Ravi Shastri turns investor, buys 1.5 lakh shares of Greycells Education

Ravi Shastri's stint with Team India as their head coach has been a fruitful one so far. In 2019 under Shastri, the team retained the Border-Gavaskar Trophy for the first time on Australian soil. India then went to the West Indies and won the limited-overs and Test series before starting their home season by whitewashing South Africa in the Test series. Bangladesh was then beaten in the T20Is and whitewashed in the Test series before India once again beat the Windies in the limited-overs series at home. The only disappointment last year was the semi-final loss in the 2019 ICC Cricket World Cup against New Zealand. Recently, Shastri has been in the news for buying shares of a top Indian educational provider.
