Am I the only one irritated by Shastri standing in front of the camera when India wins?

When we are struggling to win or we've lost matches the Indian coach prefers to send the captain or a player to the press conferences. There the player has to take the tough questions and try to explain what went wrong. But when we win, Shastri is the first in line with bombastic words. It's almost as if he is building an image where he is associated with success, and trying to avoid appearing anywhere during defeats.

Perhaps Shastri is afraid that his house will get pelted with stones or his effigy burnt if he is associated with losses, and given the Indian public that's a real possibility. Still one wishes he showed up less in the limelight only when India wins.
