We make jokes about his beer belly now, but this man was the hardest working Indian cricketer of his generation. His supreme fitness was an example to the next generation of Indian cricket.
All the lowlives shaming him for something as trivial as having a beer should watch this and realize how much of a cricketing elite he was. A highly respected individual amongst cricketing circles, and yet only disrespected amongst some clowns that pop up only when the team loses.
Well said, really pathetic to see some useless jokers making fun of a man just because of some harmless thing like drinking. We have a long way to go become a matured society.
Finally finally I was looking for this highlights for like 10-15 years since when I got to know sachin Sydney 100 but wasn't able to find it anywhere. After all those years now I can finally see it.
Shastri’s batting was full of grit. In his prime he scored test hundreds against some of the best attacks, including West Indies and Pakistan. Was not quite the fast scoring type, although he could be brutal against spinners. Add to it his useful left arm spin, made him a valuable member in the test team of the 80s and 90s
@Honest life short life is the best maybe so, but India had a pretty bad team that year. Apart from Azhar and Sachin no batsman was consistent. So putting the blame on him for the whole debacle is probably not fair.
@Honest life short life is the best India had been in Australia for 4 months before the WC on tour and that can seriously drain a side to not be home for that long and not see family and all that. The whole team was down not just Shastri. And by the way look at the way he played on that same tour. He took 5-15 against them in a ODI.
Shastri was at the top of his game at this time. I saw him score a century in Bridgetown during the second test vs West Indies 1989. Navigating Malcolm Marshall on his home pitch was an epic battle . Hardest century to make as batsmen fell in rapid succession. I think he won man of the match .... very well deserved if he did.
Social media has badly stereotyped Ravi Shastri....In today's time a coach is not supposed to be just a 'coach' he needs to have a good bond with the captain so that they can 'together' make a strong team. And the fact is Dhoni Virat have been bonding well with him. Stop this obsession...
What feat...he moved like a duck....in the ODIS he was so slow... and would put pressure on the lower order....at best he was a reasonable left arm spinner....he had such a long run because of Gavaskar.....
Great innings... Ravi Shastri was a real superstar of World Cricket as player... And now also as coach... He is champion of champions... We are with you RAVI...
Thnx cricket australia ...for this unseen video ....great ravi shashtri....olways clear in his instincts n thoughts.....even now whn he speaks...looks pretty confident

@@karthi368 100% agree. And it's not that Pujara plays slow throughout his innings. His first 70-80 odd runs always come in around 200 balls. And after he completes his century his strike rate becomes as good as any other test batsman.

@@chayan5471 about overrated ipl superstars i agree to you on that part 11 test centuries is not a big feat to achieve! He was confused from the start from spinner to batsman to commentator to coach
Ravi Shastri had some excellent technical prowess. No wonder the Indian Team flourished when he was the coach. He knows how to handle a team. Besides, his string of achievements is no joke. 6 sixes in an over. A 5 wicket haul against an in-form Australian team. A century at Lord's, against a good bowling Line-up. A double century against one of the best bowling line-ups in Australia. And that's without counting his achievements as a coach and commentator.
Ravi Shastri was one time the go-to batsman for India's overseas tours that too in an era when the bowlers were not under such batsman-friendly modern cricketing rules. Bowlers used to employ all dirty tricks ( body-line, unlimited bouncers, into-and-outside the heels legside, no inner n outer circle rules) to horrify the batsmen. More over many life saving cricketing gadgets and body protections were not there that time. As regards his drinking habits, he always drank for fun since his younger days but was never making scenes as drunkards do. He used to be sober and intelligent despite one or two week-end drinks. So it is really unfair the way some people comment on him. His cricketing sense I think is at par with Ajit Wadejar (India's best mind on cricket to me).
Shastri has been a lucky mascot for India...Be it Benson Hedges trophy,T20 world cup(where he was a commentator),ODI world cup 2011(commentator again) and many such events...
We played Ravi Shastri in 1992 Sydney test.206 is excellent innings played by him.But he is now Indian cricket team coach.This catch was taken by Dean Jones and also it was 1st test wicket for Shane Warne.
Man with the mission, he never enjoyed great fan followings. Tapori types do hy hy Shastri chanting for no reason many time. He never care for that,was very special.he always belive himself,self-made man.Very good, appreciate ...
Ravi Shastri is a great cricketer and sportsman in the world. Whether it is with bowling, batting, fielding, sportscaster, coaching and so on and on, he has been very valuable to cricket sport. He is also very flamboyant and has attractive personality with good understanding on life. His contribution to cricket sport are immense.
Shastri looks more handsome and macho than most of the Aussie players. No wonder he was popular among the ladies. Also he won a World series for India + this 200 . An underrated performer for India. You dont get Man of series by luck.
Funny how even Ravi Shastri scored a double century overseas and fans of a certain ex-Indian cricketer mock Shastri when their hero couldn't even manage to score an overseas Test ton 😇
He was quite a playboy in his youth. Had affairs with many bollywood actresses. He started as a number 11 batsman but graduated to an all rounder, ultimately started opening innings with bat. This double century was at the end of career as he had already been dropped before and he was making an attempt to come back.
Warne gets 1st test wicket!!
Shastri scored 1st double hundred!!

Ravi Shastri is a great cricketer and sportsman in the world. Whether it is with bowling, batting, fielding, sportscaster, coaching and so on and on, he has been very valuable to cricket sport. He is also very flamboyant and has attractive personality with good understanding on life. His contribution to cricket sport are immense.
Brilliant innings of Ravi Shastri came to an end by Shane Warne which was his 1st Test Wicket too!
Shastri looks more handsome and macho than most of the Aussie players. No wonder he was popular among the ladies. Also he won a World series for India + this 200 .
An underrated performer for India. You dont get Man of series by luck.
Funny how even Ravi Shastri scored a double century overseas and fans of a certain ex-Indian cricketer mock Shastri when their hero couldn't even manage to score an overseas Test ton 😇
Who?
@@araucariapasquale1 i think msd,perhaps rohit in test as well
@@araucariapasquale1 Lol both MSD and Rohit.
Those are the days when even opponent's team and crowd congratulates the others😌
Shastri while batting and knocking a double century: "hold my beer" (literally) 😂😂.... P.S. just a joke!
He was quite a playboy in his youth. Had affairs with many bollywood actresses. He started as a number 11 batsman but graduated to an all rounder, ultimately started opening innings with bat. This double century was at the end of career as he had already been dropped before and he was making an attempt to come back.
