Virat Kohli, it can be recalled, wanted Ravi Shastri to coach the team after Anil Kumble's exit. Pundits have also criticised Shastri's lack of tactical acumen as a coach following overseas defeats in South Africa and England this year

Virat Kohli jumped to the defence of head coach Ravi Shastri, who is often perceived to be a 'yes' man to the Indian skipper.
"It is the most bizarre thing that I have heard. I don't think anyone has said no to me more than him in Indian cricket. Honestly, he is one guy I can speak to and get an honest opinion. If there is something that doesn't need to be done, it doesn't need to be done. I have made more changes to my game listening to him than anyone else. We are not going to hold a banner and say this is what we are doing [though]," said Kohli yesterday.
