Unlike India captain Virat Kohli, head coach Ravi Shastri decided to speak on the highly-debated Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA). Last week, Virat Kohli had refused to give his opinion on the matter, saying that he would not do so until and unless he has the complete knowledge of it. But unlike Kohli, Ravi Shastri decided to go ahead and speak his mind out on the topic.

The head coach considers that the recent amendments will see “plenty of positives coming out of it in the long run”. In an interview with CNN-News18, Shastri threw his weight behind the Citizenship Amendment Act by urging people to think like an Indian and trust that the central government must have given due diligence to the outcomes before going ahead with the bill.

“Ever since I was 18 years of age I played for India, so I think Indian. I don’t think what nationality, yeh, woh’ (this or that) because in my team also there were all sorts. Different castes, different religions,” said Ravi Shastri.

“I say guys be patient because I can see plenty of positives coming out of it in the long run. Think Indian, don’t think I am this, I am that. Think Indian and there are benefits coming your way. I am sure the government has thought about it. Now it is about the implementation. If there are still things that need to be tweaked here or there I am sure they will do it. For the benefit of India, for the benefit of Indians. I am speaking as an Indian here,” he added.
