Indian cricket team and DRS controversy on South African (SA) soil. This has become a 'series'. This time also the Indian cricket team is in South Africa (SA) to play a complete series. India won the T20 series twice. Lokesh Rahul's leadership win in ODI series. This time it is the turn of the test series.
The first test starts on December 26. Before the Boxing Day Test, remember the Cape Town Test of the last SA tour? Virat Kohli left the Test captaincy after that match. The reason is different. Virat Kohli left India amid controversy, South Africa tour ended in controversy.

DRS controversy in this T20 series
First, let's talk about the DRS controversy in this T20 series. The first match was marred by rain. As a result, the T20 series became a two-match series. India's loss in rain-hit second match. In the third match, captain Suryakumar Yadav's century made India a big score. David Miller gets a run chase. Suryakumar Yadav was not on the field at that time due to a fielding injury. Co-captain Ravindra Jadeja is in charge.
Ninth over of the innings. Jadeja was bowling. Miller's bat touches the ball in the hands of keeper Jeetesh Sharma. The voice came. Maybe the umpire didn't hear it. Did not respond to the out request. Jadeja review to find out that there is no option! DRS was off for a while due to technical issues with the broadcaster. DRS returns after about ten minutes. By then, David Miller's wicket was intact. There was no major issue in India winning till the end. But last visit!

what happened last time
Proteas captain Dean Elgar took DRS after on-field umpire Marias Erasmus' decision to dismiss. Where the ball is pitched, where the impact is, there is no way for him to survive. But it is the opposite! DRS is caught tracking the ball and the ball is going over the wicket! Umpire Marias Erasmus herself was surprised. How is this possible! Balls that bounce, impact, cannot go that high in any way. Erasmus said, "It is impossible". However, he had to change the decision on the instructions of the third umpire. Elgar remained at the crease.
The Indian camp is angry about this surprise of DRS
Bowler Ravichandran Ashwin told broadcaster SuperSports directly, "Should have found another way to win." Lokesh Rahul also told the stump mic, "The whole country is playing against eleven." And captain Virat Kohli. Stump faced the mic and said, 'Focus on your team as well. There is no benefit in only holding on to the faults of others.
Virat's message was about the ball tampering incident in Australia. Cameron Bancroft polishes the ball from the sandpaper during the tour of South Africa. Which was captured by the cameraman on the giant screen. The then Aussie captain Steve Smith, co-captain Warner and opener Bancroft were exiled for the incident. Captain Kohli reminded Ashwin that the right decision should have been made in the way the broadcasters showed the wrongdoing of the opponent even if they did not support the ball tampering.
Despite losing the Cape Town Test, the thrill of the entire series was lost in that DRS of the broadcaster. Virat didn't stop mocking Elgar after giving him a not out. In many cases, Jasprit Bumrah's bowling hit the ball below the knee, but Virat did not take a review. Virat's words were caught on stump mic. He was saying, 'There is no use in reviews. Height factor. This delivery will rise to shoulder height in tracking.' Test series ahead. Virat is no longer the captain. There will be no such controversy with the broadcaster this time! That fear remains. It has already happened once in the T20 series.
