Heck, he was on commentary when Yuvraj Singh hit six sixes, and when India won the last three World Cups. “Dhoni finishes off in style,” and “India win the World Cup after 28 years” will always reverberate in the ears of the most ardent Indian cricket fans. Hence, on Sunday night, when India were just one wicket away from victory, and Shastri was on air, it was believed that he would once again deliver an immortal line that wou However, when Abhishek Sharma picked up New Zealand’s last wicket – Jacob Duffy out caught in the deep by Tilak Varma – to seal India's victory, Shastri flattered to deceive. It was almost as if the former India head coach had lost track of what had happened. A moment that should have been celebrated wildly, and promises a bang, ended up in a whimper as Shastri mistook the last wicket to be the penultimate. “Taken in the deep. The ninth wicket goes down,” said Shastri, before realising his mistake. “And it’s all done, actually. It’s India who win the World Cup for the third time. The first team to win back-to-back World Cups and the first hosts to win the T20 World Cup on their home turf. It’s a fantastic performance for India.” ld live in the hearts of fans for years to come. Ravi Shastri tried but… Shastri tried his best to recover from the fumble, but it was too late as the audience on X quickly jumped on him for ‘ruining’ India’s T20 World Cup-winning moment. Here are some of the reactions.
goose Posted March 9 Posted March 9 it's like his english book of idioms got corrupted by malware ! other cock ups : 'there's surya in the blue corner leaving lane 1 like a tracer bullet' - vomit! at toss time when the coin fell he looked to the match ref and blurted 'wotsit' the most english thing to do now would be to self deprecate and acknowledge the cock up to diffuse the shame he has brought upon himself !! putrevus 1
vvvslaxman Posted March 9 Author Posted March 9 He had Bopara moment lol. But Ranjith Fernando one has made my life happier though
deepdynamo Posted March 9 Posted March 9 Shastri and Gavaskar should hang their boots now. They have squeezed the broadcasting industry for around 35 years now after their retirements. They have nothing new to offer to listeners- same old vocabluary, stale analysis and cringe humour. BacktoCricaddict 1

NameGoesHere Posted March 9 Posted March 9 (edited) Shastri was a not to be forgotten jarring note that made audiences pause their celebrations. My at the time: “Yay we won! Wait wut wut only 9 only down? No, no Yay we won!” Shastri got off easy - because we were winning easy. Imagine if it had been a close game and India needing one wicket only with 2-3 runs needed by NZ. And then the bewda says that ****. Vishwaguru ji khud uski ski supari nikaal dete.
