Fans Want Ravi Shastri Sacked Despite India's Impressive Performances In Asia Cup

India head coach Ravi Shastri just cannot get rid of  the recent criticism. The former India allrounder is facing the heat since India’s woeful performance in Tests against England.

Hopes were high from the current India side when this year began. After thoroughly dominating the last couple of years at home, this was the year which could have truly justified India’s number one ranking in Tesst. With series against South Africa, England and Australia lined up, good showing in tough overseas conditions would have enhanced India’s reputation.

However, the current team also failed to end India’s recent woes outside the country. They began the year with a 2-1 defeat in South Africa. And the condition only worsened in England with a heavy 4-1 defeat.

A lot was expected from the current team but they too have failed to deliver. Virat Kohli & Co. have already lost in South Africa and England this year and will visit Australia later this year. India’s last series win in those countries came back in 2009 when they had defeated New Zealand 1-0 in a three-match series.

The only positive for India from South Africa and England series this year is that they were competitive. However, failure to capitalise on opportunities have cost the team dear. And the series defeats have not surprisingly attracted widespread criticism.

Shastri, however, would have hoped of getting a break from the criticism after India’s impressive performances in the ongoing Asia Cup. The Men in Blue proved their title-credentials by thrashing arch-rivals and fellow-contenders Pakistan.  However, the fans have yet not forgotten India’s woeful performances in England and took to Twitter to ask for Shastri’s sacking:
