Sydney: The absence of the Decision Review System (DRS) may be a talking point in the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy series, but India's continued refusal of its use was partially vindicated when lower-order batsman Bhuvneshwar Kumar was controversially adjudged out in the fourth Test here Friday.

Kumar was batting on 30 on the fourth day of the concluding Test when he seemingly edged an off-spinner Nathan Lyon delivery to first slip at the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG).
