for a test match? 💀
Alot of these clips are from other series rather than the ones being deacribed at the specific moment. I'd say likely due to copyright or lack of easily available footage. Two tragic reasons.
I like your vocabulary. Excellent choice of words.
Excellent explanation 👏🏻
You are a good narrator
Just a request if you can do video on Sangakkara and Jayawardene's marathon 624-run partnership against south Africa
Everything is great but why cricket shots are less quality?
Best, most underrated cricket KZhead channel
and in only after some time DRS was name Dhoni Review System
Love your channel bro
Bro your videos are very informative and I love it....just one feedback in recent videos you are doing too much voice modulation in ur speech....it is sounding gimmicky
Yes, I agree. Quite annoying, just be natural. Don't try to add extra charm. Causes overdosing.
well explained!
In the end it ironically became Dhoni Review System. 😅
Love ur voice and the way u present it like Alfred Hitchcock presents his movies.

This is the same as var fallout in Liverpool vs Tottenham game
Can you make a detailed video on DLS method ?
Should have a live camera in the broadcasting room while taking DRS
Drs was much needed during Steve Bucknor umpiring
i respect your cricketing knowledge sir Here a pitch for the next 2 video series. Follows virat kohli during the captaincy saga , all the leaked reports after that , his break , comeback on asiacup , till to this worldcup it would be highly viewed nobody has touched upon this be the first one to do as you always has please reply if you liked this pitch for the next video series
You are chuckling too much while narrating. Just narrate, use emotional undertones like you would use salt for food.
Thanks for the feedback brother, will work on it☺️
Nice Video❤❤
HOW LONG HAS IT BEEN
you make good videos and have excellent research to tell such stories. But just a small request, please speak English in a uniform tone and volume. You try to dramatize your pronunciation and it becomes difficult to understand. I am also a native Hindi speaker. Small feedback I hope you understand. Improving your tone and having a uniform speaking way will help you attract a global audience
Please make a video on the Ind Aus 2013 ODI series.
You are giveb discription of match in 2011 June But 2011 wc ..drs was used na?
No ball review must for every ball
Dhoni had a big hand in slow adoption of DRS by the Indian team.
why did he not favor?
@@seshasaisrivatsavDRS was not that accurate at that time resulting in many wrong decisions. Later on it was much improved and still being improved. Hence Dhoni had his own doubts on drs.
Can you do a video about the Vaseline incident in the India England series of 1976? I hope the year is correct!
The bowlers name was Lever. Left arm pace.
How about a video on Pak ct17 journey? Qudrat Ka nizaam documentary in 2022?
Keep it up.
1:36, this clip is of 2014+ as Star is sponsoring India, back in 2011, it was Sahara
I really love your uploads but sometimes it gets too historical. I hope you consider developing content on the latest topics and themes e.g. David's defensive coaching style, Indian teams poor performance in T20 WCs, Test World Series etc. I hope you will consider this.
Yes
I think we would love a combination of old and new topics. But these days everyone is talking about David's defensive game approach that is translating into a defensive playing style for India through his coaching. Similarly, BCCI's approach to brush Indian tram failure under carpet with pushing blame on the selectors and not taking captaincy from Rohit etc.
There are two things that can improve ball tracking and they are umpires call on pitch in line and impact in line. There is no prediction here, they should be either inline or not. We have to accept the prediction from the impact to the stumps however, even though it is wrong 30 to 40% of the time.
I still remember that No ball Scandal in west indies.. At that time I really thought it was some agenda by Indian Media(xd) I was like 9-10 yrs old
But DRS was introduced in 2008.. Not after this test against WI in 2011 as you have mentioned
he mentioned in india, it was introduced in 2011 later than rest of the world
@@premanandamishra7470 OK 👍
Love your videos broo... I would love to see you talk about the 1997 champions trophy where the Underrated Bangladesh Team emerges to become the champion.
But champion trophy was in 1998 won by sa
@@shivajibarkade1442 no they did won their 1st back then but I guess it was ICC Trophy not Champions Trophy
@@theredranger6151 Bangladesh never won any icc trophy or Asia cup
That was not champions trophy. Champions trophy is played among top 8 cricketing nation. Bangladesh was not even a full ICC member in 1997, leave being among top 8 cricket playing nations. Moreover Champions cup had not even started in 1997.
Raaz you got to make a video on 2021 lords test day 5 plsssssss
Till now, I think India hasn’t agreed for the use of hotspot. Now no body uses I guess. But back in mid 2010s, only India would not use hotspot.
That is not the reason. Hot spot is a US military technology that has been allowed to be used by US only to its close defence allies, such as Australia. US would not allow it to be used in other countries that are not their defence allies. So hotspot equipments were not allowed to be used outside Australia and England, among cricket playing nations.
And the following England tour wasn't any better. The Vaseline-gate, the LBW reviews(the lack of it) and so on.
Sir english kis AI ZSE DRAFT karate ho
I need to increase speed of the video so frustrating to listen
Bro, your content is amazing and story is so well built. I just want to give you feedback on your narration, please reduce your intonations, it's a bit hard to continue listening to you after a while because of that.
Can you please cover the 2004 test series win in Pakistan?
so literally DRS is Dhoni Review System for real
You should add some bass in you voice bro,😅 it's hard to listen for long, you should improve on it
Always great to see India on the wrong side of the issue everytime.
Sir can u please make video on Asia Cup
humble request improve your audio quality
Ah, now I know why is it called Dhoni Review System!
Make a video on ab divilliars and rcb please....
His Voice perfectly suits these type of videos .
I wonder what happened with the rookie analyst..
as pointed out by some others here, please reduce the dramatization in your narration.. on some occasions it sounds made up and not fitting the particular aspect of the story at that moment. Also too many board room clips :) but your content and research is good..
I will surely try to work on it. I was getting complaints that I was getting too monotonous hence was trying to modulate a bit more. Still keep the feedback coming, it helps a lot 🙏
2008 Sydney?
@CricketRaazEnglish Nice Upload . if the video played does not sync with what you are saying ... its mentally painful to see it . Can you improve in the future ?
Why was BCCI against DRS?
Cricket now has a Drag Reduction System like F1? I’m impressed. P.S. I’m kidding. Just hoping whoever is in charge of the DRS has not gone to the Steve Bucknor school of umpiring.
