Ravi has always had a good cricketing brain. He understands what is needed in international cricket. 

 

Plus he is a very positive person and this rubs off on the whole team.

 

Plus he is a good man manager.

 

Plus he provides us with endless mirth with the bewda jokes that we crack.

 

I hope Ravi stays on as a coach for a few years.

Plus Ravi hates Australians and Englishmen and likes to give them back.. 

[putrevus]

He is better coach than any foreign coach we had ,he has built a team which has competed in all conditions. He was instrumental in getting Arun into the staff which has helped bowling a lot. But this team has failed in big matches also under his watch.

 

He has to win tournments and take the next step in sustaining the excellence. I don't know if he will last that long.

Ravi is a prime example of how positivity and attitude can make up for many deficiencies. 

 

He was one of the least talented cricketers to play for India. 

 

Yet as an "all-rounder" he scored 11 test tons to Kapil's mere 8 against some really good bowling ( even though Kapil played a little less than twice the number of tests as Ravi ) 

 

Most people would say that Kapil's talent with the bat was on another planet compared to Ravi.

 

Ravi is an awesome go getter.

Shastri has done exceptional job with the talent he has been given by the system.He is the guy made most of his talents. He has not been afraid to fail , by chosing guy Dhawan over Rahul in SA. Did he make some selection mistakes yes, he did ,he also made this team competitive in all conditions.Bigger question needs to be asked is Indian system generating good enough batsmen.Where are the batsmen in last decade. Kohli/Sharma came in before 2010 and Gill now.

Shastri was mocked and called all sorts of names. Now the team is not even competitive.I repeat is the system generating talented batsmen.IPL and all not nonsense is not going to guarantee anything.

agreed, shastri the cricketer did really maximize his talent, especially on batting front: a great 40+ avg as opener too. could have been a gun captain, but got virtually no opportunities. with that said, I was/am not fully sold on him as coach. he did bring in a good vibe, that is true

Only GOAT that ever existed @Ravi_Shastri

[nitinbwj]

He is what KL can never be. In your face fighter attitude and to give it back. KL and Dravid... Hahahaha.. Even Zim will queue up to beat this combination

[Frustrated]

In ODIs, our record under shastri was also miserable in SENA.   Take out that 5-1 win over SA,.  We hv lost odi series everywhere else.  Loss in Eng (1-2), NZ (0-3 whitewash) and Aus (1-2, being latest)

I miss this guy like a stray tracer bullet misses it's target.

Ghanta.. 

5-1 win vs SA..  4-1 win in NZ  2-1 win in Aus(2018)..  Only Asian team to do that in such a shiot time...  Check stats. 

T20 series win in every SENA nation as well.

Shastri's coaching track record, minus the knockouts was actually great. Never in it's history was an Indian team (or any Asian team) so consistent.

 

The fault of knockout losses lies more on the players, especially the senior ones. 

[putrevus]

Bharat Arun has been unsung hero for this team.He will be missed more than Shastri.Guy like Shami refused to give his coach any credit and let us see how long will will he last.Shastri fought over popular public opinion , everyone wanted Zak to be the bowling coach and Shastri said nothing doing.

 

Our great Dravid walks in and does he bring any of his coaches with him.

[vvvslaxman]

He exited correctly lol He knew what was coming.  This has become a dad's army now in all formats.   Dhawan/Rohit/Ashwin/Kohli/Shami/Ishant/Jadeja
