Watch: Hardik Pandya abuses Ishan Kishan and Harshal Patel for convincing him to take a wrong DRS

The Decision Review System (DRS) is something that needs to be used very carefully. After all, teams only get a limited number of opportunities to challenge the on-field decision. In the shorter formats of the game, teams get the luxury of two unsuccessful reviews. Notably, the rule was made after neutral umpires couldn't travel to another country due to COVID -19 in 2020. For the record, the teams used to get one review per innings.

On the other hand, three reviews are used in modern days of Test cricket instead of two before the pandemic era. According to the rules of DRS, they won't be deducted in case of decision goes in the favor or are an umpire's call. This is the reason the teams need to use their reviews carefully. Meanwhile, during the second T20I between Ireland and India, the Men In Blue took a wrong DRS call.

The incident happened during the hosts' innings when the scorecard read 119/3 in 10.5 overs. Harshal Patel was bowling and Lorcan Tucker was on strike to face the last ball of the over. Patel bowled a ball outside the off-stump which was missed by Tucker and the former went up for the lbw dismissal. The on-field umpire gave it not out as the ball hit the batter's pads outside the off-stump.

According to the rules, a batter can't be given out if the ball hit their pads outside the off-stump only if they try to play a shot. However, in a shocking turn of events, Patel and wicketkeeper batter Ishan Kishan convinced their skipper Hardik Pandya to challenge the decision. As it turned out, the decision stayed and the visitors lost the review. Aftermath, Pandya was seen giving a mouthful to the duo.
