Bring back DRS in Ranji Trophy knockouts: Amol Muzumdar

Madhya Pradesh in the final to Madhya Pradesh, Mumbai coach Amol Muzumdar urged the BCCI to use the Decision Review System in the Ranji Trophy knockouts in the future. The only time the BCCI employed the DRS for domestic cricket was in the semifinals and final of the 2019-20 Ranji Trophy season.

Redemption comes to those who wait, and for Madhya Pradesh, it was a long-drawn one that spanned 23 years. When they laid hands on their maiden Ranji Trophy, they did it in some style against an opposition that fought and threatened until the last session on the final day.

"DRS should be re-introduced (in the Ranji Trophy KOs). It should be used as an additional tool (for on-field decisions). If you're talking about taking domestic cricket to another level, you must use it. There are two clear benefits of using DRS in domestic cricket-one is that you will take out the 'howlers,' the other is that our cricketers will then know how to use DRS to the best effect in international cricket. If they get used to it in domestic cricket, it will be easier to get their DRS calls right while playing for India," Muzumdar told TOI.
