Ravi Shastri, former Indian cricket team head coach, has got a reputation of being a flamboyant personality. Always the one to speak his mind, Shastri has been a colorful character in Indian cricket for years now.
Along with it, Shastri became well known to make bold predictions during his time with Team India. Under him, the side reached great heights in Test cricket which included winning two Test series in Australia.
Now, it has emerged that Shastri can give out of the box pep talks too. Former India wicketkeeper Parthiv Patel recently revealed how Shastri egged him to do well in the 2017-18 Tour of South Africa.
In the third and final Test, Patel batted at No. 6 in the first innings. In the second innings, India needed an opener and Patel was promoted.
