    Ravi Shastri Reopens 2016 Head Coach Snub, Hints at ‘Some Motive’

    Former India head coach Ravi Shastri has once again stirred the pot around one of Indian cricket’s most debated administrative decisions — the appointment of Anil Kumble as head coach in 2016 over himself. Shastri, who had earlier served as team director and was widely seen as the front-runner for the job, says he still believes there was “some motive” behind the call that left him out in the cold at the time.

    Shastri pointed out that under his guidance as team director, India had enjoyed a string of positive results across formats, which made the snub even harder to digest. He admitted the decision hurt him personally, not because of the position itself, but because he felt his contribution to the dressing room culture and performances was being overlooked by those making the call behind closed doors.

    A Rivalry That Shaped Indian Cricket’s Coaching Era

    The 2016 episode eventually became a significant subplot in Indian cricket folklore. Kumble took over as head coach but exited after just one tumultuous season, reportedly following friction with then-captain Virat Kohli. Shastri was subsequently reinstated, going on to have an extended and largely successful run as head coach through some of India’s biggest overseas Test triumphs, including historic series wins in Australia.

    CricketBuzz understands that Shastri’s latest remarks are less about reopening old wounds for controversy’s sake and more about setting the record straight on a chapter he feels was never fully explained to the public. As CricketBuzz reported earlier, Shastri has maintained in multiple interviews that results on the field should have mattered more than boardroom preferences. Fans and former cricketers remain divided on the matter, with some backing the selection committee’s prerogative and others sympathizing with Shastri’s frustration.

    हिंदी में

    भारत के पूर्व हेड कोच रवि शास्त्री ने एक बार फिर भारतीय क्रिकेट के सबसे चर्चित प्रशासनिक फैसलों में से एक को हवा दे दी है — 2016 में उनकी जगह अनिल कुंबले को हेड कोच बनाए जाने का मामला। टीम डायरेक्टर रहते हुए जिस शास्त्री को इस पद के लिए सबसे मजबूत दावेदार माना जा रहा था, उनका कहना है कि उन्हें आज भी लगता है कि उस फैसले के पीछे ‘कोई मकसद’ जरूर था।

    शास्त्री ने बताया कि टीम डायरेक्टर के तौर पर उनकी अगुवाई में भारतीय टीम ने हर फॉर्मेट में लगातार अच्छे नतीजे दिए थे, जिसके चलते यह फैसला उनके लिए पचा पाना और मुश्किल हो गया। उन्होंने स्वीकार किया कि इस फैसले ने उन्हें निजी तौर पर आहत किया, क्योंकि उन्हें लगा कि ड्रेसिंग रूम के माहौल और टीम के प्रदर्शन में उनके योगदान को पर्दे के पीछे फैसला लेने वालों ने नजरअंदाज कर दिया।

    एक प्रतिद्वंद्विता जिसने भारतीय कोचिंग युग को आकार दिया

    2016 का यह घटनाक्रम आगे चलकर भारतीय क्रिकेट की कहानियों का एक अहम हिस्सा बन गया। कुंबले ने हेड कोच की जिम्मेदारी संभाली, लेकिन सिर्फ एक सीज़न के बाद ही उन्हें तत्कालीन कप्तान विराट कोहली के साथ कथित मतभेदों के चलते पद छोड़ना पड़ा। इसके बाद शास्त्री की वापसी हुई और उन्होंने एक लंबे और काफी सफल कार्यकाल में भारत को ऑस्ट्रेलिया जैसी बड़ी विदेशी टेस्ट सीरीज जिताईं।

    CricketBuzz को समझ है कि शास्त्री की यह ताजा टिप्पणी पुराने विवाद को फिर से भड़काने के लिए नहीं, बल्कि उस अध्याय पर स्पष्टता लाने के लिए है जिसे उनके मुताबिक जनता के सामने कभी पूरी तरह नहीं रखा गया। जैसा कि CricketBuzz ने पहले भी रिपोर्ट किया था, शास्त्री कई इंटरव्यू में यह कहते रहे हैं कि मैदान पर नतीजों को बोर्डरूम की पसंद से ज्यादा तरजीह मिलनी चाहिए थी। फैंस और पूर्व क्रिकेटरों की राय इस पर बंटी हुई है — कुछ चयन समिति के अधिकार का समर्थन करते हैं तो कुछ शास्त्री की निराशा से सहमति जताते हैं। इस विषय पर आगे की प्रतिक्रियाओं के लिए जुड़े रहें CricketBuzz के साथ।
