Watch: Shocking Old Video Of Ravi Shastri Resurfaces, Showing India Coach Abusing Kapil Dev

The Kapil Dev-led Cricket Advisory Committee recently picked Ravi Shastri as the head coach of the Team India.

Shastri left behind the likes of Tom Moody, Mike Hesson, Lalchand Rajput and Robin Singh to retain his post.
