Meanwhile, India would like to keep raising the bar under the tutelage of Ravi Shastri. Shastri has an impressive record as he has taken Indian cricket to new heights. The head coach shares a great bonhomie with Indian captain Virat Kohli and the rest of the team members.

However, India hasn’t been able to cross the last hurdle as they crumbled at the semi-final stage. Thus, Shastri will like to pull up the socks and delivered the results which are expected from the Indian team.
