“When you see Dhoni captaining a side, and you see Chennai Super Kings (CSK), there’s that assurance and calmness of things in control. The other side might me whacking sixes or fours but you still get the feeling there is this composure and control,” Shastri concluded.
The Indian cricket team is all set to get a new head coach after the T20 World Cup. Several media reports have suggested that Ravi Shastri will submit his resignation after his contract as team India's head coach ends post the T20 World Cup.
As per a report in PTI, Sourav Ganguly-led BCCI might approach Anil Kumble and VVS Laxman to apply for team India's head coach position once Ravi Shastri completes his tenure after the T20 World Cup.
