00:00I think everyone wants to do just their jobs and Rishabh is trying his best.
00:07Yes, the numbers don't show. He has been trying and he's been practicing very hard
00:14to come out on the better side of the performance and the team has no problem
00:21with that because you know this is a team sport so you have the luxury of
00:27picking others up it can't be you cannot be looking at one person and because
00:33there are 10 other players so and not 11 players perform in every game and he
00:39has a big role of not just batting yes batting yes but also keeping and you know
00:46leading the side and setting an example which I think he's been doing right.
00:51How are you looking at the two matches remaining? Is it build up for the next two seasons?
00:56next season and giving more time to the bench strength?
01:02I think I'm not the right person to answer that question but if you ask for me if I get my chance
01:08I want to do as well as I can help my team win and finish on a winning road for the team.
01:14So Digwesh will not be here for this match any idea on or has there been any conversation around who is replacing him or anything?
01:26No nothing has been clear yet but yes we have a very strong side.
01:34A lot of good players who are waiting for the chance including me thank you.
01:38So but yeah he's a spinner and I am not so let's see whoever gets the chance I'm sure they're gonna it's gonna be fruitful for them.
01:48So hello yeah so have you been hinted that this is the match last two matches that you may get your chance and you said you're waiting for your chance.
02:00So obviously when before that the players are sounded off that be ready that you may get to be in the real eleven.
02:09Have you been kind of yes definitely I have been in the scheme of things and it's just that I the situation has not come right in the in the sense that I have a certain role and I will be coming in as an impact if that role is required at the point of time in the game when the impact that is needed.
02:34Have you been in the team discussed that what went wrong and where it went wrong for Lucknow you know having this strong team.
02:47Not so openly I would say but yes we all know where we like it's not where we went wrong it's about what things that we can do better.
02:58So it's just a different way of looking at things and we want to look at things in areas to improve rather than what we did wrong and yes we are trying to rectify them going forward.
03:12I think there's always area to improve in all areas you know you cannot be arrogant enough to feel that you know that this is our area where we can't like there's nothing better that can be done.
03:27We are always improving and talking about all the things and trying to be a better team.
03:32Yes it's not turning out on the right side for us right now but that doesn't mean that we are not following the process or not working hard in making this team a very good team.
03:44Hi this side Siddharth here from the PTI you know taking all the losses and all these things it's a game of cricket it has happened but what is the kind of atmosphere right now how's your morale what's going on inside I mean how you guys are coping up with it how your mental state is at this point because that's very important especially in the later part also if you see at the next season also.
04:12What has been your personal experience if you would say about the takeouts what you have taken out and how do you see the morale of the dressing room at this point in time?
04:21See definitely the last loss last game against Hyderabad we were not very happy generally you know if you lose a game no one is really happy but the last game I would say was the game where we felt like because it was very happy.
04:41Like because it was our last hope of qualifying we're out of the race so I think emotionally all of us took a hit there but apart from that if you ask me that you asked me personally what I feel this is what I feel and this is what I said when I made my debut and they asked me to say something.
04:59That this team the atmosphere in the dressing room is such like it is the best dressing room atmosphere I have been a part of okay and that comes from like since childhood since my under 14, 16, 15 whatever like my club games I've played in India whatever this is the best atmosphere I've been in because all of us are friends.
05:22Friends and we have a very open culture anyone can speak about anything to anyone and if they feel they have done something wrong we are open and everyone takes criticism well.
05:34So I think that is a very good and healthy thing I'm really happy.
05:40I'm really happy.
