This year's Indian Premier League (IPL) will feature the Decision Review System (DRS) for the first time, organisers have said.

IPL chairman Rajeev Shukla confirmed that the technology will be used when the eleventh edition of the cash-rich tournament gets underway next month.

“Yes, this idea has been going around for many years,” Shukla told reporters on Wednesday, according to the Press Trust of India news agency.

DRS is used by match officials to check umpires' decisions, using slow-motion replays, microphones and thermal imaging.

India resisted the technology for years but finally adopted it in 2016, becoming the last Test nation to do so.

In the upcoming IPL, which runs from April 7 to May 27, each team will get one review per innings.

The IPL's adoption of DRS comes after the Pakistan Super League became the first T20 franchise league to use the technology last year.

DRS was first used officially in Test matches in 2009, but the International Cricket Council only introduced it for T20s in October.

Similar technology is used in several sports including tennis, rugby and football, where it will be used at this year's FIFA World Cup in Russia.

Lol... We are not talking about mohalla cricket.... They used to play at night under lights long before Day&Night cricket started. Don't compare PSL with IPL. Even the lowest bid on an IPL cricketer is more than the total budget of PSL. By the way DRS was not invented by Pakistanis, just that when the scale is big, it's harder to bring change to a system.

But still those mega rich Indian cricketers weren't able to stop that ***-whooping by Poor PSL Players in Champions trophy final. Oh and how can we forget the last time when we had bi-lateral series we came to India and destroyed your team 2-1. So basically you are wasting too much money on these "Gulli Danda" Players.

Damn, one fluke match and Pakistanis will live on it for years together. Best example of subsistence living.

I bet Pakistanis don't know that MOU is not a contract. But in any case, backtracking or not why bother and beg when we don't want to play. Is money so important than self respect? Take a stand.

Who cares who brought it first to T-20 league franchise.

Butthurt for what? We are perfectly content with our record against you. So be content, don't ask for a bilateral against us.

The decision to include DRS for t20s was taken by the ICC technical committee some time after the ICC Champions Trophy last year, if my memory serves me right, after which it was validated in the ICC Chief Executive Committee meeting to be implemented from last October. This is the usual norm for all the technical changes to the game.

So there was no way DRS could be employed in IPL 2017. Sorry to burst your bubble, dear Pakistani friends, but you need to ponder such things before jumping to hasty conclusions.

Well, they rarely get to gloat about something against India, so who cares to bother about fact checking. Let them have this simple joy.
