Ravi Shastri criticizes BCCI after India’s failure in WTC final. On the final day of the game, India needs 280 runs to win the WTC Final.
Former India player turned commentator Ravi Shastri appears unhappy with the BCCI. After the Men in Blue continue to trail Australia throughout the ICC World Test Championship Final. Shastri was dissatisfied with the Indian batsmen’s performance against Australia in the first innings of the World Test Championship (WTC) Final, in which they won by 296 runs.
The first three days of India’s World Test Championship final versus Australia on the green-top Oval pitch saw Australia bat with ease, but the Rohit Sharma-led team struggled to match that performance. With the probable exception of Ajinkya Rahane, Shardul Thakur, and, to a lesser extent. Ravindra Jadeja, none of the other batters appear to be prepare for the Australian onslaught. The top-order collapse cost India four wickets in 18.2 overs.
Following the top-order collapse, former India coach Ravi Shastri made a direct remark regarding the IPL and the BCCI. Shastri was enrage and chastise the BCCI for failing to establish the IPL and national duty priorities appropriately. “Are you aware that you must establish your priorities?” What is the highest priority? India or regional cricket? You must make that decision. If you’re talking about franchise cricket, forget about this (WTC final). If this is significant, the BCCI, as the sport’s custodian, is in charge. “There should be a clause in the IPL contract that allows them to take a player out of the IPL in the interest of India,” Shastri told Star Sports.

The BCCI should incorporate a clause in IPL contracts: Shastri
The 61-year-old also proposed that the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) include a provision in IPL contracts that allows teams to send away players for national duty. “First, put the clause in place, and then ask the franchises how much they want to invest.” That is extremely crucial. You are the sport’s keeper. “You have complete control over cricket in the country,” Shastri remarked.
Meanwhile, despite the loss of Shubman Gill, Rohit Sharma, and Cheteshwar Pujara in the second innings, Virat Kohli and Ajinkya Rahane kept India in the race. The final-day total for India was 164/3, and they will need 280 runs to capture the coveted mace.
