“Extremely impressed with the professionalism shown by Kantaben & her team at Apollo, Ahmedabad in dealing with COVID-19 vaccination,” Shastri added.
The former Indian cricketer is with the Indian team in Ahmedabad for the England series. India lead the four-match Test series 2-1 after winning the third clash by 10 wickets at the Narendra Modi Stadium.
The visitors won the first match in Chennai but the home side made a fine return to win the next two. With the defeat against India in the third match, England have been knocked out of the World Test Championship final.
If the Indian team clinches a win or manages a draw in the fourth Test against England in Ahmedabad, the Virat Kohli-led side will march into the final to be played against New Zealand at the Lord’s. But if India suffer a defeat against England in the final Test, then Australia will lock horns with the Blackcaps at Lord’s in the summit clash.
India will play five T20Is and three ODIs after the Test series is concluded.
