Shastri

His quick reflexes and deft glovework earned him the nickname "pickpocket" from former Indian coach Ravi Shastri.

Former Indian captains Sunil Gavaskar and Shastri have frequently hailed him as India's finest cricketer ever.

This may limit opportunities for young players, both Indian and overseas, but Ravi Shastri dismisses this argument.

Former India captain Ravi Shastri and ex-England skipper Kevin Pietersen questioned England's preparation and suggested they had not spent enough time in the nets.

Shastri, who played for India between 1981 and 1992 and then coached the team from 2017 to 2021, believes the changes are necessary to keep the Test format as the pinnacle.
