In the year 2018, Dinesh Karthik was thrown out of the Indian side by Shastri due to few failures in the test matches but he regained his momentum in the last IPL season and made his entrance in international cricket again. Thus when the question about the temperament of Ravi Shastri is asked to Dinesh Kartik then he answered it by saying, “I think Shastri, the player was somebody, who was probably not as talented but fulfilled his talent as coach. He did much better than what he was expected to do.

“As a coach, he was a larger-than-life person. He was somebody who pushed players to try and achieve special things. He (Shastri) would not be very appreciative of that. Shastri knew exactly what he wanted from the team, the way in which it was played but his tolerance was very little for failures. He always used to push people to do very well”, Karthik concluded.

Later he revealed a dark side of Ravi Shastri in the coaching, “He (Shastri) had a very low tolerance for somebody who wouldn’t bat at a certain pace he did not like or someone who was doing very differently in the nets and in the match, he would go and bat differently”.
