The year 2021 was a mixed year for the Indian cricket team. While India have won some historic victories, they have won two ICC tournaments. India conceded defeat in the final of the Test World Cup, as well as in the T20 World Cup, while India were knocked out in the knockout stages.

Now, former India coach Ravi Shastri has reacted.

India lost their first match against Pakistan in the T20 World Cup and also lost to New Zealand, making the tournament difficult for India. Commenting on India's performance in the tournament, Ravi Shastri said, "It was clear from their performance that the Indian team was playing the tournament with courage."

"Pakistan did a great job in that match. We were under a lot of pressure against New Zealand. It was evident in our game during the match. As long as you fight, you don't mind losing. . "

Ravi Shastri was the coach of the Indian team during the tournament. His coaching career ended after the tournament. He was replaced by Rahul Dravid as the head coach of the Indian team.

The former coach further said that there is no room for mistakes in this type of competition. He said the format used in the 2019 World Cup should continue to be used, where each team plays against the other. The Indian team topped the group stage in the 2019 World Cup, but lost to New Zealand in the semi-finals.
