Ravi Shastri Lauds The Indian Team

Speaking after the 2nd Test, Ravi Shastri said, “No chat. When we came to Melbourne, we just said stand up and fight. “It’s a great present from the team to millions of supporters to have a very happy new year. This will go down in the annals of Indian and world cricket as one of the greatest comebacks. From being 36 all out to coming back in three days, the boys showed great composure.”

“We were blown away in Adelaide. When you’re blown away, you’re blown away. Against a team like Australia, you have to be good for 5 days, no point being good for just 1 or 2,” Shastri added.

The Indian Cricket Team has now levelled up in the series. They beat the mighty Australians in the Melbourne Test by 8 wickets. Indian skipper Ajinkya Rahane was awarded the Man of the Match for his outstanding knock in the first innings. Head coach Ravi Shastri was all praises for the side after their comprehensive win.
