Ravi Shastri

About

Ravishankar Jayadritha Shastri is an Indian cricket commentator, former professional cricketer and former head coach of the India national cricket team. As a player, he played for the India national cricket team between 1981 and 1992 in both Test matches and One Day Internationals. Although he started his career as a left arm spin bowler, he later transformed into a batting all-rounder. Shastri was a member of the Indian team that won the 1983 Cricket World Cup. He won the C. K. Nayudu Lifetime Achievement Award at the Indian cricket team annual award show NAMAN in 2024. As a cricketer, Shastri was essentially defensive with his trademark "chapati", but he could raise his strike rate when required. Due to his above-average height and an upright stance, he had a limited number of shots against fast bowling, but was able to put the lofted shot to good use against spin bowling. Ravi played either as an opening batsman or in the middle order. Read more
