DRS stands for Decision Review System. It is a technology-driven process that helps umpires make more accurate decisions on the field. DRS was introduced in 2008 and has since become an integral part of the game. DRS allows teams to challenge umpires' decisions on a limited number of occasions per innings. If a team chooses to challenge a decision, the on-field umpire will refer it to the third umpire, who will review the footage from multiple cameras and make a final decision.
