Now, when we speak about DRS, which stands for the Decision Review System, Indian cricket fans often call it the “Dhoni Review System”, and for a simple reason. Whenever MS Dhoni takes a review, the chances of it being successful are usually high. However, there are occasional failures, and that’s exactly what happened today in the ongoing IPL match between CSK and RCB at the M. A. Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai.
Dhoni Review System.

Virat Kohli was at the crease, and CSK’s Khaleel Ahmed charged in to deliver a full-length ball that the Run Machine Kohli completely missed. The appeal for LBW was loud, but the umpire remained unmoved. As always, the CSK camp turned to MS Dhoni, who, after a brief discussion with Khaleel, advised current CSK captain Ruturaj Gaikwad to take the review. Everything seemed clear—Kohli was beaten all ends up—but then came the ball-tracking replay. It showed that the ball had pitched outside leg, and in an instant, the “Dhoni Review System” turned into the “Disaster Review System” as CSK lost an early review.
Adding to this, if we look back at IPL 2023 when MS Dhoni was the captain of the CSK team, he had an impressive 85.71% success rate in DRS.
