basically Kohli and Shastri signed off on the squad which had the squad + backups + net players

Now they are requesting for 2 more additional openers after Gill injury. They already have Rohit,Mayanak,Rahul and Easwaran but they asked for 2 more openers in Shaw and Paddikal.

 

the selectors asked them to F.O and this has been a recurring issue with them.

Yeah he did well and was reasonable in the Australia series when kohli was not there. I don't think he is the problem

We did well in Australia because youngsters played out of their skin. Ravi Shastri’s pep talks don’t change just because Kohli isn’t around.

No, Coach doesn’t do pep talk. His job is to plan, strategise and find out chink in oppositions players armour and let captain know if they are willing to listen. The so called pep talk is letting each individual know minimum expectations from them.

Skill development is done by specialist coaches.

So, I don’t buy this blind pep talk arguement at all. I feel Shashtri has drinking problem but he is effin shrewd person.
