Ravi Shastri feels the absence of an ICC title during his crucial stint as the head coach of the Indian men’s cricket team is a disappointment, but he has no regrets considering the achievements. Shastri had announced that he would step down from the role after 2021 t20 world cup Rahul Dravid recently took over from him in the United Arab Emirates.
For Shastri, winning consecutive Test series on Australian soil is the highest point of his tenure which began in 2017 when India cleaned up Sri Lanka across all formats.
“There are no regrets when you have traveled over five years, the way I have done and been of the team and when they have been the ones to achieve more,” Shastri said. India Today. ,High, it must be Australia, just can’t take it away. Back-to-back wins in Australia after almost 70 years is something that could not have been imagined. Makes it very special. And of course, leading the series in England.”
Shastri feels that in white-ball cricket, if a team doesn’t start well, it becomes difficult to catch them and the same happened in the T20 World Cup from where India were knocked out in the group stage itself.
“It’s a disappointment, not a pity. We could have won if not one, maybe two tournaments but such things happen. In white-ball cricket, things change very quickly. May be behind as it happened in this World Cup,” Shastri said.
However, trophies don’t matter as much to Shastri as the Indian team becomes “in the best formats” in the world in his time.
“But let me tell you something, that is silverware. We have enough silverware. If I have too much, it’s a problem to polish it after a few years when I get a little older. But Steel is more important to me and what we have done with this team is cast steel. You can ask anyone across the world who is really the best team. They will say it is Indian cricket in all formats team.”
