shastri book launch: ravi shastri ne book launch par kaha sab kuchh to khula hai

Team India’s head coach Ravi Shastri has responded to the allegations against him that he became a victim of Kovid-19 during his book launch program. After Shastri, three members of Team India’s support staff were also found positive. After this the last Test match of the series between India and England in Manchester was canceled.

After this, a section of the English media targeted Ravi Shastri for organizing the book launch event. The event took place on 1 September. There were also reports in the Indian media that the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is also very angry with coach Shastri and captain Virat Kohli.

Speaking to the English newspaper Mid-Day, Shastri said that the entire United Kingdom is ‘open’ and there are no restrictions of any kind.

In response to the allegations leveled against him, he said, ‘The whole country is open. Anything could have happened from the first Test as well.

Apart from Shastri, bowling coach Bharat Arun, fielding coach R. Sridhar and physiotherapist Dr Nitin Patel were sent to isolation from the fourth test itself. But before the Manchester Test, assistant physio Yogesh Parmar was also found to be Kovid-19 positive. After this the Manchester Test was cancelled.

Shastri praised Kohli and Co. for the Indian team’s stellar performance in England. He said, ‘The England audience must have seen such good cricket after a long time and certainly from an Indian team. It’s covid time but it’s a good game. The Indian team showed a great game by the players on both sides of the river Thames.

It should be noted here that Shastri was referring to the performance of the Indian team at Lord’s and The Oval. India won both the grounds. The River Thames flows through the City of London, with the Oval on one side and the Lord’s Plain on the other.

The Indian team won the Test series 2–1 in Australia before winning in England. This was India’s second consecutive Test series win in Australia.

Shastri said, ‘No team has shown such a game in Kovid as India has shown in Australia and England. Ask any expert here.
