You will be wiser and more experienced when the next opportunity comes,” Shastri added.

So what you have gone through in the last two years will covid, the hurdles that come on the way, the write-offs that happen, everything and you go through all that and become stronger in the mind and tougher and ready to play the game at the highest level and compete and that is the best thing I like about this Indian cricket team,” Ravi Shastri concluded.
