Former Team India coach Ravi Shastri enjoyed a successful tenure with the side as under his reign, India managed to win two Test series in Australia and they were also leading the series in England.
However, the side failed to go all the way in an ICC tournament. During a rain delay on Day 2 of the ongoing rescheduled fifth Test against England at Edgbaston, Birmingham, Shastri spoke in detail about his tenure and how Rahul Dravid is the right man after him to coach the senior side. "I think it was very rewarding, it can be a thankless job because you are judged everyday of your life by 1.4 billion people only.
There is no hiding away from it, there is nothing to hide behind. You face the bullet, performances matter day in and day out.
You got to win. The expectations are big, but the way the boys responded, when I look back at my tenure, those seven years when I was there, I am proud that I had a team that responded in the fashion they did.
