If Virat was the captain…

Shastri appreciated Virat’s talent on foreign pitches and said, ‘Especially as the ambassador of Test match cricket, especially in the manner in which he was introduced himself abroad. The way he played in Lord’s and how his team changed things was unrealistic. I am happy that I was part of it. I am sad that the way he went away suddenly. I think it could be better handed over, perhaps with more communication. If I had anything to do with this, I would have made him the captain directly after Australia.
