'It should be called Definitely Rohit System' - Sunil Gavaskar praises Rohit Sharma after his impressive use of DRS in the 1st ODI against WI

Rohit Sharma’s stint as the full-time Indian ODI captain started on a positive note as the ‘Men in Blue’ thrashed the West Indies with 6 wickets to spare in the opening ODI of the three-match series between the two sides.

Sharma also had a wonderful time making use of the Decision Review System (DRS). As many as three on-field decisions were overturned after the ‘Hitman’ used the DRS. And now, former Indian cricket legend Sunil Gavaskar has opened up on Sharma’s impressive use of the DRS.

Gavaskar said that DRS should be named Definitely Rohit System instead of Dhoni Review System. The 72-year-old also added that Sharma got his reviews spot on.

“Rohit Sharma got those reviews spot on. Earlier when Dhoni used to get more right than wrong, it was called as Dhoni Review System. Now you can term it as ‘Definitely Rohit System’,” said Sunil Gavaskar in a chat on Star Sports.
