The current head coach of the Indian Cricket team was one of the most famous and esteemed commentators during his time. The 57 year old former cricketer had a celebrated cricket career. Fortunately, even after his retirement, Shastri took his prime into his commentary and emerged as one of the most admired persons in this field.

The highlight of his commentary career came in 2011 when he gave life to his words during India’s winning moments in the World Cup 2011 final. The strength and quality of his voice have often been considered as factors which make him an impressive orator. He carved a niche for himself in this field through his ability to articulate and analyze various incidents during the match.

Shastri had a long-running and triumphant career which halted after him being appointed as the head coach of the Indian Cricket team back in 2017. He was contracted by broadcasters like ESPN Star Sports and BCCI itself.
