The BCCI is opposed to it but Indian opener Virender Sehwag on Sunday gave a thumbs up to the controversial Umpires Decision Review System (UDRS).

“I am a big fan of UDRS. I want it to be there for the India-New Zealand series, India-South Africa series and in the World Cup. But this is my personal opinion,” said the India opener at a media conference here on Sunday.

Sehwag, who has been signed up by Sunil Gavaskar’s company Professional Management Group in a five-year deal for handling his endorsements, said that he favoured the UDRS as he had been in the rough end of a few umpiring decisions.

“I was given out two times when I was not out and in such a situation could have gone in for a referral that would have helped me continue to bat,” said the opener.
