    "editor1": "<p><strong>New Delhi, May 27: <\/strong>Cricket fraternity on Wednesday turned to social media to wish India head coach Ravi Shastri on his 58th birthday. India captain Virat Kohli and Test vice-captain Ajinkya Rahane were one of the first to wish Shastri on his special day on Twitter.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Kohli uploaded a picture of himself and wicket-keeper-batsman Mahendra Singh Dhoni, laughing with Shastri, and his tweet read: &quot;Many seem confident but only few are brave. Happy birthday Ravi bhai. God bless. #throwback.&quot;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Rahane too shared a picture with Shastri and wrote on his Twitter handle: &quot;Wishing you lots of happiness and a very happy birthday Ravi bhai. Have a good one and see you soon!&quot;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Former India all-rounder Yuvraj Singh also took to social media to wish Shastri and his post read: &quot;Happy Birthday senior. Have a great day. Best wishes cheers.&quot;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Out-of-favour India batsman Suresh Raina wrote: &quot;Happy Birthday @RaviShastriofc. Have a good one Ravi bhai.&quot;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Left-arm spinner Kuldeep Yadav uploaded a picture of himself and Dhoni with Shastri and wrote: &quot;Happy Birthday @RaviShastriOfc Sir. Wishing you joy and happiness. Stay blessed.&quot;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Team India&#39;s chairman of selectors Sunil Joshi also wished Shastri on social media and his tweet read: &quot;Wishing the head of Indian men&#39;s cricket team, @RaviShastriOfc a very happy birthday. Stay safe stay healthy.&quot;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Shastri played 80 Tests and 150 ODIs for the country, scoring 3,830 and 3,108 runs respectively in the two formats. He was also a fine spinner as he scalped 151 and 129 wickets in Tests and ODIs respectively.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Shastri was also part of the Indian team that created history in England by lifting the 1983 World Cup.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>While donning the hat of a commentator after pulling down curtains over his illustrious cricket career, Shastri lent his voice to two of the most iconic moments in Indian cricket history - 2007 WT20 win and 2011 World Cup victory.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Shastri is currently in his second stint as head coach of Team India and his contract expires after the 2021 T20 World Cup.<\/p>\r\n",
