In August, Shastri was retained as Team India head coach for a two-year period, ending with the 2021 T20 World Cup in India.
This is Shastri's fourth stint with the national team, having served briefly as the Cricket Manager (2007 tour of Bangladesh), Team Director (2014-2016) and head coach (2017-2019).
Under the coaching of Shastri, India registered a clean sweep over the West Indies in all formats, following which a three-match T20 International series against South Africa ended in a 1-1 draw at home.
India are 1-0 up in the ongoing three-match Test series against South Africa. The second Test is underway in Pune and India are eyeing a record 11th successive Test series win at home.
The Virat Kohli-led side also tops the ICC Test Championship points table by a huge margin. India have 160 points at the top, thanks to a 2-0 clean sweep against the West Indies and a 203-run victory in the first Test against South Africa in Vizag. Second-ranked New Zealand have just 60 points to their name from the ICC Test Championship so far.
