Former England captain Michael Vaughan is upset with a few DRS calls made during the fourth Test between India and England in Ranchi that ended with the home team being victorious by five wickets, winning the five-match series 3-1.&nbsp;

Following Joe Root’s controversial dismissal in the second innings, wherein he got adjudged LBW despite replays showing the ball not pitching on&nbsp;the line of stumps entirely, Vaughan said cameras should be on the DRS operators for better transparency.

Although the DRS call benefited England in India’s first innings in the fourth Test, with as many as four decisions going their way, and even Stokes survived an LBW call in the second innings, Vaughan insisted on either the removal of this rule or making necessary changes to ensure the consistency remains.

“I’m not saying anyone is cheating,” said Vaughan on the Test Match Special Podcast. “I’m trying to give an answer for when a decision is made, and we all disagree with it. If the person on Hawk-Eye is filmed it puts the noise to bed.”

“I can understand supporters on both sides being frustrated with the decisions that have been made. It doesn’t look like Hawk-Eye is having a great series,” the ex-England captain added.&nbsp;

<h2>Eye on the decision makers</h2>

Vaughan didn’t mince his words while bashing the technology (that is not 100% correct) and the people behind it, saying those who make such calls should also be monitored.&nbsp;

He also urged the governing body – the International Cricket Council (ICC), to get someone on board to keep a keen eye on those making decisions.&nbsp;

“The most important operators of decisions now are in the trucks. We need to have a camera in the truck to give an understanding of how it all comes to that decision."

“All I want is full transparency. If it takes the International Cricket Council employing someone to put in the trucks for integrity, they have to do that as well. For the game in general, for people watching, we need to see who is operating, because the person operating the technology is more important than the umpires,” Vaughan added.&nbsp;

<h2>India win series in Ranchi</h2>

Heading into the fourth Test with a 2-1 lead in the five-match series, India dismissed England on 353 in the first innings. Falling shy of their first innings total by 46 runs, India made inroads into the game during the third innings by dismissing the visitors for mere 145, with Kuldeep Yadav and Ravi Ashwin starring with the ball.&nbsp;

Chasing 192 in the final innings, India had a few hiccups early on day four, but a handy 72-run stand between Shubman Gill and Dhruv Jurel ensured the hosts crossed the line without much hassle.&nbsp;

Dharamsala will host the final Test of the series starting March 7.&nbsp;

IND vs ENG: Michael Vaughan wants cameras on DRS operators for ‘transparency’

India and South Africa are currently involved in the three-match ODI series following the conclusion of the riveting three Tests, in the rainbow nation. During the Test series finale at Newlands, Cape Town, Virat Kohli-led India had set a tricky 212-run target for the Dean Elgar-led home side on Day 3.

During the final session of the third day's play, Kohli-led India had dismissed Aiden Markram and were aiming to see the back of Elgar, SA's mainstay with the bat. During the fag end of Day 3, Elgar survived a very close lbw call off R Ashwin's bowling.&nbsp;

After being given out initially by the on-field umpire, the SA captain took the decision upstairs. The replays suggested that the ball had hit the batter below the knee whereas the hawk-eye showed that the ball was going above the stumps. Hence, the left-hander managed to survive as Indian players expressed their frustration without mincing their words.

Captain Kohli said on the stump-mic, "Focus on your team as well and not just the opposition, trying to catch people all the time." On the other hand, Ashwin and vice-captain KL Rahul also lashed out at the host broadcasters, SuperSport, for favouring the home team.

While many former cricketers and experts of the game have criticised Kohli &amp; Co. for their on-field rant, Little Master Sunil Gavaskar feels the entire episode was 'avoidable'.

“When you are playing for your country… when you are trying your best to win, every single moment that you are out there, you can lose your composure and cool. If you say something while you are walking, it’s a different matter, but when you go towards a stump mic – you know it is going to pick up stuff – then it doesn’t look good so that was something that was avoidable,” Gavaskar said on&nbsp;Sports Today.

Gavaskar added, "Tempers are lost on a sporting arena. You see any sports – whether it is football, cricket or any other sport – tempers are lost. I don’t think they were trying to insinuate something But if you look at it, how would we Indians feel if an overseas team captain did this went to the stump mic and say something to the television channel covering the series. We wouldn’t accept it."

While India saw the back of Elgar on Day 3 itself, following the DRS controversy, Keegan Petersen guided his side to en emphatic seven-wicket win in the morning session of Day 4 (on January 14). Following the series defeat, by 2-1, Kohli stepped down as the Test captain on the next day itself, i.e. January 15 (Saturday).&nbsp;

What if overseas team captain did it? Gavaskar opines on Kohli's stump mic-rant, feels it was 'avoidable'

South African broadcaster SuperSport has responded to the allegations of foul-play made by the Indian players during Day 3 of the recently-concluded third Test between the two sides at the Newlands Stadium in Cape Town. Indian players, including captain Virat Kohli, didn't shy away from venting out their frustration on the official broadcaster for the hosts after a controversial DRS call went South Africa's way on Day 3 of the Test match.

The incident happened during Day 3 when South Africa skipper Dean Elgar was trapped plumb lbw by R Ashwin. The on-field umpire raised his finger and deemed Elgar out. However, the SA captain went for a review and the DRS hawk-eyer showed the ball was going over the stumps despite the replays suggesting that the ball had hit him below his knee.

The hawk-eye tracker left Indian players baffled as Kohli and others were absolutely furious. Kohli was then seen walking towards the stump mic and taking a jibe at the host broadcaster SuperSport. “Focus on your team as well when they shine the ball eh, not just the opposition. Trying to catch people all the time,” Kohli was heard saying.

R Ashwin and KL Rahul also joined the bandwagon and alleged foul-play by taking a dig at SuperSport. “You have got to find better ways to win SuperSport,” Ashwin was caught saying on the stump-mic while Rahul said - “The whole country against us 11.”

SuperSport has now responded to the allegations and comments from the Indian players and said it has no control over the hawk-eye, which is an independent service provider and is approved by the International Cricket Council (ICC).&nbsp;

“SuperSport notes comments made by certain members of the Indian cricket team. Hawk-Eye is an independent service provider, approved by the ICC and their technology has been accepted for many years as an integral part of DRS,” the broadcaster said in a statement, as per AFP.

“SuperSport does not have any control over the Hawk-Eye technology,” the statement added.

South African broadcaster responds after Indian players allege foul-play in Dean Elgar DRS controversy

Major controversies of Cricket World Cup 2019

The second Twenty20 International match between India and New Zealand became controversial when batsman Daryl Mitchell fell to a debatable LBW call.&nbsp;

An inside edge, that was apparent even without the Hotspot technology, was given LBW out by the third umpire.&nbsp;

Mitchell, who made his debut in the first T20I in Wellington, was given out LBW to Krunal Pandya in the seventh over of New Zealand's innings by the on-field umpires and opted for a review on the insistence of his skipper Kane Williamson, who was at the non-striker's end.&nbsp;

Mitchell and Williamson were sure that there was an inside edge but there wasn't any spike on snicko&nbsp;but the TV replays clearly showed there was an inside edge.&nbsp;

Also, a huge spot on the Hotspot could also be detected as the ball passed the bat but eventually he was still given out by third umpire Shaun Haig.&nbsp;

The issue also triggered a debate on the spirit of the game because the only way Mitchell could have survived was if Rohit had called him back after replays on the big screen made it clear that there was an inside edge before the ball hit the batsman's pads.&nbsp;

But the Kiwis, bestowed the spirit of the game award by the ICC quite often, had to accept the controversial call.&nbsp;
