On Wednesday, Head Coach Ravi Shastri highlighted how the number 36 is important in Indian cricket history and how the number has played a big role not only in his career, but also in the developing Indian cricket. Shastri tweeted, “Ha. Too much 36. Six 6 mine. Team 36 Adelaide. One day number 36. Gavaskar 36. @ YUVSTRONG12 six 6s. Could be more.” Shastri hit six sixes in a Ranji Trophy match against Baroda, playing for Mumbai in the 1984–85 season. The former Indian all-rounder was also in the commentary box when Yuvraj Singh achieved the same feat against England in the 2007 T20 World Cup.

Sunil Gavaskar’s unbeaten 36 in the World Cup against England in 1975 is remembered for the wrong reasons. At the time, cricket fans could not understand why Gavaskar played so many dot balls in 174 deliveries in his innings of 364 runs, especially when India were chasing a target of 335 runs in 60 overs.
In December 2020, India led the hosts to an easy victory (by eight wickets) by scoring 36 runs in the second innings against Australia at the Adelaide Oval under Shastri’s captaincy. However, the team reversed their fortunes by winning the Border Gavaskar Trophy 2–1 against all odds.
On Sunday, when asked about his growth as a coach, Shastri had said: “When I got this role, I didn’t know what the final story would be in it. I have learned a lot over the last six years, I have learned. ” It was experienced in the last 35 years. Man management is of extreme importance and is also the key to how you understand human behavior and how different individuals react. Someone reacts to failure and success when you need to talk to someone. To understand a large group, mindset and make it work as a cohesive unit, you need to be able to understand the mindset. “
