KRK Takes A Dig At New India Coach Ravi Shastri

Following Ravi Shastri‘s appointment as Team India coach, Bollywood critic Kamaal Rashid Khan aka KRK has launched an scathing attack towards the newly-appointed head coach and India skipper Virat Kohli.

The BCCI, on Tuesday (July 11), revealed Anil Kumble‘s replacement, ending the long drama that had begun even before the start of the Champions Trophy with reports suggesting all was not well between Kohli and the then coach Kumble. The alleged rift between Kohli and Kumble ended just a couple of days after the Champions Trophy when the latter stepped down from his post, citing Kohli’s reservations over his style.

And with Kumble stepping down on an unexpected note, BCCI was forced to invite applications again which saw Shastri applying for the job. As soon as Shastri submitted his applications, speculations were high that the former team director would get the post especially after Kumble’s acrimonious exit. The Cricket Advisory Committee comprising of Sachin Tendulkar, Sourav Ganguly and VVS Laxman would have certainly wanted to avoid another Kohli-Kumble like episode and Shastri was the perfect man for it.

He was a popular figure in the dressing during his tenure as the director between 2014 and 2016 and shared a good equation with Kohli. Moreover, Shastri’s track record was also decent and the CAC did not spring any surprise as they chose him to become India’s next head coach.

However, the CAC sprung a huge surprise by naming former players Zaheer Khan and Rahul Dravid as bowling and batting consultants for overseas Test tours respectively. The decision has raised many eyebrows and KRK has now taken a dig at Kohli and Shastri for the same.

The Bollywood personality who has not squandered a single chance to criticise Kohli in recent months tweeted a series of posts to take another shot at the India skipper along with the newly-appointed coach.
