00:00Yes, the way we played the tournament, we played good cricket and New Zealand is also playing good cricket.
00:05But there is a good advantage that we have defeated New Zealand in league matches.
00:08So I think we will have that confidence.
00:10But that is history. I think we have to stay in the present.
00:13This was the last match of this tournament and we have to play good cricket.
00:17So I think it will be important that how we will play well in 100 overs as a team.
00:21Because whatever we have come here, there were also very difficult challenges.
00:26But as a team, we have crossed it.
00:28Like the basics, where the start was good.
00:30Where Subhman Gill and Rohit started us well.
00:33And then Virat and Shreyas Iyer did the role of handling the middle overs.
00:39And the way Pandya finished was also important.
00:42In some matches, Akshar's contribution was good.
00:45So as a team, we have come.
00:46Ultimately, any team is a champion if it is a team.
00:49My job as a coach is to motivate and inspire them.
00:53I don't think there is any bigger motivation than this.
00:57When you play for the country, you wear the jersey of Team India.
01:00That is the biggest motivation.
01:02And Shreyas realizes that playing for Team India is a big thing.
01:07Not everyone gets that opportunity.
01:09He worked hard for the last year.
01:11Sometimes you get the opportunity to work on your game when you are out of the team.
01:17That is why we go out and work on it.
01:20Shreyas did the right thing.
01:21He updated his game.
01:23What challenges he faced.
01:25What technique he should have.
01:27What mindset he should have.
01:28What fitness he should have.
01:29Because in a year, he had a lot of injuries.
01:32Shoulder injuries.
01:33Back injuries.
01:34And with that, he first fixed his body.
01:37And then he enhanced his skills.
01:39It is a good thing to be a mystery spinner in the team.
01:43The wicket-taker.
01:44In the current conditions, it is a challenge to get a wicket in the middle overs.
01:49Because they are good quality batsmen.
01:51It is not easy to get their wicket.
01:53But the way we played.
01:55In the first three matches, we played with three left-arm spinners.
01:58And now we have the option to play with a leg spinner or a mystery spinner.
02:01That wicket is demanding.
02:03Because there has been a lot of wear and tear.
02:05There was a lot of cricket in Dubai.
02:06The ILT tournament just ended.
02:08After that, we played a lot of cricket.
02:09So there is a lot of wear and tear in the wicket.
02:11That is why the spinners come into play.
02:13And I think we have that option.
02:15That is the biggest thing.
02:16New Zealand has selected teams like Australia.
02:21They know how to play knockouts.
02:23They know how to play ICC trophy.
02:25So I think this is a big thing.
02:27And they have good diggers players like Williamson.
02:30He is very consistent.
02:32He has the ability to make runs in every format.
02:36And he is a quality player.
02:37His wicket will always be a prize wicket for us.
02:40And the way he does his homework.
02:43When he was playing in Pakistan.
02:45He had to put the ball on the line.
02:47When he came here, he put the ball on the line.
02:49He has the best options.
02:51He also has two good spinners.
02:53They know how to play 50 overs.
02:55These two are the biggest players of one day.
02:58You cannot buy their experience in the supermarket.
03:00They have so many years of experience.
03:02The way they play in pressure situations.
03:05We saw that when we were going to play the T20 World Cup.
03:10Both of them showed why they are important players.
03:13The way Rohit played in the T20 World Cup.
03:19He always played as a captain.
03:21He played selfless innings.
03:23He played the way the team wanted.
03:25He played the way the team wanted.
03:27And then the middle over batsmen carried that role.
