The 2019-20 Ranji Trophy season saw many firsts. It not only saw Saurashtra clinching the trophy for the first time in the history of India's premier domestic competition, but also saw the maiden usage of Decision Review System (DRS)—though in limited format—in the Ranji Trophy. BCCI GM Cricket Operations Syed Saba Karim said that limited DRS was able to serve its purpose and the players and the match officials were happy with its introduction.

According to Karim, they were able to eliminate a lot of umpiring mistakes which were witnessed in the knockout stages of the last Ranji season. "I am very happy to see the results of the limited DRS. I interacted with the players, the coaches and the match officials," Karim pointed.
