The Kapil Dev-led Cricket Advisory Committee (CAC) reappointed Ravi Shastri as Team India’s Head Coach. However, many cricket fans seem not so happy with the reappointment.
As soon as the decision was made public, fans came in huge numbers to express their displeasure. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) had handed the responsibility of choosing the next head coach of the Indian team to CAC comprising Kapil Dev, Anshuman Gaekwad and Shantha Rangaswamy.
While many slammed the BCCI directly, saying that they were anything but sure of Ravi Shastri’s reappointment, others criticised the CAC calling their decision a “farce”.

In a world that is so unpredictable, there was but one certainty. No surprise that Ravi Shastri continues as coach of the Indian team.

Shastri was re-appointed for a two-year period by the CAC, a decision that was expected. His term will again be up for review after the 2021 T20 World Cup in India.
Shastri pipped former India teammates Robin Singh and Lalchand Rajput along with former New Zealand coach Mike Hesson and Australian Tom Moody to the post. Former West Indies and Afghanistan coach Phil Simmons pulled out of the race, citing personal reasons.
