As the year 2018 is just three hours away, team India‘s head coach Ravi Shastri, who has been active on social media platform, is in South Africa with his wards to celebrate the New Year which further saw him turning himself into a disc jockey to wish his fans and followers, before his Twitter post flooded with the response when he was termed as the ‘DJ wale Babu’.

On December 31, Shastri took to Twitter – to wish the world ‘Happy New Year’ in his way of using the phrases.

Moreover, Shastri posted the photo of himself before the audio mixer which is used by a DJ while entertaining the audience.

“Happy New Year all. Have a kick-ass year. God Bless,” Shastri wrote on his official Twitter handle.

The former India cricketer Shastri has already revealed they are going to give their best in the impending long Proteas tour, as he was seen in a celebratory mood.

Interestingly, the Twitter user who goes by the name of Pooja responded Shastri by saying: “Dj wale babu mera gaana chala de” after another Twitter user, Ajuyal called Shastri as: “DJ wale Babu”.

Talking about the cricketing schedule, India is bound to play three Tests, six One-day Internationals and three Twenty20 Internationals and the bilateral series will be beginning with the first Test at Newlands in Cape Town on January 5 (Friday).

The 55-year-old Shastri has already remarked the boys are ready to deliver and the games to be played on the South African soil will be considered home games which would somewhat help the visitors to rely on such kind of a mindset.

Before leaving from Mumbai, Shastri expressed satisfaction with the squad while adding the balanced side which includes senior campaigners would want to make things tough for the hosts owing to the daunting challenge.

Earlier, Shastri succeeded Anil Kumble as a chief coach, and the former was Team Director in 2015 which further saw Virat Kohli-led side delivering goods at home
