NEW DELHI: Star India batter Virat Kohli shared a funny moment while revealing the names of players who are always keen to use DRS, jokingly dubbing them the "DRS legends." The former India captain, who has played alongside Kuldeep Yadav and Mohammed Siraj for years, admitted that these two often managed to convince him to take a review.

Kohli playfully teased Kuldeep and Siraj for their antics with taking reviews, while also poking fun at Ravindra Jadeja regarding DRS calls.

Talking to Gaurav Kapoor on House of Legends, Kohli revealed that he often waited for teammates to signal him before taking a DRS review after the ball struck the pad.

'DRS legends'

He went on to explain his strategy of using all three reviews early in the game, putting pressure on the umpire to make the right calls for the rest of the match. While he jokingly called Kuldeep and Siraj the "DRS legends," he praised MS Dhoni for his pinpoint accuracy and Ravichandran Ashwin for his perfectly balanced approach.

"DRS legends - Kuldeep Yadav number 1. Rishabh (Pant) is quite good. MS (Dhoni) is the most precise. Siraj and Kuldeep. Ashwin is also balanced," Virat Kohli said.

"Jadeja starts with 'out out out', and 10 seconds later he says 'tu dekh le'. He remains composed for 12 seconds and panics in 3 seconds and says 'it's on you'. I tell him there isn't so much time. Kuldeep and Siraj were the most enthusiastic. Once the ball hit the pads, they wanted to upstairs, even though if it was a risk," Kohli added.
