Ravi Shastri had everything to cheer about after the recently concluded series against West Indies where India completed a whitewash over the Caribbeans. Team India won the T20I series 3-0, ODI series 2-0 (one washed away due to rain) and Test series 2-0. Meanwhile, during the course of the tour, Ravi Shastri was also retained as the head coach of Team India and will continue the role till the end of ICC World T20 2021 which will be held in India. Ravi Shastri got the better of strong contenders like Mike Hesson, Tom Moody and others to retain his position. Recently, Shastri was saying having a gala time in West Indies. The former all-rounder had posed for a picture with the legendary Sir Vivian Richards and described Richards as the 'King of Antigua'. The ex-cricketer had then paid a visit to the Bob Marley museum where he had not only become a presenter but had also impressed one and all with his Caribbean accent. Now, after Team India's ICC World Test Championship campaign has got off to a flier, the head coach decided to enjoy the sunny day at Jamaica.
