DRS is a technology-drive system that assists match officials using ball-tracking and audio evidence.

Hawk Eye uses multiple cameras to track the ball’s trajectory, helping in LBW decisions and tracking the ball’s path.

The snickometer detects faint edges by using audio and visual technology. And this helps to confirm catches and edges.

Hot spot uses thermal imaging to show friction and contact points, aiding in decisions related to edges and LBW appeals.

Real time ball tracking traces the ball’s path, predicting where it would have to hit the stumps, assisting in LBW decisions.

Teams have got to decide quickly whether to challenge an umpire’s decision with DRS. They’ve got to balance risk with the number of available reviews. They can’t challenge everything, after all.

Technology is highly accurate but not infallible. Factors like weather, ball condition and calibration can all affect its precision.

Just like clashes with umpires and human refs, controversies often arise over disagreements over technology’s accuracy and the impact on the spirit of the game.

Absolutely. Technology helps massively in analyzing player performance, leading to better strategizing and improving skills through data-driven insights.

Yes, there are. The cricketing world continues to explore technological advancements, including AI-drive analytics and enhanced fan experiences.
