Shastri, meanwhile, was back on commentary duty after a long time, following the end of his stint as the Indian men’s cricket team head coach.

During his stint as coach, he oversaw two famous Test series wins in Australia and was also at the helm when India took a 2-1 lead in England last year.
However, the fifth Test of the series was postponed by a year due to a COVID-19 outbreak in the Indian camp and will be played at Edgbaston in Birmingham from July 1-5.
