Decision Review System (DRS) will be in practice for the coming home series against England. Ajikya Rahane is the vice-captain of the home side. Upon asking about the new technology he said that although the focus will be on new technology but for us, game is the priority and we will be looking to give our best. DRS have been a controversial topic from Indian side but once again BCCI has been agreed to use the practice.
"It's a completely new concept. We have to wait and see about DRS. we have been discussing about this from the last series (against New Zealand) and we have (formulated) some plans. We will spend some (more) time explaining about DRS (to team members), how it works and how we should approach it, but the main focus is to play good, attacking cricket and DRS will come later on," Rahane told reporters ahead of the series starting on Wednesday here.
Talking about the Indian test skipper Virat Kohli he said, “Team is enjoying playing under his captaincy. He is more aggressive than our captain cool Mahendra Singh Dhoni. Kohli has learnt so many things from the former skipper. He is the complete team man and thinks for the team first."
"I am really happy that BCCI gave me this responsibility. As a player you learn many things and as vice captain of a team the mind is always alert. I am learning new things as player and vice captain and I am happy BCCI and selectors have given me this opportunity. I think it will bring out the best in me," he added.
