Sports means team work and that is what exactly feels team India’s director Ravi Shastri.the director harped on team effort as the host prepared in earnest for the world T20 championship. Shastri said “We don't talk about individuals. No individual can win you a big tournament...For that to happen, seven-eight individuals need to perform consistently".
"Virat (Kohli) is in outstanding form, and so is Rohit (Sharma)... MS (Dhoni) has done well lower down the order, Yuvraj (Singh) has struck form, Shikhar (Dhawan) has had his moments," Shastri said while explaining every individual brilliance of contribution in team.
He also stated “We have got into a good habit of winning games. You might get the odd hiccup on the way. But it's important to maintain a level of consistency and treat every game as an important game”.
"That's the criteria of a good team - its bench strength," Shastri pointed out. "Players like Harbhajan and Rahane can get into any team in the world. So it's a good problem to have," he quipped.
Shastri was all praise for Shastri was all praise for Kohli, who is in the midst of a fabulous run.
the former India captain said "Every time he bats, you can see passion written all over. You can see his body language, he just loves the big stage. He wants to compete against the best in the world.” He added "I've said long back that he (Dhoni) is the best. What else is left for him to be achieved... but there will still be people who want him to retire.This is normal in our country. You go after your champions”.
