But having warmed up lately to the Decision Review System (DRS), India now have a 'DRS Pair' - skipper Virat Kohli and wicketkeeper Wriddhiman Saha, who are brilliantly complementing each other while going for referrals.
In fact, Kohli could give some credit to Wriddhiman for convincing him to go for a review on personal score of 180, when off-spinner Mehedi Hasan Miraz got a leg before decision from on-field umpire.
"Virat thought that he was out but I told him that you have probably stretched your front-foot more. I told him that hopefully, the impact may be outside (the off-stump) and the ball had spun sharply enough to miss the leg stump. So he (Virat) took a call and was saved," Wriddhiman spoke about his role in that favourable review.
"During the second time, I was about to ask Virat to check but he was hundred percent convinced that it was out. Also it was umpire's call and even if there was a chance of the delivery barely touching the stumps, it would have been out. Virat didn't take a chance and saved a DRS for the team," he said.
Again when Bangladesh were batting, India got the wicket of opener Soumya Sarkar through a successful DRS after the on-field umpire had ruled not out.
