00:00Absolutely brilliant timing. Shivam Dhobi, everything is hitting the middle of the bag.
00:06The maximum credit goes to Shivam Dhobi and his captain.
00:10Everything went well.
00:11And his coaches, yes, they were there.
00:13Because they had a set on him.
00:15So the shots he hit, he hit more cross-backed shots.
00:19I think now he's hitting straight also.
00:21Yes.
00:22He hit the mid-on as well. Long off.
00:24He hit the mid-on as well.
00:26He's actually a very good hitter.
00:28He's got a good flow.
00:30He hits long-on.
00:42Hello and welcome to One India.
00:44I'm Avinash and I'm joined by Mr. Satish Saman.
00:47You might not have heard of the name Satish Saman.
00:50But you definitely would have heard about Shivam Dhobi.
00:53Yes, the world champion, Shivam Dhobi.
00:55Who just won the T20 World Cup for India in India Colours.
00:59And we saw the victory parade.
01:01So we are standing at one of the grounds.
01:03The Maidans of Mumbai.
01:05And here we will talk about Shivam Dhobi.
01:08Who is a household name today.
01:11Apart from that, the rest of the Indian players are household names.
01:15But the journey of all Indian players starts somewhere from these grounds.
01:20The person behind the success of every Shivam Dhobi, every Rohit Sharma, every Virat Kohli.
01:25Is someone like Satish Saman.
01:27Or Dashan Sharma.
01:29Or Rajkumar Sharma.
01:31Or Dinesh Lal.
01:33But with us today is Mr. Satish Saman.
01:36Sir, welcome to One India.
01:38First, let's talk about...
01:40First, let me congratulate you.
01:43That your product has ultimately delivered and helped India
01:48break that jinx of more than 11 years.
01:51The drought is over.
01:53So, how are you feeling?
01:55India has become the world champion at this time.
01:57There is no question.
01:59How are you feeling?
02:01Whatever you are feeling, I am feeling.
02:03The hard work that I have done for years.
02:05After the 2011 World Cup.
02:08I won the championship in 2013.
02:10Yes.
02:12After that, for many years,
02:14Last year, we were very close to achieving it.
02:18But after so many years,
02:20If you win such a big championship.
02:22World Cup is a World Cup.
02:24You can't compare it with any other.
02:26I heard yesterday that we are in the Olympics.
02:28In 2008, I think.
02:30That will be a bigger event.
02:33But for now, the World Cup is the best.
02:35It is a big event.
02:37So, congratulations to all of you.
02:39Everyone is happy.
02:41Now, let's talk about Shivam.
02:44When did you spot him?
02:46Tell us about his journey.
02:50Shivam Dubey, I think,
02:52Between 2011 and 2012.
02:54He came here.
02:56His father took him here.
02:58Before that, he left cricket for 4-5 years.
03:02He started playing cricket in his childhood.
03:04I think 10-12 years.
03:06After that,
03:08He stopped playing cricket for 2 years.
03:11So, after a gap of 4-5 years,
03:13He came here.
03:15The height that you mentioned,
03:17We don't see that tall players in Indian cricket.
03:20Mostly, 5'10 to 6'1.
03:23This is how it is.
03:25These players with big height,
03:27Is it an advantage for players?
03:30Or do you think it is a disadvantage?
03:32I think, it is an advantage.
03:34Because they have more reach.
03:36For them, a bowler can change his normal length.
03:40So, they have to adjust.
03:42The height that he has,
03:44It is an advantage for him.
03:46The tallest batsmen in the world,
03:48They have taken advantage of it.
03:50I think, it is an advantage for Shivam too.
03:53That's why, even if the ball is far,
03:55You will see,
03:57He can easily reach and collect it.
04:00We have seen,
04:02Shivam had a very good turnaround.
04:05When he was playing with Chennai Super Kings in IPL.
04:08We saw,
04:10Last year,
04:12He got a 6-hitting machine tag.
04:15Although, we have seen him do similar things in
04:18Retreat Hockey and Domestic Circuit.
04:20But, his past franchises,
04:22He wasn't able to replicate that success.
04:25But, after coming to Chennai, he did it.
04:27Many people thought,
04:29This is Chennai's pitch.
04:31But, how come a player like Shivam Dubey,
04:34Who likes the ball coming nicely onto the bat,
04:36And he hits it for a longer distance.
04:40How did this transformation happen?
04:42Because, you have closely monitored him.
04:44There are 2-3 things.
04:46First thing is,
04:48Maximum credit goes to Shivam's captain,
04:51Nelson Dubey.
04:53And his coach, Pankaj Dubey.
04:55Because, he had a set on him.
04:57It was very important.
04:59And, he knew his role.
05:01He knew, I have to do this.
05:04If I fail,
05:06If I don't perform well,
05:08Then, my place is not in danger.
05:11I will get more opportunities.
05:13If a player has to play with so much assurance,
05:15Then, the player will play without fear.
05:17And, when you play freely,
05:19Without fear,
05:21Automatically, you get the best.
05:23Like you said,
05:25Chennai's pitch is slow,
05:27But, there is a bounce in the pitch.
05:29In the bounce, as you were saying,
05:31Bounce matters.
05:33Bounce matters for the batsman as well.
05:35And, to hit a six, you need an elevation.
05:37If you need an elevation, you need a bounce.
05:39So, you can hit the ball far.
05:41So, he bowled.
05:43He had a slight issue.
05:45A slight technical issue.
05:47In front of a fast bowler,
05:49In front of a short ball,
05:51A technical issue was created.
05:53What happens is,
05:55Normally, in cricket, you are bowled in an area.
05:57If you look at the fielding,
05:59Offside is a six, sometimes a seven.
06:01Offside is a two, sometimes a three.
06:03So, you have to play the maximum ball offside.
06:05So, the batsman's mindset is
06:07That I have to play here.
06:09So, his technical setup is ready
06:11That he is ready to play on this side.
06:13So, when he played on this side,
06:15He had the same style.
06:17So, because of that,
06:19His shoulder was a little closed.
06:21And, he was taking the bat from the bottom end
06:23Towards the inside, to play on this side.
06:25So, the middle-legged area on this side,
06:27Which we call a blind spot,
06:29Was getting bigger.
06:31So, it was a little difficult for him
06:33To play the ball from there,
06:35Or from the inside.
06:37So, there was a slight issue.
06:39So, two or three years back,
06:41He told me that
06:43I have to work on this.
06:45So, I worked on this.
06:47I worked on this in an academy.
06:49Last year, I was with MCA academy
06:51As a batting coach.
06:53So, I got to train with him for a long time.
06:55So, I worked on this particular thing.
06:57And, actually, his mind was clear
06:59That I have to work on this.
07:01So, according to that, we set up
07:03The bowling machine,
07:05The bowlers,
07:07To bowl from a shorter distance.
07:09And, the technical issue was,
07:11Now, a lot of issues have been sorted.
07:13So, naturally,
07:15The shots he used to play earlier,
07:17He used to play more cross-back shots.
07:19Now, he is hitting straight also.
07:21He hits the mid-on from above.
07:23I will ask him to play this.
07:25At least, his issue,
07:27According to me,
07:29Okay.
07:31This comparison keeps going on.
07:33Sometimes, Shivam Dubey looks like a taller version
07:35Of Yuvraj Singh as well.
07:37Because, he plays both spin and
07:39Pass bowling quite comfortably.
07:41Obviously, and against spinners,
07:43If a batter hits two shots,
07:45People rate him highly.
07:47So, has Shivam Dubey
07:49Improved
07:51His bowling style?
07:53His qualities?
07:55It's good if he stays clear.
07:57Sometimes, I was with Yuvraj.
07:59I was with Air India.
08:01So, he was a
08:03Captain of that team.
08:05So, I was the coach of that team.
08:07So, I have seen him closely.
08:11So, sometimes,
08:13You can see a glimpse of him.
08:15You can see a glimpse of Yuvraj.
08:17When he is full-flown,
08:19Basically, he is a long-run midfielder.
08:23He is a bit different when it comes to
08:25Pass bowling.
08:27But, when it comes to spinners,
08:29Maybe, he must be a bit more
08:31Influenced.
08:33There is nothing wrong in that.
08:37Okay, sir.
08:39During the World Cup,
08:41We saw that Shivam was getting dismissed
08:43Quite cheaply.
08:45When he came to the US,
08:47That would have given him confidence.
08:49But, during that time,
08:51During the World Cup,
08:53Or before the World Cup,
08:55When you met him,
08:57You probably must have told him
08:59That the pressure is going to be there.
09:01You are going to represent India
09:03In the World Cup.
09:05There were a lot of talks
09:07That Shivam was not the right choice.
09:09He could have been a better player.
09:11He could have been a better option
09:13At the position that Shivam bats in.
09:15He could have got a left-handed batter.
09:17So, all these things
09:19Have a huge impact on the player.
09:21What message did you give him?
09:25When a team is selected,
09:27The composition
09:29Of the team
09:31Depends on the strength
09:33And weakness of the team.
09:35I feel that
09:37In the last two years,
09:39Even in the first-class cricket,
09:41The performance of the team
09:43Is very good.
09:45You have to create a page
09:47Of the team.
09:49You don't have to be
09:51Number 5 or 6.
09:53So, you have to consider that.
09:55So, in my opinion,
09:57It would have given him confidence
09:59That no matter what,
10:01He has to play his game.
10:03So, I think,
10:05In the selection matter,
10:07There is no power.
10:09You have to select him
10:11And he has to play his game.
10:13That's right.
10:15But, his job
10:17Is completely different.
10:19When he was right-handed,
10:21His batting pitch was so ideal.
10:23All the batsmen
10:25Struggled.
10:27120 was a winning score.
10:29His role was
10:31To play the shots.
10:33So, it is not possible
10:35On that certain type of pitch.
10:37If the pitch is good,
10:39If the pitch is even,
10:41Then you can play.
10:43But, on that type of pitch,
10:45You need time.
10:47So, the best batsmen
10:49Struggled a lot.
10:51You can say that
10:53His second batsman
10:55Struggled a little.
10:57But, he played well
10:59In 2-3 matches.
11:01In fact, he played
11:03A vital cameo
11:05In the final.
11:07There was a lot of pressure.
11:09He had to perform well.
11:11He didn't do anything
11:13In his previous matches.
11:15But, he has wicketed
11:17In a situation like this.
11:19So, the role he played
11:21Was beneficial for Virat.
11:23Naturally, India
11:25Also benefited from it.
11:27I consider it to be
11:29His best innings.
11:31It was very important.
11:33Virat got some breathing space.
11:35He didn't get a sixer from me.
11:37But, someone hit him from the front.
11:39So, it was very important.
11:41You asked about Shivam.
11:43About Shivam,
11:45There was additional pressure.
11:47When I told him
11:49About him,
11:51He said,
11:53He knows his game.
11:55He knows his game.
11:57I knew that
11:59Even if his face is out on zero,
12:01It's okay.
12:03Shivam's message was,
12:05Don't worry.
12:07Just focus on your game.
12:11Play on your ability.
12:13That's game.
12:15Time will change.
12:17If you perform well in the final,
12:19Your message will be heard.
12:23A prodigy disciple
12:25Is not forgetting
12:27His coaches, his teachers.
12:29And that's the beauty of the game as well.
12:31It teaches you humility.
12:33It's important to be humble.
12:35You learn this from the field.
12:37There are many types of players.
12:39They come from different teams.
12:41There are youngsters as well.
12:43You get together
12:45And learn team spirit.
12:47Sir, let's talk about
12:49Your academy.
12:51There are more players.
12:53Shivam, he's played for India.
12:55He's a world cup winner now.
12:57He'll get more limelight.
12:59But there are more players
13:01Because of whom Mumbai Cricket
13:03Is at the same level.
13:05We saw that in Ranked.
13:07After a few seasons,
13:09The team has made a comeback.
13:11There are many players.
13:13Especially from my age group,
13:15There are many players.
13:17The academy we had in 2008,
13:19That was the academy's
13:21First edit back.
13:23There were hundreds of players.
13:25At that time,
13:27Mumbai had
13:29117, 119,
13:31113.
13:33In India,
13:35There were
13:37119.
13:51There were many players.
13:53There were 119.
13:59There were many players.
14:01There were 4 players who
14:03Graduated from our academy.
14:05Ranvani,
14:07He was Mumbai's highest
14:09Winner.
14:11Dhanush Kotian,
14:13He was with us for 4-5 years.
14:15Suryansh Shirky,
14:17He was the latest sensation.
14:19He's still with the academy.
14:21There were many players
14:23At Mumbai's junior level.
14:25The captain of Mumbai
14:27Under-19,
14:29He was with the academy.
14:31There were many players
14:33Coming from the academy.
14:35We are working on that.
14:37The boys are responding well.
14:39If you are in Mumbai, you are bound to ask
14:41We've heard a lot of
14:43Khadoos brand of cricket that Mumbai is
14:45Famous for.
14:47We have also seen the revolution of
14:49Khadoos cricket in
14:51Test cricket and RNG.
14:53When we talk about
14:55Limited overs format,
14:57Like IPL,
14:59That Khadoos
15:01Brand of cricket takes us
15:03Backseat.
15:05Being a coach,
15:07It's easy or difficult to explain to the players.
15:09The youngsters
15:11Have to hit all the shots
15:13For 6 or bounding.
15:15Depending on
15:17The essence of batting,
15:19How do you convince
15:21The youngsters and players
15:23To focus on your defence as well?
15:25Let me clear
15:27What you said. Khadoos
15:29Means attitude.
15:31Khadoos doesn't mean
15:33Standing.
15:35Khadoos means fighting.
15:37No matter what the situation is,
15:39Our winning team
15:41Is called Khadoos attitude.
15:43They fought.
15:45In 30 balls.
15:47They will give it to anyone.
15:49Even after that,
15:51When you have so much confidence
15:53In your ability,
15:55You have to give up easily.
15:57You have to give up Khadoos.
15:59Khadoos means standing,
16:01Defending.
16:03Khadoos means
16:05No matter what the situation is,
16:07We will not use weapons.
16:09We will fight till the end.
16:11That is Khadoos.
16:13This is right.
16:15Because
16:17T20 is happening,
16:19IPL is happening,
16:21The mentality of the kids is changing.
16:23Even the parents.
16:25They think it is easy to play IPL.
16:27They think so.
16:29It is not that easy.
16:31To impact them,
16:33You have to go through the normal cricket process.
16:35In a simple thing,
16:37No matter how good an attacking player you are,
16:39If your defence is not good,
16:41You will be out.
16:43To defend a good ball,
16:45You have to be strong technically.
16:47You have to work on that.
16:49You have to work on a particular thing till the right age.
16:51After that,
16:53You have to play tactically and mentally.
16:55You have to know what is the bonus.
16:57You have to practice all the shots properly.
16:59In our academy,
17:01Sometimes we use rules and regulations.
17:03According to the situation,
17:05If there is a clear situation, you have to bat like this.
17:07And once in a month,
17:09You have to play the way you want to play.
17:11Those type of kids,
17:13Who play reverse sweep, switch hit,
17:15They never practice on the net.
17:17But they hit so correctly,
17:19They play well.
17:21They don't practice, but they play well.
17:23In the future,
17:25You will play normal cricket.
17:27But still,
17:29In our times,
17:31When we were playing cricket,
17:33You can say that,
17:35When you play a shot from above,
17:37You don't have to hit.
17:39I have heard that.
17:41A lot of people are thrown out.
17:43You keep playing from below,
17:45Don't you know how to hit from above?
17:47There is a change in time.
17:49When there is a change in time,
17:51Why is cricket such a successful game in India?
17:53Because it is changing.
17:55There is no end to it.
17:57They are experimenting with new things.
17:59And they are executing accordingly.
18:01They are learning accordingly.
18:03I have seen,
18:05Where did Rohit Sharma play reverse sweep?
18:07He played a lot.
18:09He played a lot.
18:11This means,
18:13They know that it is necessary.
18:15It is necessary with time.
18:17This means,
18:19Proper practice.
18:21Don't play directly in the match.
18:23When they are confident about that,
18:25They can play.
18:27If you see,
18:29He has changed everything.
18:31If he plays reverse sweep,
18:33He can play.
18:35If he plays 145 or 150,
18:37It means,
18:39He has improved his mental ability.
18:41So, naturally,
18:43He is a very positive sign.
18:45You were talking about practice.
18:47A lot of people,
18:49We just saw,
18:51They were not talking about practice.
18:53They were talking about Suri Kumar Yadav's catch.
18:55We were talking about it.
18:57You explained it well.
18:59How much of a practice?
19:01Practice is one aspect of the game,
19:03Which is not
19:05Talked about a lot.
19:07But behind this,
19:09How much effort does a cricketer put in?
19:11About the catch,
19:13You will shed some light on it.
19:15How much effort did Suri Kumar Yadav put in?
19:17The catch that was completed.
19:21You were talking about the catch.
19:23If the catch was more than 6 inches,
19:25It would have been difficult.
19:27Luck was with him.
19:29It was close to his heart.
19:31That's why,
19:33He practiced a lot.
19:35And it will be difficult.
19:37According to me,
19:39He practiced at least 200-300 times.
19:41When I was with Rajasthan Girls,
19:43We used to practice a lot like this.
19:45How to catch on the boundary.
19:47You are going to the boundary,
19:49You have to look back.
19:51When the bow fielder comes,
19:53You have to catch the ball and give it to him.
19:55You can out.
19:57In 6 runs,
19:59You will reduce 4 runs.
20:01You are seeing so much effort in the girls.
20:03Yes.
20:05It is very significant.
20:07This is done by practice.
20:09You are right.
20:11Fielding is the most important part.
20:13If you want to improve your fielding,
20:15Then your batting and bowling
20:17Is the main thing.
20:19No.
20:21When you do fielding,
20:23You go for your team.
20:25When you do batting and bowling,
20:27You have to be a little individual.
20:29Because it is my first run.
20:31How many boundaries did I save?
20:33This will come in the score book.
20:35People will recognize.
20:37How many boundaries did you save?
20:39Maybe you did a run out or a catch.
20:41Maybe your name will come.
20:43But on the ground,
20:45You will get a point from Johnny Rhodes.
20:4720-25 feet around him.
20:4920-25 feet?
20:51Yes.
20:53He will give 30-35 runs in a match.
20:55He will save 20-35 runs in a match.
20:57He will catch the plane.
20:59He has a lot of potential.
21:01The time you give in fielding,
21:03You don't give it in batting and bowling.
21:05You take out the overall calculation.
21:07I think fielding is a very important part.
21:09When this match happened,
21:11When our score came,
21:13I saw this pitch.
21:15It was a 200-run pitch.
21:17It was the best pitch in the 15th tournament.
21:19And when we played our first pitch
21:21It was a bad pitch.
21:23We didn't have to bowl.
21:25If we had bowled two shots,
21:27I thought if it was a 175-180 run,
21:29we wouldn't have played.
21:31We would have won.
21:33And that's what happened.
21:35When they had their innings,
21:37When we bowled 175 runs,
21:39I thought if we match their fielding,
21:41If we match their fielding,
21:43If we match their bowling and batting,
21:45Then we can win this match.
21:47If we don't match their fielding,
21:49Then we can play our best in the tournament.
21:51Then we can play our best in the tournament.
21:53Absolutely. It was the best fielding and bowling.
21:55Because you are defending the target
21:57Because you are defending the target
21:59in a big match, in a high stakes contest.
22:01In a big match, in a high stakes contest.
22:03And the RK team has made history.
22:05It's raining from Mumbai's ground.
22:07It's monsoon season.
22:09There are less players and youngsters.
22:11But you won't see less enthusiasm.
22:13And I'm sure in the coming days,
22:15Satish sir and all the coaching community
22:17in Mumbai and across the country,
22:19Satish sir and all the coaching community
22:21will see a new wave of players and youngsters.

22:35You have seen us in the past
22:37when we have won a World Cup

22:41After that, you have seen a new wave.
22:43I haven't heard of it yet.
22:45I haven't heard of it yet.
22:47But I can say it's a tsunami.
22:49But I can say it's a tsunami.
22:51But I can say it's a tsunami.
22:55But I hope that
22:57many parents and children
22:59will see this.
23:01will see this.
23:03If this can be done,
23:05why can't we do it?
23:07Naturally, it will be a lot of pressure.
