Dhoni isn't a fan of DRS while Kohli is opposite: Aakash Chopra

Mumbai: Captain Cool, Mahendra Singh Dhoni is famous for his on point and perfect judgement from behind the wickets. There's hardly a thing that goes unnoticed from the eyes of Dhoni and therefore, team relies on his decision blindly. Recently, Aakash Chopra opened up in a chat show named Cric Cast, where he talked to Pakistan broadcaster, Sawera Pasha. He told how Decision Review System (DRS) doesn't appeal much to Dhoni while the case with Virat Kohli is vice versa.

Here's what Aakash Chopra said-

"India was the first team to use DRS in around 2008 during a series against Sri Lanka. MS Dhoni was not the captain of the team, Anil Kumble was. We took some really bad DRS calls in that series. It was a new thing, and we made poor use of technology. That's when we decided, that we don't like it. And if we don't like it, then we won't use it."

"Also, MS Dhoni was not a fan of it. The thinking of your team's captain matters a lot. Dhoni was convinced for the longest time that technology is not fool proof. Even today, it is not fool proof. There are still issues with the umpire's call, there are still issues with soft-signals. There are still issues, but it was even more back then than it is today."

Chopra also tell how Virat Kohli prefers DRS everytime

"He is a huge fan of DRS. He wants DRS in every match - be it IPL, or Ranji match - in any match. Now the thought has changed that embrace the technology, take it forward and make it better."
