5 reasons why the Australian win actually helped India

#2 Better utilisation of DRS

The Indians have been roundly criticised for their use of the DRS

The DRS is a weapon which, if used efficiently, can land a team in a handsome position, but if it’s wasted then opportunities may go begging in the future.

In both innings, India went for reviews early in the innings and exhausted them. In the 56^th over, Ravindra Jadeja caught Steven Smith plumb in front, but since India used up their review by the 37^th over, Smith got a reprieve.

Again in the 66^th over, Matthew Wade edged a delivery to Wriddhiman Saha, which the umpire didn’t hear. Judicious use of the technology is what India needs to focus on during the upcoming three matches and also in the near future.
