Hilarious video of young kids enacting DRS without any technology leaves R Ashwin in splits

The Decision Review System (DRS) has revolutionised cricket ever since it was first introduced more than a decade ago in a match between India and Sri Lanka in 2008. Since then it was been successful in getting rid of umpiring howlers and assisted players in numerous ways despite having its own set of flaws.

There have been quite a few alterations to the DRS over the last few years thanks to the advancement of modern technology. The tool is solely dependent on high-tech gadgets like slow-motion cameras, heat-sensors, stump microphones and multiple cameras placed at all-possible angles on the cricket field.

But a group of kids have demonstrated how DRS would look like if officials didn’t have any technology available to them.

A video is going viral on social media where a group of kids can be seen enacting the Decision Review System without the help of any cameras, ball-tracking device or snicko meters.

The hilarious video even caught the attention of India off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin, who posted it on his social media accounts as well.

“Can’t get over this.. don’t know how to caption it either,” Ashwin wrote on the post.

In the video the group of young kids enact a scene where the batsman plays and misses a delivery while the fielders and bowler go up in appeal. The umpire gives him out caught-behind but the batsman makes the sign for DRS with his hands.

The players then enact how the third umpire would look at different replays, ball-tracking and snicko just like in an international match but instead of modern technology, they did everything on their own.
