Team India head coach Ravi Shastri has expressed his thoughts regarding the ongoing protest on the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) in the country.

Speaking to News18, Shastri said: “I have been playing for India from when I was 18 years old. In my team also there are all sorts, different castes, different religions. Just think Indian.”

“I am sure the government has thought about it properly. There are still certain things to be tweaked here and there and they will do it for the benefit of Indians. I am speaking as an Indian here."

“I am not talking about x, y, z religion because I am speaking as an Indian. That’s who I have been, I realized it even more when I played for the country. So, I have the right to speak as an Indian,” he said.

Shastri also was questioned about the rising fear amongst some citizens who are being marked as Indian and others as non-Indians, he said: “I have not gone into that deeply. I am saying what I feel. But think Indian. Be patient. There must be benefits for everybody.”

Ahead of the second T20I match against Sri Lanka in Indore, Team India skipper Virat Kohli had also spoken on the topic and said, "It would be irresponsible of me to comment on CAA as I do not know enough about it. We have found the city to be absolutely safe."

After winning the second T20I by 7 wickets, India will take on the Lankans in Pune on Friday (January 10) for the third and final match of the three-match series.
