Aug 16, 2019 Sidharth Ravi Shastri's record as India's coach and his familiarity with Virat Kohli's team couldn't be ignored by the Kapil Dev-led Cricket Advisory Committee that also included former Test opener and coach Anshuman Gaekwad and former women's team captain Shantha Rangaswamy.
The Kapil Dev-led Cricket Advisory Committee (CAC) on Friday selected incumbent Ravi Shastri, ahead of Mike Hesson, Tom Moody, Lalchand Rajput and Robin Singh, as Indian cricket team's head coach
Aug 16, 2019 Outlook Web Bureau The three-member selection committee headed by Kapil Dev said Ravi Shastri won by a "very small margin" and the selection process was "completely transparent". Shastri will stay with the team until the T20 World Cup of 2021 to be played in India.
In 21 Tests since July 2017, under Ravi Shastri, the Indian cricket team won 13 of them. In T20Is, India registered 25 victories from 36 games with a win percentage of 69.44. The ODI record takes the cake with 43 wins in 60 games and a success rate of 71.67.
