00:30He's a captain, but I think you have to depend on the team, not individual.

00:49I think when you depend on one player, it's not a very good thing.

00:52He's a very important player, he's a captain, but I think you have to depend on the team,

00:58not individual.

00:59Don't ever look up to individuals.

01:02They are important, but not as important as the team.

01:05We have all the strength to win the World Cup.

01:08They have to play like a unit, and I hope there are no injuries.

01:12That's the most important thing.

01:13If a 70% burn, if you have burned 70%, if you have a will to live, you will live, right?

01:23And if you are 30% burn and have no will to live, you will die, that's very important.

01:30So I think it's important, it's important, whatever the burn you have, you make them

01:36believe we can do it.

01:38And I wasn't over confident, I think just three weeks before that, we won West Indies

01:48in their country against West Indies.

01:51That is the first time West Indies have ever lost to anything in West Indies.

01:56So once you get the taste, you can start convincing yourself, of course, on their backyard, we

02:02beat them, so we can do it again.

02:05And as a captain, you just have to make sure if you rub those things with a positive word,

02:11it will make sense.
