- Kohli – Shastri combo will take Indian cricket to new heights:
It was no secret that Ravi Shastri was Virat Kohli’s preferred candidate for the role of the head coach. There was a precise reason behind that as well, since Shastri played a crucial role in resurrecting Kohli’s Test career, after the batsman was found out in England in 2014. The then team director worked on the minute details of Kohli’s batting and the result was there for everyone to see as Kohli bossed Australia in their own backyard with over 600 runs in the Test series. This combination is the one which has everything it needs, to take Indian cricket to heights that haven’t been scaled together. For a side to be successful, it is important that the coach and captain have a clear understanding of the scenario. That aspect is well taken care of when Kohli and Shastri are around together.
