Ravi Shastri is often regarded as one of the greatest all-rounders in the history of Indian cricket. Shastri was part of the team that triumphed at the 1983 World Cup and the 1985 Cricket World Championship, where his performance earned him the Player of the Series award.
After his retirement, the swashbuckling cricketer went on to prove himself as a commentator, cricket pundit and head coach of the Indian team. Recently, Shastri said he would have collected a bounty amount to play in the Indian Premier League. Ravi Shastri answered a question on ESPN about how much he would have earned had he gone under the hammer at this year’s Indian Premier League auction.
