Firm decision maker, Good control, Selfish, performance squeezer
In simple words Ravi Shashtri can be discribed as above. I would attribute all the success Indian team had when he was the team manager/director. Instead it should be noted that Virat Kohli and the senior folks worked hard to strategise and plan for each situation during that time frame.
The coach selection - 1st episode
In the initial edition after a long gap where in India did not have a full time coach and the BCCI was in turmoil the coach selection process went into lot of controversies. Ganguly and Ravi Shashtri spat over how the interview itself was conducted etc. Which ended with the CAC (Cricket Advisory Committee) recruiting Anil Kumble as a full time coach during that point in time. Also Ravi quit the team mentoring role.
Once It was "displayed" or "showcased" that there was not everything going rite between Virat Kohli and Anil Kumble the great politics of Indian flower reached the international media.
All of a sudden Virat started complaining about the bossy attitude of Kumble during team selection an strategies of the team are concerned. In the end it's always the captain who wins in the Insian cricket and hence Anil Kumble on whom The Indian cricket team had much of its success in recent times had to quit voluntarily so that the captain in not shown in bad light to the world.
Even while selecting the new coach norms where broken and Ravi's candidature was outrageous considered to put him on the front line and hence appoint as tw coach of Indian team. Hopefully Indian team's success continues the way it is now and wishing Ravi Shashtri all the best in his new role.
