Decision Review System: Former England cricketer Michael Vaughan and Hawkeye creator Paul Hawkins engaged in a heated debate after Vaughan advocated for transparency in Decision Review System (DRS) decisions.

The controversy ignited when Vaughan, advocated for full transparency in DRS reviews, suggesting that cameras and microphones should be placed inside the DRS room to allow fans at home to witness how decisions are made. His remarks came in the aftermath of Joe Root's contentious dismissal during the Ranchi Test.

Hawkins swiftly countered Vaughan's proposal, dismissing it as "uneducated" and urging Vaughan to exercise more diligence in his role as a cricket analyst. He emphasized the importance of factual accuracy in cricket journalism, likening it to the obligation of Hawk-Eye to provide precise analysis.
