India beat the visitors by five wickets to end their most successful year ever with another win, but Shastri made it clear that the Indian team isn't bothered about results in the shortest format, which it is using to blood and test talented youngsters. 


"T20 cricket for us, we don't care. You win or lose, it doesn't matter, but give youngsters the opportunity so you come to know who is in the fray for 2019," Shastri had said after India's victory on Sunday.


It followed a barrage of angry comments by the fans of Indian cricket. However, there were some who even supported the coach's thoughts and priorities.
