Top 5 DRS decision that changed the course of a cricket match

#5 Chris Gayle vs Zimbabwe in Canberra 2015

Chris Gayle celebrates after reaching his double century

It was a record-breaking knock played by Chris Gayle against Zimbabwe in the 2015 World Cup in Canberra. But the Jamaican marauder would have dismissed off the very first ball, had it not been for the DRS.

West Indies had already lost their first wicket with just 1 run on the board when Gayle was hit on the pad off his very first ball. The on-field umpire Steve Davis did not give him out, and Zimbabwe reviewed. When the ball tracking system was used, the ball was shown to hit Gayle below the knee roll and everyone including the commentators were convinced that the ball would hit the stumps. But then, somehow, the ball was shown to miss the stumps, and the original decision was upheld.

It was a massive reprieve, and Gayle went on to plunder 215 runs, and West Indies amassed 372 for 2 which also became their highest ODI total.
