36 all out in Adelaide in Australia series was lowest point for me as India's head coach: Ravi Shastri

Former India head coach Ravi Shastri said that the team was in a state of shock "for days" after they were dismissed for a record low score of 36 runs by Australia in the first pink-ball Test of the 2020/21 series in Adelaide.

The Indian team was in a state of shock "for days" after they were dismissed for 36 runs in the second innings of the first Test of their tour of 2020/21 tour of Australia, former head coach Ravi Shastri has revealed. Shastri said that the third day of the match, in which India were dismissed for the record low score and went on to lose by eight wickets, was the lowest point of his tenure as head coach of the team.

"See, the coach is in the firing line; there is no choice. That is the quirk of the job. You have to be ready from day one. I knew there would be no escape routes. The 36 all out was the lowest point," Shastri, whose tenure as head coach came to an end after the 2021 T20 World Cup in November this year, told The Week.
