Ravi Shastri's Tenure As ICT Head Coach

Ravi Shastri's tenure as the Indian Cricket Team Head Coach brought in a revolution, as the era marked the arrival of India as Test Cricket giants. Under the leadedship of Virat Kohli, and tutelage of Ravi Shastri, India touched new heights by breaking a series of records.

Ravi Shastri coached India to three ICC tournaments, 1 across each format. 2019 ODI World Cup proved to be a huge heartbreak, as India lost a nail-biter to New Zealand in the semi-final.

The 2021 World Test Championship Final ended on a sour note, as the Blackcaps thwarted India in a one-sided fixture.

The 2021 T20 World Cup proved to be a huge disaster, as the mega event marked the last assignment of Ravi Shastri as the head coach of the side.
