    DRS (Decision Review System) technology was in the news in the Colombo Test match between India and Sri Lanka which started on 23 July 2008. On the fourth day of this Test match, India’s opener Virender Sehwag was given out LBW on Muttiah Muralitharan’s ball in the second innings using DRS technology. Sri Lankan spinner Muttiah Muralitharan’s ball hit Sehwag’s pad, after which the on-field umpire rejected the LBW appeal. After this, the Sri Lankan team took DRS.

    DRS technology showed in the replay that the ball was hitting the middle stump, after which Virender Sehwag had to return to the pavilion after getting out. In this way, Sehwag became the world’s first batsman to be given out by the third umpire using DRS technology. Let us tell you that in this match, India was defeated by Sri Lanka by an innings and 239 runs. Sehwag scored 25 runs in the first innings and 13 runs in the second innings.
