00:00Absolutely. And especially when you're making a comeback, it's very important. It's a very
00:03fast-paced tournament. You need to realize to stay alive in this. You will lose some,
00:08but how many you end up winning. And that is very important. You don't need confidence only
00:14when you lose. You need it when you're winning as well. And it's that body language you wanted it.
00:18And I think the only thing that we wanted as a support staff to give them enough
00:23confidence or environment where they can perform to their level best. And most of the guys have
00:28done that. As far as potential is coming, it comes into the picture. I said it earlier as well.
00:33Some of them are really, really talented. But it's about turning that potential into a performance
00:39and that you can do it when you start feeling easy, when you start feeling confident. And most
00:44of the boys have done that. Not really. I think the main purpose when the tournament started was
00:48to get into the last four. And now it's a knockout stage now. It's a knockout stage.
00:52If it's a knockout stage for us, it's a knockout stage for South Delhi as well.
00:55Let's give credit where it's due. I think their two batters are batting exceptionally well.
01:00And this is what we've been thinking about. How do we counter them? Because their batting is
01:04absolutely revolving around Prashant Arya and Ayush Padoni. They are the two mainstays as far as
01:12their batting is concerned. So the only thing will be that how we try and catch them early. How do
01:17we get them out early and put pressure on South Delhi side? But yeah, you're absolutely right.
01:21They're playing some really good cricket. Absolutely important for the game. I can
01:27completely understand when players are playing a very heavy schedule and they don't have enough
01:31time. But this is a season opener. And the standard goes automatically high if all top-class
01:36bowlers are playing in a competition. And when you want to judge a youngster coming in the side
01:41who will get some runs, the value of those runs will be high because the kind of bowling attack
01:46that you are scoring those runs against. Very happy to see the amount of talent or the amount
01:52of names are playing in this year's Delhi Trophy. It's a brilliant concept. I think as far as
01:55white-ball cricket is concerned, there are so many players who are waiting for something like
01:59this to happen. Because when you're playing for state, what happens is only 10-15, maximum 20
02:05people get an opportunity throughout the year. But with this, six teams involved,
02:09you're talking about almost 200 players playing or not playing, being a part of this setup.
02:14It's a fantastic opportunity. I think credit must be given to Mr. Rohan Jaitley. The way
02:19they have organised this, the thinking behind it and organising it in such a good way. I think
02:25this tournament is going to go up from here. A lot of people will be waiting for the second
02:29edition. And I think this is what speaks about a tournament where people start waiting for the
02:35second edition. And I think this is what's going to happen. It's going to be a great tournament.
