Ever since the Decision Review System made its way to the game of cricket, the enthusiasm after every on-field umpiring call had become an interesting moment in the game. Most of the players used it to perfection while a few of them wasted the opportunity to make use of it. Most of the times, the decision to review will be with the skipper when the team is operating with the ball. Regarding the same, a report by BBC reveals that Kane Williamson is the worst captain when it comes to DRS Calls in Test cricket while Virat Kohli was average with his DRS calling.
As per a BBC report, Williamson has reviewed a total of 57 umpire decisions in his tenure when it comes to the longest format of the game and has gotten only 7 of them overturned.
Kane Williamson managed only 12.28% success:
When it comes to the success rate, England skipper Joe Root sits top of the charts having won 29% of his reviews. Compared to him, Williamson only managed to get 12.28 percent right (including only those captains who have played 30 or more Tests).
Earlier, it used to be Virat Kohli, who is at the top of the table for wasting the DRS more number of times than any other skipper. However, the recent success in taking DRS calls and the poor record of Kane Williamson in the recent past has helped Virat Kohli to get rid off the tag, as Kane Williamson is now the worst captain in terms of DRS Usage.

Alongside Watling, Colin de Grandhomme scored a brilliant half-century to sort out the troubles of New Zealand.
At the end of the day 3 play, New Zealand were leading the scorecard with 41 runs. BJ Watling was batting with 119* runs while Mitchell Santner was on 31*. Earlier, England registered 353 runs on the board riding on the brilliant knock of Ben Stokes’ 91.
