Was batting scared before

Ravi Shastri said this approach is correct
Ravi Shastri supported the current aggressive approach of the Indian team, saying, this approach is correct. By doing this you may lose some matches but once you start winning then you can move on with that confidence in big matches and use the same strategy.
Senior players can perform like youth
In the absence of senior players, the aggressive attitude shown by the young players. Can the senior players do the same after the return, Ravi Shastri said, why not! He is very experienced, he has played ample number of IPL and T20 matches. It will not be difficult for them to adjust. The team has enough depth in the batting with the presence of Rishabh Pant, Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja. These players have the ability to handle the team even if the top order fails.

Hardik and Bumrah’s workload should be managed
Regarding the burden falling on Hardik Pandya and Jasprit Bumrah, Shastri said, “Hardik Pandya’s return as an all-rounder has increased the balance in the team. He is the most important link in the Indian team. We missed his bowling in last year’s World Cup. The quality they have is quality and no one is even close to it. He and Jasprit Bumrah will have to be closely monitored so that they do not get injured. Both are very important players of the team.
