The selection of the coach is controversial and it started from the Greg Chappell. When Greg Chappell appointed as Indian coach most of the iconic retired players disagreed on Greg's selection however Greg continued its era of coaching. In one of the books "251 Not Out", V.V.S Laxman did point on the same controversies with Greg's coaching style. Ravi Shashtri replaced Anil Kumble as the director and coach of Team India. However, on nearly every series loss Shashtri is the person painted as the reason for the loss because of his poor coaching and guidance to the captains.

Controversies and Ravi Shashtri are on the same boat and it causes a lot of internal disputes during the selection of the team for upcoming series. It is also said that Ravi Shashtri is the selection done by Virat Kohli and which upset the integrity of the coach and team. One recent controversy came out from the 1st Test between India and Australia where Shashtri during the extra innings cover after the win of India said - "Gotti Muh main aagayi thi" which is truly not the correct way of addressing any situation or win.

It also seems that the team is being selected by Virat Kohli where Shashtri was said to be favoring captain Kohli's choice. Whatever the reason, but for sure this is causing massive damage to the integrity of Cricket and the selection of the Team based on talent and skills. Arrogant behavior of both Kohli and Shashtri can be a perfect match for each other but most of the times it is causing many problems in the internal decision-making process.

It seems like that World Cup 2019 will going to be the last session for R Shashtri's coaching. Indian women team is also set to change the coach after the recent controversy of selection of the team for the semi-final match between Indian and Australia. Garry Kirsten is said to be leading women team however, there is still no news by the official on the same. The coach saga of Team India is pretty adventurous full of controversies and favoring. We can only hope that the right things get selected over favoring without compromising with anything or terms.
