Ravi Shastri never held himself back as a player when it came to giving it back to the opposition and believes in keeping the foot on the neck when the opponent is on the mat.

India defeated the Aussies in their own backyard for the first time in a Test series during their 2018-19 tour Down Under and repeated the feat in 2020-21 to maintain their firm grip on the Border Gavaskar Trophy (BGT).
