Shastri’s reply quickly gained traction and within an hour, it went viral with over 5,000 likes and nearly 900 retweets.
Another user said, “Sir my mom is a big fan of yours!”
Shastri replied, “Tell your mom I said en ;)”.
Meanwhile, Shastri revealed that he used to argue with senior pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar during his time with the Indian team over the fast bowler’s fitness.
“Every time I meet Bhuvi (Bhuvneshwar Kumar), I have an argument with him. I say, if he can only focus and work harder on his fitness… his experience and ability in all formats of the game is remarkable. Every time we toured England or New Zealand, the guy was unfit,” Shastri told ESPNCricinfo,
“I said, ‘you lost yourself 50 red ball wickets in the last couple of years’. If he stays fit, he is an automatic choice in the Indian team, forget Sunrisers,” he added.
