Ravi Shastri is the coach of the Indian Cricket team

After what has been an almost comedy-of-errors rigmarole of the power struggle/confusion for the announcement of the coach by the CAC, BCCI and the CoA.

The players seem to have got their man selected; although it needs to be seen how Zaheer Khan would fare in his first major assignment with a national team as the bowling coach (he has a level head on his shoulders, a keen judge of any situation and a good camaraderie with most of the players who he has played with, so it does seem promising)
Rahul Dravid has a very specific responsibility assigned to him - batting consultant for overseas tests. Who better than him to iron out technical flaws and work on the batsman's techniques to prepare them for the trying conditions abroad.
All said and done, it is going to be an important 2 years for this team as they hope to win the World Cup and work on improving their poor overseas record
