00:00I didn't want to be a cricketer, honestly.
00:03I wanted to be a sportsman.
00:05I just wanted to play.
00:07I used to get football, I used to get table tennis.
00:10Whatever I didn't get from my studies,
00:13I'm playing 90% of the time, right?
00:20And again, I won't say much.
00:23I used to say it before.
00:26Because sportsmen are taught only one thing.
00:30Only play. Keep your mouth shut.
00:34And when they let you play,
00:36they say, only speak.
00:39When you came to the World Cup to bat,
00:42what was your mental temperament?
00:44If you could tell us in 5 minutes,
00:46really that would be great.
00:49Sir, I'm from Delhi.
00:51Where did you bat 10th?
00:5310th was in Delhi.
00:54What did you do that day?
00:55What did you eat in the morning?
00:58I don't remember.
00:59You don't remember?
01:02Sir, we...
01:03You said such an important thing about life.
01:06You don't remember.
01:07And you say, tell me what happened to me.
01:10How did you remember?
01:12It was 20 years ago.
01:19Look, there are two kinds of people.
01:22One is the one who tell stories.
01:25And the other is the one who make stories.
01:33We don't talk about it.
01:35We remember it.
01:37You tell us.
01:38We don't make stories.
01:40What happened?
01:41What happened?
01:42What happened?
01:49Kapil! Kapil!
01:51A huge round of applause!
01:56I have often said that
01:58God has given you a few days in your life.
02:25But it feels good when
02:27the rest of the people remember your good days.
02:30Wow!
02:33Sir, how did you find your passion for cricket
02:35and that you wanted to be a cricketer?
02:37I didn't want to be a cricketer.
02:39Honestly.
02:40I wanted to be a sportsman.
02:42I wasn't a cricketer.
02:44I was a player who played anything.
02:46I even used to fly kites.
02:49I just wanted to play.
02:51I used to get football,
02:53I used to get table tennis.
02:55Whatever I didn't get from my studies,
02:58I used to play it.
03:00It was my passion.
03:05So I used to just play.
03:07But when I say,
03:09not I will tell all the kids,
03:11when I went to the school,
03:13I used to play football.
03:15For football,
03:16I used to get two hours off in class.
03:19For cricket,
03:20I used to get three days off.
03:23So 90% of the kids are playing, right?
03:30Everybody can't play for the country.
03:33But one thing is for sure,
03:35everybody can play.
03:38Everybody can play.
03:41And that's very, very important.
03:44What we say,
03:46if you play the game,
03:47one thing is important,
03:49you learn in life,
03:51how to take loss and win
03:53in the same breath.
04:05The bottom line is,
04:07to work hard.
