Michael Vaughan took to X to express his liking for the new development that could be witnessed in IPL 2024. Earlier, when the decision was referred to the third umpire, only the voice of the official was heard live. Now, the decision-makers have gone one step further, thus, the video will also be shown along with the audio. 

"Great to see the Umpires in the DRS room making the calls .. Well done IPL." Vaughan wrote.

Notably, it is the first time, something of the sort has taken place in any international league. Like in many ways, IPL once again pioneered a development in world cricket.
