ICC should thoroughly look into 'Umpires' Call' in DRS: Tendulkar

legendary Sachin Tendulkar on Monday urged ICC to thoroughly revisit concept of 'Umpires' Call' in Decision Review System (DRS) after India ended up on wrong side of rule on third day of second Test against Australia in Melbourne.

'Umpires' Call' primarily comes into picture if a review has been sought for LBW. In a situation where umpire has ruled t out, even if ball is shown to be hitting stumps on review, TV umpire has powers to change decision.

only consolation for bowling team is that its review remains intact.

" reason players opt for a review is because y're unhappy with decision taken by on-field umpire. DRS system needs to be thoroughly looked into by @ICC, especially for 'Umpires Call'," Tendulkar tweeted.

This was after Australian batsmen Joe Burns and Marnus Labuschagne were lucky to survive LBW appeals despite replays showing that ball would have gone on to clip bails.

It was Australian spin legend Shane Warne, who first red-flagged rule set by ICC's Cricket Committee which is heed by Anil Kumble. Warne has time and again said that he could never understand Umpires' Call.

"If ball hits stumps, it cant be out and t out at same time," Warne h said in an interview to PTI last year.
