Outgoing head coach Ravi Shastri feels his successor Rahul Draivd has inherited a "great team" and backed him to raise the bar with his wealth of experience as a player and coach.

The T20 World Cup game against Namibia was Shastri's last day in the office as the head coach.

"There is one thing missing, that is (winning the) ICC tournament. They will get a chance and Rahul Dravid has come as a coach, I wish him all the luck.

"He is a great player, got the stature, he has done the yards as a coach, to further take this team over the next few years and raise the bar," Shastri said at the virtual post-match media interaction on Monday.
