On July 11, Sachin Tendulkar posted a suggestion with regards to the umpire’s call in the Decision Review System, which has led to quite an uproar in the cricket fraternity. Tendulkar suggested doing away with the umpire’s call completely.

He opined that if the ball is hitting the stumps, no matter what percent, the batsman should be given out, irrespective of the on-field umpire’s decision. Taking to Twitter, the Master Blaster wrote: "What % of the ball hits the stumps doesn't matter, if DRS shows us that the ball is hitting the stumps, it should be given out, regardless of the on-field call."

“That's the motive of using technology in cricket. As we know technology isn't 100% right but neither are humans," he added while conversing with West Indies legend Brian Lara.

He further suggested that even if the ball is only kissing the stumps, the decision should go in the favor of bowlers. “One thing I don't agree with, with the ICC, is the DRS they've been using for quite some time. It is the LBW decision where more than 50% of the ball must be hitting the stumps for the on-field decision to be overturned,” he said.

"The only reason they (the batsman or the bowler) have gone upstairs is that they are unhappy with the on-field decision, so when the decision goes to the third umpire, let the technology take over; just like in tennis - it's either in or out, there's nothing in between," he remarked.

Finding his suggestions quite logical, many former and current cricketers took to Twitter and supported Sachin Tendulkar’s viewpoint on umpire’s call in DRS reviews.

Here are some tweets from cricketers backing Tendulkar on his opinion:
