00:00I won't say it's wrong, but obviously the crunch moments of the match, whether it's chase or defend, they're not able to catch it.

00:11In the T20 game, each team has moments, so it's very necessary to catch it.

00:19This year, when there's a crucial catch, it's going to shoot.

00:24In the T20 game, it's going to be out in the T20 game.

00:33That's our biggest concern, that when it's going to accelerate in batting, our wickets are running.

00:40I'm talking about crunch moments, and we're not able to win those moments.

00:45Next.

00:55Yes, sir, it's going to happen. We've won 5 matches.

00:59We've won back-to-back.

01:01But yes, obviously, as a player, as a sportsman, we should never leave hope.

01:07And as you said, there are many experienced players in our team.

01:12And our hope should be made.

01:15And as you said, sir, the losing streak has been 5 matches.

01:31And to break in T20, the winning streak and losing streak is very important.

01:37When they're winning, it's very important that they're going to win and keep high focus in every game.

01:43And at the same time, when you're winning, it's very important that the losing streak is going to break it.

01:49Which hasn't happened here.

01:51As I said before, in three games, I think we should have 9400 games.

02:15But as I said, when we're in between wickets are running and when we're trying to accelerate,

02:29it's not going to happen at that time.

02:31As I said, when we're planning to accelerate at the time,

02:36when we're making a run rate, when we're making a run rate,

02:38it's not going to happen at that time.

02:40And the plan is not going to be able to execute.

02:42So this year, it's like this.

02:44So remember, last year, when we were playing,

02:46all these moments, we were trying to accelerate.

02:49We were trying to accelerate.

02:52This is Riyan Parag, this is Dhruv, this is Ashasvi.

02:55All these people, they were trying to win all these moments.

02:58The fielding was very good.

03:00This year, it's actually a lacking part.

03:04So I feel, I feel, it's costing us.

03:07But it's so much better for them,

03:09it's getting better than the previous job.

03:14But the people who tried to play,

03:18but the people who tried to play their release points,

03:20let's say, may they hurt a little bit.

03:22Is this the highest pitch?

03:24Obviously, the height has more advantage in the balling and it depends on pitch to pitch.

03:31There are some pitches where the height is more than there actually disadvantage.

03:36I would say like our Jaipur pitch.

03:39If your height is a little bit normal, the ball is a little bit lower.

03:42Hit is a little bit tough.

03:45Generally, Bangalore pitch is not like this.

03:48But this year, the height of the back of the length is more than there.

03:53The ball is flying.

03:54So, both teams were one of the ballers.

03:57There is a difference between the height of the pitch.

04:01For sure.

04:02A smash question.

04:03Sanju Chantar is playing as a captain, as a bachelor, as a leader.

04:09What changes are Sanju, Sethi, Andrea, and Sanju?

04:13Is that making it a little tough for you as a team?

04:17Obviously, he is running away.

04:19He is an experienced captain.

04:20He is a player.

04:21And as a batsman, he is very smart.

04:24So, he is running away from the first three matches.

04:26He has not done the captain's inside.

04:28And then after that, he has injured his side again.

04:31Obviously, he is costing us.

04:33All these things have come together.

04:36He is pulling down the team.

04:39But I won't say that the balling unit is getting tough.

04:44Because with Riyan, this is my third year.

04:48And all the ballers have.

04:50Everyone has their own plans.

04:52Look, as a captain, when our balling starts,

04:57only field and placement are involved in it.

04:59The balling plans are already on the ballers.

05:04And in our team, almost all the ballers have.

05:06Jofre, Thikshan, Fuzzle, or Haisal Runga.

05:10Everyone has experience.

05:11Everyone is playing internationally.

05:12So, they don't need to tell them more.

05:13They have to take their plans.

05:15They try to execute.

05:16Sometimes, what happens?

05:17Sometimes, what happens?

05:18The captain's inside, the field placement can be better.

05:21It helps.

05:22At the same time, it keeps calmness.

05:24Which one captain is continuing.

05:27So, as you said, yes.

05:29All these things are contributing to us to pull down.

05:33But I am pretty sure that we will bounce back.

05:36And as I said, I feel, one game at a time.

05:41And try to break this losing streak.
