Team India has tasted victory in various bilateral series under the guidance of coach Ravi Shastri. The Men in Blue defeated England across all formats at home to reach the final of the World Test Championship (WTC). India also emerged victorious in the Border-Gavaskar series in Australia twice. The international circuit has praised Shastri for his management, however, the former cricketer has been missing out on the ICC trophy. The captains and coaches are judged on the basis of the number of ICC events they have won and sadly for Shastri, he is yearning to get his hands on the ICC trophy. His contract is set to expire after the T20 World Cup in the United Arab Emirates and there is little chance that his tenure as head coach will be extended.
