The former India skipper has occasionally shares pictures of his pets, including Labradors and Golden Retrievers, on social media, like he did during the Covid-19 enforced lockdown last year.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>In May 2020, Shastri had posted pictures of him surrounded by five dogs during lockdown, which went viral.<\/p>\r\n",
