Ravi Shastri enjoyed the panoramic view through the hotel window as the sun bounced offthe Bay of Bengal as he pondered the questions put to him.
The India coach’s answers — in an exclusive conversation with The Hindu — were sharp, precise and honest.
The big positive for you from the Test here?
A fast bowler taking five wickets in the fourth innings in India.
Your impressions on Shami.
To bounce back from personal issues and bowl the way he did was remarkable. He is relentless, very skilful and at you all the time. I would have hated to face him.
How concerned are you about Bumrah’s stress fracture in the back?
Very concerned. Because he is precious, special, different, and a match-winner. They are taking opinions on whether he needs surgery. We have to be careful about his workload because he plays all three formats.
Hardik Pandya too underwent a surgery for a back injury recently.
