Kohli himself will admit that his DRS reviewing in this Test match was pathetic. A lot of this can be attributed to Wridhiman Saha, who being the wicket-keeper, offers decisive insights during reviews. Saha, throughout the Test match, was unable to read the game correctly and he even failed to notice the outside edge of Mitchell Marsh in the second innings.

On Jadeja’s bowling, the umpire turned down an LBW appeal against Smith when he was on 73. Had it been reviewed Smith, was walking back but India had already consumed both their reviews. Australia didn’t have to review a lot during their bowling but showed a better sense of using the DRS during the Test.

Stats: Most consecutive innings in international cricket without a duck
