England Are Miles Better Than India At Reviews - Michael Vaughan Says India Need To 'Bring In Others' For Taking DRS

Former England captain Michael Vaughan reckoned Team India have become a laughing stock when it comes to taking DRS while fielding. He said it all seems comical when skipper Virat Kohli, wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant, the bowler and other fielders get together when discussing for a review.
These comments from Michael Vaughan came after India’s antics on Day 2 of the ongoing Test at Lord’s when Kohli burned out two reviews in quick time after being persisted into it by pacer Mohammed Siraj.
Also, notably, on the second review, Pant was seen holding off Kohli, but the skipper didn’t pay heed to it and went ahead with the ‘T’ signal, which saw him left for the rest of the innings with just a solitary review.
They need changing in their parliament to make decisions on the reviews: Michael Vaughan
Kohli has been poor with reviews in his entire captaincy career, across formats; it’s believed that the captain gets overridden by the emotions of the bowler and the desperation of a wicket. The image of reviews being squandered by Kohli always reminds fans of former captain
MS Dhoni, who was astute in his decision making, and didn’t get carried away by the appeals of the bowler.
Michael Vaughan opined that India need a change in the decision-makers when it comes to taking reviews, and also some more experience in this aspect of play.
“I cry with laughter when I see them all going together. It’s a little bit like government around the world at the minute. They need changing in their parliament to make decisions on the reviews. It’s not working, they need to bring in others, they need to bring in a little more experience,” Michael Vaughan told Cricbuzz.
“They made me laugh. One thing that I reckon the England side are miles better at, is reviews. If the series is decided upon better kind of smartness in reviews, then England are going to win the series,” he added.
At the start of Day 3, England trail by 245 runs and have 7 wickets in hand, and skipper Joe Root once again has to shoulder the responsibility of the entire batting.
Two reviews in two overs last night against Joe Root. Both negative.
