Indian cricket team coach Ravi Shastri termed the Indian side that won the 1985 Benson & Hedges World Championship of Cricket as the best outfit he has been a part of. In fact, the current Indian cricket team coach even termed that bunch of cricketers as one capable of giving any Indian side, across generations, a run for their money.
Speaking to Rajdeep Sardesai, Ravi Shastri opened up on how that team had most bases covered and how they handled the pressure in 1985, especially considering the Indian cricket team arrived at that tournament as world champions.

He also talked about the Indian cricket team’s strength to overcome all odds, despite other teams looking to take down the 1983 world champions.
To put things into further perspective, the current Indian cricket team head coach explicitly stated that the side which won the World Championship of Cricket in 1985 would cause problems to any Indian cricket team that has ever taken to the field.
During the 1985 Benson & Hedges World Championship of Cricket, not many cricketers distinguished themselves as much as Ravi Shastri, who ended up winning the Player of the Series award.
In fact, that triumph by the Indian cricket team led billions of Indians to dream about the country as a cricketing superpower and one that was capable of holding its own, even in the most adverse of circumstances.
Thus, it isn’t unsurprising that current Indian cricket team coach Ravi Shastri feels that that side might never be replicated.
