Evin Lewis became the first cricketer to use DRS in IPL cricket.

Mumbai Indians' Evin Lewis exercised the Decision Review System (DRS) for the first time in the Indian Premier League on Saturday.

In the third over of Mumbai's innings, Lewis was adjudged leg-before-wicket to a full delivery from Chennai Super Kings' Deepak Chahar. The West Indian opener consulted his skipper Rohit Sharma before calling for the DRS.

However, the review proved to be unsuccessful as hawkeye showed the ball to be clipping the leg stump, returning the decision as umpire's call. Mumbai was able to retain its only review in this instance.
