Cricket World Cup: Rohit Sharma No Longer Takes DRS Calls. Reveals People Responsible For It

Cricket World Cup: Rohit Sharma has an intriguing take regarding the DRS calls that the Indian cricket team takes

The Rohit Sharma-led Indian cricket team maintained their all-win record at the Cricket World Cup intact is some fashion against Sri Lanka at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Thursday. With a 302-run win, India are the first team to enter the semi-final of the 2023 Cricket World Cup. Against Sri Lanka on Thursday, India first notched a huge total of 357/8. That was just the first half of a blockbuster performance as the bowlers then came to the party. It was a terrific display to say the least as Sri Lanka were dismissed for mere 55.

Everything fell in the right place. "I am very happy that we have officially qualified now (for the semis). When we started off in Chennai, this was our goal – to qualify first for the semis and obviously in the final," said Rohit during the post-match presentation.

"The way we approached these seven games, it was quite clinical. Everyone put in the effort and a lot of individuals have put their hand up."

Another important aspect was the DRS calls, which Rohit Sharma touched upon. There were two DRS calls against Sri Lanka where KL Rahul was spot on. On the first occasion, KL Rahul ruled against taking a DRS of a LBW call and he was right. The wicketkeeper-batter again proved to be right when off Mohammed Shami's bowling, he was convinced that Dushmantha Chameera had nicked the ball that he caught. That decision was also right.

Rohit Sharma mentioned in post-match chat that he has left the DRS calls to the wicketkeeper and the bowlers. "I have left it to the bowler and the keeper (whether or not to take a review) to make that decision for me, and I gotta find the individuals I can trust and I know it can go the other way as well. We got one right and one wrong today," he said.
