Flamboyant, brash, aggressive, expressive, and talented. Probably some of the few words that describe Ravi Shastri, the current Head Coach of the Indian team.

How many times have you seen a player starting as a left-arm spinner becoming the opening batsman of a team? Rare, very rare. Right?. Ravi Shastri is one such prime example.

He started as a left-arm orthodox batting at No.10. However, promotions were bound to happen as Ravi Shastri ended up trying all positions in the batting order by the end of his career. Although having tried many batting positions, Shastri ended up scoring a deluge of runs in Test cricket.

Ravi Shastri made 80 Test appearances for the Indian team. In his 80 Test matches, Shastri amassed 3830 runs at an average of 35.79. His Test accolades also include 11 centuries, a double-century, and 12 half-centuries.
