He was an integral part of India&#8217;s historic World Cup victory in 1983, a triumph that etched his name in the annals of Indian cricket history. His all-round abilities as a batter, bowler, and fielder made him a valuable asset to the team.<br \/>One of Shastri&#8217;s most remarkable achievements was becoming one of only five players in <!-- -->Test cricket<!-- --> history to complete the hat-trick of scoring 3,000 runs, taking 150 wickets, and compiling 10 centuries. <br \/>Shastri&#8217;s impact on cricket extends beyond his playing days. He made history as the first Indian batter to hit six sixes in an over, a feat he accomplished while playing for Mumbai against Baroda in the 1985-86 <!-- -->Ranji Trophy<!-- --> season. The remarkable achievement etched his name in the record books and cemented his status as a cricketing legend.<br \/>After retiring from international cricket, Shastri seamlessly transitioned into a successful career as a commentator, providing insightful analysis and expert opinions on the game. His commentary has been widely appreciated by cricket enthusiasts worldwide.<br \/>Shastri&#8217;s contributions to society extend beyond the cricket field. For a decade, he served as a <!-- -->UNICEF<!-- --> ambassador, championing the &#8216;Pulse-Polio&#8217; campaign until India eventually eradicated polio. His commitment to social causes and his efforts to make a positive impact on society have been commendable.<br \/>In 2017, Shastri took on the role of India&#8217;s head coach, guiding the team to a historic Test series win in Australia.<\/div>\n<p><script>\nvar _mfq = window._mfq || [];\n_mfq.push([\"setVariable\", \"toi_titan\", window.location.href]);\n!(function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n    function loadFBEvents(isFBCampaignActive) {\n      if (!isFBCampaignActive) {\n        return;\n      }\n      (function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n        if (f.fbq) return;\n        n = f.fbq = function() {\n          n.callMethod ? n.callMethod(...arguments) : n.queue.push(arguments);\n        };\n        if (!f._fbq) f._fbq = n;\n        n.push = n;\n        n.loaded = !0;\n        n.version = '2.0';\n        n.queue = [];\n        t = b.createElement(e);\n        t.async = !0;\n        t.defer = !0;\n        t.src = v;\n        s = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n        s.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);\n      })(f, b, e, 'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js', n, t, s);\n      fbq('init', '593671331875494');\n      fbq('track', 'PageView');\n    };\n    function loadGtagEvents(isGoogleCampaignActive) {\n      if (!isGoogleCampaignActive) {\n        return;\n      }\n      var id = document.getElementById('toi-plus-google-campaign');\n      if (id) {\n        return;\n      }\n      (function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n        t = b.createElement(e);\n        t.async = !0;\n        t.defer = !0;\n        t.src = v;\n        t.id = 'toi-plus-google-campaign';\n        s = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n        s.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);\n      })(f, b, e, 'https:\/\/www.googletagmanager.com\/gtag\/js?id=AW-877820074', n, t, s);\n    };\n    function loadSurvicateJs(allowedSurvicateSections = []){\n      const section =  window.location.pathname.split('\/')[1]\n      const isHomePageAllowed = window.location.pathname === '\/' && allowedSurvicateSections.includes('homepage')\n      if(allowedSurvicateSections.includes(section) || isHomePageAllowed){\n        (function(w) {\n         function setAttributes() {\n                    var prime_user_status = window.isPrime ?
