A couple of days after Virat Kohli decides to give up T20 Captaincy, rumours are that Ravi Shastri will give up head coach position. Ravi Shastri more or less confirmed that he is likely to step down as India head coach after the T20 World Cup in UAE and Oman in October-November this year. A cryptic “I believe so because I’ve achieved all I wanted,” says Ravi Shastri.
At present, Shastri is the Indian Cricket Team head coach. Under his guidance, firstly India has done very well. Secondly, team India has been able to win the series against the teams in their own soil. Ravi Shastri also believes that whether COVID-19 or not, the team is really looking to win and score runs.
Delighted, head coach added that to beat Australia away and to lead the series in England in a Covid year? It is the most satisfying moment of his four decades in cricket.
Meanwhile, reports also suggested that BCCI have thought of approaching former captain Anil Kumble and batsman VVS Laxman to apply for the head coach’s position once Shastri’s contract ends at the completion of the T20 World Cup.
Shastri also added that coaching an Indian cricket is almost like coaching the football team in Brazil or England. There is always pressure to win and deliver.
