Ravi Shastri fires tracer bullets after India's historic victory in Australia

Indian coach Ravi Shastri is at it again as he has said something that is debatable in the post-match press conference after the completion of the SCG Test.

Shastri has compared the series win in Australia to the 1983 World Cup win and the 1985 World Championship of Cricket. He said that this series win is as big as, or even bigger than the other two because it came in the truest format of the game, Test cricket.

"I will tell you how satisfying it is for me. World Cup 1983, World Championship of Cricket 1985 this is as big, or even bigger because it is in the truest (Test) format of the game. It's Test cricket, which is meant to be the toughest. Past is history, future is a mystery. We have won today after 71 years and I'd like to live in the present. And salute my captain for being the captain of the team that beat Australia for the first time in Australia in a series," Shastri said.

His statement has created a lot of buzz on social media yet again.
