Indian cricket team’s performance in the recent test series against England has been highly criticised. After the team lost the 4th match and the series against England, everyone has been talking about how the strategies need to be changed and loopholes need to be filled.
However, the team’s coach Ravi Shastri has come ahead in the defence of the team very strongly, so much so that he called it the strongest team in the last 15-20 years.
Ravi said that the current Indian team put up a good show overseas than any Indian team in the last 15-20 years. He also said the current team has won nine matches overseas besides three series and that’s something never achieved before by any team.
This statement of Ravi has not gone down well with Twitterati who has been trolling him badly. Have a look at some reactions-

'No other Indian team in last 15-20 years has had the same run as this one'
The series could easily have been 3-1 in India's favour – Ravi Shastri

Ravi Shastri in PC: "Last three years, we won nine matches overseas and three series. I can’t see any other Indian team in the last 15-20 years who’ve had that kind of run in such a short time. And you’ve had some great players in those series."
Those series? Vs WI, SL & SL.

Someone please ask Ravi shastri what his contribution is to this Indian team other than being an overconfident dooshbag in his media appearances.India made some huge tactical errors in this game. Not playing sweep against Moeen. Ashwin bowling far quicker than he should have.

We need a tough taskmaster like Kumble and Dravid or a leader like Ganguly who have the guts to take the responsibility and give the team perfect motivation to win abroad. Right now Ravi Shastri is just there to satisfy the over inflated egos of the seniors in the team.

Do you think Ravi Shastri is right?
