5 aspects addressed by Kohli & Shastri before the Australia tour

#4 India's progress in all 3 formats under Ravi Shastri

India has played limited overs cricket exceptionally well this year.

The beginning of the year presented with itself a lot of opportunities for the Indian team to make this a memorable cricketing year by winning series' in South Africa and England. This Indian team had something that no other team ever had before - an army of genuinely quick fast bowlers, and actually had a realistic chance to win series' away, something that captain Kohli prioritized immensely.

However, due to tactical errors more than on-field mistakes, India lost 2-1 in South Africa and 4-1 in England. The scorelines did not indicate the kind of cricket India played, yet, however well you play, the results tell the true story.

Coach Ravi Shastri was severely criticized by many for India's scoreline. Responding to the criticisms, Shastri said " I see a lot of progress across all formats, and I say that despite the scoreline in England. When you see at actual performances across formats, in foreign conditions, I'm more than happy. It's still a learning process. If we learn from our mistakes in South Africa and England, it will hold is in good stead in Australia."
