Shastri eyes another transition under his tenure
Following his re-appointment, Shastri said that he would be looking for another transition with the team, by bringing in more youngsters across formats, and also adding fresh new bowlers to the side. "My endeavor by the end of this tenure would be to leave the team in a happier space so that they can set a legacy in the time to come," he added.
"You've got to learn from your mistakes, nobody is perfect"
"You've got to learn from your mistakes, nobody is perfect. When you strive for excellence and strive to raise the bar, then you have to pay attention to detail," concluded Shastri.
Shastri to remain in charge until 2021
Following his re-appointment, Shastri is set to continue as Team India head coach for the next 26 months. This would keep him at the helm until 2021, at least until the ICC World T20, which would be hosted by India. While his team has come off a successful stint in the Caribbean, the side would next be taking on South Africa at home.
