DTVHINDI“Is Ravi Shastri a ‘yes man’?”, when captain Virat Kohli got angry at the media’s question, he gave a befitting reply
I have made more changes to my game by listening to him (Ravi Shastri) than anyone else in the past – Virat Kohli Ravi Shastri & Virat Kohli (Photo Source: Getty Images) Former Indian cricketer Ravi Shastri was the director of the Indian team from 2014-16, after which he was appointed the head coach of the team in 2017. Ravi Shastri replaced Anil Kumble, who resigned from the post after a one-year tenure. According to reports, after the rift with Anil Kumble, Virat Kohli was adamant on making Shastri the coach. During the tenure of former Indian head coach Ravi Shastri, it was often said that he is a ‘yes man’, meaning he agrees with captain Kohli. In 2018, during the press conference before the Australia tour, Virat Kohli was asked whether Ravi Shastri is a ‘yes man’? Kohli called the question bizarre and responded by calling Shastri a man of integrity and said that he often rejects his ideas in favor of the team. I can take the right advice from him- Virat Kohli According to ESPNcricinfo, Virat Kohli replied in the press conference saying, About saying ‘yes’ all the time, that’s the weirdest thing I’ve heard, I don’t think there’s anyone in Indian cricket who has said ‘no’ to me more than him. Honestly, because he’s someone I can talk to and get a genuine opinion and he’ll tell me something that if it doesn’t need to be done, it doesn’t need to be done. I’ve made more changes to my game by listening to him than anyone else in the past. Ravi Shastri was the head coach of the Indian team from 2017 to 2021. Let us tell you, in 2017 itself, Virat Kohli was appointed captain of all three formats. A new era of Indian Test cricket began under the duo. The team won 22 out of 39 Tests. In 2021, India won the Test series in Australia for the first time and the team was the number-1 team in the ICC Test rankings from 2017-2021.

Jasprit Bumrah (Photo Source: X/Twitter) Former player and former head coach of India Ravi Shastri has praised Jasprit Bumrah’s performance in the ICC T20 World Cup 2024. Let us tell you, Jasprit Bumrah took a total of 15 wickets in eight matches in this important tournament. He bowled very well throughout this tournament and constantly put pressure against the batsmen of the opposing team. Talking about the Indian team, they did not lose even a single match in the ICC T20 World Cup 2024. Not only this, he bowled lethally in the last overs against Pakistan and South Africa in the final and put the match in India’s bag. Ravi Shastri said on the ICC review, ‘I think the match played between India and Pakistan was the most exciting match of this tournament. In this match, India gave a tough challenge and they got to know with which combination they have to play further in this tournament. Not only this, the last five overs were also very important in the final match of ICC T20 World Cup 2024. Jasprit Bumrah took the wicket of Mohammad Rizwan at a crucial time in the match played against Pakistan, after which India took the lead in the match. All this happened during the first ball of the new spell. Ravi Shastri praised Jasprit Bumrah a lot Ravi Shastri further said, ‘Jasprit Bumrah has told the world what you should do with the ball whenever it is in your hand. Very few people have done this. Wasim Akram and Waqar Younus have done this in their high level days when they used to play white ball cricket. This could also be seen with Shane Warne, he knew where the ball would pitch and hit the wicket. Players who recognize the ability of their game are able to do this. Something similar was seen with Jasprit Bumrah in this World Cup.’ Regarding Rishabh Pant, Ravi Shastri said, ‘He did his job well with the bat and surprised everyone with his wicketkeeping. It is very difficult for anyone to recover so quickly and then move forward like this. He too must have felt a lot of pressure in this tournament because it is not easy for any player to make a comeback so quickly.’ 5 Australian players who scored half-century in their debut IPL match IPL 2024: These 11 foreign players took crores of rupees but flopped IPL 2024: 5 players who hit the most sixes in the 19th and 20th overs of IPL 5 fastest bowlers in IPL history Who are the head coaches of all 10 teams in IPL 2024?

Rohit Sharma and MS Dhoni are equal when it comes to strategy in white-ball games: Ravi Shastri Rohit Sharma MS Dhoni (Photo Source: Getty Images) Under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma, India ended the 11-year ICC drought and won the T20 World Cup 2024 title. Rohit Sharma’s captaincy is being discussed a lot in the cricket world. Former Indian coach Ravi Shastri is also praising Rohit fiercely. Ravi Shastri has described Rohit Sharma as an all-time great and said that his captaincy is as special as the great Indian captain MS Dhoni. When it comes to strategy in white ball cricket, both are equal- Ravi Shastri Ravi Shastri says that both Rohit Sharma and MS Dhoni have displayed tactical skills, which is why both are great captains. Speaking on the new episode of ICC Review, Shastri said, As a tactician, we should not forget that he has been an outstanding person. He will go down as one of the best captains of all time along with Dhoni. If you ask me who is better, I would say both are equal when it comes to tactics in white-ball games. I cannot give Rohit a bigger compliment than this because you know what MS has done and what titles he has won. Ravi Shastri further praised Rohit Sharma’s achievements as a batsman. Hitman has scored 14,846 runs for India in white ball cricket, which includes 3 double centuries, 33 centuries and 87 half-centuries. He is a legend in the white-ball game. One of the all-time greats, he would be a part of any white-ball team, regardless of the era. His dynamic ability alone puts him at the top.

“He should play whatever T20 cricket there is”- Ravi Shastri gives important advice to Hardik Pandya to improve his fitness
Former Team India head coach Ravi Shastri has advised Hardik Pandya to improve his fitness. He has asked Pandya to focus especially on bowling fitness. 30-year-old Hardik has had to struggle with injuries many times in his 8-year career. Last year, Hardik had to be out of the ODI World Cup midway due to an ankle injury. At the same time, Chief Selector Ajit Agarkar also cited Hardik’s fitness as the reason behind removing him from the T20 captaincy. In a conversation with ICC, Ravi Shastri has advised Hardik Pandya that he should play as many T20s as possible to make a comeback in the ODI team. Shastri said, “In my opinion, it is very important that he continues to play. I believe that match fitness is important. So he should play as much T20 cricket as possible. And if he is fit and feeling better, then he should also come in the ODI team.” Meanwhile, Shastri also stressed on Pandya bowling his full quota of overs in ODI cricket. He said, “If you have a player who is bowling only 3-4 overs instead of 10 overs in ODIs, it disturbs the balance of the team. If you bowl 7-8 overs in most of the matches and the way Pandya bats, it becomes a bonus for the team.” Hardik was sidelined from Test cricket in 2018 due to a back injury. He recovered without surgery and was included in the 2019 ODI World Cup squad, but the injury resurfaced later that year and he had to undergo surgery that year. He later returned to the field in 2021, but was included in the T20 World Cup squad only as a batsman, which cost the Indian team dearly. More recently, Hardik suffered an ankle injury during India’s fourth game in the ODI World Cup last year, which kept him away from cricket for a long time. He then returned as captain in IPL 2024 but his performance this season was very poor. He made a brilliant comeback in the T20 World Cup last month with a brilliant all-round performance, including the final match, where he dismissed the dangerous Heinrich Klaasen and then David Miller in the death overs to guide the team to victory.

Campbell started running back towards the non-striker end but Ravi Bishnoi caught the ball and immediately threw it towards the non-striker end and the Zimbabwean player was run out. Sikandar Raza himself looked very disappointed with his mistake.

Currently India is leading 2-1 in this T20 series. If India wins this fourth T20 match as well, then it will win this series. On the other hand, if Zimbabwe wants to remain in this series, then it is very important for them to win this match. This is a T20 series of 5 matches. Both the teams would definitely want to win this fourth T20.
