BCCI's nod for DRS a significant step

Deccan Chronicle  

The BCCI finally accepting DRS last week is the most significant development in the sport in recent years, though upstaged for news value by the Supreme Court turning the screws further on the Indian cricket establishment. Essentially, both are leading to the BCCI's profile and positioning getting redefined: as custodian, not owner, of Indian cricket. Take the case of DRS, which has been a prickly issue in the sport over the past eight years because of the BCCI's opposition: this, after being among the first two countries to see its being implemented in Test cricket in 2008. In some way, the BCCI’s standoffish approach has also been a major factor in the unseemly row with the Supreme Court over reforms mooted by Justice RM Lodha.
