00:00 Yeah, because I haven't done anything wrong. I have two minutes to get to the crease and
00:10 get myself ready, which I did. And then it was an equipment malfunction. And I don't
00:16 know where the common sense went. Because obviously, it's obviously disgraceful from
00:22 Shakib and Bangladesh if they want to play cricket like that. Obviously, stooped down
00:26 to that level, I think there's something wrong, drastically. Because, you know, if I got late,
00:37 if I got past my two minutes to get to the crease, and in the law says you have to be
00:43 ready within the two minutes and I was there two minutes, 45 or 50 seconds I still had
00:48 after my helmet broke off, I still had five more seconds to go. And the umpires also have
00:58 said to our coaches that they didn't see my helmet breaking. I mean, I was just asking
01:04 for my helmet. So it was just pure common sense. I'm not talking about mancading or
01:12 obstructing the field here. This is just pure common sense. And bringing the game into,
01:17 you know, disrepute. It's absolutely disgraceful. Yeah, you need to respect people who respect
01:23 us. It doesn't mean that, you know, they have to respect the game itself. I mean, we all
01:29 are ambassadors of this beautiful game, including the umpires. So then, if you don't respect
01:35 and if you don't use your common sense, what more can you ask for? Yeah, so I mean, see
01:42 up to today, I had utmost respect to him and Bangladesh team. Obviously, you know, you
01:50 all play to win. And if it's within the rule, it's fine. But the rule clearly says, in my
01:58 incident today, within two minutes, I was there. We have video evidence. We will put
02:03 out a statement later on. We have video evidence, footage, everything was looked. I'm not just
02:09 coming and saying things here. No, I think in terms of mancading and say obstructing
02:15 the field, the rules are quite clear. I mean, because the rule clearly says that if you're
02:23 out of your crease, the bowler can, you know, break the stumps. And so, if you're in line
02:33 of the stumps and if you're obstructing the ball being hit to the stumps, then it clearly
02:39 says you're out. But here, where is the common sense? Here, I think in my 15 years of career,
02:46 I've never seen a team going down to that level because obviously, the umpires also
02:53 admitted that it's, you know, equipment malfunction and they could have gone upstairs and checked
02:59 again. Yeah, I mean, what's the point, you know, not checking at that time and then saying
03:04 it afterwards because I'm not saying if I was, you know, there we could have won the
03:09 match. It's a different story. Okay, but still, you need to have your common sense in terms
03:15 of using technology. And also, it was clearly a malfunction. I mean, it just came off. You
03:23 know, I didn't mean to, you know, pull it and break it. You know, I still had my time
03:29 as well. And I was complete, you know, I was in complete shock. Yeah, in my opinion, yes,
03:35 because if I haven't done anything wrong, whose fault is it? Well, as I said, it's a
03:45 technicality, you know, which needs to be discussed because it's a World Cup game. And
03:53 what happens if this happens in the last over when you have three or four runs to get in
03:59 the last wicket? I mean, it's just pure common sense and just have to, I mean, it was not,
04:07 I wasn't trying to waste time. I wasn't trying to get advantage of anything. It was just
04:15 pure equipment malfunction and it just happened for the very first time in my career. And
04:22 I'm absolutely shocked. I don't know. I'm not going to say that, you know, if I had
04:28 batted today, we would have won the match. I'm not saying that. I mean, I'm just talking
04:34 about that, you know, incident where obviously it was a crucial time of the match and it
04:41 could have gone either way. I mean, we could have got, you know, 54, you know, 60 runs
04:45 more as well. You never know. But it was just pure disgraceful.
