Shastri was candid about his romantic side and did not shy away from the fact that he was Ladies’man in his younger days. Shastri said that he believed in the mantra ‘play hard and party harder’.

“I have never cared about what people think. That’s the kind of a person I am. My philosophy of life is very simple. It’s not important for anyone to graduate too quickly, if your shoe size is 10, wear a 10, not an 11 or 12,” current Head coach and the former all-rounder said.
