00:00I think you have to move on, let other people talk. I don't like to talk too much about our
00:06time. I think today's cricket is more important. We should talk about these cricketers. They are
00:12wonderful. They are done so well. I think it's a wonderful, you know, it's a network and you're
00:20playing a tournament, you're competing yourself as a sportsman. Even I stopped playing, you know,
00:28my sports and come out and compete with myself only. I'm not trying to compete with anybody.
00:35I think it's a wonderful, this is a great sports where you take a challenge and try to prove your
00:41talent. I think once a sportsman is always sportsman. Yes, once I go to the field or to
00:47the golf course, then I like to compete. I just want to go happy. Yes, I played better than
00:53yesterday. That's all what we look for. I think it's a wonderful to see, you know, the Indian
00:59fast bowler coming out and bowling so well and we feel very proud and happy. Siraj is not Bhoomra
01:07also. It's a group of fast bowler. When they come out, then it becomes much more difficult for the
01:13opponent. Not one fast bowler, a group of fast bowler. So I feel very happy and proud to see
01:20Indian fast bowler is recognized by the world. I'm very humble and I feel very happy. Our hero
01:27talking about ourself and Sunil Gavaskar was everybody's hero during our time and if he talked
01:36something this big, you feel very proud and happy. I think end of the day in a team, if you start
01:43getting respect and I think you feel very happy, you don't mind working hard over there, thanks to
01:52IPL, thanks to Indian cricket, the way they organize the cricket. Now, it's not only you are talking
01:58about spinners, you're talking about fielding, running between the wickets and the fast bowling
02:04was the weakest point in our cricket always. Spinner, we always produce so well. But I think
02:10if you have to make a team, you have to cover all the corners. So I must say that I feel very happy
02:18to see the fast bowler coming to an age where we can feel proud about it. I think that
02:24whole world requires that. And you can't really say a fast bowler is an all-rounder.
02:30An all-rounder is an all-rounder and a wicket-keeper can be an all-rounder. A spinner can bat and bowl.
02:36I think the top of the list always remains, do you have the capacity of best
02:43fielding side also. So I consider all-rounder, not batting, bowling, in all corners of cricket,
02:52all sides of cricket, you have to play well. I think you have to move on, let other people talk.
02:59I don't like to talk too much about our time. I think today's cricket is more important.
03:05We should talk about these cricketers. They are wonderful. They are done so well.
03:09And their ability and talent and their fitness is unparalleled. After the event, the easiest
03:16things to talk. Yes, true. It's not right. I think it's not right to criticize the way they played.
03:23The tournament is more important. They played fantastic. Yes, the final hurdle is very, very
03:29important. They couldn't cross that. But I must say that they played cricket during the World Cup
03:35like a champion. I think it's not fair for me to talk about that. The responsibility given to the
03:41selector, they will pick up somebody, you know, good. It's the most important that somebody
03:49have to be worthy in the team all the time and good enough to be there. And then you have to
03:55look into that. Today, due to the IPL, they got a lot of experience to do the captaincy. I wish
04:04Hardik Pandey should have been fit enough to play test cricket. He's the candidate because you can
04:10pick any youngster and give him time to lead the country. First, he has to be good enough to be
04:18there all the time. If one player is good enough to play all kinds of cricket, I think it's good
04:24enough. But if you think you can share the workload to the other people also, I think it's
04:31nothing wrong. The experiment by other countries have done and it looks good. It all depends on
04:39what kind of player you have, what kind of a captain you have. You want to give workload to
04:45one captain in all the three formats. That's what you have to see when you sit on the table.
