Watch: Ravi Shastri misses a bit, forgets to announce man of the match award
Mumbai: Although he sometimes sounds clichéd, Ravi Shastri gets excited watching cricket, analysing it and talking about the same. While he continues to divide opinions, there is hardly any topic under that Mr. Shastri can not talk about.
Making a comeback behind the microphone, after a while, Mr. Shastri ‘is making most of his time in the middle’ and in the commentary box; slashing it and slashing it hard.
But the Team India director missed a bit and 'was caught napping' during the post-match presentation ceremony in Chennai on Friday. After Mumbai Indian defeated Chennai Super Kings, Shastri fumbled and forgot to announce the Man of the Match Award to Hardik Pandya who scored 21 runs off 8 balls and powered MI to a victory.
Shastri interviewed winning skipper Rohit Sharma and said, "It is a Friday night, get stuck in and quench your thirst." However, he forgot about the player of the match. Luckily for him and for Pandya, someone near the event hinted Shastri about his miss.
