The BCCI has decided to use "limited DRS" during the Ranji Trophy knockout matches from this season in a bid to cut down on umpiring howlers that grabbed headlines during previous seasons.
The DRS version to be used during the domestic tournament will not comprise Hawk-Eye and UltraEdge, the two key elements of the system used in international cricket.
A lot of controversial decisions were taken by on-field umpires during the Ranji Trophy last season, including the semi-final between Karnataka and Saurashtra in Bengaluru, and BCCI's general manager of cricket, Saba Karim said it is important to avoid such howlers in future.
"Last year, in some of the knockout matches, there was some flak on umpires because there were some terrible howlers," Karim told ESPNcricinfo.
"So we want to avoid all that and use whatever help we can get. For the knockouts in Ranji Trophy matches, we will utilise all the technology available to us as a means to apply the limited DRS to help the on-field umpires make the correct decision."
