"Retweet If You Feel @ICC Should Scrap This Age Old DLS Method & Bring Some New Method... #INDvNZ," a user tweeted.
"Person who invented this DLS method in cricket was definitely a failure in mathematics...Why India has to chase 148 in 20 overs...If this scenario occurs today??," another user tweeted.
Another user wrote: "Very nice! They are now 211 in 276 balls (46.1 overs) In same overs (46 overs) DLS target becomes 237 Nice Dumb Lol method."
