5 quotes by Ravi Shastri: A man who doesn't mince words

#3 On the perceived response to India's performance

His statement created quite a stir in the media

As soon as Ravi Shastri returned to India after the South Africa tour, he grabbed the headlines through his controversial statements. In an interview given to a newspaper, Shastri raised questions about the response (of the fans and experts) to India's performance.

Particularly, his statement that 'people are happy when you lose' ruffled a few feathers.

"This is the biggest problem with our critics. When you win, the other team is not playing well. When you win in Sri Lanka, they are a weak team. When you play South Africa, they are not at their best. Remember, a team is only as good as you allow it to be. It’s as simple as that," sulked the veteran commentator.
