Kolkata: India was one of the winners of the World Cup until the 15-minute spell of New Zealand's fast bowlers in Manchester, and in the semi-final stage of the match, Man-in-Blue's score was ruined all over the world. Function. Head Coach Ravi Shastri would not have been led if the situation had gone down smoothly.

He has used the stick as much as he has in the past few years when he was hit by a low waist and today the Indian team is often compared to the Legendary Winds unit in the 1970s and 1980s.

Speaking against Bangladesh this time, after completing another series Whitewash, Shastri highlighted why he was forced to believe that the team could be a world beater, the future of MS. How Dhoni needs to leverage the capabilities of Rashabh Pant, and most importantly, the former cricketer is happy to take over as the BCCI's president in Saurav Ganguly.

Exiting the World Cup was a bitter pill to swallow, and Shastri says it's surprising that the boys decided they would not let them down and only strengthened from that worst day on July 9.

"To me, the intensity that this team has shown is amazing. The way they bounced back after those 15 minutes in Manchester. It was a bitter pill to swallow and hurt everybody. Later, the frequency and intensity that they have demonstrated in the last three months after that is incredible. This is remarkable and that's why I say that if you look back 6-years, it has to be all formatted. I have to be a permanent team in India.

The past cannot be changed, but the way forward is the World Twenty20 in 2020 and the win will go a long way in setting an incredible tag that has been given to the team under captain Virat Kohli. But then, the question on everyone's mind is whether MS. Dhoni they will fly. The coach wants to wait for everyone else until the IPL.

He said it depends on when he plays and how he plays during the IPL. What are the other guys doing with the wicket-keeping gloves, or what is the nature of these players versus Dhoni's form? The IPL becomes a massive tournament as it may be the last tournament after which you are judged by 15 or more.

"There may be a player who is in or out of injury and whatever. But your team says it will be known after the IPL. Instead of speculating what I would say. Who is it, wait for the IPL to end and then you are in the position of who is the best 17 in the country.

Speaking of the present era, this Indian team has moved from a strong to a strong one under the leadership of Shastri and Kohli and now we have another former captain, Ganguly, coming to BCCI as President.

The loud joy in the Eden Gardens was revealed when the two men - Shastri and Ganguly - signed off after winning the third afternoon. Known for speaking his mind, Shastri says he couldn't be more pleased to have a former cricketer take over as the BCCI's chief at such a crucial point.

"I think it's great. I was one of the first people to congratulate him on becoming president because I am happy that more importantly than anything, the BCCI has returned to put Indian cricket where it is both on and off the field. Belongs to And what made me even more happy was that a cricketer had to be supervised at this crucial stage of Indian cricket.

"And Sauror has been an outstanding player and captain, and as an administrator, his importance to him becomes more important," he explained.

From a former captain to a young Turk. Rishabh Pant is currently a hot topic in Indian cricket. While some people love it, others like to pull it off, but for Shastri, the boy has a superstar who just needs this cushion to sit and feel at home.

So what does he tell a pant? "nothing. Just tell her that you are young and no one expects that you will learn everything in one day. You are bound to make mistakes, but as long as you sit down and talk about ways to fix those mistakes, you know that this game will teach you. You're not going to be a superstar in a day. You have to have your ups and downs. That's life, but the more you work, the more sacrifices you make, the better you get.

How will this understanding come about? Does it help that he was a broadcaster before becoming a coach? Did this experience help prepare you for the challenges that come with understanding young people's psychology?

"I think it was a big help because I watched a lot of cricket. Truth be told, I have not lost anything in 40 years. It started with the game for Mumbai in 1980 and since then I have not missed a single season as a player, broadcaster and now coach. have seen
