Cricket legend and former India head coach, Ravi Shastri, recently took to X (formerly Twitter) to share some insightful reflections on his career and the players who shaped the last decade of Indian cricket. In a video post, Shastri unequivocally named Virat Kohli as the most influential player of the past ten years. This high praise speaks volumes about Kohli’s impact on the game, both on and off the field.

Shastri’s accolades didn’t stop there. He also revealed the bowler he’d least want to face: the formidable Jasprit Bumrah. This choice highlights Bumrah’s exceptional skill and the intimidation he inspired in even the most experienced coaches.

The video also included nostalgic moments as Shastri looked back on his time as coach, notably mentioning the thrill of World Cup victory. His reflections provide a fascinating glimpse into the world of elite-level cricket and the personalities who defined a memorable era.
