Former Pakistani Cricketer Hasan Raza Sparks Controversy with Claims of India’s ‘DRS Manipulation’

The Indian cricket team’s exceptional performance in the Cricket World Cup 2023 has garnered praise from the cricketing community. However, former Pakistan cricketer Hasan Raza has accused the Indian team of manipulating the Decision Review System (DRS) to their advantage.

India secured their eighth consecutive victory in the tournament by defeating South Africa at Eden Gardens. They won the match by a massive 243-run margin, further solidifying their position at the top of the points table. Despite their impressive performance, Raza believes that India’s success is due to their manipulation of DRS.

Raza cited the dismissal of Rassie van der Dussen as an example. He claimed that the ball was hitting the middle stump after pitching on the leg stump, but the impact was in line with the leg stump. Raza expressed his concern about such incidents and called for stricter scrutiny of DRS, stating that its manipulation is evident.

In a tweet, Raza also mentioned that India had manipulated DRS in the match against Pakistan as well. He criticized the Indian team for not apologizing and highlighted the advantage of playing in home conditions.

Furthermore, Raza recalled the infamous incident involving Sachin Tendulkar and Saeed Ajmal in the 2011 World Cup, claiming that India had manipulated DRS during that match too.

Raza believes that this “home advantage” has played a significant role in India’s dominance in the ODI World Cup this year.

It is important to note that these are the opinions of Hasan Raza and not proven facts. The Indian team has not responded to these allegations.
