The Punjab Kings head coach was speaking at a webinar titled Building Competitive Advantage through Sports Analytics and Data Intelligence, organised by Great Lakes Institute of Management, Chennai with Deakin University South Asia.

Kumble gave the example of how DRS has been a game-changer in the decision making process. "There is the influence of DRS [Decision Review System] already in cricket and I am sure there will be more technological influence on decision making as we go along," Kumble said.

"Also the fact about players' acceptance of being a part of this innovation, otherwise you will be left behind," added the stalwart, who has a staggering 619 Test wickets from 132 matches.
