The use of technology in cricket claims to marginalise human error and to avoid disastrous decisions. In the ongoing ODI, Aaron Finch decided to call for a review where the ball tracking data deviated by inches from the actual spot. The Twitterati reacted on the same started questioning the DRS.

Australia was cruising at 193/0 with a brilliant opening partnership between Aaron Finch and Usman Khawaja. In the 32nd over of the innings, Kuldeep Yadav trapped Finch right in front of the stumps and the on-field umpire raised his finger. The Australian captain decided to call for a review but the DRS couldn't help him as the replay suggested that the ball would have gone on to hit the stumps. What was surprising about this dismissal was the fact that the ball tracking had it all wrong. The ball had actually pitched in the middle but the hawk-eye showed it pitching on the leg. This astonishing blunder on 'Hawk-Eye' left the cricket fans questioning the use of technology and its efficiency.
