Ravi Shastri’s journey with the Indian team also came to an end after the end of the match against Namibia in the T20 World Cup-2021. At the same time, this was also the last T20 International match of Virat Kohli as captain. That is, the pair of Virat Kohli and Shastri, which continued for four years, has now come to a full stop.
How did the Indian team perform in these four years? In these four years, not a single ICC trophy came in India’s bag. In the 2017 Champions Trophy, India was knocked out after losing to Pakistan in the final. In the 2019 World Cup Cricket, New Zealand defeated India in the semi-finals. The Kiwi team also lost in the final of the 2021 World Test Championship. And after that she was also out of the group league of T20 World Cup-2021. In these 4 years, Team India got four chances in ICC events but could not capture the title even once.
If this is not failure then what is?
However, along with the supporters of Ravi Shastri and Virat Kohli, there are many other cricket knowers who put forward a different opinion and say that the pair of Ravi Shastri and Virat Kohli is a successful pair. In the last four years, the Indian team has won 64.02 percent of the matches in all formats in international cricket. No team has touched this figure in the last four years.
Duncan Fletcher and Gary Kirsten were also not so successful in terms of total wins. The pair of Ravi Shastri and Kohli have won almost 58 per cent of Test matches in the last four years. Although Ajinkya Rahane has also captained in some matches.
Team India won two test series in Australia during this period. He took a 2-1 lead in the Test series in England in August-September this year. Talking about Test cricket, under the coaching of Duncan Fletcher, the Indian team had won only 2 out of 24 matches outside the country. At the same time, Team India had won outside the country in 6 matches during Kirsten’s time.
Although both Kirsten and Fletcher have titles of ICC events associated with their names. Before the match against Namibia, Ravi Shastri said that when I started this work, my goal was to do something special, I think I did something special too. In the last 5 years, these players have done so well in all formats that we are now one of the best teams in the world in cricket history. Whatever Shastri may say, critics do not fully agree that the Indian team was successful in his coaching due to the constant failure in ICC tournaments.
