"MS Dhoni is aware that fans call DRS the Dhoni Review System" - Suresh Raina
Former Chennai Super Kings (CSK) batter Suresh Raina has revealed his cheeky take on MS Dhoni's accuracy with the Decision Review System (DRS). The former Indian cricketer revealed that the keeper-batter is aware fans refer to DRS as the Dhoni Review System.
Over time, the former Indian captain became one of the best DRS practitioners as his accuracy level was quite high. There were numerous occasions when his decision to take the review proved a masterstroke and fans gradually named it the 'Dhoni Review System'.
Speaking to Viacom18 Sports, Raina stated that the keeper-batter was in the best position to opt for it as he stood behind the stumps.
"MS Dhoni is aware that fans call DRS the Dhoni Review System. Even for me, it has always been the Dhoni Review System. Only later, I discovered the real term. He always takes the review at the last second because the bowler always thinks that it is out but it is Dhoni, who, from behind the stumps has a clearer vision of all three stumps and can take a better call."
Raina was one of the most integral players for the Super Kings, and was part of all four of their title victories. With 5528 runs in 205 games, the 36-year-old is the fifth-highest run-getter in IPL history and played his last season in 2021.
