More often than not, it is hard to decide whether or not to go in for Decision Review System because of the fact that it is limited in number. While former Indian skipper MS Dhoni continues to be an experts with the system, not many players aren’t anywhere close to MSD when it comes to DRS. Pakistan skipper S.Ahmed was at the receiving end this time around.
In the third Test against New Zealand, Sarfraz was seen in a discussion on whether to go for the DRS or not before eventually deciding to take it. The decision, however, proved to be a blunder with Pakistan wasting the review. Hassan looked convinced to have trapped Williamson in front of the stumps and had chat with Sarfraz. After a long thought, the Pakistani captain signaled DRS. The ball tracking, however, showed that the delivery was drifting wide outside the leg stumps.
Pakistan lost the match and series. Pakistan spin bowler Yasir Shah was named Man of the Series, having become the fastest to claim 200 Test wickets in terms of matches played.
