- Aggression – The never say die attitude:
One thing guaranteed with Ravi Shastri is that in Indian dressing room; the lads’ never say die approach. Even in his brief tenure as the team director, India put on show some memorable displays of sheer resilience and determination, at a time when all odds were placed against them. In the lead up the 2015 World Cup, India had been shattered in the tri series, but roared back to life in the main event, as the side bulldozed all oppositions in all their games till the semi final. A few months after that, India were 0-1 down in Sri Lanka, but with the Mumbai legend around, India went on to win the series 2-1, making a daunting comeback from behind and stunning everyone. Not to forget, in early 2016, after being routed 4-1 in the ODI series, India went on to create history Down Under, as the team became the first ever side to whitewash Australia in their own backyard. The T20I series was won by India by a fair and square margin of 3-0. With Shastri around thus, India will always play without the fear of the result, and that will bring out the best within the team.
