Too much time and money being spent by BCCI over Ravi Shastri's position which will be unchanged no matter what his detractors feel

Is the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) along with the Supreme Court-appointed Committee of Administrators wasting time, money and playing with the emotions of Team India head coach aspirants? Yes, because it's no secret that Ravi Shastri will keep his job despite all talk about his position being shaky.
Sure, Shastri cannot boast of a World title in both forms of limited overs cricket (teams under him have lost two 50-50 World Cup semis and one T20 semi-final) and he will be challenged to have a win of that magnitude on his CV by the time next year's T20 World Cup in Australia ends. But he hasn't fared disastrously in Tests and the shorter forms either to be replaced. I don't remember a coach being axed after a semi-final finish at a World Cup, so why should cricket lovers believe that will happen in a tolerant cricket set-up like India's?
