Shastri is not a coach.
India have batting and bowling coach in Bangar and B Arun.
Shastri is just an overseer.
Still called Indian coach.

If the Champions Trophy was so important than it wouldn't have been scrapped.
Asia Cup, on the other hand has been happening since 1984.

Champions Trophy was on the verge of being scrapped since 2006. Such a prestigious tournament that the ICC was thinking of scrapping it since the last 12 years, and finally did it last year.If the Champions Trophy was so important than it wouldn't have been scrapped.
Asia Cup, on the other hand has been happening since 1984.
It is hilarious.. do we ever credit MS Dhoni for winning the Asia cup ? His captaincy career is glittered with trophies and CT 2013 is highlighted as his major achievement.
ICC is trying to scrap it due to some other reasons.. probably to keep only one global tournament in the form of WC.
It doesn't mean the teams taking part in CT take it less seriously.. do you imagine Kohli taking "rest" for CT ?
90 percent of cricket fans are from Asia. Very few from rest of the world care anyway

Really? Until now we Indians believed that the 2011 World Cup was his major achievement. Thanks for enlightening us.
Can you imagine Kohli taking "rest" for WC or CT like he did for Asia cup ? Asia cup was so insignificant that last time they converted it into T20.

Please don't change the topic. You said that 2013 CT is Dhoni's captaincy highlight. We Indians don't even deem that tournament victory anything significant to cherish.
Asia Cup is irrelevant, and so was Champions Trophy. And that's because it was a B class tournament for which ICC was mulling to scrap it since 2006.

Interesting times ahead.
Rohit's PR team is in full flow glorifying how great a captain he is going by the numerous media articles and support from ex-legends like Gavaskar and Dada.
So far Kohli-Rohit have not really been rivals but in the days things could come to a head.
Rohit's brother-in-law Bunty Sajdeh is the best sports management agent in India (has managed Kohli as well but perhaps they have parted ways and Anushka's agent works for Kohli now), we are likely to see a proper campaign on social media.

I am not changing the topic.. I mentioned Kohli point in my first post itself. You probably missed that part.
Indians were very happy and Ravi Ashwin even considers CT 2013 final as one of the best moments of his career..

To be fair to the Shastri bot, he has stepped in when needed for Indian cricket. He was the tour manager for us immediately after the 2007 WC debacle. And then he was the team director for two years when Duncan Fletcher was the coach. Prior to that he has also served as the Director at NCA managing a bunch of coaches. So he's been closely involved with Indian cricket
What goes against him is his overtly aggressive persona and the big boasting words he uses. He has appointed yes men as specialist coaches (Bangar, Arun and Sriram). Impression is no professional coach wants to work with him which is harming his own reputation despite good results which could have been better with inputs from more qualified specialist coaches.
"Stepped in when needed" is like saying he took up a well paying glamorous job in the name of a noble cause.

Not really. Immediately after 2007 WC, with Chappel sacked and fans going ballistic, he had the option of not getting involved.
Likewise, in 2014 , after the England Test series thrashing, with Joe Dawes and Trevor Penny sacked mid way into the series, to step into the Director's role was not really a 'glamorous job'.

Flabbergasted to realise that Shastri has fans. Not sure whether to get depressed or frustrated.

Exactly. He wasn't doing any charity. Just read somewhere that he is getting paid 2 crores something for 3 months. I don't think he has made that much money while playing cricket for india?
Dude not just that he makes 2 cr per quarter, he gets that entire money in advance. Ever heard of a job where you get paid 3 months in advance? So much so for sacrifices he's making!
You mean he had the option to decline a well paying job offer? Of course he had that option but he didn't excercise that and instead decided to take up a well paying job. How exactly does that make it any kind of sacrifice? If someone gets a good job offer, and he accepts that then really it's not a sacrifice of any kind, nor it's a sin. Most people evaluate the risk reward proposition of an offer and decide whether or not to say yes, simple.

Stop these rubbish. All tournaments are important. As afg and bd becoming more competitive asia cup becomes more exciting. Almost 175 million viewer is something.

Kyon bewal... sorry bawal, kar rahe ho, bhai. India is nowhere near being called one of the favourites for WC. The Pak team that played the Asia Cup is better equipped. However, I agree that the problems in Indian LOI setup are all self-manufactured by Indian selection committee and management.

This is the weakest Indian team in years, especially the batting so it's surprising that we won convincingly. The quality of cricket in Asia has come down considerably, only Afg is an exception.
