Under the leadership of Ravi Shastri, the Indian team became a force for aggression. With Virat Kohli as captain and Shastri as coach, the team started winning psychological battles especially overseas. For years, Indian teams were known to be soft on overseas tours, with many players being targeted. But things started changing as soon as Sourav Ganguly reached the spot. And then Ravi Shastri and Virat Kohli invented Aggression 2.0 – taking it to the next level.

Speaking to the Guardian in an exclusive, he revealed what he told his players on overseas tours. “: I was told to rent and fire whoever I wished I could come in and be shown the door to whomever I didn’t. And it was also outlining how we wanted to play They are: being aggressive and ruthless, up to fitness level, getting a bunch of fast bowlers to take 20 wickets overseas. And it was about attitude, especially while playing with the Australian team. I told the boys that if your If even one ‘fuck you’ comes along the way, give them three back: two in our language and one in their language.”
He said that defeating Australia not once but twice would be as special in history as it would be difficult for others to achieve. , “How many teams can win in Australia – with Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood thrashing the attack 1-0 – and then win in England? It will be difficult for any team to repeat that for a long time.”
Under Shastri’s leadership, India won 10 of 14 Test series, rose to No. 1 in the rankings and beat Australia twice in their own backyard. The aggression worked wonders with India running South Africa and England really close. Not for a moment did it feel like the team was pushed on the back foot on the bouncy pitches. A good example could be the Johannesburg Test where India bounced back and beat South Africa because the team did not put enough scores on the board.
