1
00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:02,640
That's four in a row there is 
good. 

2
00:00:02,680 --> 00:00:06,360
They're going to blow next in 
the prodigal son turn Messiah. 

3
00:00:07,240 --> 00:00:09,120
Gets a second hundred in 
successive. 

4
00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:14,120
In their running romantic style,
the whole of Bengal are on their

5
00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:17,720
feet. 
Diego not that important. 

6
00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:21,400
He's gone the next ball. 
The dream has diminished for 

7
00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:24,680
Carlos Craft win favourable 
scenes here at the moment. 

8
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:29,920
Welcome to the BCCI pod. 
We are recording this on 

9
00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:33,880
Saturday the 16th of May. 
We are recording this because 

10
00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:41,320
Saarthak Nebola key Why is 
bowlers for this IPL Saarthak 

11
00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:47,720
Nebola what is a Suryavanshi for
this IPL or what'sel Nebola? 

12
00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:54,120
What is Rahane? 
I think quickly discuss Karne. 

13
00:00:54,840 --> 00:01:03,160
I think I am KKR's biggest fan. 
I have realized that I have 

14
00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:07,080
passed on this disease to 
another generation all together,

15
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:21,880
and that generation is now 
talking in you know, so I have. 

16
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:26,720
Show him the good stuff. 
I have bro. 

17
00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:32,440
I have heard him tell like RCB 
fans in the building key. 

18
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:35,160
Listen, you guys have won only 
one IPL. 

19
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:38,360
Please don't talk to me. 
I have won three IPL's. 

20
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:41,480
I'm like, OK, this is, this is 
nice. 

21
00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:43,920
This is nice. 
But RCB's also won 33. 

22
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:48,480
IPL's right once are three. 
IPL. 

23
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:54,120
'S. 
But would WPL, you know, please 

24
00:01:54,480 --> 00:02:04,040
like like Wobi or please like 
this gentleman who I'm talking 

25
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:09,639
about, my son, he's also a very,
very keen WPL fan. 

26
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:18,240
He's going to tell key WPL I 
like competition hand, punch 

27
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:21,120
team hand on all of that. 
So he'll probably school the 

28
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:26,560
other other party before anybody
tries to claim three IP LS on 

29
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:28,840
that side. 
But it's been fascinating. 

30
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:34,080
Like I have seen people my 
generation like being absolutely

31
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:39,840
disinterested and then like kids
and everybody in their 20s being

32
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:42,920
as interested as as I was 
probably last year. 

33
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:47,960
So there is probably some level 
of age catching up. 

34
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:52,160
I also want to start the part by
saying that at this point in 

35
00:02:52,160 --> 00:03:01,480
time, Nishant Jisko bought Zada 
Kuch Sunim Ilata for shitting on

36
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:09,360
PBKS in our mid season review 
watch Hasreah America. 

37
00:03:09,920 --> 00:03:15,320
So with that Sartak or Watsal 
Watsal, why don't you answer 

38
00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:17,600
first? 
What is a Rahane? 

39
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:22,360
And then we'll get to. 
Sartak before. 

40
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:25,360
Sorry, sorry Watsal, before you 
start, I just want to add one 

41
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:28,640
more thing before you. 
Very crucial to Rahane. 

42
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:32,280
Eden Gardens falls north of 
60,000 people. 

43
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:36,720
Today is a Saturday and less 
than 30,000 have turned down. 

44
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:39,600
For a game that is very crucial.
The floor is yours. 

45
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:46,760
I mean, yeah, I think I would 
say that Ranek is one of the 

46
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:50,160
reasons why so few people have 
also turned up. 

47
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:57,280
And the other, the other being, 
I don't know, because of what's 

48
00:03:57,280 --> 00:03:58,960
happened here in the past couple
of weeks. 

49
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:03,200
I think there is just a just a 
bit of apprehension that people 

50
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:07,320
are, I don't know, maybe 
apprehensive about going into a 

51
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:12,880
match or stepping out maybe. 
But regardless of that, to 

52
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:18,519
answer MB's question, Rahane is 
Rahane is an Indian concept, but

53
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:24,440
he is, I don't know, like how 
how he's managed to easel his 

54
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:30,240
way so far and just keep on 
playing and keep on going 

55
00:04:31,280 --> 00:04:34,360
despite not performing for two 
seasons in a row and still 

56
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:38,360
having people who genuinely 
think that he's he deserves his 

57
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:41,120
place in the side and deserves 
to be captain of the team 

58
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:46,560
assist. 
I yeah, I genuinely thought that

59
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:49,480
by this time, you know, Rani 
would be ousted from the team 

60
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:52,960
and maybe someone else like Rink
would have been made the 

61
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:56,640
captain. 
But the fact that there we have 

62
00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:59,920
no standards and we just keep on
sticking with the same old 

63
00:04:59,920 --> 00:05:03,680
formula, which never ever works 
on a consistent basis is just 

64
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:06,680
yeah. 
And the worst part is this mini 

65
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:10,080
kind of run that KKR has been in
for the past two or three weeks.

66
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:15,080
It's just going to keep repose 
the fit and they will just yeah,

67
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:20,120
carry on with this shit show for
another for another season till 

68
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:24,440
it fails again and we go we go 
on that merry go round again. 

69
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:28,080
Not a not a great time to be a 
KKR fan for anyone. 

70
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:32,480
Do you reckon because there is 
one more season left in the 

71
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:36,840
cycle and there are very few 
captaincy options that will be 

72
00:05:36,840 --> 00:05:40,440
available through the mini 
option, even within the teams 

73
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:43,920
who are possibly thinking of, 
you know, refreshing their 

74
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:48,280
roster for the next cycle, they 
won't get to fully refresh at 

75
00:05:48,280 --> 00:05:51,400
this year's later mini option 
and they'll hold on to a few 

76
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:55,840
before the next option. 
They'll, you know, maybe do a 

77
00:05:55,840 --> 00:05:57,680
clear jettison, full jettison, 
clear out. 

78
00:05:58,280 --> 00:06:02,320
Do you reckon one of the reasons
that they might stick to Rahane 

79
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:08,760
is also because who else? 
I mean, literally anyone else 

80
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:14,800
would be an answer to that. 
But like ultimately, ultimately,

81
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:20,120
you know, especially in T 20s, I
think captaincy, it does play a 

82
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:22,840
part, but I feel that it's kind 
of rated. 

83
00:06:22,840 --> 00:06:26,760
I mean, you really that these 
days with the impacts up, you 

84
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:29,280
can change the game however you 
want and you can go in with 

85
00:06:29,280 --> 00:06:31,480
strategies and with the strategy
time out as well. 

86
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:34,760
The coaches can have an impact 
on the game from the outside, 

87
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:38,440
you know, much like like far 
more than you can have on like 

88
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:43,240
say a Test match or over there. 
But so I feel that as long as 

89
00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:47,320
you're pulling your weight as 
with your core skill set, I 

90
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:51,560
think that really captaincy just
for just for being a captain. 

91
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:55,920
I don't think anyone deserves a 
place in this side anymore on in

92
00:06:55,920 --> 00:07:01,720
the IPL or in T 20s generally. 
So I feel that I feel like you 

93
00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:04,880
can, you can like look to the 
future as well by investing in 

94
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:09,280
Rinku. 
Like he's he's, he's one of the 

95
00:07:09,280 --> 00:07:11,320
senior players in his domestic 
side as well. 

96
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:15,240
He's been a part of the Indian 
setup as well for, for 2-3 years

97
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:18,520
now. 
So like it would be, no, you 

98
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:21,880
would be doing no harm by, you 
know, proposing faith in him and

99
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:25,360
just you, you're just not going 
anywhere with Ramani. 

100
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:28,000
Like it's, it's not even a short
term fix. 

101
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:29,680
It's not even getting a short 
term success. 

102
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:33,760
And for the long term as well, 
you're not building any player 

103
00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:36,600
or any leader that can, you 
know, take over the mantle also.

104
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:42,160
So I feel that it's it's, it's, 
it's a call that they have to 

105
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:45,560
take at some stage, whether they
do it now or they do it after 

106
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:48,360
embarrassing themselves for 
another couple of seasons. 

107
00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:53,520
Yeah, I think then the like the 
next mega option they will clear

108
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:56,280
out because obviously Rahane 
also gets a year older. 

109
00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:58,600
He's no with all the respect, 
he's no spring shipping. 

110
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:01,320
So I think they might be even a 
clearer space. 

111
00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:03,080
I also actually want to ask you 
about. 

112
00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:08,360
So when you enter a option with 
about 60 crores in your budget 

113
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:11,800
and your total budget is 120 
crores, what is? 

114
00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:16,600
And we all know, right, the IPL 
auction time is like applying 

115
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:20,040
actual economic logic to it 
doesn't make sense and we won't 

116
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:22,360
go down that route. 
But how? 

117
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:28,080
How do you see as a KKR fan, 
what, 43 crores on effectively 

118
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:34,240
two players, one of whom has had
a history of not fulfilling both

119
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:39,480
his core skills and the other 
who has a long history of 

120
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:43,000
injury? 
And then to add 9 crores to a 

121
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:46,720
very, very decent bowler who 
unfortunately they couldn't play

122
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:52,680
for various reasons, right? 
How do you see but the first 243

123
00:08:52,680 --> 00:08:54,520
crores? 
How do you see that kind of 

124
00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:59,440
spend on two players who were 
never going to fulfill 14 

125
00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:01,840
matches at the best of their 
ability? 

126
00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:07,200
I would say the green one, they 
were kind of like they didn't go

127
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:11,680
for him, but like any, any team 
with that kind of purse would, 

128
00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:13,520
would eventually end up going 
for him. 

129
00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:16,920
Even though they they flunked a 
lot of the budget on him. 

130
00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:20,680
I think they went way overboard.
Even though Winky Mysore came 

131
00:09:20,680 --> 00:09:22,960
out after the auction and said 
that we weren't attached to 

132
00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:24,240
anyone. 
They were clearly attached to 

133
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:26,960
him. 
They really made-up them. 

134
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:30,520
Yeah. 
So they they definitely had 

135
00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:32,760
their mind made-up that come 
what may, we are going to, we 

136
00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:34,880
are going to get green with 
Patirana. 

137
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:37,200
It was it was a gamble that they
took. 

138
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:41,800
And yeah, it didn't pay off. 
Like he's today, he's playing 

139
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:44,840
his first game. 
So he's like been a non entity 

140
00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:48,600
this this season at least. 
Maybe if he does well in the 

141
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:51,840
next season, maybe he is, he can
be a retention candidate. 

142
00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:54,920
But again, I feel that his new 
bowl bowling really needs to 

143
00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:57,760
improve a lot and he needs to 
continue. 

144
00:09:58,320 --> 00:09:59,840
Injury record. 
Even at CSK. 

145
00:09:59,840 --> 00:10:04,440
He wasn't playing like he was a 
star at CSK, but he had an 

146
00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:06,040
injury record to kind of work 
through. 

147
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:09,040
Yeah, yeah, yeah. 
So that, that certainly doesn't 

148
00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:11,040
help. 
He didn't, he missed the World 

149
00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:12,920
Cup as well, but I'm not 
mistaken. 

150
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:17,360
So he he you can't, you can't 
rely. 

151
00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:20,400
You can't rely especially when 
you're investing so much in a 

152
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:24,240
particular player. 
You can't rely on on some on 

153
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:26,360
certain aspects. 
I feel that in the option they 

154
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:30,440
did not address of certain 
areas, they went very light on 

155
00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:34,000
the lower order batting like I 
that is one thing that has 

156
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:37,320
really like they didn't get a 
Russell replacement like that's 

157
00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:41,880
a huge hole that Russell has 
left which could not be filled 

158
00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:44,880
at all. 
They went for another, another 

159
00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:49,920
top order batter, top order 
batter who who wants to bat in 

160
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:54,320
the top three or, or open at 
least or at least minimum at #4 

161
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:58,840
not not lower than that. 
So and then that created a that 

162
00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:01,800
created a place that created a 
situation where, you know, 

163
00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:04,800
Rahane is just someone who is 
just there for his captaincy 

164
00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:09,680
because in terms of in terms of 
the top the top orders, like you

165
00:11:09,680 --> 00:11:14,400
see, Cypher has just got like a 
couple of games and Fin Allen. 

166
00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:17,520
He was also dropped in mid in 
the middle, just just because 

167
00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:21,040
there is that Rahane sized 
elephant in the room that cannot

168
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:23,200
be shaken off because he's going
to play every game because he's 

169
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:26,120
the captain. 
So they did not address that 

170
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:27,960
area. 
Just they just, they just went 

171
00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:31,200
with Rahman Pal. 
Rahman Pal is the only kind of 

172
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:32,560
lower order batsman that we 
have. 

173
00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:37,880
And apart from that it's, yeah, 
it's a, it's a very haphazard 

174
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:41,880
way of doing things. 
They did not they, they, they 

175
00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:43,800
thought that they could rely on 
Green's bowling more. 

176
00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:46,360
But he's just, he's never been 
AT20 bowler. 

177
00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:50,960
He's never done done very well 
with the ball at least maybe 

178
00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:55,920
he's had a couple of couple of 
decentish knots in the while 

179
00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:58,280
with the bad. 
But apart from that, he's he's 

180
00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:01,600
generally been the one in the 
other games as well that has 

181
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:04,080
just killed the momentum. 
He's just taken too many balls 

182
00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:08,280
to get in. 
And yeah, he's just, he's, he's,

183
00:12:08,560 --> 00:12:13,440
he's kind of, he's kind of just 
kind of taken the momentum away 

184
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:16,800
from whatever, whatever the 
previous batsmen have come and 

185
00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:21,480
done basically in, in most of 
the games apart from like maybe 

186
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:25,520
maybe one or two. 
So ultimately, ultimately the 

187
00:12:25,680 --> 00:12:28,920
and then of course, you have to 
say that they with the bowling, 

188
00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:32,520
they got very unlucky because we
have a lot of injuries. 

189
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:35,320
We've had a lot of injuries, 
like Akashdeep got injured, 

190
00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:43,600
Harshit got injured before. 
And. 

191
00:12:45,680 --> 00:12:51,040
The the. 
I doubt, I doubt do. 

192
00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:57,000
You mean happy? 
Do you mean happy is good? 

193
00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:01,000
Drink? 
Most of his, most of his. 

194
00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:06,400
Some leaders said no because he 
he bought most of his, he said 

195
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:10,480
I'll pay 50,00,000 or whatever 
to whoever chops the owners 

196
00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:15,080
head, which is an incredible way
to like function in our society.

197
00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:17,840
So that's where that's 
effective. 

198
00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:20,760
New India, That's effectively 
the most of his discussion, 

199
00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:22,360
right for you. 
All right. 

200
00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:35,840
And he cannot participate and 
he's not going to get a game for

201
00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:38,560
KKR, I don't think, anytime 
soon. 

202
00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:42,840
Right. 
I think before we move on to the

203
00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:49,280
bell of the ball, I thought good
time to talk about something 

204
00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:55,120
that I've been like terribly 
wrong about, but something that 

205
00:13:55,120 --> 00:14:00,000
that actually makes you happy. 
Because Bhuvaneshwar Kumar has 

206
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:09,800
just like, like this is big 2026
and he is absolutely killing it.

207
00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:16,560
And and you, you, you end up 
meeting people who are like, bro

208
00:14:16,560 --> 00:14:20,080
movie, bro, bro movie bro. 
And I'm like, yeah, I'm like, 

209
00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:23,800
it's, it's insane. 
I'm, I'm so, so happy for him 

210
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:31,680
because I am like this mascot 
for No Country for old men in 

211
00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:35,320
cricket. 
And, and I really, really 

212
00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:38,800
thought he, it's, it's coming to
an end. 

213
00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:43,400
And then he rolls back the years
him and Krunal for, for what 

214
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:45,600
it's worth. 
Do you remember in during 

215
00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:49,040
20/14/15? 
And this is when Hoovi had made 

216
00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:53,480
his debut, Xiaomi had made his 
debut umesh Yadav was going 

217
00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:55,440
good, Varun Naran was still 
around. 

218
00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:58,960
I know a bunch of people, bunch 
of people around the Indian, 

219
00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:00,680
kind of. 
I think Pankaj Singh had gone to

220
00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:06,400
Australia, England and the 
couple of others who had gone to

221
00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:09,960
Australia for the 2016 series at
the 2016 World Cup. 

222
00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:12,960
If you 2020 World Cup, if you 
look up India's World Cup, you 

223
00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:15,800
will find the name who hadn't 
played for India for a while. 

224
00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:19,600
That is Ashish Nehra. 
And the reason he got to playing

225
00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:22,240
for India was because he, I 
think he started playing for 

226
00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:24,760
franchise. 
And the thing with some bowlers,

227
00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:27,920
which was definitely true for 
Nera and his palm was that 

228
00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:30,040
they're exceptionally smart 
bowlers. 

229
00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:33,120
They're not just for, I'm not 
saying any of the newer crop are

230
00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:36,760
not smart, but I'm just saying 
these guys were had like a 

231
00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:40,560
tremendous amount of smartness 
about their brain about their 

232
00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:43,920
operation. 
And Nehra's Mark 2.2 when he 

233
00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:46,640
played at the 2016 World Cup, I 
think he played a few seasons 

234
00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:50,280
for CSK. 
Then you could tell that this is

235
00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:55,560
not improved, but this is a 
refreshed Nehra who maybe 

236
00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:59,400
doesn't have the legs as before,
but he's become even more lethal

237
00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:01,800
because now he's come with years
of experience. 

238
00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:05,000
He knows exactly what to do. 
He's not overstretching. 

239
00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:08,840
He knows he just needs to bowl 4
overs and ball after ball. 

240
00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:10,960
He's landing it exactly where he
needs to. 

241
00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:15,880
And I think that is the mark of 
that is the mark of a 

242
00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:22,880
tremendously aware cricketer who
is, you know, he's been fit in 

243
00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:26,240
the last few years. 
He's bowled well, but not this 

244
00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:28,240
well. 
And I think what's helped him is

245
00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:31,720
to have Hazelwood on the other 
end, Duffy, sometimes when 

246
00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:35,400
Hazelwood wasn't available. 
And so they took care of the 

247
00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:39,440
seam and they hit the deck stuff
and who we could just bowl full 

248
00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:42,520
and you know, with with his 
wonderful team presentation. 

249
00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:46,720
But I think it's that I would 
not be surprised if especially 

250
00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:50,440
in the absence of Bumrah from at
least the next few months, see, 

251
00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:54,360
I don't foresee Bumrah playing 
too many T20 series for India. 

252
00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:58,680
In the absence of Bumrah, I will
not be surprised to see a few 

253
00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:02,760
bowlers being given a run. 
Obviously, a younger crop Prince

254
00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:06,720
will play that Prince has not 
been selected into the NBA 

255
00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:09,200
sport. 
So I'm I'm expecting him to play

256
00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:11,119
for like be in the sport for 
India. 

257
00:17:11,599 --> 00:17:14,880
I will not be surprised if 
Agarkar and Co, you know, have 

258
00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:18,400
an eye on Bhuvaneshwar. 
If he's bowling so well and he 

259
00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:21,200
can hold the bat, he's not your 
number 8 anymore. 

260
00:17:21,599 --> 00:17:25,800
But he's in a good #9 #10 so #9 
so why not? 

261
00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:29,760
If the chance arises, if Siraj 
needs the rest, why not? 

262
00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:35,480
So amazing, amazing to watch. 
This reminded me of old Nehra G 

263
00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:41,400
it reminded me of Zach around 
2013, 2014 ish when he had 

264
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:44,160
stopped playing as much injury 
had taken over his body. 

265
00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:49,600
But just he almost kind of 
compressing how much you needed 

266
00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:54,440
of him made him that much more 
that much harder to play because

267
00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:56,480
he knew he was just going to 
bowl forward and leave and he 

268
00:17:56,480 --> 00:18:00,840
was just doing a great job. 
So very, very happy for who he 

269
00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:05,640
deserves everything coming his 
way and even if it's for one 

270
00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:09,040
series and he he gets the India 
capital to be valued. 

271
00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:12,840
What about Krunal? 
I mean, yeah, the the spell he 

272
00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:17,040
bowled against MI was yeah, that
was the last. 

273
00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:21,600
Like it reminded me of him. 
Like bowling in South Africa, 

274
00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:24,600
like in 2013. 
Was it when? 

275
00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:28,680
1818 Cape Town Day one. 2018 
Cape Town Day One South Africa 

276
00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:33,960
with 30 for three. 
Then ABW comes out sports scores

277
00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:38,960
I think 65 if I'm not mistaken 
and it's a 65 that only ABWS can

278
00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:41,600
score. 
And on a different day in 

279
00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:46,240
Calcutta, Aravinda had sport 
just very similar innings where 

280
00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:50,800
he just hits a flurry of force. 
And again in the second innings 

281
00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:53,560
movie does well. 
And in the second Test match at 

282
00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:56,520
Centurion, the team management 
innings night. 

283
00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:01,680
And then in the third Test, he's
man of the match, I think. 

284
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:06,040
Shami is man of the match. 
Bumrah picks five, I think. 

285
00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:09,000
No, no, Bui Bui is man of the 
match. 

286
00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:13,200
I remember he picks. 
He scores a 30, takes a 3-4 in 

287
00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:17,280
the first innings and another 30
in the in the in in the last 

288
00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:19,880
innings. 
In the third innings, because 

289
00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:22,080
Shami Shami bowled really well, 
Bumrah. 

290
00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:24,440
Bumrah got a fiver. 
I say I'm not mistaken. 

291
00:19:25,120 --> 00:19:28,680
Bumrah got a fiver in the first 
innings but Bui second in. 

292
00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:32,080
Yeah, second inning, Shami had 
taken. 

293
00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:34,160
Yeah, Shami had taken a 
Pfeiffer, correct? 

294
00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:38,120
So, yeah, I mean very happy, 
very, very happy for a movie. 

295
00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:40,480
Lovely, lovely bowler thinking 
cricketer. 

296
00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:45,240
And I love what he said about he
was asked in that interview of 

297
00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:48,640
about process, about motivation.
That is like, no, you always go 

298
00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:50,480
to work. 
Adam Buzzwords. 

299
00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:58,640
Turning to SRH, any thoughts on 
how they have ended the reign of

300
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:01,960
Purple Patel and brought the new
era? 

301
00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:08,000
I like, I like Saket very much, 
very, very much. 

302
00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:15,200
I love how much energy and 
Nitish is coming in with I I'm a

303
00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:21,040
huge Ravi Chandran smart and fan
huge is is. 

304
00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:23,840
Please tell me his name is Ravi 
Chandran Smart and I have not 

305
00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:25,760
gotten it wrong. 
It is. 

306
00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:28,360
Thank God. 
I'm a huge fan. 

307
00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:32,440
I've watched him a lot for 
Karnataka and across 

308
00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:35,240
competitions. 
I was, yeah, I was a bit 

309
00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:37,240
disappointed with a couple of 
his innings. 

310
00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:40,440
I think especially the last 
innings at 9 of 1314, he just 

311
00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:44,240
couldn't get it out of his bat. 
I felt like just he was not 

312
00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:45,800
getting getting his shots 
through. 

313
00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:49,760
Not very tough wicket though. 
Yeah, yeah, it was, It was. 

314
00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:52,680
And you can't tell like two 
innings is not a sign of 

315
00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:55,000
anyone's talent, right? 
You know, somebody's done so 

316
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:57,280
well in domestic cricket and 
he's still young. 

317
00:20:57,280 --> 00:21:00,760
I hope they persist with him and
I hope someone invest in him 

318
00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:03,640
and, you know, just push them 
into first team. 

319
00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:07,320
He's that good. 
He'll come good, but very good 

320
00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:09,000
team. 
I was very happy because I did 

321
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:16,480
the preview for SRH with MV and 
one of my concerns was Unadkat 

322
00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:21,360
Hershel, Ishaan Malinga and Pat 
Cummins are not going to win the

323
00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:24,720
get into the playoffs. 
I was tremendously wrong about 

324
00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:26,920
Ishaan Malinga. 
Happy to take egg on the face. 

325
00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:33,720
Cummins is Cummins but I did not
see Prapulinga and Saket coming 

326
00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:35,400
like this. 
I did not see it at all. 

327
00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:40,920
So props to props to everyone at
SRH and love love the look of 

328
00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:44,640
Saket and Prapulinga. 
I think they've done well with 

329
00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:47,880
regards to their batting as well
if you think about it right, 

330
00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:52,440
Like especially Abhishek head 
class. 

331
00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:57,080
I mean that's all you need 
right? 

332
00:21:57,080 --> 00:22:01,160
At the end of the day, Ishan 
Kishan like goes without saying.

333
00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:04,840
Classen is top. 
No, he's orange or abhi. 

334
00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:12,440
It's because isolation didn't 
score too many either one or 

335
00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:14,640
two. 
So classen is either one or two 

336
00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:17,640
in the orange cap. 
Size Size Size 1. 

337
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:22,520
GAIL is 2, Classen is 3. 
Yeah. 

338
00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:25,600
For classen from #4 to get an 
orange cap is wild. 

339
00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:31,200
Yeah, but I feel that Classen is
is evolved in a way he's not. 

340
00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:36,080
He's not the Classen that he was
like during that World Cup run 

341
00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:39,200
that they had back then. 
He was, he was the main guy. 

342
00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:42,720
He was the one who was who had 
The Who had the true strike 

343
00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:45,200
rate, where The Who was taking 
on the bowlers. 

344
00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:47,360
Now he's become a bit more 
calculated. 

345
00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:50,720
He's taking, he's looking at the
situation, he's playing to the 

346
00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:52,800
situation, which is of course, 
yeah. 

347
00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:57,400
I mean, SRH do need that from 
him like because that gives the 

348
00:22:57,400 --> 00:23:00,200
freedom to Abhishek and to 
Travis and Tuition. 

349
00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:04,800
Just go out there and just put 
your foot down basically from 

350
00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:07,360
ball 1 because they know that 
class and will play the 

351
00:23:07,360 --> 00:23:10,640
situation and we will do what's 
necessary to big A-Team out of 

352
00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:12,200
the world if need be. 
Yeah. 

353
00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:16,440
And he's obviously, I mean, you,
you see how good a player he is.

354
00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:20,440
He's played a couple of innings,
like you said, he's where he's 

355
00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:24,080
taken his time before exploding.
And then there have been a 

356
00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:26,480
couple of innings where he's 
come and he started talking from

357
00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:28,880
very early. 
So he's been very good. 

358
00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:30,320
Abhishek's been really good 
actually. 

359
00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:33,440
I mean it's gone under the radar
because obviously there are 

360
00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:37,040
newer openers who are like a 
decade young or two Abhishek who

361
00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:41,160
have taken our breath away. 
But Abhishek gone really well. 

362
00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:44,960
He scored a lot of runs. 
I wish he bowled more. 

363
00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:49,600
I don't know if it's if it's 
just the design of the IPL with 

364
00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:52,280
its impact sub key. 
You know, the part timers don't 

365
00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:55,560
get enough opportunities. 
But I wish he bowled more. 

366
00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:58,720
It's always good to be multi 
dimensional as a cricketer 

367
00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:01,720
because even for India, you then
add a dimension, you are a 

368
00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:04,480
bowler in the top order. 
It adds to the balance. 

369
00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:07,840
But he's gone well. 
Ishan's gone well, Classen's 

370
00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:11,360
gone well. 
In the couple of innings cameos 

371
00:24:11,360 --> 00:24:13,440
that you know Sir Leela has 
done, he's done well. 

372
00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:16,360
Shivang is really nice. 
I like the look of him. 

373
00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:19,400
And Harsh Dubai. 
Harsh Dubai has been creating 

374
00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:21,200
waves in domestic cricket 
anywhere. 

375
00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:27,920
Yeah, so. 
Moving to Gujarat Titans, since 

376
00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:31,840
they are playing KKR at this 
point in time, they are. 

377
00:24:32,360 --> 00:24:39,280
I mean, I think this is a 
advanced version of that 2016 

378
00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:45,480
template that SRH had where they
had great bowlers, but they 

379
00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:48,880
would be happy to, let's say, 
defend 160. 

380
00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:51,560
Great bowlers bomb openers and 
that's. 

381
00:24:52,480 --> 00:25:02,120
It but but why it is elevated in
terms of success for for GTNN 

382
00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:06,640
and let's say it goes further is
because of the fact that Jason 

383
00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:09,640
Holder is also having his best 
season ever. 

384
00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:13,480
Yeah, yeah. 
Like I have this conversation on

385
00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:19,640
a on a daily basis where my kid 
refuses to agree with me that 

386
00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:21,640
Jason Holder doesn't play this 
well. 

387
00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:24,960
Generally he's like, no, he's 
the greatest. 

388
00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:29,360
He's like 3 wickets today, 4 
wickets today, 3 wickets today. 

389
00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:31,960
I'm like, bro, this is not 
normal. 

390
00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:34,920
But according to, I mean, if 
you're watching the IPL for the 

391
00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:39,080
first time and this is, this is 
what you see, then Jason Holder.

392
00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:42,720
Is meant also we've been waiting
for this Jason holder since that

393
00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:49,120
W Indies series in 20/19/20. 
Oh man I have messages from that

394
00:25:49,120 --> 00:25:53,480
test telling people bro this is 
the best test all rounder in 

395
00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:55,400
1919. 
Before, before the World Cup, 

396
00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:58,680
Yeah, he's four 202 not out in 
that barbarous. 

397
00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:03,040
He just. 
Discovered the reverse and that 

398
00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:05,240
just changed his career 
basically. 

399
00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:09,800
No, Also I think one of the 
reasons MB that you mentioned 

400
00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:15,280
why they're an updated version 
is so Sandeep Sharma has a skill

401
00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:19,760
set out had in 2016 and the 
other bowlers had a skill set. 

402
00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:25,840
Rabada, Siraj, Rashid are 
extremely well-rounded complete 

403
00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:29,240
bowlers in the sense that they 
will give you a baseline of 

404
00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:32,640
seven on 10 on most pitches, if 
not all pitches. 

405
00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:36,440
They're not like Ahmedabad has 
been spicy this IPL. 

406
00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:40,280
I'll have to say this, the pitch
has been really good from a 

407
00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:43,640
watchability perspective, from a
contest perspective, bowlers, 

408
00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:47,080
I've got something out of it 
which has been there in this 

409
00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:54,800
IPL, but Robara, Siraj, Raja, 
champion bowlers and it helps to

410
00:26:54,800 --> 00:26:57,480
have three bowlers of that 
pedigree. 

411
00:26:57,800 --> 00:27:02,600
Very few teams do, very few 
teams do and they've had to 

412
00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:06,120
sacrifice in the batting for it.
Sorry, yes, press it 100%. 

413
00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:10,600
Very good backup bowler. 
Then you have Psych Kishore 

414
00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:12,680
playing today, who's such a 
wonderful spin bowler. 

415
00:27:14,120 --> 00:27:17,320
We've been impressed with 
Arshad, who's clocked, what, 155

416
00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:20,960
at times this season. 
So yeah, they've got a solid 

417
00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:23,760
attack. 
It's the sacrifice in their 

418
00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:26,120
batting. 
But it's also really nice that 

419
00:27:26,120 --> 00:27:29,600
they gave Glenn Phillips a few 
games and they said, listen, we 

420
00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:32,840
we tried, it didn't work out. 
Now let's try out with Jason 

421
00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:36,360
Holder. 
We tried with, we tried with 

422
00:27:36,360 --> 00:27:39,520
this guy Shahrukh Khan. 
It didn't work out, so let's 

423
00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:42,520
give Nishan Sindhu who he's 
really good all rounder. 

424
00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:46,600
Nishan Sindhu will also bowl 
soon, if not this season, next 

425
00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:48,720
season. 
He's a lifetime spinner, 

426
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:51,200
seriously. 
Good all rounder, can bat, can 

427
00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:55,400
great fielder. 
So looking forward to him. 

428
00:27:55,920 --> 00:27:57,320
Great team. 
I love watching that. 

429
00:27:58,480 --> 00:28:00,520
Yeah, absolutely. 
Any word? 

430
00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:03,080
I think, yeah, yeah, go ahead 
with that. 

431
00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:07,640
Yeah, but I still think that GD,
the, the only place that they 

432
00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:11,560
will come short is again, you 
know, in those big day, in the 

433
00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:14,960
in the big game, in the 
knockouts, the Evan Galvis 

434
00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:19,280
effect will at some, in some 
part of their mind will 

435
00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:22,320
definitely be there. 
And Shubman Gill and Saisa 

436
00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:25,320
Darshan's minds when they take 
the crease to either chase or to

437
00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:28,960
bat first, because their batting
generally falls off a Cliff 

438
00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:31,600
after like after Holder 
basically. 

439
00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:38,800
So that is, that is wonderful. 
SI Evan Galbis effect drop? 

440
00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:43,680
What is the Evan Galbis effect? 
Who is an Evan Galbis? 

441
00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:51,240
Why is an Evan Galbis? 
And for that, for that, you just

442
00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:57,360
kindly request Star Sports. 
We tweet Karenki. 

443
00:28:57,440 --> 00:29:00,920
Those are in this major World 
Cup final highlights. 

444
00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:12,040
I meant 2023. 
Sorry, 23. 

445
00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:17,120
So basically basically because 
they don't have the depth in the

446
00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:20,920
batting that they will always in
a crunch game, in a big game 

447
00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:23,640
that that is always going to 
play on the on their minds and 

448
00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:25,240
that little bit of doubt. 
Can. 

449
00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:30,440
Yeah, spell do, basically. 
Yeah, I, I mean, before we move 

450
00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:35,800
on to Vaibhav, Surya and sheep, 
I thought it's important to take

451
00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:41,680
a moment out and and maybe smile
and laugh both at Mumbai 

452
00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:43,560
Indians. 
Yeah, like. 

453
00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:51,000
By MATLAB 44 years now you you 
you were told that this is like 

454
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:56,240
the greatest thing since sliced 
bread and then for years you've 

455
00:29:56,240 --> 00:30:01,440
also been told Ki Pakistan ET 
time PE ETI main saath captain 

456
00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:06,720
and it was a bad thing despite 
how entertaining they were and 

457
00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:10,360
now you come to. 
This where like there's just 

458
00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:15,480
like. 
Itna masala, itna masala like I 

459
00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:17,840
haven't been able to follow itna
masala. 

460
00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:23,520
So I will depend on Sarthak and 
Watsal to tell me Mumbai Indians

461
00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:28,840
and and how and how is the best 
league in the world like 

462
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:32,840
surviving with two teams 
eliminated and and it's and it's

463
00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:36,840
so bad that I that I realized 
one of these days early morning 

464
00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:39,920
watching highlights. 
Is that your table mate? 

465
00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:46,960
The Kate Vini 9th and 10th team 
cobot bar do hafta tournament or

466
00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:54,920
9th and 10th team I? 
Mean, yeah, they they have I 

467
00:30:54,960 --> 00:30:57,880
really, I really don't know what
to say about them. 

468
00:30:57,880 --> 00:31:00,840
They have everything. 
But then still, they have all 

469
00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:03,880
the resources, they have all, 
they have all the backing and 

470
00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:08,040
they have the richest man in 
India that is like not maybe the

471
00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:12,480
second richest man in India 
who's like who's owning them and

472
00:31:12,520 --> 00:31:16,360
who's who's been running them. 
And still they just find a way 

473
00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:22,440
to find a way to just, yeah, to 
just lose the plot. 

474
00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:25,440
Like, and they've been doing it 
for the past 2-3 years. 

475
00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:30,280
Like, I feel that they genuinely
need a lot of change. 

476
00:31:30,440 --> 00:31:34,000
Like they need to freshen it up.
They need to, they need to get 

477
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:37,640
rid of, get rid of the couple of
a couple of people who've just 

478
00:31:38,160 --> 00:31:40,440
who've just been there too long.
They've just run their course. 

479
00:31:41,160 --> 00:31:44,120
I think that that is the only 
way that things can change. 

480
00:31:44,120 --> 00:31:47,960
Otherwise there is just so many 
eagles inside that dressing room

481
00:31:48,200 --> 00:31:50,960
who do not who do not want to 
play as a team. 

482
00:31:50,960 --> 00:31:53,560
Maybe that that's the only thing
that kind of makes sense to me. 

483
00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:58,440
Apart from that, I really 
genuinely can't make out why a 

484
00:31:58,440 --> 00:32:03,040
team that is as talented and has
the tools that they have is just

485
00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:06,040
by the way, I the one thing that
I don't understand is why is 

486
00:32:06,120 --> 00:32:07,800
Bumrah still playing? 
Like why? 

487
00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:12,640
Why is the BCCI they do? 
Do they not care about in 

488
00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:14,960
cricket? 
Is it something like that? 

489
00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:17,000
Why? 
Why is he still being made to 

490
00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:20,120
play these dead rubbers and 
being made captain for no 

491
00:32:20,120 --> 00:32:22,120
reason? 
I really don't get that. 

492
00:32:22,640 --> 00:32:26,360
He's supposed to be one of the 
most prized assets that the 

493
00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:29,800
Indian team has. 
Why not just tell him to take 

494
00:32:29,880 --> 00:32:32,720
the last they eliminated 
anyways? 

495
00:32:33,760 --> 00:32:35,320
You're not gaining anything from
it. 

496
00:32:35,840 --> 00:32:37,680
I really don't get why Bumrah is
still playing. 

497
00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:40,680
He should just be poor to go on 
a vacation or something. 

498
00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:44,080
Yeah, that that will never 
happen and and we all know the 

499
00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:49,680
reason. 
Since so I think am I in 2020 

500
00:32:50,160 --> 00:32:55,040
was the highest form like the 
best T20 team you could assemble

501
00:32:55,560 --> 00:33:02,840
along with W Indies between say 
2011 to 2015 sixteen and 

502
00:33:02,840 --> 00:33:05,560
Pakistan between 2007 to 2010 
ish. 

503
00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:10,600
They was as complete, all bases 
covered, everything sorted. 

504
00:33:11,920 --> 00:33:15,760
You know, just constantly high 
performing hitters, top order 

505
00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:20,040
hitters, spin bashers, lower 
order hitters, anchor players, 

506
00:33:20,040 --> 00:33:22,720
fast bowlers, mystery spinners. 
They had these teams had 

507
00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:26,960
everything. 
And since that 2020 season, MI 

508
00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:32,960
have finished 5th, 10th, 4th, 
10th and 4th in the league 

509
00:33:32,960 --> 00:33:34,880
position. 
This year they'll finish I guess

510
00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:41,280
9th, 10 something like that. 
If if things go better and I I 

511
00:33:41,880 --> 00:33:46,400
put this question on my Twitter 
and one of the responses to that

512
00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:51,560
was that captain is a problem. 
And while sure he's not the 

513
00:33:51,560 --> 00:33:55,600
perfect captain, we all know how
poorly am I handled it and 

514
00:33:56,040 --> 00:33:59,920
within the team handle, the team
handled it when he came in 2024,

515
00:34:00,280 --> 00:34:03,240
we saw it happen in in real 
time, how the rest of the team 

516
00:34:03,240 --> 00:34:08,199
reacted to him. 
We saw last year things improve 

517
00:34:08,199 --> 00:34:13,639
a little bit and we've seen it 
completely blow up this year. 

518
00:34:14,080 --> 00:34:20,400
And it it, it is very weirdly 
reflective of a team that that 

519
00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:24,120
is a little entitled and I'm not
being disrespectful to players 

520
00:34:24,120 --> 00:34:27,920
there, but it just feels like 
they feel they should win just 

521
00:34:27,920 --> 00:34:31,840
by virtue of being around and it
has shown up. 

522
00:34:32,280 --> 00:34:33,000
Sorry. 
Go ahead, please. 

523
00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:36,080
Yeah, that that is definitely 
the issue. 

524
00:34:36,080 --> 00:34:41,040
They are, they are just taking 
things for granted and the, the 

525
00:34:41,040 --> 00:34:44,920
core, the core of the team is 
maybe, maybe the success that 

526
00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:48,679
they've had together. 
It's just the motivation is just

527
00:34:48,679 --> 00:34:50,760
not there. 
You know, just keep going, keep 

528
00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:53,280
going every year. 
Although the core that was there

529
00:34:53,280 --> 00:34:57,000
in 2020 who were entering their 
peak, they weren't super young. 

530
00:34:57,320 --> 00:34:58,880
They were entering their peak 
years. 

531
00:34:59,440 --> 00:35:01,880
It cannot be the same core in 
2026. 

532
00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:06,040
That means you are playing a lot
of really old players. 

533
00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:10,040
I think a few is fine. 
Experience is always good. 

534
00:35:10,040 --> 00:35:13,640
As IPL has shown over the years,
you've seen how experience 

535
00:35:13,640 --> 00:35:16,640
players add value. 
But to have a team full of them 

536
00:35:17,880 --> 00:35:21,280
is turning out to be a bit of a 
problem because you're not 

537
00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:25,520
getting that kind of pure 
explosive talent and like a 

538
00:35:25,720 --> 00:35:28,880
smattering of them. 
Also what is happening at MI is 

539
00:35:28,880 --> 00:35:35,360
very oddly mirroring what's 
going on at another comparable 

540
00:35:35,360 --> 00:35:39,080
super team across the pond in 
Spain. 

541
00:35:39,480 --> 00:35:43,880
Where I think Real Madrid show 
should not be, should now be 

542
00:35:43,880 --> 00:35:46,000
cast on stoplights or Colors 
series. 

543
00:35:46,440 --> 00:35:50,240
I would pay a lot of money to 
watch it everyday. 

544
00:35:50,520 --> 00:35:53,400
I would inhale it. 
Because, for the uninitiated, 

545
00:35:53,480 --> 00:36:01,840
Real Madrid player manager, 
press conference journalist. 

546
00:36:12,520 --> 00:36:19,760
President Unka coach, star 
player, one of the star players,

547
00:36:20,120 --> 00:36:23,520
he's not even talking to the 
coach, he's talking to the press

548
00:36:23,520 --> 00:36:34,000
saying real time big boss style 
show. 

549
00:36:34,480 --> 00:36:37,640
Because this is because these 
are all millionaires, 

550
00:36:37,640 --> 00:36:39,960
billionaires doing this 
nonsense. 

551
00:36:40,280 --> 00:36:43,000
And I'm not for one saying that 
MI dressing room is like that, 

552
00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:45,720
of course not. 
But it is. 

553
00:36:45,760 --> 00:36:48,280
When super teams collapse, they 
collapse. 

554
00:36:48,280 --> 00:36:50,080
Funnily, they don't collapse 
normally. 

555
00:36:50,080 --> 00:36:53,480
TFR few team, few results go 
wrong, few results go right, 

556
00:36:53,480 --> 00:36:56,440
just luck runs out. 
When super teams collapse is 

557
00:36:56,440 --> 00:36:58,720
always a bit something goes 
horribly wrong. 

558
00:36:59,200 --> 00:37:01,720
And what's happened with Hardik 
in the last few weeks has been 

559
00:37:01,720 --> 00:37:03,920
pretty terrible. 
He's by no means perfect. 

560
00:37:04,440 --> 00:37:06,360
He's not had a great season. 
Of course. 

561
00:37:06,680 --> 00:37:09,200
And it doesn't help that he 
wants to be in the center of the

562
00:37:09,200 --> 00:37:12,320
camera flame. 
But he's an exceptionally 

563
00:37:12,320 --> 00:37:16,000
talented cricketer, and the 
decision to get him over to MI 

564
00:37:16,520 --> 00:37:19,400
was not his. 
It was a decision made by the 

565
00:37:19,400 --> 00:37:22,920
ownership. 
So to make him the scapegoat is,

566
00:37:23,360 --> 00:37:25,920
you know, hitting a cardboard 
target, which is it's 

567
00:37:25,920 --> 00:37:27,320
convenient, but it's not the 
answer. 

568
00:37:28,360 --> 00:37:30,320
So, yeah, I mean, very, very 
funny. 

569
00:37:30,760 --> 00:37:36,000
And mega auction May I have no 
doubt that a lot of these people

570
00:37:36,080 --> 00:37:37,800
will go. 
Yeah, they have to. 

571
00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:39,240
They have to. 
Move, they have to go. 

572
00:37:39,240 --> 00:37:41,360
It's time. 
OK, They have achieved a lot 

573
00:37:41,360 --> 00:37:46,280
together, but I can see like the
two big ones have to go because 

574
00:37:46,280 --> 00:37:48,000
they're also going to be like 
really old. 

575
00:37:48,440 --> 00:37:51,560
And one of them is getting runs.
He's still getting very old. 

576
00:37:52,080 --> 00:37:53,920
So he might not even play that 
that song. 

577
00:37:54,400 --> 00:37:57,040
The other one who's only 
slightly younger, he has stopped

578
00:37:57,040 --> 00:37:59,760
getting runs. 
Only he's he's a watch 

579
00:37:59,760 --> 00:38:03,600
connoisseur these days, as our 
dear friend Envy has informed. 

580
00:38:05,240 --> 00:38:08,640
So he's probably, he's buying 
new watches or doing whatever. 

581
00:38:08,640 --> 00:38:11,960
But all jokes apart, he's not 
scoring runs at any runs. 

582
00:38:12,920 --> 00:38:19,400
So Kelega Com, Rickleton, Her 
Match, My Name and Namandir 

583
00:38:19,840 --> 00:38:23,680
batting very well, but dropping 
catches that if somebody drops 

584
00:38:23,680 --> 00:38:27,160
at a school ground, they'll be 
butchered for dropping those 

585
00:38:27,160 --> 00:38:32,320
catches. 
So lots of problems is the 

586
00:38:32,320 --> 00:38:34,880
coaching staff, does that need a
refresh? 

587
00:38:34,880 --> 00:38:37,480
It's still the same people who 
are in the coaching staff. 

588
00:38:37,960 --> 00:38:40,920
Are they dated? 
It's OK to question them. 

589
00:38:40,920 --> 00:38:43,880
They're all legends of the game.
But it's OK to question them. 

590
00:38:43,880 --> 00:38:46,560
No, it's OK to question key. 
You have been here for six 

591
00:38:46,560 --> 00:38:49,360
years. 
That's that's two cycles. 

592
00:38:49,680 --> 00:38:50,480
What's up? 
Yeah. 

593
00:38:50,760 --> 00:38:54,720
Why have we not had one good 
season where we are at least in 

594
00:38:54,720 --> 00:38:59,400
the finals? 
It's OK to question two of the 

595
00:38:59,400 --> 00:39:02,080
greatest battles to have ever 
played the game. 

596
00:39:02,080 --> 00:39:05,000
What in the MI coaching stuff 
that it's not going right? 

597
00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:07,440
What's up? 
So yeah, lots of change. 

598
00:39:08,560 --> 00:39:13,600
But do you think they'll take 
the call a year before the 

599
00:39:14,360 --> 00:39:20,320
entire season or like like this 
three-year cycle ends or or do 

600
00:39:20,360 --> 00:39:21,120
they I. 
Don't think it makes. 

601
00:39:21,800 --> 00:39:24,520
Sense it doesn't make sense 
Option that is the problem 

602
00:39:24,520 --> 00:39:30,480
Option the mini option 
replacement option both tumko 

603
00:39:30,480 --> 00:39:36,000
bade option MI car replacement 
will be big refresh like full 

604
00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:40,320
squad refresh over can. 
Somebody can somebody explain 

605
00:39:40,320 --> 00:39:44,200
what is this Harshdeep and Tilak
thing that is happening? 

606
00:39:44,200 --> 00:39:47,320
Yeah. 
So 2-3 days, like so Punjab 

607
00:39:47,320 --> 00:39:52,080
played, Punjab played MI right. 
And a couple of days or the day 

608
00:39:52,080 --> 00:39:56,520
before Harsdeep, who is pretty, 
who's, you know, pretty frequent

609
00:39:56,520 --> 00:40:01,120
with his reels and snapchats and
what not, he and he has a level 

610
00:40:01,120 --> 00:40:04,160
of banter with his teammates and
you know, India teammates and 

611
00:40:04,160 --> 00:40:07,160
all that. 
So he was, I think in a lounge 

612
00:40:07,600 --> 00:40:12,320
opposite the MI team and he 
looked up to Tilak Verma and he 

613
00:40:12,320 --> 00:40:15,480
said, Hey, Andre sunscreen 
Lagaya. 

614
00:40:15,920 --> 00:40:21,400
And he he said it in a way of 
yes, these were his exact words.

615
00:40:21,440 --> 00:40:25,000
I'm not paraphrasing. 
And you could tell that Tilak 

616
00:40:25,000 --> 00:40:28,480
Verma, he smiled through it, but
he wasn't chuffed. 

617
00:40:28,960 --> 00:40:32,440
With being called andhera 
obviously and it goes back to 

618
00:40:33,080 --> 00:40:36,760
what we are taught as good 
things to say and not OK to say 

619
00:40:36,760 --> 00:40:38,840
when we are kids. 
We just think that it's OK to 

620
00:40:38,840 --> 00:40:40,680
talk like this amongst friends 
when it's really not. 

621
00:40:41,200 --> 00:40:44,760
Any who one day passes by people
have noticed this. 

622
00:40:44,760 --> 00:40:47,760
There is a lot of discourse E 
what is this for exist. 

623
00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:51,840
And then tilak Verma obliterates
Punjab right? 

624
00:40:51,840 --> 00:40:56,840
That is 1L of ending secret. 
And Emma is reaction to this is 

625
00:40:57,040 --> 00:41:00,120
to put a video out where Tilak 
Verma holds the Maratha match 

626
00:41:00,120 --> 00:41:02,320
trophy and the Super Striker 
trophy and all that nonsense. 

627
00:41:02,720 --> 00:41:06,240
And it's dark in the photo in 
the video, sorry. 

628
00:41:06,880 --> 00:41:11,720
And it's like fading into 
bright, fading to brightness or 

629
00:41:11,720 --> 00:41:12,640
blowing up whatever. 
Sorry. 

630
00:41:13,160 --> 00:41:16,320
So. 
And the song they've chosen is 

631
00:41:16,320 --> 00:41:19,160
Channa Mereya's worst andhera 
Tera Manila. 

632
00:41:19,640 --> 00:41:22,720
I'm not making this up. 
I wish I was and we are still 

633
00:41:22,720 --> 00:41:26,760
not done MV and what's up? 
And our Shrutas and Shruti's 

634
00:41:27,360 --> 00:41:30,120
because the day after they are 
saying, OK, we'll do brand 

635
00:41:30,120 --> 00:41:31,840
placement. 
And one of the brands that they 

636
00:41:31,840 --> 00:41:34,120
work with is Plum skin care or 
healthcare, whatever. 

637
00:41:34,560 --> 00:41:38,680
And they have now taken the 
camera and spoken to every MI 

638
00:41:38,680 --> 00:41:41,480
player saying, what is your skin
care routine sunscreen like? 

639
00:41:42,080 --> 00:41:44,440
I wish any of that was made-up. 
It is not. 

640
00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:48,840
And my read for this is Sabka 
phone chain low, Twitter chain 

641
00:41:48,840 --> 00:41:51,800
low or social media ban inside 
Sabka. 

642
00:41:52,600 --> 00:41:54,960
It's not just an Ashdeep. 
It's just like you're not 

643
00:41:54,960 --> 00:41:59,280
allowed on social media as a 
franchise like like IPL team 

644
00:41:59,280 --> 00:42:02,280
handle social media, team handle
your social media. 

645
00:42:02,360 --> 00:42:06,600
You're not fit, you don't have 
the IQ points, your IQ points 

646
00:42:06,600 --> 00:42:09,960
barely match your shoes size. 
So it's it has to stop at some 

647
00:42:09,960 --> 00:42:13,400
point. 
Remembering Kunal Kamras golden 

648
00:42:13,400 --> 00:42:17,160
words which I can't say on the 
board but key. 

649
00:42:17,800 --> 00:42:26,440
Internet and that is like it 
sounds so I have a very weird 

650
00:42:26,440 --> 00:42:29,920
theory about Internet, right. 
I think people who are less 

651
00:42:29,920 --> 00:42:31,360
privileged should get free 
Internet. 

652
00:42:31,760 --> 00:42:35,800
People who want to buy broadband
and Internet who and they're 

653
00:42:35,800 --> 00:42:38,040
waiting to buy it because they 
have the means to buy it right. 

654
00:42:38,240 --> 00:42:40,640
The moment you show that you 
have the means to buy Internet, 

655
00:42:41,040 --> 00:42:43,560
you have to go through a test, 
you have to go through an EQ 

656
00:42:43,680 --> 00:42:46,800
test, you have to go through an 
IQ test and only if you pass a 

657
00:42:46,800 --> 00:42:49,960
threshold are you allowed to 
have a connection Internet 

658
00:42:49,960 --> 00:42:53,160
connect up Internet to he 
allowed me and it's a very 

659
00:42:53,160 --> 00:42:56,200
cancellable thing and please 
cancel me if you want to all 

660
00:42:56,200 --> 00:42:59,560
good man. 
But it is what it is those who 

661
00:42:59,560 --> 00:43:04,000
are they just it is a suspect 
and the only way to clear this 

662
00:43:04,000 --> 00:43:09,080
aspect is to say boss, you have 
to be at least you have your IQ 

663
00:43:09,080 --> 00:43:12,360
has to be more than 20 man. 
It can't be in single digits 

664
00:43:12,880 --> 00:43:16,680
because this is what it then it 
comes down to the banter. 

665
00:43:16,760 --> 00:43:21,920
I think Ritesh last year he said
he made fun of that. 

666
00:43:21,920 --> 00:43:25,600
Those side lead to Sambar song 
and that became a thing. 

667
00:43:25,960 --> 00:43:30,760
And it crosses the line very 
quickly between, you know, you, 

668
00:43:31,000 --> 00:43:34,440
you make banter as references. 
I can call you an old man and 

669
00:43:34,440 --> 00:43:36,120
it's not me being ageist or 
whatever. 

670
00:43:36,120 --> 00:43:38,680
I'll just call you as a banter 
and it will be set as a banter 

671
00:43:38,680 --> 00:43:40,080
and it will be over within 2 
seconds. 

672
00:43:40,480 --> 00:43:43,520
But I will not call you an old 
man if I know A, you're 

673
00:43:43,520 --> 00:43:47,280
uncomfortable with it, B, if you
I know you have a knee problem 

674
00:43:47,720 --> 00:43:50,560
or you know, you are old and 
you're facing or you're anxious 

675
00:43:50,560 --> 00:43:54,000
about, you know, age catching up
with you, then I won't call you 

676
00:43:54,000 --> 00:43:57,240
that. 
So that's the context. 

677
00:43:57,800 --> 00:44:01,240
So to make remarks of someone's 
skin colour and to turn that 

678
00:44:01,240 --> 00:44:05,200
into a banterous moment, it says
everything about the people 

679
00:44:05,200 --> 00:44:08,000
handling the franchise, what the
franchise are OK with. 

680
00:44:08,520 --> 00:44:11,480
And it says horrible things 
about Ashley, by the way. 

681
00:44:11,600 --> 00:44:15,040
And he's followed up with 
somebody on social media, he who

682
00:44:15,360 --> 00:44:19,240
wrote to him saying Buddy 
Kakaro, Aparbi, Rosabi, Karu and

683
00:44:19,240 --> 00:44:24,080
Ashdeep responds to him was 
Jinke pass, you know, chewing 

684
00:44:24,080 --> 00:44:29,360
gum. 
So basically what he said was 

685
00:44:29,360 --> 00:44:35,320
he, you know, too Gharib to talk
to me. 

686
00:44:35,680 --> 00:44:38,280
And Archdeep is a lovely person.
If you've heard the Gaurav 

687
00:44:38,280 --> 00:44:40,760
Kapoor episode, he's clearly a 
lovely boy. 

688
00:44:42,520 --> 00:44:44,920
Not. 
Having I think I'll I'll among 

689
00:44:44,920 --> 00:44:47,320
the top three, I'll go on a 
tangent, please. 

690
00:44:47,440 --> 00:44:53,680
I'll go on a tangent but I say 
this to people randomly I think,

691
00:44:54,120 --> 00:44:57,040
and I said this on the podcast 
also multiple times. 

692
00:44:58,040 --> 00:45:04,760
It is baffling, bizarre and very
IPL that all these IPL teams 

693
00:45:05,120 --> 00:45:09,680
have no access to their own 
footage and that's the reason 

694
00:45:10,000 --> 00:45:15,800
why they end up having to make 
all of this nonsense content all

695
00:45:15,800 --> 00:45:18,680
the fucking time. 
If they had access to their 

696
00:45:18,680 --> 00:45:20,760
content. 
I disagree. 

697
00:45:20,760 --> 00:45:25,320
Historic or otherwise. 
Many, I am saying many are bhat 

698
00:45:25,320 --> 00:45:26,840
kambanta. 
Bhat Kambanta. 

699
00:45:27,200 --> 00:45:32,760
If you look at like see if I if 
I have to look at a social media

700
00:45:32,760 --> 00:45:38,360
that a social media or or let's 
say a online presence of another

701
00:45:38,360 --> 00:45:43,320
board which treats it as an 
online presence like a social 

702
00:45:43,320 --> 00:45:47,120
media company. 
That's CA unko liye social media

703
00:45:47,120 --> 00:45:51,200
he hai. 
They are not saying this is 

704
00:45:51,400 --> 00:45:56,160
online MATLAB, they treat it 
like that, but they do justice 

705
00:45:56,160 --> 00:45:59,640
to everything that they do, not 
just banter, not just 

706
00:45:59,640 --> 00:46:03,000
highlights, not just footage 
from the game, not just 

707
00:46:03,000 --> 00:46:05,920
coverage, everything. 
In this case, what's happening 

708
00:46:05,920 --> 00:46:11,400
is that, yeah, Team Kajo, social
media, first of all, there is 

709
00:46:11,400 --> 00:46:14,560
immense pressure on them. 
Be there. 

710
00:46:14,760 --> 00:46:21,880
Bunch of them are, of course, 
terribly sexist, racist, Jobi. 

711
00:46:26,400 --> 00:46:31,120
Exactly. 
Somebody like Archdeep has to 

712
00:46:31,520 --> 00:46:35,320
essentially survive because he's
essentially figured by social 

713
00:46:35,320 --> 00:46:41,200
media. 
And then he obviously sees how 

714
00:46:41,200 --> 00:46:44,080
the others are behaving, so this
is what he'll do. 

715
00:46:44,560 --> 00:46:47,760
No, but then I wouldn't. 
I wouldn't remove agency from 

716
00:46:47,800 --> 00:46:51,320
Ajit chose to use those words. 
So I wouldn't, I wouldn't 

717
00:46:51,320 --> 00:46:54,040
absolve him because I'm not 
absolving him. 

718
00:46:54,080 --> 00:46:56,280
I'm not absolving him. 
I'm saying he's a no. 

719
00:46:56,280 --> 00:46:58,760
I know, I know. 
I'm just saying, yeah, I'm like,

720
00:46:58,960 --> 00:47:02,560
I'm like, it just exaggerates. 
Of course, we are free to give 

721
00:47:02,560 --> 00:47:06,160
him all the leeway considering 
cricket is all is he all that he

722
00:47:06,160 --> 00:47:11,960
has had and he has had no life 
outside of it and he has had no 

723
00:47:11,960 --> 00:47:14,840
education. 
He has had no social media 

724
00:47:14,840 --> 00:47:17,920
training for that matter, no 
understanding of privilege, no 

725
00:47:17,920 --> 00:47:19,800
understand all of that. 
Take it. 

726
00:47:20,200 --> 00:47:24,680
But I think at that level up he 
critical hecky by other two 

727
00:47:24,680 --> 00:47:27,240
social media use. 
Karena could be then. 

728
00:47:32,000 --> 00:47:35,880
You hit such a important point, 
he the moment. 

729
00:47:36,360 --> 00:47:41,320
You. 
Join IPL or you join the 

730
00:47:41,320 --> 00:47:46,640
national team, you have to 
undergo a rigorous media optics 

731
00:47:46,640 --> 00:47:48,840
training and I choose those 
words carefully. 

732
00:47:49,320 --> 00:47:54,400
Look, the BCCI or any IPL team 
cannot, It's not under their 

733
00:47:54,400 --> 00:47:58,720
purview to educate these 25 to 
30 to 35 year olds. 

734
00:47:59,120 --> 00:48:03,280
Educate, you know, because 
they'll be like we are here to 

735
00:48:03,280 --> 00:48:05,240
play cricket, let us speak. 
But that is fine. 

736
00:48:05,440 --> 00:48:09,320
I'm, I'm not suggesting they 
should teach them how to be, but

737
00:48:09,320 --> 00:48:12,360
the training that will happen 
has to be that what is OK to 

738
00:48:12,360 --> 00:48:14,560
say? 
What is not OK to say. 

739
00:48:14,560 --> 00:48:17,720
And now that you're here, you 
are wearing this training gear, 

740
00:48:17,720 --> 00:48:19,600
you're wearing this Crest on 
your left chest. 

741
00:48:20,040 --> 00:48:22,360
You represent a bigger entity 
than you. 

742
00:48:22,800 --> 00:48:26,600
So everything you say is also a 
representative of the team 

743
00:48:26,600 --> 00:48:28,840
Europe, the team whose jersey 
you're wearing. 

744
00:48:29,280 --> 00:48:32,280
And there are 10 some things we 
stand by and some things we 

745
00:48:32,280 --> 00:48:34,600
don't. 
So you are not going to say 

746
00:48:34,800 --> 00:48:41,480
XYZABCDEF and Overtime Kya Hoga.
This will always be a be an 

747
00:48:41,480 --> 00:48:44,680
iterative process. 
Overtime Kya Hoga you will start

748
00:48:44,680 --> 00:48:48,240
educating the younger people. 
Players would come in because 

749
00:48:48,240 --> 00:48:52,920
they'll be inquisitive and you 
will tell them. 

750
00:48:53,480 --> 00:48:57,280
I'm hoping somebody will tell 
them the bank calling Darren 

751
00:48:57,280 --> 00:49:01,800
Sami Kalu on Instagram. 
Even if you didn't mean to, to 

752
00:49:01,800 --> 00:49:05,640
be racist, right? 
It's just how you spoken to all 

753
00:49:05,640 --> 00:49:07,280
dark people all through your 
childhood. 

754
00:49:07,560 --> 00:49:10,360
You've not had the privilege of 
understanding that even 

755
00:49:10,440 --> 00:49:15,920
unconscious racism is racism and
calling him Carlo is 

756
00:49:16,240 --> 00:49:20,000
unacceptable. 
It's not just a it's not right, 

757
00:49:20,080 --> 00:49:25,360
it's unacceptable. 
Similarly, skin tone this, that 

758
00:49:25,360 --> 00:49:27,920
and 1010 other things. 
And I think media training is 

759
00:49:27,920 --> 00:49:31,680
very important. 
And I just think that at the IPL

760
00:49:31,680 --> 00:49:35,360
at least, and we are seeing it 
with the, you know, paper cheat 

761
00:49:35,360 --> 00:49:38,080
nonsense that's happening. 
Anyone suppose 10 tons, they 

762
00:49:38,080 --> 00:49:40,760
have a cheat available in their 
pocket to flash to the fucking 

763
00:49:40,760 --> 00:49:45,000
camera is the most like, just 
stop it when it's wild. 

764
00:49:45,360 --> 00:49:50,600
Anyway, we're seeing that it's 
11 players just doing their 

765
00:49:50,600 --> 00:49:53,400
thing. 
Not all teams are as cohesive as

766
00:49:53,400 --> 00:49:55,840
we would like that. 
So it's 11 individuals playing 

767
00:49:55,840 --> 00:49:59,440
that game. 
And Even so, once you do that, 

768
00:49:59,440 --> 00:50:04,840
you have to kind of they're also
trying to be a brand. 

769
00:50:05,240 --> 00:50:10,200
So people have seen Dortmund 
social media where on the India 

770
00:50:10,200 --> 00:50:16,640
duo added Wheels, there is a 
tiger dancing on Gullah Borian 

771
00:50:17,080 --> 00:50:19,480
because they want Indian cliques
and Indian audiences to 

772
00:50:19,480 --> 00:50:20,880
interact. 
And they're succeeding. 

773
00:50:20,920 --> 00:50:23,000
UNTS does the same, Liverpool 
does the same. 

774
00:50:23,680 --> 00:50:27,080
They've seen Ryanair and Wimpy's
cut Twitter, how they handle 

775
00:50:27,080 --> 00:50:28,640
that on Twitter and the stuff 
they do. 

776
00:50:29,120 --> 00:50:32,440
So they want to be fun and 
quirky and banter and keep it 

777
00:50:32,440 --> 00:50:33,720
like light. 
So. 

778
00:50:34,360 --> 00:50:37,080
Allow them to be themselves, 
allow them to express, allow 

779
00:50:37,080 --> 00:50:39,440
them to be authentic. 
We want players to be authentic.

780
00:50:39,440 --> 00:50:45,680
We don't want robots, but media 
train them. 

781
00:50:46,480 --> 00:50:49,600
Archdeep is hilarious when he's 
making self deprecating, self 

782
00:50:49,680 --> 00:50:52,360
deprecating jokes. 
He's hilarious when he's kidding

783
00:50:52,360 --> 00:50:54,640
with other people. 
He knows how to take a joke on 

784
00:50:54,640 --> 00:50:58,120
himself. 
It's a rare thing in India, but 

785
00:50:58,120 --> 00:50:59,720
don't make jokes on other 
people's skin colour. 

786
00:50:59,720 --> 00:51:01,600
That's a novel. 
So that's media training. 

787
00:51:01,600 --> 00:51:04,800
It has to happen and I think 
BCCI will get there soon. 

788
00:51:05,160 --> 00:51:08,440
They'll realize this is a few 
lines have been crossed in this 

789
00:51:08,440 --> 00:51:11,240
year's IPL. 
The Ajdeep incident will not. 

790
00:51:11,760 --> 00:51:14,560
Even if they don't address it 
for what it is, they'll have 

791
00:51:14,560 --> 00:51:16,160
taken note behind the scenes, 
I'm sure. 

792
00:51:16,640 --> 00:51:19,720
Yeah. 
Why is bowling? 

793
00:51:20,160 --> 00:51:22,640
What is bowling? 
Why is it needed? 

794
00:51:23,120 --> 00:51:31,600
I agree for OPS at AAJ Kisco, 
yeah, yesterday they hit him for

795
00:51:31,600 --> 00:51:34,160
four sixes on two different 
overs. 

796
00:51:34,200 --> 00:51:40,480
Man, he's not a bad. 
He's serious. 

797
00:51:41,200 --> 00:51:46,280
The other thing I don't like 
about the IPL is eliminate. 

798
00:51:46,280 --> 00:51:57,840
Eliminate team. 
He's not pride, not even vibes 

799
00:51:59,600 --> 00:52:07,480
teams or mini auction has been 
trying his best. 

800
00:52:08,320 --> 00:52:12,040
I'm saying in general those 
teams that are eliminated, not 

801
00:52:12,040 --> 00:52:30,400
in this particular case. 
Whatever happens, they will give

802
00:52:30,400 --> 00:52:44,160
you maximum returns or, so I 
guess it's fine. 

803
00:52:44,840 --> 00:52:47,320
I gave. 
I gave that person the same 

804
00:52:47,320 --> 00:52:56,760
logic like at the end of the 
season, these all these teams 

805
00:52:56,760 --> 00:53:00,320
start playing jeopardy in in in 
in very, very weird fashions. 

806
00:53:00,840 --> 00:53:05,640
So I, I like I shouldn't be 
betting against anything at this

807
00:53:05,640 --> 00:53:08,200
point anyway. 
It's like the whole situation is

808
00:53:08,200 --> 00:53:12,600
cuckoo. 
But we we and and also both of 

809
00:53:12,600 --> 00:53:18,480
you, please take some time out 
to also laugh at LSG after you 

810
00:53:18,480 --> 00:53:22,680
speak about I can do an. 
Entire podcasting podcast 

811
00:53:22,680 --> 00:53:27,280
laughing on LSG because I'm a 
Bengali. 

812
00:53:27,280 --> 00:53:33,440
I'm a 3rd 4th generation 
Monbagan fan and the same owners

813
00:53:33,560 --> 00:53:35,960
unfortunately. 
And Monbagan today is not 

814
00:53:35,960 --> 00:53:38,920
Monbagan alone. 
It's Monbagan Super chance and 

815
00:53:39,560 --> 00:53:49,000
again SG because initials. 
So I can, I can, I can do a full

816
00:53:49,000 --> 00:53:51,840
podcast. 
But yeah, what is the bowler? 

817
00:53:51,840 --> 00:53:55,880
I I genuinely think we even 
though there has been resistance

818
00:53:55,880 --> 00:53:58,560
from the teams and the captains 
about the impact sub and they 

819
00:53:58,560 --> 00:54:02,320
have been very outspoken, which 
I love that we this is not 

820
00:54:02,320 --> 00:54:04,280
right. 
I mean, guys are the impact sub.

821
00:54:04,760 --> 00:54:11,000
I think what Murali said was so 
revealing of the resignation 

822
00:54:11,000 --> 00:54:14,920
that he felt being a bowler with
1300 international wickets who 

823
00:54:14,920 --> 00:54:18,720
saying that sixes and fours here
by MATLAB, don't expect anything

824
00:54:18,720 --> 00:54:19,480
else. 
This is it. 

825
00:54:19,840 --> 00:54:23,400
This is what the like this 
tournament has been designed 

826
00:54:23,400 --> 00:54:25,040
for. 
This is what you have been fed 

827
00:54:25,040 --> 00:54:29,160
all these years and suddenly you
can't, you can't sound like just

828
00:54:29,160 --> 00:54:34,040
wish for something else, right? 
And so I mean like this is it. 

829
00:54:34,320 --> 00:54:38,320
The moment we make it 150 + 149 
match, sponsors will only go. 

830
00:54:38,320 --> 00:54:43,680
You will also not watch. 
And so it is like lap it up and 

831
00:54:43,680 --> 00:54:47,240
that's what it is. 
He asked the yellow pale the 

832
00:54:47,880 --> 00:54:50,760
They are 182 in 17 overs with 
the Titans. 

833
00:54:50,760 --> 00:54:54,640
Speaking of bowlers, Matisha 
Patirana lasted 8 balls then he 

834
00:54:54,640 --> 00:54:58,720
got injured. 
They are whacked, everyone. 

835
00:54:58,720 --> 00:55:05,520
Silly Finale Finale kidna 35 
balls 93 four fours, 10 sixes 

836
00:55:05,840 --> 00:55:07,800
so. 
KKR hit two sixes today. 

837
00:55:09,200 --> 00:55:12,720
Yeah, I was and I was good. 
Tomorrow, my, my piece and this 

838
00:55:12,720 --> 00:55:14,480
is because we're recording on 
the Saturday night. 

839
00:55:14,520 --> 00:55:17,440
Subscribe tomorrow. 
I am writing exactly about this,

840
00:55:17,440 --> 00:55:20,440
that how it's an inert product, 
incomplete product. 

841
00:55:20,440 --> 00:55:24,240
IPL, when you remove the central
tension of cricket, the cricket,

842
00:55:24,440 --> 00:55:26,840
the charm of cricket is in the 
back versus ball contest and you

843
00:55:26,840 --> 00:55:28,520
remove that, it's an incomplete 
product. 

844
00:55:28,960 --> 00:55:32,720
And I watched the BC versus PPKS
match at Portland. 

845
00:55:32,720 --> 00:55:37,160
I watched it fully. 
What bothered me was the end of 

846
00:55:37,160 --> 00:55:40,960
the game last 3-4 overs, how 
nonchalant it all was. 

847
00:55:41,280 --> 00:55:43,320
That OK, huh? 
We are chasing down the record 

848
00:55:43,320 --> 00:55:45,360
score. 
I mean, yeah, yeah, yeah. 

849
00:55:45,920 --> 00:55:49,200
And people just say, like, 
accepted it, that this is 

850
00:55:49,200 --> 00:55:53,920
normal, 265 can happen in 20 
overs and someone will chase it 

851
00:55:53,920 --> 00:55:56,080
down with eight balls to spare, 
No worries. 

852
00:55:56,400 --> 00:56:02,120
And the other day I think also 
in BC versus PBKS match, 

853
00:56:02,120 --> 00:56:05,520
coincidentally this time at 
Punjab's home Dharamshala, 

854
00:56:05,520 --> 00:56:09,640
possibly Lungi and GD Boulders 
slower which beat shares. 

855
00:56:09,920 --> 00:56:13,800
Shreyas got fully beaten but he 
so he just extended his bat and 

856
00:56:13,800 --> 00:56:16,400
the ball flew off his bat into a
six. 

857
00:56:16,840 --> 00:56:20,440
So something is not right. 
I mean you can't be fully beaten

858
00:56:20,440 --> 00:56:24,360
by something. 
Play with one like leaned out 

859
00:56:24,360 --> 00:56:30,680
hand and then get a six for it. 
So Abhi who is going to break it

860
00:56:30,800 --> 00:56:36,080
to Dumalji and JJ by can we have
180? 

861
00:56:36,080 --> 00:56:39,720
We don't need 150. 
Can we have 180 play 190 please?

862
00:56:40,320 --> 00:56:42,240
Daiso, please. 
Let's not. 

863
00:56:42,520 --> 00:56:45,120
Let's really not. 
The problem, the problem here is

864
00:56:45,120 --> 00:56:47,000
key. 
They don't want that, right? 

865
00:56:47,000 --> 00:56:49,440
Because if you see the marketing
there, the marketing that 

866
00:56:49,440 --> 00:56:53,680
they're doing around this is 
like 250 scores are being chased

867
00:56:53,680 --> 00:56:58,440
like, and the, the who's going 
to score the 1st 300? 

868
00:56:58,440 --> 00:57:00,520
And that's what they're 
marketing it on. 

869
00:57:00,520 --> 00:57:03,960
So like they're clearly they're 
clearly like oblivious to what 

870
00:57:04,360 --> 00:57:06,880
what people want and what people
actually want to see. 

871
00:57:07,480 --> 00:57:10,680
It's again, it's the casual fan 
versus the die hard. 

872
00:57:10,680 --> 00:57:14,400
Really. 
I mean, the die hard cannot see 

873
00:57:14,400 --> 00:57:17,320
this as proper cricket. 
They cannot see this as. 

874
00:57:17,400 --> 00:57:21,720
Like something can also be like 
they will also learn to 

875
00:57:21,720 --> 00:57:24,080
appreciate because we were 
casuals at some point right when

876
00:57:24,080 --> 00:57:25,280
we were starting to watch 
cricket. 

877
00:57:25,600 --> 00:57:28,920
Yeah, so we start we we fell 
into love with this ball. 

878
00:57:29,360 --> 00:57:32,120
And I believe the casual fan 
today can also fall into love. 

879
00:57:32,560 --> 00:57:37,160
They just cannot be fed a bar of
toddler own after every meal 

880
00:57:40,480 --> 00:57:44,280
there is like then you Start 
Stop appreciating sweets only 

881
00:57:44,720 --> 00:57:48,680
because now you've been numbed 
to the idea of sweetness because

882
00:57:48,680 --> 00:57:50,760
you've just had a problem after 
every year. 

883
00:57:51,200 --> 00:57:54,400
So I'll be we can pay if you 
somebody gets you an apple pie, 

884
00:57:55,240 --> 00:57:58,760
even if the apple buys from 
fucking big chill and Khan 

885
00:57:58,760 --> 00:58:01,040
market, you are not going to 
enjoy it because you're like, 

886
00:58:01,560 --> 00:58:05,720
this is not that fun. 
So I do think it's I don't think

887
00:58:05,720 --> 00:58:07,160
they're even targeting the 
casual fan. 

888
00:58:07,440 --> 00:58:11,480
I think they're they're just 
almost saying that this 

889
00:58:11,480 --> 00:58:15,840
tournament started with a miss 
hit six. 

890
00:58:16,160 --> 00:58:18,080
Yeah, it was ignited by that 
shot. 

891
00:58:18,480 --> 00:58:22,040
It will forever the next 
morning, afternoon, sorry game. 

892
00:58:22,560 --> 00:58:25,720
Saturday afternoon, the team 
batting first for 2:40. 

893
00:58:26,160 --> 00:58:29,160
This is the first two of the 
first 3 knocks ever in the IPL. 

894
00:58:29,640 --> 00:58:32,560
The team batting second on the 
second mornings for two, 207 

895
00:58:33,040 --> 00:58:34,800
yeah. 
So they are like this, yeah, 

896
00:58:34,800 --> 00:58:36,520
yeah. 
It has always been this. 

897
00:58:36,640 --> 00:58:40,080
And when we are playing on in 
India, on the true pitches of 

898
00:58:40,080 --> 00:58:42,960
India, these are the sports 
that's going to be there and 

899
00:58:42,960 --> 00:58:47,640
deal with it, which which makes 
it a very inferior product. 

900
00:58:47,640 --> 00:58:49,080
It's weak cricket. 
It's. 

901
00:58:49,360 --> 00:58:50,480
Very weak. 
It's very weak. 

902
00:58:50,480 --> 00:58:54,040
It's like, yeah, as you said, 
it's just dopamine hit after 

903
00:58:54,040 --> 00:58:57,080
dopamine hit. 
And yeah, it's nothing. 

904
00:58:57,080 --> 00:59:02,120
Not you need, you need the you 
need the normal to elevate the 

905
00:59:02,160 --> 00:59:04,160
spectacular VCD. 
So that's that's. 

906
00:59:04,160 --> 00:59:06,680
Yeah, it has the 6th and a 
wicket is an event. 

907
00:59:07,120 --> 00:59:11,080
And by the way, it's not that 
just we're trashing batters. 

908
00:59:11,440 --> 00:59:15,920
So that Ahmedabad pinball test 
of 2021, it was hilarious 

909
00:59:15,920 --> 00:59:17,440
because those tests don't 
happen. 

910
00:59:17,920 --> 00:59:21,880
If you make them happen every 
week, that is also a problem. 

911
00:59:22,880 --> 00:59:25,280
No one can bat, only it's a 
bowlers word. 

912
00:59:25,640 --> 00:59:29,120
So the whole point is a bat is a
conversation between a batter 

913
00:59:29,120 --> 00:59:32,960
and a bowler. 
An argument A4 is a definitive 

914
00:59:32,960 --> 00:59:35,400
statement in that argument, a 
wicket is a definite statement 

915
00:59:35,400 --> 00:59:38,040
from the other end. 
But either to everything is 

916
00:59:38,040 --> 00:59:42,280
happening in high pitch. 
And so in the DC versus PDKS 

917
00:59:42,280 --> 00:59:46,400
method court law, they face 234 
deliveries combined, right? 

918
00:59:47,000 --> 00:59:50,480
Both teams together, 82 
boundaries combined. 

919
00:59:50,480 --> 00:59:54,680
That's you're talking one every 
4 balls, you're getting a 

920
00:59:54,680 --> 00:59:58,760
boundary that is mental and that
should not happen. 

921
00:59:58,920 --> 01:00:02,040
It is not good. 
Just like a one every 4 balls 

922
01:00:02,040 --> 01:00:06,120
wicket is also not good one 
every like the the four has to 

923
01:00:06,120 --> 01:00:10,080
be on the fix has to be on here.
The boundaries are short. 

924
01:00:10,080 --> 01:00:14,880
They are way they're using logs 
full tree trunks as a bat ball 

925
01:00:14,880 --> 01:00:19,040
Kasim has been flattened ball 
ache ache over swing cutter 

926
01:00:19,040 --> 01:00:22,000
swing bundle. 
Just hit in the light through 

927
01:00:22,000 --> 01:00:23,520
the line buddy. 
Just bounce. 

928
01:00:23,520 --> 01:00:29,440
Bin is a pillow. 
That's why I enjoyed the games 

929
01:00:29,440 --> 01:00:31,360
in Raipur a lot more. 
You know, the boundaries were 

930
01:00:31,360 --> 01:00:33,440
bigger. 
KKR played there, MI played 

931
01:00:33,440 --> 01:00:38,240
there, RCB, Virat Kohli really 
enjoyed it, like the match that 

932
01:00:38,240 --> 01:00:40,280
I watched. 
Yeah, exactly. 

933
01:00:40,560 --> 01:00:43,680
The the larger boundaries, you 
know, you can find gaps, you 

934
01:00:43,680 --> 01:00:46,000
can, you can the running between
the wickets. 

935
01:00:46,040 --> 01:00:48,960
I mean, maybe we have maybe our 
generation has kind of been 

936
01:00:48,960 --> 01:00:51,320
brought up on that kind of 
cricket that maybe that's why we

937
01:00:51,320 --> 01:00:54,400
appreciate it more. 
But generally it was a breath of

938
01:00:54,400 --> 01:00:57,520
fresh air, like watching 
watching people manipulate the 

939
01:00:57,520 --> 01:01:02,080
ball into gaps and just, you 
know, just trying to trying to 

940
01:01:02,080 --> 01:01:05,000
play normal cricket now, not 
just the stick cricket version 

941
01:01:05,000 --> 01:01:09,520
that is just been going 
throughout the the idea of this 

942
01:01:09,520 --> 01:01:12,080
season. 
It's just been count constant. 

943
01:01:12,080 --> 01:01:16,120
And honestly it's just made me 
lose interest personally, Like I

944
01:01:16,720 --> 01:01:18,960
can't keep. 
Like this is the this is amaze. 

945
01:01:18,960 --> 01:01:22,000
This is great. 
Stop what you're doing and watch

946
01:01:22,000 --> 01:01:24,920
the ball. 
So like how long do you want me 

947
01:01:24,920 --> 01:01:26,480
to stop man? 
I will stop what I was doing 

948
01:01:26,480 --> 01:01:28,920
yesterday also. 
I am stopping today or tomorrow 

949
01:01:28,920 --> 01:01:29,960
also. 
You'll say the same thing 

950
01:01:29,960 --> 01:01:31,080
because the same thing is 
happening. 

951
01:01:31,320 --> 01:01:34,280
It's an infinite loop of the 
same melody. 

952
01:01:34,680 --> 01:01:37,360
You're just passing it from 
brass to woodwinds to strings. 

953
01:01:37,680 --> 01:01:40,360
You the melody isn't changing, 
the rhythm isn't changing, the 

954
01:01:40,360 --> 01:01:43,120
tempos isn't changing, and 
everything is in the highest 

955
01:01:43,120 --> 01:01:44,840
register. 
So what am I interested? 

956
01:01:44,840 --> 01:01:50,520
For here nothing. 
It is, it's just numb. 

957
01:01:50,720 --> 01:01:55,120
Like do you remember any shot? 
I watched the India England semi

958
01:01:55,120 --> 01:01:58,720
final in Wankede Yeah, for the 
T20 World Cup. 

959
01:01:59,120 --> 01:02:02,920
Spectacular game to watch right?
And it was my first time to at 

960
01:02:02,920 --> 01:02:06,600
Wankede core memory. 
But it was it will be a cold 

961
01:02:06,600 --> 01:02:09,560
memory because of the crowd and 
the atmosphere. 

962
01:02:10,000 --> 01:02:14,840
I don't remember anything of the
cricket or much of the cricket 

963
01:02:14,840 --> 01:02:16,920
apart from those catches by 
Upsurf. 

964
01:02:17,400 --> 01:02:20,680
Yeah, and I may have faint 
memories of Sanju pulling and 

965
01:02:20,680 --> 01:02:22,760
hooking Jofra Archer, but that's
it. 

966
01:02:22,800 --> 01:02:26,000
I have like this is also 
slightly blurred because it is 

967
01:02:26,000 --> 01:02:30,880
the same. 
Nothing about it was new versus 

968
01:02:31,560 --> 01:02:35,280
the games at the at the Modium 
this year. 

969
01:02:35,720 --> 01:02:38,080
They've been very good because 
the pitch has been spicy. 

970
01:02:38,160 --> 01:02:40,080
Rabada and Sriraj have found a 
lot of help. 

971
01:02:41,320 --> 01:02:44,480
Like you said, Raipur pitches 
have been good and that just 

972
01:02:44,480 --> 01:02:48,160
makes any sport fun. 
You don't want you don't want 

973
01:02:48,160 --> 01:02:50,480
the contest of who is the one 
who can hit the longest. 

974
01:02:50,480 --> 01:02:54,080
That's that's whatever it is, 
it's not cricket. 

975
01:02:54,440 --> 01:02:55,840
It's just become a video game 
for. 

976
01:02:56,280 --> 01:02:57,360
Me it is. 
It is completely. 

977
01:02:57,960 --> 01:03:00,440
And the batters are the worst 
off because they're super 

978
01:03:00,440 --> 01:03:03,800
talented batters. 
They're very, very, very good. 

979
01:03:04,240 --> 01:03:07,440
And they would also shine if you
make the conditions tougher, 

980
01:03:07,440 --> 01:03:10,720
they'll actually shine more. 
They will play better innings, 

981
01:03:10,720 --> 01:03:13,560
They'll find a lot more 
gratification playing those 

982
01:03:13,560 --> 01:03:17,040
innings. 
And you, we will notice the 

983
01:03:17,040 --> 01:03:21,160
range of their talent. 
Now, if every ball is going for 

984
01:03:21,160 --> 01:03:25,000
A6, how am I supposed to see a 
range of what a Priyank Sharya 

985
01:03:25,000 --> 01:03:26,960
can do? 
Everything tells me he's a 

986
01:03:26,960 --> 01:03:29,240
phenomenal batter, everything 
about him. 

987
01:03:29,640 --> 01:03:34,320
But he's no one's asking him to 
play off truly phenomenal 

988
01:03:34,320 --> 01:03:36,920
innings. 
That is saying stand, hold, your

989
01:03:36,920 --> 01:03:40,240
shape doesn't matter where the 
ball comes, just run your hands 

990
01:03:40,240 --> 01:03:42,120
through it. 
And he's because he knows that. 

991
01:03:43,320 --> 01:03:46,680
Even if it hits, even if he 
connects like 20% of it, it will

992
01:03:46,760 --> 01:03:48,480
still go out of the bus, right? 
So. 

993
01:03:49,160 --> 01:03:52,760
And with the range hitting that 
it, it'll go for a six. 

994
01:03:52,960 --> 01:03:57,280
He's got a he's got the timing. 
He's got a special kind of 

995
01:03:57,280 --> 01:03:58,680
timing. 
The ball pings off his back. 

996
01:03:59,160 --> 01:04:02,920
I want to see a long 
Priyansharan where he struggles 

997
01:04:03,320 --> 01:04:08,240
and I want him to earn a six. 
And that will be the true making

998
01:04:08,240 --> 01:04:10,200
of Arya. 
And I know he has it. 

999
01:04:10,200 --> 01:04:13,200
This is not a case of us 
doubting whether they have it. 

1000
01:04:13,200 --> 01:04:16,840
We are quite confident they do. 
And which is why it's it makes 

1001
01:04:16,840 --> 01:04:20,280
us angrier because you're 
selling the battles shot bowlers

1002
01:04:20,280 --> 01:04:24,680
for the second class. 
It is in Manila, you're selling 

1003
01:04:24,680 --> 01:04:27,720
the battles shot, all of whom 
are phenomenal battles. 

1004
01:04:28,040 --> 01:04:31,320
You think KL Rahul will remember
that 152 for too long? 

1005
01:04:31,680 --> 01:04:33,320
He'll remember it because he 
lost the game. 

1006
01:04:33,760 --> 01:04:35,440
He'll not remember too many 
shots of it. 

1007
01:04:35,440 --> 01:04:39,440
He'll cherish, you know, the, 
the century he scored in 

1008
01:04:39,440 --> 01:04:41,560
England, the T 20th century he 
scored in England. 

1009
01:04:41,960 --> 01:04:45,360
He'll cherish a couple of other 
innings that he may have played 

1010
01:04:45,360 --> 01:04:48,560
for India or you know, Punjab or
Delhi or whatever. 

1011
01:04:48,960 --> 01:04:51,120
This is just even they feel 
lumbar. 

1012
01:04:51,120 --> 01:04:57,720
I'm sure he because the players 
are going to get better. 

1013
01:04:58,120 --> 01:05:00,080
They are going to get tactically
smarter. 

1014
01:05:00,360 --> 01:05:02,120
They're going to get more 
powerful. 

1015
01:05:02,640 --> 01:05:07,080
Where does this end? 
And again, you know, the even 

1016
01:05:07,080 --> 01:05:10,520
the bowling like the bowlers, I 
mean, I have no blame on them. 

1017
01:05:10,600 --> 01:05:14,840
I really feel for them. 
But the lines that the 10, the 

1018
01:05:14,840 --> 01:05:18,520
10 ball overs, the 11 ball overs
that are happening on a regular 

1019
01:05:18,520 --> 01:05:22,600
basis, the one it's just it's 
just a grind. 

1020
01:05:22,840 --> 01:05:27,320
It's just AI am I feel for them.
I am, but I will say this, I am 

1021
01:05:27,320 --> 01:05:30,320
with bowlers, I am team bowlers 
all the time. 

1022
01:05:30,800 --> 01:05:34,080
But it's not no ball need also 
Itna. 

1023
01:05:34,080 --> 01:05:40,000
Why did not no ball AAP? 
I am not going to see someone 

1024
01:05:40,080 --> 01:05:42,800
dishing out ten runs and over 
and be like you are a Kara 

1025
01:05:42,800 --> 01:05:45,320
bowler and no, no, these are 
exceptional circumstances. 

1026
01:05:45,800 --> 01:05:48,480
AAP Kitna no baller. 
Why darling, it's the next. 

1027
01:05:48,480 --> 01:05:50,640
You actually bowled a 13 ball 
over that day. 

1028
01:05:51,160 --> 01:05:55,120
I think this is in mid-april. 
I think what 13 ball 14 ball 

1029
01:05:55,120 --> 01:05:58,440
over. 
He bowled that last over Boomer.

1030
01:05:58,440 --> 01:06:01,440
I think that they bowled couple 
of no balls and Sunny G in 

1031
01:06:01,440 --> 01:06:05,480
commentary lost it. 
And for once I heard Saniji. 

1032
01:06:05,480 --> 01:06:13,080
I was like, I hear you man. 
Because that is just Ek kitna ka

1033
01:06:13,080 --> 01:06:17,120
kya lines are and it's not a 
boom rapping. 

1034
01:06:17,120 --> 01:06:20,280
This is clearly something that's
happened to every bowler in the 

1035
01:06:20,320 --> 01:06:23,040
IPL and a lot of it has to do 
with they have no options. 

1036
01:06:23,040 --> 01:06:25,600
They've been neutered. 
The ball isn't friendlier to 

1037
01:06:25,600 --> 01:06:27,360
them, the pitch isn't friendly 
to them. 

1038
01:06:27,400 --> 01:06:30,600
The batters have assault weapons
in their hand. 

1039
01:06:30,600 --> 01:06:33,720
The boundaries are, you know, 10
meters away. 

1040
01:06:34,200 --> 01:06:37,560
So where do they go? 
So I get that and I'm and I'm 

1041
01:06:37,960 --> 01:06:44,720
fairly understanding of if they 
take longer but there discipline

1042
01:06:44,720 --> 01:06:48,760
and catching my God man, there 
is some work to be done there as

1043
01:06:48,760 --> 01:06:53,080
well. 
So basically every skill set has

1044
01:06:53,080 --> 01:06:54,920
deteriorated for me in the past 
two years. 

1045
01:06:54,920 --> 01:06:57,080
Look at the fielding. 
I mean the amount of drop 

1046
01:06:57,080 --> 01:07:00,960
catches, it's schoolboyish. 
The amount of the catches that 

1047
01:07:01,440 --> 01:07:03,880
the catches are that that have 
been put down these days it's 

1048
01:07:03,880 --> 01:07:05,600
like. 
Sorry, sorry, sorry to interrupt

1049
01:07:05,600 --> 01:07:08,680
man What's up? 
I just one start 58th match May 

1050
01:07:09,040 --> 01:07:12,880
there were 178 drops. 
That's three drops every game. 

1051
01:07:13,400 --> 01:07:14,920
That's. 
Insane. 

1052
01:07:14,920 --> 01:07:18,280
I mean, how? 
Yeah, these things. 

1053
01:07:19,160 --> 01:07:31,680
WPL, do you want us to really 
start having that discussion? 

1054
01:07:32,000 --> 01:07:34,240
Because then it's 11:26 PM right
now. 

1055
01:07:34,600 --> 01:07:37,160
We'll be talking at least till 
2:26 AM. 

1056
01:07:37,560 --> 01:07:43,000
Yuki, WPL has the discourse 
against WPL has nothing to do 

1057
01:07:43,000 --> 01:07:46,320
with WPL. 
It has everything to do with me 

1058
01:07:46,320 --> 01:07:54,040
telling you very loud the point 
of the disposal. 

1059
01:07:54,040 --> 01:07:59,200
WPL is for me to tell you very 
loudly in your face. 

1060
01:07:59,440 --> 01:08:02,880
Tumare ghar PE Ake Yeah, I don't
care about WPL. 

1061
01:08:03,320 --> 01:08:06,240
And the moment you ask me if you
didn't care, why are you in my 

1062
01:08:06,240 --> 01:08:08,440
house, man? 
Why are you in my house at 10 AM

1063
01:08:09,000 --> 01:08:12,440
telling me you don't care? 
That's when I will tell you that

1064
01:08:12,440 --> 01:08:15,400
you should know that you are 
there only because of Jai Bhai 

1065
01:08:15,440 --> 01:08:20,520
and our charity Boom. 
Back to Yeah IPL. 

1066
01:08:22,279 --> 01:08:26,800
IPL may WPL kabat nicar. 
Baker they go. 

1067
01:08:26,800 --> 01:08:29,399
Tum logi start, they go. 
Please do not. 

1068
01:08:30,600 --> 01:08:33,680
It grades all of us and we can 
go on and on. 

1069
01:08:34,240 --> 01:08:38,479
Yeah, either catching has been. 
Poor, yeah, like it has really 

1070
01:08:38,479 --> 01:08:40,720
been that drops on catching. 
It's not just an IPL. 

1071
01:08:40,720 --> 01:08:43,040
Thing, it's not just an IPL 
thing, even in the World Cup, 

1072
01:08:43,040 --> 01:08:48,120
the catching was like up until 
the like towards the end, it 

1073
01:08:48,120 --> 01:08:51,960
really got fired. 
So it's, it's across the board. 

1074
01:08:52,160 --> 01:08:55,279
I, I don't want to mix up IPL in
World Cup, but like across the 

1075
01:08:55,279 --> 01:08:58,760
board in T20 cricket, I think 
the, the catching, the catching 

1076
01:08:58,760 --> 01:09:00,040
element has definitely gone 
down. 

1077
01:09:00,040 --> 01:09:03,200
It's not, it should be elevated,
but it's, it's some of it's gone

1078
01:09:03,200 --> 01:09:04,800
down there. 
Will be very interesting threat 

1079
01:09:04,800 --> 01:09:07,880
to ask a fielding coach if he 
can get hold. 

1080
01:09:08,240 --> 01:09:13,560
He why like all like psycho 
Babble aside, why is this 

1081
01:09:13,560 --> 01:09:15,880
happening? 
There has to be like some sort 

1082
01:09:15,880 --> 01:09:19,640
of a, you know, logical 
investigative answer key across 

1083
01:09:19,640 --> 01:09:23,279
the board. 
It's not that he can one player 

1084
01:09:23,279 --> 01:09:27,000
having a bad game, one player 
just out of confidence. 

1085
01:09:27,520 --> 01:09:30,880
Loose behavior, loose, sorry, 
you know, being very loose on 

1086
01:09:30,880 --> 01:09:35,279
the on the field. 
I don't mean loose behavior then

1087
01:09:35,319 --> 01:09:39,279
very too loose on the field, not
being switched on all that. 

1088
01:09:39,279 --> 01:09:43,160
I get that's fine. 
But across the board I got then 

1089
01:09:43,160 --> 01:09:48,160
there is a disease and it'll be 
cool to find out what disease is

1090
01:09:48,160 --> 01:09:50,960
this? 
How has it crept up? 

1091
01:09:50,960 --> 01:09:53,800
Because these are all 
exceptional athletes. 

1092
01:09:54,240 --> 01:09:56,160
Yeah. 
All of them there are very few 

1093
01:09:56,160 --> 01:10:00,400
non good athletes who play all 
the time who stay on the field 

1094
01:10:00,400 --> 01:10:03,120
all the time. 
Most of them are like top tier 

1095
01:10:03,120 --> 01:10:04,960
athletes. 
So it's not their athletic 

1096
01:10:04,960 --> 01:10:09,040
ability that they're not able to
reach a catch or you know, the 

1097
01:10:09,040 --> 01:10:13,800
catch is Shashank drop and he 
even if he ever listens to this,

1098
01:10:13,800 --> 01:10:15,240
I don't think he'll mind us 
saying it. 

1099
01:10:15,240 --> 01:10:18,880
They were inexcusable. 
You cannot drop that catch and 

1100
01:10:19,360 --> 01:10:24,120
if he if pointing out shares 
axed him for dropping four of 

1101
01:10:24,120 --> 01:10:27,080
those catches five of those 
catches it wouldn't have been 

1102
01:10:27,080 --> 01:10:28,680
around. 
He knows this. 

1103
01:10:28,960 --> 01:10:33,840
His face said it that he knows 
it that a Kota tough catch drop.

1104
01:10:33,840 --> 01:10:37,720
Yeah yeah, hard catch drop yeah 
ball pace only cynical. 

1105
01:10:37,720 --> 01:10:42,120
Yeah, just slip me drop coffee, 
but or a Kota Josh Namandi Ros 

1106
01:10:42,120 --> 01:10:46,920
didn't drop ball play. 
The cat is Shashank has dropped.

1107
01:10:46,920 --> 01:10:49,960
Some others have dropped. 
You cannot drop those one 

1108
01:10:50,440 --> 01:10:55,400
because ball papers are you have
the time to settle down under 

1109
01:10:55,400 --> 01:10:57,280
it. 
It's literally about just being 

1110
01:10:57,440 --> 01:11:01,200
focused and taking the board and
you're constantly dropping gaps.

1111
01:11:01,200 --> 01:11:06,000
There's something very wrong. 
I think before we move to final 

1112
01:11:06,000 --> 01:11:10,200
predictions, which seemed like a
very difficult thing to do 

1113
01:11:10,680 --> 01:11:17,720
considering KKRL one again and 
GTA Lost is to talk about 

1114
01:11:18,560 --> 01:11:21,920
Vaibhav, Suri Vanshi. 
I am amazed. 

1115
01:11:22,400 --> 01:11:29,280
I am like, yeah, especially 
because I mean, we've all been 

1116
01:11:29,280 --> 01:11:34,400
15. 
We've all, I know, I know 

1117
01:11:34,400 --> 01:11:39,480
Tendulkar at 16, but like none 
of us watched Tendulkar at 16. 

1118
01:11:40,800 --> 01:11:44,960
Videos on YouTube don't do 
justice to Tendulkar at 16 

1119
01:11:44,960 --> 01:11:50,160
because I mean, YouTube 
generally doesn't do justice in 

1120
01:11:50,160 --> 01:11:56,040
cricket, but whatever this guy 
is doing is just at some other 

1121
01:11:56,040 --> 01:11:58,840
level. 
And, and I, and I know him Anish

1122
01:11:58,840 --> 01:12:03,520
wrote a piece as well, but that 
goes into data and everything 

1123
01:12:03,600 --> 01:12:06,760
and, and, and we'll discuss that
and, and hopefully with him, 

1124
01:12:06,760 --> 01:12:10,280
Anish. 
But I, I generally tell people 

1125
01:12:10,280 --> 01:12:13,760
it's not about the numbers, it's
about how they made you feel. 

1126
01:12:14,200 --> 01:12:19,520
And this is at many levels, you 
know, it's like that. 

1127
01:12:21,200 --> 01:12:25,720
It's probably how and and 
probably at at much more 

1128
01:12:25,720 --> 01:12:31,320
elevated levels at how a Sri 
Lankan kid would have felt when 

1129
01:12:31,320 --> 01:12:36,600
Jay Surya was murdering Manoj 
Prabhakar in that 1996 World 

1130
01:12:36,600 --> 01:12:42,040
Cup. 
But over and over again, High 

1131
01:12:42,040 --> 01:12:47,680
school by Matlab, Matlab Matlab 
like the number of people I 

1132
01:12:47,680 --> 01:12:50,280
mean, it's it's natural that 
we're all cricket nuts. 

1133
01:12:50,280 --> 01:12:54,600
So so so over a period of my 
lifetime, the number of people 

1134
01:12:54,600 --> 01:13:02,520
I've told Pivo opening swing 
bowler go off spinner mid game 

1135
01:13:02,520 --> 01:13:06,040
Banaya people don't believe it. 
People like, what are you 

1136
01:13:06,040 --> 01:13:09,200
saying? 
It's not possible like, yeah, 

1137
01:13:09,200 --> 01:13:11,480
that that's exactly what was 
done. 

1138
01:13:11,840 --> 01:13:15,440
But enough about Jay Surya. 
I mean, I'll I'll see the floor 

1139
01:13:15,440 --> 01:13:23,080
to you guys and please talk 
about what we are seeing of 15 

1140
01:13:23,080 --> 01:13:24,640
year old. 
I love Suryavanchi. 

1141
01:13:25,040 --> 01:13:26,960
What is better than we think we 
use? 

1142
01:13:27,680 --> 01:13:30,120
Yeah, I mean. 
That. 

1143
01:13:30,360 --> 01:13:32,960
Is just he is he is something 
else. 

1144
01:13:33,320 --> 01:13:36,400
I can't, I can't put into words 
the like. 

1145
01:13:36,400 --> 01:13:38,920
The only thing that I look 
forward to is another game. 

1146
01:13:38,920 --> 01:13:43,480
And it's been he's he's actually
become like Sachin in the 90s. 

1147
01:13:43,480 --> 01:13:47,880
Like how like how I used, like 
how we used, I used to hear 

1148
01:13:47,880 --> 01:13:51,040
stories that I was too young, 
but I used to hear stories that 

1149
01:13:51,240 --> 01:13:54,880
as soon as Sachin got out, the 
TV was, the TV was turned off 

1150
01:13:54,880 --> 01:13:57,960
and like people stopped work. 
That's that's how it's gotten 

1151
01:13:57,960 --> 01:14:01,560
with me with the web. 
Like you just know that. 

1152
01:14:01,640 --> 01:14:05,200
You just know that the 
fearlessness that he has, he's 

1153
01:14:05,200 --> 01:14:07,760
just going to go after every 
ball and he's just going to 

1154
01:14:07,760 --> 01:14:11,320
treat every bowler and on the 
same wavelength, no matter what 

1155
01:14:11,520 --> 01:14:15,600
kind of bowling he's facing. 
And to do it at this is age is 

1156
01:14:15,600 --> 01:14:18,640
just, I mean, that there are no 
words and that you cannot, you 

1157
01:14:18,640 --> 01:14:24,200
cannot describe it like in words
that whatever, what, what an 

1158
01:14:24,200 --> 01:14:28,400
impact he's had and what what 
like I say he's doing all of 

1159
01:14:28,400 --> 01:14:34,200
this is just, I have no idea how
how this thing is like how how 

1160
01:14:34,200 --> 01:14:37,520
he's managing all this and how 
how he's doing all this is just 

1161
01:14:37,760 --> 01:14:41,080
insane. 
He's be it pace, be it spin, be 

1162
01:14:41,080 --> 01:14:43,600
it bounce, be it slower walls, 
whatever. 

1163
01:14:43,600 --> 01:14:45,240
He's just going after 
everything. 

1164
01:14:45,240 --> 01:14:48,840
And he's yeah, he's just, he's 
just bringing joy as and he said

1165
01:14:48,840 --> 01:14:52,400
he just makes you feel something
different, something that no 

1166
01:14:52,400 --> 01:14:55,080
other player in the IPL makes me
feel at least. 

1167
01:14:55,280 --> 01:14:57,640
Right. 
So yeah, I mean, and long may it

1168
01:14:57,640 --> 01:15:01,000
continue. 
And the best part about him is 

1169
01:15:01,000 --> 01:15:03,600
that he pisses Robin at the 
ball, which makes mad even. 

1170
01:15:05,560 --> 01:15:08,920
The single most important 
criteria for any emerging 

1171
01:15:08,920 --> 01:15:15,000
cricketer I I genuinely mean it 
when I say that he's he's better

1172
01:15:15,000 --> 01:15:19,320
than we even imagined he was. 
Because the significance of 

1173
01:15:19,720 --> 01:15:22,560
following up your first season, 
which is your breakout season 

1174
01:15:23,000 --> 01:15:25,920
with an even better season. 
It's hard enough. 

1175
01:15:26,400 --> 01:15:30,080
It's hard enough if you're 25. 
He turned 15 on the eve of this 

1176
01:15:30,080 --> 01:15:33,000
year's IPL. 
He's just become eligible to 

1177
01:15:33,000 --> 01:15:35,880
play for India to have a better 
season. 

1178
01:15:35,880 --> 01:15:39,560
When you know every team tracks 
every sinew of your muscle move,

1179
01:15:40,120 --> 01:15:42,320
they know every single thing 
about you. 

1180
01:15:42,480 --> 01:15:46,800
So for you to come out and do 
what you have done against 

1181
01:15:46,800 --> 01:15:52,240
bowlers of world class caliber, 
AP Kitna, Filter, Lagogeki, 

1182
01:15:52,240 --> 01:15:56,480
Bumrah injured Hazelwood are 
coming. 

1183
01:16:00,360 --> 01:16:05,520
And it's not the ball is just, 
you know, trickling over the 

1184
01:16:05,520 --> 01:16:07,720
boundary. 
It's going deep into the stands.

1185
01:16:08,040 --> 01:16:11,920
You can talk about boundary 
ropes for some sixes and you 

1186
01:16:11,920 --> 01:16:13,320
know, too many sixes being 
there. 

1187
01:16:13,320 --> 01:16:16,600
These guys hitting into the 
stands like what boundary ropes 

1188
01:16:16,600 --> 01:16:20,560
are you going to go there? 
So no, I think I hope he 

1189
01:16:20,560 --> 01:16:25,040
surrounds himself with good 
people, with people who impress 

1190
01:16:25,040 --> 01:16:29,680
on him, that it will take very 
little for him to derail and 

1191
01:16:29,960 --> 01:16:34,800
even like all he needs is he can
keep his love for the game and 

1192
01:16:34,800 --> 01:16:37,000
just good coaching however he 
chooses. 

1193
01:16:37,000 --> 01:16:39,640
Too bad. 
And what ends up of his career 

1194
01:16:40,040 --> 01:16:43,080
it it won't define him as 
success or failure. 

1195
01:16:43,080 --> 01:16:44,240
That's not where I'm going with 
this. 

1196
01:16:44,640 --> 01:16:48,720
But I hope he retains the love 
for the sport enough to keep 

1197
01:16:49,280 --> 01:16:53,440
being Vaibhav Suryavanshi 
because that will mean for us 

1198
01:16:53,640 --> 01:16:57,840
viewers we get to watch a rare, 
like a comet of the talent. 

1199
01:16:58,280 --> 01:17:00,360
He's that rare. 
You like this shit doesn't 

1200
01:17:00,360 --> 01:17:02,160
happen, then 15 year olds don't 
do this. 

1201
01:17:02,840 --> 01:17:05,640
They don't do this to 
international class bowlers. 

1202
01:17:05,640 --> 01:17:09,080
Ticket Domestic cricket May 
Hassan, Razani, Kuch Karbeya you

1203
01:17:09,080 --> 01:17:14,440
hear this, You hear that, but 
you don't hear 15 year olds do 

1204
01:17:14,440 --> 01:17:18,720
this. 
To casually, casually big 2026 

1205
01:17:18,720 --> 01:17:30,760
man Hassan Raza, drop Kardo. 
Like, I don't think I think I'm 

1206
01:17:30,760 --> 01:17:37,960
about casually like Hassan Raza 
was like the number one question

1207
01:17:37,960 --> 01:17:43,360
for at least a decade. 
So no I I genuinely do believe 

1208
01:17:43,360 --> 01:17:46,480
because we didn't see the CL 
core Test match in 89 and the 

1209
01:17:46,480 --> 01:17:51,120
footage doesn't do it justice. 
And for then those who haven't, 

1210
01:17:51,480 --> 01:17:55,240
who don't have context about 
this, it's the 4th or the 5th 

1211
01:17:55,280 --> 01:17:57,320
test of the 89 series in 
Pakistan. 

1212
01:17:57,320 --> 01:18:02,480
Tendulkar's debut series is 1616
in the house and early and India

1213
01:18:02,480 --> 01:18:03,560
batting. 
See Alco. 

1214
01:18:03,560 --> 01:18:06,360
That time used to be a green 
top, not just little bit of 

1215
01:18:06,360 --> 01:18:09,440
grass, full green. 
And in the Pakistani bowling 

1216
01:18:09,440 --> 01:18:13,120
attack there was Wasim Bakar, 
Imran Khan, Muzad Nazar, Abdul 

1217
01:18:13,160 --> 01:18:16,240
Kadir and India have to bat 
almost the full day to save the 

1218
01:18:16,240 --> 01:18:19,080
test. 
Sachin gets hit in the nose and 

1219
01:18:19,080 --> 01:18:20,680
he didn't have a grill on his 
helmet then. 

1220
01:18:20,680 --> 01:18:23,880
It was just a skull protected 
heads helmet protector but no 

1221
01:18:23,880 --> 01:18:26,480
grill in front of the face so it
hits on his nose flush. 

1222
01:18:27,000 --> 01:18:29,800
The physio comes out, he's 
bleeding and he refuses to leave

1223
01:18:29,800 --> 01:18:32,560
the ground. 
This is Walker's ball so it's 

1224
01:18:32,560 --> 01:18:35,920
come at a pace. 
The physio stuff spotted into 

1225
01:18:35,920 --> 01:18:39,480
his nose leaves and Sachin hits 
the next ball for a four. 

1226
01:18:39,960 --> 01:18:42,680
He's 1st 44 and he saves the 
Test match for India 

1227
01:18:42,960 --> 01:18:46,120
effectively. 
And he did that against a scary 

1228
01:18:46,120 --> 01:18:50,680
bowling attack at the age of 16 
on his first ever Test series. 

1229
01:18:50,680 --> 01:18:54,280
In his next Test series, he went
to England, where he scored a 

1230
01:18:54,280 --> 01:18:57,400
century at. 
Then he went to Australia, where

1231
01:18:57,400 --> 01:19:00,400
he scored two centuries at two 
of the toughest pitches there, 

1232
01:19:00,640 --> 01:19:03,640
or maybe one of the toughest. 
And then Sydney, which was maybe

1233
01:19:04,640 --> 01:19:06,720
friendlier but no less 
impressive obviously. 

1234
01:19:07,200 --> 01:19:11,880
And the reason for saying all 
this is our reference to a young

1235
01:19:11,880 --> 01:19:16,440
kid, He absolutely killing it at
the highest level. 

1236
01:19:16,440 --> 01:19:20,280
Is this in Indian cricket? 
It was this because all the 

1237
01:19:20,280 --> 01:19:25,200
greats that we've had since have
not come at 151617 types. 

1238
01:19:25,200 --> 01:19:32,320
They've been 18/19/20 types. 
If you So for him to do this, to

1239
01:19:32,320 --> 01:19:36,680
repeatedly do this, to do this 
as he's getting analysed and 

1240
01:19:36,680 --> 01:19:41,320
studied and still not lose 
performance speaks great things 

1241
01:19:41,320 --> 01:19:44,800
about him. 
Shashank Kishore's essay on him 

1242
01:19:44,800 --> 01:19:47,400
for picking for monthly is 
something we've based in the 

1243
01:19:47,560 --> 01:19:49,520
show notes. 
You must check it out. 

1244
01:19:49,920 --> 01:19:53,520
Wonderful essay and it the his 
coaches tell a thing or two 

1245
01:19:53,520 --> 01:19:58,000
about him. 
He why they treat him as special

1246
01:19:58,000 --> 01:20:00,880
RR. 
So I think it was Ruben Bharucha

1247
01:20:00,880 --> 01:20:05,200
who had told RR that set aside 
10 cross were and RR is like, 

1248
01:20:05,200 --> 01:20:07,640
are you mad? 
He's at that time he was 13. 

1249
01:20:07,920 --> 01:20:11,480
He's a 13 year old what 10 pros?
He's like no, just trust me on 

1250
01:20:11,480 --> 01:20:13,840
this. 
Just set aside 10 pros is that 

1251
01:20:13,840 --> 01:20:17,400
good? 
And he came for the trials to 

1252
01:20:17,400 --> 01:20:20,280
RR. 
He faced first some bowling 

1253
01:20:20,280 --> 01:20:22,360
machine and he handled them like
a champ. 

1254
01:20:22,960 --> 01:20:25,760
Then they sent Jofra or Jofra be
some earlier. 

1255
01:20:26,240 --> 01:20:29,440
So who's the passer by? 
Abhi Ghazi. 

1256
01:20:30,280 --> 01:20:35,400
But become friends with one man 
from Bangalore, Joabi Europe 

1257
01:20:35,400 --> 01:20:38,000
yoga by the way for a bit of his
career now. 

1258
01:20:38,360 --> 01:20:43,920
But be friends with him, keep 
talking to him and just be 

1259
01:20:43,920 --> 01:20:46,800
yourself, have the love for the 
sport and there is really 

1260
01:20:46,800 --> 01:20:49,520
nothing else to say, no words 
that can justify what we are 

1261
01:20:49,520 --> 01:20:51,560
saying. 
And I just hope we keep watching

1262
01:20:51,560 --> 01:20:54,240
this shit and we don't lose him 
to anything. 

1263
01:20:54,720 --> 01:20:58,040
Not fame, not injury, nothing. 
We just keep getting more of 

1264
01:20:58,040 --> 01:21:00,160
this. 
But I fear that's exactly what's

1265
01:21:00,160 --> 01:21:04,600
going to happen eventually. 
Like that's he will get like I'm

1266
01:21:04,600 --> 01:21:07,280
not saying that he will change 
essentially, I hope he doesn't, 

1267
01:21:07,280 --> 01:21:11,840
but like the India set up and 
everything will definitely have 

1268
01:21:11,840 --> 01:21:15,680
a role and have an impact on. 
I have a very dear theory on 

1269
01:21:15,680 --> 01:21:17,280
this. 
Exactly the point you made man. 

1270
01:21:18,040 --> 01:21:23,240
My one worry not with Weber but 
around Weber is that he's the 

1271
01:21:23,240 --> 01:21:25,720
first. 
The Indian cricket has never 

1272
01:21:25,720 --> 01:21:29,680
known a 15 year old like this. 
And when they last saw a 16 year

1273
01:21:29,680 --> 01:21:33,000
old prodigy two things happened.
They in cricket wasn't as 

1274
01:21:33,000 --> 01:21:36,480
professional as mechanically 
good and managed. 

1275
01:21:36,960 --> 01:21:39,920
And there was so many seniors in
that team that they found a 

1276
01:21:39,920 --> 01:21:43,240
protective cocoon around him. 
That team was packed with 

1277
01:21:43,720 --> 01:21:46,320
seniors, right? 
And the team Tendulkar joined. 

1278
01:21:46,800 --> 01:21:51,360
My worry with how Indian cricket
handles Webber is right from his

1279
01:21:51,360 --> 01:21:56,680
training to his nutrition to how
they how they almost mold him 

1280
01:21:56,680 --> 01:21:58,760
and nurture him to become an 
Indian cricketer. 

1281
01:21:59,200 --> 01:22:02,120
When they blood him in, when 
they, you know, tell him that 

1282
01:22:02,280 --> 01:22:05,440
now is not the time, they don't 
have precedent for this. 

1283
01:22:05,600 --> 01:22:08,920
So everything will be kind of 
them also trying, you know, 

1284
01:22:09,040 --> 01:22:11,080
little shooting in the dark type
scenes happening. 

1285
01:22:11,520 --> 01:22:13,440
I hope they don't get it 
terribly wrong. 

1286
01:22:13,840 --> 01:22:16,480
And especially I mean with the 
training and everything else. 

1287
01:22:16,800 --> 01:22:19,240
I know sports scientists are 
there and they're professionals.

1288
01:22:19,240 --> 01:22:23,920
I get that, all of that. 
But I just hope this this 

1289
01:22:23,920 --> 01:22:29,680
combination of age on your side 
and this insane talent is is too

1290
01:22:29,680 --> 01:22:31,600
rare. 
And I just hope they handle him 

1291
01:22:31,600 --> 01:22:34,280
properly. 
OK, Now is not the time to play 

1292
01:22:34,280 --> 01:22:36,520
a test. 
Take your time, bide your time. 

1293
01:22:37,080 --> 01:22:39,160
Take two years, three years. 
Play a lot of first class 

1294
01:22:39,160 --> 01:22:42,400
cricket then go and not to grind
them out in first class cricket.

1295
01:22:42,400 --> 01:22:46,320
SA key do do play. 
It doesn't matter if you fall 

1296
01:22:46,320 --> 01:22:48,400
sick, fucking keep playing. 
Don't do all that also. 

1297
01:22:48,800 --> 01:22:52,800
So yeah, it'll be very 
interesting to see how Indian 

1298
01:22:52,800 --> 01:22:54,760
cricket handles. 
And he's made the India squad. 

1299
01:22:55,160 --> 01:23:02,800
So it's very clear the selectors
have have not resisted or just 

1300
01:23:02,800 --> 01:23:05,480
under 19 World Cup final May 8. 
So pitch up there on that. 

1301
01:23:05,480 --> 01:23:08,520
So I put kind of Lena, but 
that's for the sport. 

1302
01:23:10,320 --> 01:23:12,600
So I am I am very happy to see 
him in India. 

1303
01:23:12,960 --> 01:23:15,280
I don't know if he'll get as 
much game time because a lot of 

1304
01:23:15,360 --> 01:23:17,400
much more senior players are 
travelling in that spot. 

1305
01:23:18,920 --> 01:23:22,640
But yeah, he'll he'll play for 
India soon. 

1306
01:23:24,000 --> 01:23:29,720
Any thoughts on Punjab Kings 
winning five in a row and then 

1307
01:23:30,280 --> 01:23:33,560
six in a row? 
I think 05:00 and 1:00 no result

1308
01:23:34,160 --> 01:23:38,960
and then losing 5, much to the 
delight of Nishant. 

1309
01:23:39,600 --> 01:23:44,440
I mean, even in those games, 
like the games that they lost, 

1310
01:23:44,480 --> 01:23:47,880
they played well in a few games.
It's just that again, they're 

1311
01:23:47,880 --> 01:23:49,920
catching them. 
The fielding has really let them

1312
01:23:49,920 --> 01:23:54,040
down very, very badly. 
And I I still think they're a 

1313
01:23:54,040 --> 01:23:56,120
good side. 
I still think they do most 

1314
01:23:56,320 --> 01:24:00,440
things right. 
It's, it's just, it's just once 

1315
01:24:00,440 --> 01:24:04,160
you start getting into a rat, 
it, it is very difficult to get 

1316
01:24:04,200 --> 01:24:06,080
out of. 
I still, I still think they'll 

1317
01:24:06,080 --> 01:24:10,600
make the playoffs and I still 
think that they will, they'll go

1318
01:24:10,600 --> 01:24:13,360
deep in the tournament. 
I, I still think they, they're 

1319
01:24:13,360 --> 01:24:17,520
doing most things right and 
maybe a bit of concern might be 

1320
01:24:17,520 --> 01:24:20,520
there with shares. 
I think his, his form is kind of

1321
01:24:20,880 --> 01:24:24,040
tailed off a bit. 
He was really looking like you 

1322
01:24:24,040 --> 01:24:26,320
conquered the world like at the 
start of the tournament. 

1323
01:24:26,320 --> 01:24:30,960
Now it's just now it is it's 
gone back to the old stress that

1324
01:24:30,960 --> 01:24:36,560
he was like 3-4 years back, low 
strike rate and yeah, not adding

1325
01:24:36,560 --> 01:24:40,480
much value to the team. 
So hopefully, hopefully gets out

1326
01:24:40,480 --> 01:24:43,680
of it and he towards the end, 
maybe they peak at the right 

1327
01:24:43,680 --> 01:24:47,240
time and they get over the line 
this time because I genuinely 

1328
01:24:47,240 --> 01:24:51,720
think that they're a good side. 
But it's always nice when always

1329
01:24:51,720 --> 01:24:55,600
nice when Ponting is like kind 
of taken down a couple of 

1330
01:24:55,600 --> 01:25:00,240
notches because of his overt 
faith in Australian players. 

1331
01:25:00,240 --> 01:25:03,080
So that's always nice to see. 
But apart from that, I think 

1332
01:25:03,080 --> 01:25:05,000
yeah, they do. 
They are a good side and 

1333
01:25:05,360 --> 01:25:07,440
eventually I think they will 
figure it out. 

1334
01:25:07,680 --> 01:25:10,800
That's but I mean, right now 
they've put themselves in a 

1335
01:25:10,800 --> 01:25:13,600
situation where top 2 is looking
a bit difficult. 

1336
01:25:14,080 --> 01:25:18,000
So they'll have to do it the 
harder way if they want to, 

1337
01:25:18,120 --> 01:25:20,840
like, win that. 
Win that top anything is looking

1338
01:25:20,840 --> 01:25:22,680
difficult, yeah. 
Now. 

1339
01:25:22,680 --> 01:25:27,000
Now it's but now like today KKR 
1, so maybe there is kind of a 

1340
01:25:27,000 --> 01:25:30,040
window that opens up slightly. 
Well, I think GT will finish 

1341
01:25:30,040 --> 01:25:32,600
talk too. 
They're they're doing well. 

1342
01:25:33,840 --> 01:25:35,960
They just, they just gone into 
such a rut. 

1343
01:25:37,160 --> 01:25:39,120
Punjab, their bowling was always
a problem. 

1344
01:25:39,320 --> 01:25:41,840
Even in the earlier games where 
they were chasing down like we 

1345
01:25:41,840 --> 01:25:45,760
spoke about the DC game so much,
they conceded 264. 

1346
01:25:46,160 --> 01:25:49,120
So that's kind of a very crucial
part of that game that they 

1347
01:25:49,120 --> 01:25:52,080
conceded those many they've 
considered a lot throughout. 

1348
01:25:52,440 --> 01:25:54,760
So the bowling is clearly not 
working. 

1349
01:25:55,320 --> 01:26:00,080
And this troika troika of Stein 
is Dworschius Bartlett. 

1350
01:26:00,520 --> 01:26:04,200
It hasn't returned as much as 
they would have liked gonna. 

1351
01:26:04,720 --> 01:26:07,920
So even Jansen has kind of not 
fired. 

1352
01:26:07,920 --> 01:26:11,840
No, he's there have been games 
when he's got pumped pretty bad.

1353
01:26:12,320 --> 01:26:14,640
I think the place a lot of too 
much faith in Jansen. 

1354
01:26:14,640 --> 01:26:19,680
Like they want him to be the 
number 7 and then be a 4 / 4 

1355
01:26:19,680 --> 01:26:21,720
over bowler. 
He's not a four over bowler 

1356
01:26:22,000 --> 01:26:25,040
consistent for over bowler 
purpose of Africa in D 20s. 

1357
01:26:25,440 --> 01:26:29,320
And even with the bat, I think 
he has a long way to go to be a 

1358
01:26:29,320 --> 01:26:32,400
number 7 in D 20s at least or in
any format, I would say. 

1359
01:26:32,760 --> 01:26:36,760
So I think they placed a lot of 
faith in him and they went in. 

1360
01:26:37,120 --> 01:26:40,320
They wanted him to be like the 
Russell figure, maybe not as 

1361
01:26:40,320 --> 01:26:45,680
good, but like some some version
of Russell that that Russell was

1362
01:26:45,720 --> 01:26:47,400
KKR. 
But of course he's not. 

1363
01:26:47,640 --> 01:26:50,240
He's not nowhere near those 
levels right now. 

1364
01:26:50,240 --> 01:26:55,040
So they really over, they went 
slightly too dependent. 

1365
01:26:55,040 --> 01:26:56,440
They went slightly too dependent
on it. 

1366
01:26:56,440 --> 01:27:01,640
So I feel, I feel that is kind 
of that is kind of like hurt 

1367
01:27:01,640 --> 01:27:04,960
them a little bit. 
And yeah, of course that they 

1368
01:27:04,960 --> 01:27:07,280
did go light on the bowling and 
it's starting to show. 

1369
01:27:07,280 --> 01:27:13,120
But I still think that 
eventually like and their home 

1370
01:27:13,120 --> 01:27:16,360
form, of course their home form 
is very, very has not been very,

1371
01:27:16,480 --> 01:27:18,480
very good. 
So that is also concerned. 

1372
01:27:18,480 --> 01:27:22,040
So maybe when they eliminated 
somewhere the playoffs from 

1373
01:27:22,040 --> 01:27:25,400
maybe that changes a bit and 
that helps them a bit. 

1374
01:27:25,640 --> 01:27:31,560
But yeah, overall I think they 
they they have done well and 

1375
01:27:32,080 --> 01:27:34,760
they will, they have put 
themselves in a hole, but I 

1376
01:27:34,760 --> 01:27:37,040
think they still have the 
players and they still have the 

1377
01:27:37,760 --> 01:27:40,160
the personnel to turn it around.
That's what I think. 

1378
01:27:40,560 --> 01:27:43,200
Let's see what happens. 
Players, yes, definitely. 

1379
01:27:43,200 --> 01:27:45,120
They've got enough match 
winners. 

1380
01:27:45,560 --> 01:27:51,440
I don't I, I don't see how even 
if they make it to the playoffs,

1381
01:27:51,840 --> 01:27:56,120
how they how they go past the 
bowling problem because it's not

1382
01:27:56,120 --> 01:27:57,760
for the lack of half decent 
bowlers. 

1383
01:27:57,760 --> 01:27:59,520
They've got an Ashley, they've 
got a Jansen. 

1384
01:27:59,520 --> 01:28:02,800
Jansen on any given day can 
certainly on a good pitch become

1385
01:28:02,800 --> 01:28:05,040
the Jansen South Africa Jansen 
that we know. 

1386
01:28:05,840 --> 01:28:08,960
Jahil has had a good season. 
Very insanely. 

1387
01:28:08,960 --> 01:28:12,600
They didn't bowl him full in the
last couple of matches and it's 

1388
01:28:12,800 --> 01:28:16,120
just very they they seem to be 
also going through that mental 

1389
01:28:16,120 --> 01:28:18,280
route of this confused 
decisions. 

1390
01:28:19,720 --> 01:28:22,040
I think they've given up on by 
Shack a bit too early. 

1391
01:28:22,520 --> 01:28:26,480
Yeah. 
So yeah, they're they're a good 

1392
01:28:26,480 --> 01:28:31,680
team and I don't think have as 
Priyansh has, has he had a good 

1393
01:28:31,680 --> 01:28:34,320
season? 
He's he's had a few matches 

1394
01:28:34,320 --> 01:28:37,800
where he looked 1,000,000 bucks.
I I don't know if he's had a 

1395
01:28:38,280 --> 01:28:42,600
season like last year. 
Shares obviously has dropped off

1396
01:28:42,600 --> 01:28:43,680
a little. 
It's not helped. 

1397
01:28:44,040 --> 01:28:47,600
Losing Josh Inglis has hurt them
tremendously in the top order. 

1398
01:28:48,040 --> 01:28:51,440
He was a big factor last year. 
So yeah, I mean, they could 

1399
01:28:51,440 --> 01:28:55,080
still obviously make the 
playoffs, but they'll have to 

1400
01:28:55,080 --> 01:28:57,400
fix the bowling. 
Otherwise, playoff debat. 

1401
01:28:57,400 --> 01:29:00,440
It's waiting to be another 
massive chase. 

1402
01:29:00,760 --> 01:29:03,880
And this iteration of Punjab, if
they don't win anything, I think

1403
01:29:03,880 --> 01:29:06,840
then they should. 
They should either be delegated 

1404
01:29:06,840 --> 01:29:10,560
or liquidated one of. 
The team, there are too many 

1405
01:29:10,560 --> 01:29:12,240
teams who will say then what 
about us? 

1406
01:29:13,080 --> 01:29:18,600
I mean this, I mean this 
iteration of Punjab, what what 

1407
01:29:18,600 --> 01:29:21,320
what's else talking about? 
I think there's a lot to think 

1408
01:29:21,320 --> 01:29:24,560
about pointing stint at DC as 
well, right? 

1409
01:29:24,560 --> 01:29:27,560
Like he made it to the finals 
there as well. 

1410
01:29:29,160 --> 01:29:33,240
Of course that didn't work out 
well because there was a all 

1411
01:29:33,240 --> 01:29:37,280
time great MI team at that point
in time. 

1412
01:29:38,000 --> 01:29:44,280
And then I mean, last year RCB 
beat Punjab and this year they 

1413
01:29:44,280 --> 01:29:46,080
were looking good. 
It's not that they weren't 

1414
01:29:46,080 --> 01:29:50,880
looking good, but it's it's I 
think the same thing that Jared 

1415
01:29:50,880 --> 01:29:55,520
keeps talking about. 
I mean, the fact that if a team 

1416
01:29:55,520 --> 01:29:59,160
doesn't win a title, are they 
really bad? 

1417
01:29:59,160 --> 01:30:07,040
And but they do go out of public
memory and, and I think voila, 

1418
01:30:07,720 --> 01:30:09,560
AD might have been taken down 
right? 

1419
01:30:09,560 --> 01:30:15,240
Like the 1996 Atlanta Olympics, 
you don't win silver, you lose 

1420
01:30:15,240 --> 01:30:17,560
gold. 
And that was taken down the Nike

1421
01:30:17,560 --> 01:30:21,840
ad, right? 
I I don't think that that genre 

1422
01:30:21,840 --> 01:30:24,280
was not. 
About No, it's not just about 

1423
01:30:24,280 --> 01:30:27,360
winning gold. 
Last year's Punjab team was very

1424
01:30:27,360 --> 01:30:31,840
memorable because they played so
well and I do think the Punjab 

1425
01:30:32,080 --> 01:30:36,240
fans, even though you know the 
most die hard, intense fans who 

1426
01:30:36,240 --> 01:30:39,160
want a title, have been waiting 
for one for so long, they'll 

1427
01:30:39,200 --> 01:30:43,200
remember the team very fondly. 
There is absolutely nothing to 

1428
01:30:43,200 --> 01:30:44,840
be ashamed of. 
Even in the final they gave 

1429
01:30:44,840 --> 01:30:46,160
their best, just didn't work 
out. 

1430
01:30:47,880 --> 01:30:51,280
So last year's team was 
phenomenal, consistently great. 

1431
01:30:51,720 --> 01:30:55,440
This year's team started like 
that, even better, and then has 

1432
01:30:55,440 --> 01:30:57,560
completely tailed off because 
they haven't fixed their 

1433
01:30:57,560 --> 01:30:59,080
building and the fielding has 
let them down. 

1434
01:30:59,520 --> 01:31:04,360
Tremendous result. 
Any predictions or should we 

1435
01:31:04,840 --> 01:31:11,680
move to what is now as the 
open-ended book format ending 

1436
01:31:13,360 --> 01:31:16,440
reader so we will allow the 
listener to decide? 

1437
01:31:20,040 --> 01:31:24,000
Prediction right now, if I have 
to make is the they're going to 

1438
01:31:24,080 --> 01:31:27,040
go back-to-back, yeah. 
Yeah. 

1439
01:31:27,040 --> 01:31:31,560
I think that's that's very, very
fair actually, considering how 

1440
01:31:31,560 --> 01:31:37,040
everybody else is going. 
And how balanced, grounded. 

1441
01:31:37,480 --> 01:31:41,080
It's a great T20 team and it 
will be great even if you kind 

1442
01:31:41,080 --> 01:31:43,760
of even if they make the 
playoffs and then lose, you 

1443
01:31:43,760 --> 01:31:45,680
know, the first man and then get
knocked out. 

1444
01:31:45,680 --> 01:31:49,360
It's a very well built T20 team.
Everything is covered. 

1445
01:31:49,760 --> 01:31:55,200
It's remarkable the the change 
that move about and and the rest

1446
01:31:55,200 --> 01:31:57,560
of the RCV. 
Management Andy Flower Freddy 

1447
01:31:57,560 --> 01:32:01,640
Build because somebody also made
the point of you are always 

1448
01:32:01,640 --> 01:32:03,200
pairing a tall guy with a short 
guy. 

1449
01:32:03,720 --> 01:32:05,240
So the bowlers length has to 
change. 

1450
01:32:05,680 --> 01:32:10,840
So it's Virat and it's it's 
Virat and salt salt. 

1451
01:32:11,200 --> 01:32:14,600
I don't know how tall Wethel is 
or if he's that much taller than

1452
01:32:14,600 --> 01:32:16,680
Virat, whatever. 
Then there is Dave that who's 

1453
01:32:16,680 --> 01:32:19,800
tall, particle who's short. 
Sorry, Dave, that who's tall and

1454
01:32:19,800 --> 01:32:22,880
particle, who's short, that's 
your top four. 

1455
01:32:22,880 --> 01:32:26,640
And then to Allah then is Roma 
reshefa Tim David fit to kiss a 

1456
01:32:26,640 --> 01:32:29,320
bacho with him Kahibi length, 
pidallo doesn't matter. 

1457
01:32:31,080 --> 01:32:34,400
I don't think Jitesh has had a 
has a tournament he's going to 

1458
01:32:34,440 --> 01:32:38,120
remember. 
But the rest of it is they have 

1459
01:32:38,120 --> 01:32:40,640
bowlers to hit the deck and 
extract bounce. 

1460
01:32:40,920 --> 01:32:43,160
They have two of them, so they 
have a choice to play both. 

1461
01:32:43,360 --> 01:32:46,320
If the pitch is bouncing, they 
have a swing bowler who's 

1462
01:32:46,320 --> 01:32:50,560
bowling like he's always been at
his peak. 

1463
01:32:51,160 --> 01:32:54,280
They have a leg spinner. 
They have a left arm spinner who

1464
01:32:54,280 --> 01:32:56,040
can also bowl bouncers and seam 
up. 

1465
01:32:56,480 --> 01:32:59,600
They have Romaru Shepard who can
bowl. 

1466
01:33:00,080 --> 01:33:03,480
They can have Venkatesh here if 
they need to be pissed. 

1467
01:33:04,040 --> 01:33:06,160
Stacked team man. 
This is how you build a team. 

1468
01:33:06,640 --> 01:33:12,480
If they go back-to-back, Suyash 
Sharma might become the first 

1469
01:33:12,480 --> 01:33:16,200
player to win three titles. 
back-to-back might. 

1470
01:33:16,800 --> 01:33:24,480
I'm not sure again if I'm wrong.
Baji did that. 

1471
01:33:24,960 --> 01:33:39,480
Baji did baji no ha no I I 
19/20/21. 21 was Chennai, 18 was

1472
01:33:39,480 --> 01:33:44,400
Baji, 18 Baji was with CSK and 
18 no I don't think Baji then 

1473
01:33:44,640 --> 01:33:54,480
Karan Sharma 1617. 17 RPS. 
I don't think anyone is done. 

1474
01:33:55,000 --> 01:33:57,400
It is possible Nobody has done. 
We just, we just like. 

1475
01:33:57,680 --> 01:34:03,640
You know, throwing names. 
He was at MI in 201718 methods 

1476
01:34:03,640 --> 01:34:07,320
CSK 18 to 21. 
He was in CSK. 

1477
01:34:07,680 --> 01:34:11,600
So he won three on the .16 with 
SRH, 17 with MI, 18 with CSK. 

1478
01:34:11,920 --> 01:34:16,440
Yeah, good to solve, Curly. 
I'm crazy. 

1479
01:34:16,440 --> 01:34:18,520
Yes, Yeah. 
So CS Sharma becomes. 

1480
01:34:18,840 --> 01:34:22,960
He becomes oh also so yeah, 
nice, nice continuation. 

1481
01:34:23,600 --> 01:34:25,560
If if RCB go back-to-back, he 
he. 

1482
01:34:25,800 --> 01:34:30,000
Yes Sir. 
Say yeah, With that, we come to 

1483
01:34:30,000 --> 01:34:33,920
the end of this episode. 
We wanted to discuss something 

1484
01:34:33,920 --> 01:34:36,480
else, but I guess that's another
episode altogether. 

1485
01:34:36,920 --> 01:34:41,560
Thank you so much for listening.
But behind recording. 

1486
01:34:41,560 --> 01:34:51,440
Stop, Katya. 
Gets a second hundred in 

1487
01:34:51,440 --> 01:34:54,160
successive. 
Dramatic style. 

1488
01:34:54,440 --> 01:34:57,160
The whole of Bengal are on their
feet. 

1489
01:34:57,160 --> 01:35:00,880
Not that important. 
He's gone. 

1490
01:35:01,040 --> 01:35:04,200
The next ball. 
The dream has diminished for 

1491
01:35:04,200 --> 01:35:05,280
Carlos Bratwick.
