Shastri played 80 Tests and 150 ODIs for the country, scoring 3,830 and 3,108 runs respectively in the two formats. He was also a fine spinner as he scalped 151 and 129 wickets in Tests and ODIs respectively.
Shastri was also part of the Indian team that created history in England by lifting the 1983 World Cup. While donning the hat of a commentator after pulling down curtains over his illustrious cricket career, Shastri lent his voice to two of the most iconic moments in Indian cricket history - 2007 WT20 win and 2011 World Cup victory.
Shastri is currently in his second stint as head coach of Team India and his contract expires after the 2021 T20 World Cup.
