Bengaluru, September 2: Team India head coach Ravi Shastri said captain will be the boss of the team, making it clear the way he functions.
Shastri took over as the coach after the acrimonious exit of Anil Kumble after the Champions Trophy.
"The captain will always be the boss of the team. I have under me a fantastic support staff who've been with me right from day one when I became the Director of the team and today I'm the head coach
"There is a certain element of bonding and trust when it comes to the players dealing with the support staff and our job is making them feel relaxed and make them feel that they are in a great mental space," Shastri told the bcci.tv.
The former Indian captain stressed on the importance of communication. when the mindset is similar and you are on the same page, then that reflects in the way that you will see the other players reacting. When you see this team on the field, you feel like watching them play.
"There is energy, there is camaraderie, an element of sharing, an element of happiness in anyone's success. There is great disappointment if they don't play to their potential, which is very important," he said.
Happy dressing room. Confident players. A crushing series win in Sri Lanka, where India are yet to lose. So, is Shastri the most desired coach. He did not think so.
I wouldn't say that I am the most desired coach. That is for the players to say. All I'll say is that I like to keep things simple. As far as the team is concerned, the trust factor that exists in the dressing room, the camaraderie between the players and the support staff, like Virat has mentioned, there is no senior or junior in the team because everyone's a team player and everyone has to contribute," he said.
"The most experienced player like former captain MS Dhoni, he is a wonderful team man. Any youngster can approach him at any stage. Any youngster can approach the captain or me or anyone in the support staff. That kind of camaraderie is there.
If you don't have that kind of sharing, you will not have that kind of trust. That is paramount and like we said the dressing room for us is the place. What happens in the dressing room and what's discussed there will always stay there," he added.
