The Indian head coach, Ravi Shastri has been spending quality time at home during the nationwide coronavirus lockdown. Sharing a glimpse of his daily routine, Shastri posted a couple of pictures on Twitter which shows him in a “social distancing huddle” surrounded by dogs.
In the first picture, former Indian all-rounder can be seen surrounded by five dogs, while the second picture shows one of the dogs, who Shastri refers to as the skipper, walking off in style, wearing a sunglass. Captioning the post, he wrote: “After me being given a dressing down in the social distancing huddle (meeting @ICC regulations), Skipper skipping off for a ground inspection after a light drizzle.”

The coronavirus lockdown has made Shastri go reminisce his playing days and his social media posts have been reflecting the same on a regular basis. Earlier this month, he recalled his first Test century on home turf which he had scored against England at the Wankhede Stadium in 1984. His knock of 142 runs from 323 balls, studded with 17 fours and one six, proved crucial as India beat England by eight wickets.

He had tweeted: “First on home turf and that too Wankhede in 1984. Super feeling to do it in front of your home crowd with my parents watching. Turned out to be match-winning. 142 vs England #Memories #Mumbai #Cricket.”

Praising his 1985 team, Shastri asserted that the class of the Indian side was such that it could trouble even the current team led by Virat Kohli.

During a ‘Sony Ten Pit Stop’ show on channel’s Facebook page, Ravi Shastri said, “No question about that. They (team of 85) will give any team that India puts up in white-ball cricket, a run for their money. That team of 85 will give this team a run for the money.”
