Legendary former India batter and head coach Rahul Dravid has recalled an incident from his career, sharing a regret, stating that he wished he had gone against the advice of Sachin Tendulkar as well. In an interview with former India spinner Ravichandran Ashwin, Dravid shared that one regret he holds was not using the DRS (Decision Review System) when he had once been given out during India’s horrifying tour of England in 2011. Even Tendulkar had advised Dravid not to use the DRS as well. But, replays later showed that Dravid indeed was not out as well.

“There was one time where I regretted not using the DRS. It was during that 2011 tour in England in the Edgbaston Test,” Dravid recalled, in the conversation with Ashwin. “I drove Jimmy Anderson, and I heard a noise, like a ‘tuk’, but I didn’t feel anything on the bat. Sometimes as a batsman, you know it, you feel it. There was a loud noise, but I didn’t feel anything on the bat.”

However, Rahul Dravid was given out by Australian umpire Simon Taufel as well, and after a conversation with Sachin Tendulkar at the other end, he decided not to challenge the decision as well, but it went wrong for them as well.

“There was a noise, and Simon Taufel was a respected and good umpire. You didn’t really challenge him too much when he gave you decisions. He gave me out, and I walked to Sachin and said that I didn’t feel anything,” Dravid recollected. “Sachin said, ‘There was a big noise yaar Rahul, I am sure you smashed it.’ And I thought maybe yeah, it was one of those things because I heard the noise as well,” Rahul Dravid concluded.
