"It's banter all the way. They do it to have fun. It's at my expense, but it's okay," Shastri said. "Have a drink on my name. When you post those kind of things, so many people have a laugh. Enjoy, it doesn't affect me. As long as the team does well, I'm happy," he said.

Shastri also commented on the criticism of his coaching and said, "In cricket, if you are playing well and succeeding, people will be happy with you, and when you are not winning, you have to face some kicks and slaps."

There have been regular jokes about Shastri's love for the drinks and he takes it sportingly. Even recently, he had reacted to a meme posted by a journalist on social media positively.

"Love the banter ! Feels good to bring some smiles in these tough times," he had posted.
