Former India skipper Azharuddin believes the BCCI has not yet acknowledged the benefits of DRS.
Former India skipper Mohammed Azharuddin is of the opinion that the BCCI has turned a 'blind eye' on DRS, despite the system being approved by the ICC.
"When other cricket playing nations are not averse to using it (DRS) then why is India ignoring it.Like in this Test match (Brisbane Test), so many decisions went against India, they could have gone in their favour. I mean even the Australians were at the receiving end but India suffered a lot. I strongly feel that either you completely use technology or just ignore it" - Mohammed Azharuddin
Azhar feels that if for easy run-out decisions, umpires take help of technology then why not for more difficult ones.
"Go back to the old days when decisions were taken by on field umpires and one had to accept them the way it was. I really don't know what is the problem.Once the ICC has approved it, then everyone should fall into its ambit. For a simple run-out or an elementary decision the umpires go to the third umpire even if the batsman is three yards short of his crease," said Azharuddin.
"I fail to understand this half-hearted approach. Either fully use technology or completely ignore it.When it is approved by ICC then what is the problem in using.It is only beneficial," opined Azharuddin

Another former India captain Dilip Vengsarkar admitted that he wasn't in favour of DRS earlier but is ready to accept it after umpiring howlers in Adelaide and Brisbane.
"I was of the opinion that DRS is not 100 percent foolproof but it seems we have to go for the technology now. A lot of easy decisions have gone against us and that has hurt us badly in the series.
"There were some questionable bat-pad decisions and catches as the umpiring has not been up to the mark. We have had some glaring mistakes especially in the first Test. It's high time that we go for DRS now," concluded Vengsarkar.
