Dhoni Review System! India umpire in awe of MS Dhoni’s accuracy in taking DRS calls | Cricket News – Times of India

NEW DELHI: India umpire Anil Choudhary recently shared his thoughts on the reviewing skills of legendary Mahendra Singh Dhoni, who is often hailed as one of the greatest for his razor-sharp judgment from behind the stumps.
During an engaging discussion on the 2 Sloggers podcast, Choudhary touched upon the popular joke that DRS, which officially stands for Decision Review System, is often humorously referred to as the “Dhoni Review System” by fans and experts alike.
Choudhary, who has seen Dhoni in action from the closest quarters, emphasized the former Indian captain’s uncanny ability to make terrific calls.
“He is very accurate, almost close to accurate,” Choudhary noted, highlighting how Dhoni’s instinct and cricketing brain have set him apart over the years.

The veteran umpire acknowledged that while Dhoni’s decisions are not infallible, they are rarely off the mark, which has added to his aura on the field.
Choudhary explained the unique challenges a wicket-keeper faces when making calls on DRS reviews.
“Sometimes what happens is that the keeper stays behind, even he can’t see the position of the bowler. That’s a different thing. But he is very reasonable,” Choudhary added, shedding light on the complexity of a keeper’s role during high-pressure moments.
Dhoni’s remarkable accuracy with DRS calls has led to numerous match-defining decisions in favour of India and his Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise Chennai Super Kings (CSK).
As Dhoni’s legacy continues to inspire, the term “Dhoni Review System” seems less of a joke and more of a fitting tribute to a player who revolutionized the way the game is played and should be analyzed.
