Ravi Shastri has been appointed as the head coach of Indian cricket team. Ahead of the three-match Test series against Sri Lanka he had warned the team not to take the Dinesh Chandimal-led team lightly.
Shastri told the reporters that "You have to respect the team. If you look at their track record at home, it is as good as any side in world cricket, if not right after the best. We will not go to take them lightly. We are not going to take things for granted,"
"We would like to be consistent. So, that we keep that No.1 position in place. Above all, we will look to improve because if we don't look to improve then there is no point in playing. We will get to try and raise the bar in every series we play," he added.
Kohli said, "It is good to have balance in the side. If you are number one side in the world. You should be able to adapt to all the conditions put in front of you. And that is something we have done in the past. We would definitely like to embrace being uncomfortable. We enjoy being put under pressure and having conditions that might not suit us. We certainly have time to decide to counter."
