Overview

• Speaking in a Reddit Ask Me Anything, Tendulkar said he would remove Umpire’s Call from the Decision Review System.
• He argued that teams review because they distrust the on-field decision, so the third umpire should deliver a final verdict similar to tennis.
• He added that technology, even when imperfect, is "consistently inaccurate," favoring a clear, consistent outcome over reverting to the original call.
• Under current ICC protocol, Umpire’s Call retains the on-field decision when ball-tracking shows less than half the ball hitting the stumps.
• Reports noted he has pushed this view before, including in 2020 and in a discussion with Brian Lara, and there has been no announced ICC change.
