“Crap, Planted Stories”: Ravi Shastri Lifts Lid On Conspiracy Against Hardik Pandya | Cricket News

They are the bosses. It's their entitlement as to who they want as captain. Okay, where I think this could have been handled better was with more clarity in communication," Shastri said told Star Sports' 'Cricket Live Show'."If you wanted Hardik Pandya as captain, then say that we are looking at the future.

“He’s A Human Being Like You”: Ravi Shastri’s Message To Mumbai Indians Fans Booing Hardik Pandya | Cricket News

“Keep Harassing…”: Ravi Shastri Tells R Ashwin But Anil Kumble ‘Perplexed’ | Cricket News

Ravi Shastri would like to see him harass batters for at least two more years while Anil Kumble finds it perplexing that he isn't a regular in India's overseas fixtures.

He has moved the craft of spin bowling through his hard work, dedication and innovation. That's a great legacy to have. Fantastic!
