Team India's head coach Gautam Gambhir has taken a jibe at Ravi Shastri in one of the old interviews as the video of it has surfaced after the national team's recent Test series loss to New Zealand at home. The interview shows Gambhir criticizing then coach Shastri for not winning anything outside of India other than the World Series in 1986.
"Hansi se zyaada aur kuch nahin aata. I'm sure Ravi Shastri ko records bhi nahin pata na unhone koi purani series dekhi. Kahi baar aisa hota hai aap khud kuch nahin jeete ho toh aapko yehi lagta hai ki jis team ke aap coach ho, wohi team sabse acchi hai. Kyunki aap khud kuch toh jeete nahin. Vahan jo world series jo jeete they, uske alaawa toh mujhe yaad nahin ki Ravi Shastri India se bahar kuch bhi jeete hain."
At least Shastri never lost ODIs to SL or home Test series, despite the constant media scrutiny.

(I only laugh at him. I'm sure Ravi Shastri doesn't know old records or he has seen any previous series. Often it happens that if you haven't anything as a player, you tend to think the team you're coaching is the best. Other than the world series in 1986, I can't remember Ravi Shastri winning anything outside India."
