Shastri also pointed out how Rohit has evolved his game in the last few years.
He also opened up on how emotional he is feeling as he bid adieu as head coach of the Indian men's team.
Indian captain Virat Kohli on Saturday said he has "no idea exactly what's happening" when asked about the legendary Rahul Dravid being in line to be the team's head coach after the T20 World Cup.
BCCI president Sourav Ganguly said that senior team's head coach Ravi Shastri will be asked to get "more involved" in grooming talent at the National Cricket Academy "till the time he is coach".
'So, the expectations are very high here and you have to perform in every match. So, it was for that man, if I wouldn't play this match this performance would have never come.'
Team India head coach Ravi Shastri intends to step down from his role after the T20 World Cup. He says he has achieved everything there was and does not want to overstay his welcome.
Ravi Shastri said he is confident that the government has thought through the decision to introduce the law.
But the Indian captain has now said a lot without even uttering a single word -- by deleting a tweet from 2016.
According to reports, the BCCI's cricket advisory committee, comprising Sachin Tendulkar, Sourav Ganguly and VVS Laxman, has asked Dravid about his interest in the big job.
"Ravi Shastri should be removed as head coach before the Australia tour. Ravi Shastri is a very good cricket commentator and he should be allowed to do so," Chauhan, also Uttar Pradesh Sports Minister, said while agreeing to demands raised by former cricketers for removal of Shastri as coach.
Michael Hussey was approached by former India batsman VVS Laxman for the job of Team India head coach, the ex-Australian cricketer has revealed in his latest book.
