Ravi Shastri Declares He Is 'Hottie, Naughty And Sixtyyyy' And Fans Agree

Known for his charming persona and spectacular style of commentary, former Indian cricketer Ravi Shastri triggered a huge buzz by sharing a photo of himself on social media. In the picture uploaded on social media platform X (formerly Twitter), the former Indian cricket team coach was seen posing in a navy blue night suit in front of a wooden background. Shastri wrote in the caption, “I am hottie, I am naughty, I am sixtyyyy.” The post grabbed the eyeballs of many, who were surprised to see Shastri in such a stylish avatar. Some assumed that it was probably a part of an upcoming promotional campaign. Shastri is part of the star-studded commentary panel that has been covering the ongoing season of the Indian Premier League (IPL).

Soon after the post surfaced on X, many users shared their thoughts in the comments. Some felt it was Ravi Shastri’s birthday but that was not the case as the legendary cricketer was born on May 27, 1962.

There were fans, who suspected that the X account of Ravi Shastri might have been hacked. The cricketer-turned-commentator has not revealed anything about that yet.

Keeping aside the confusion, many fans complemented the look of Ravi Shastri. They reckon the World Cup-winning player might have been preparing for an advertisement shoot.

A few years after bidding adieu to cricket, Ravi Shastri began his career as a television personality. Apart from doing commentary and participating in cricket-related discussions, he has also demonstrated his acting skills in many advertisements. Going by the fact, one social media user commented, “Happy Birthday legend, I am a big fan of your commentary. BTW, is it for a new advertisement?”

Referring to Ravi Shastri’s colourful and charming persona, one person sarcastically said, “Ravi sir woke up today and decided to post thirst traps on social media.”

Another joked that Ravi Shastri could have replaced Ranbir Kapoor in the famous song Saawariya. “Ravi Shastri can do better Saawariya scenes than Ranbir for sure,” read the hilarious comment.

Ravi Shastri, who is famous for his inimitable style of commentary, represented India in 80 Tests and 150 ODIs between 1981 and 1992. Shastri has also served as the head coach of the Indian cricket team for four years since 2017. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) honoured him with the Col CK Nayudu Lifetime Achievement Award in January this year.
