    Dear Louis..Ravi Shastri got Audi car in 1985 & not 1983 in Benson & Hedges cup,Australia as Champion of Champions. He is the first Indian to hit 6 SIXES in an over when Bombay played against Baroda in 1985 ! Same dynamic Shastri took 66 balls to make 10 runs against Australia in the World Cup.India lost that match by ONE run! But he was considered as the Best Batsman allrounder in Test cricket.Right now his job as a commentator impressed everyone all over the world.I was delighted when I saw Shastri with Swamiji at Udupi temple.Thanks Daiji.
