IPL to introduce Smart Replay System for accurate reviews
The Smart Replay System promises to offer the TV umpire access to a wider range of visuals, including split-screen images, compared to the past. For instance, scenarios like a fielder on the boundary rope taking an overhead catch in midair were previously challenging to assess thoroughly. However, with synchronised video footage, including split-screen views of the fielder's feet and hands at the moment of the catch, decisions regarding boundary catches will be more accurate and swift.
