00:00I'm very happy that RCB is in the final.
00:02I'm very much looking forward to the final and hopefully this will be there for RCB.
00:05I think he's done a lot for cricket around the world over the years.
00:09And yeah, so luckily we'll still see him on the cricket field.
00:13He will be missed in test matches, there's no doubt about it,
00:15but he leaves a great legacy with a red ball.
00:18Yes, it's time for the younger guys to step up.
00:22I saw Shipman Gill taking on the responsibility.
00:25There's lots of talent in India and largely credit to the IPL for that.
00:29What's your first thing? You have played very good people.
00:31What's your reaction with you? Can you comment on anything?
00:35Yes, we're at Islam Gymkhana Cricket Field.
00:39It was an absolute honour coming in here.
00:41First of all, very much welcomed by the people who organise these things over here, the admin.
00:47My first reaction was just a feeling of gratitude, inspiration.
00:53Watching these guys on their wheelchairs playing cricket with smiles on their faces,
00:58really enjoying it.
01:01And it's beautiful to see.
01:02And then something else came to mind,
01:04like really hoping that they'll get more opportunity in the future,
01:08better facilities, sponsorships for equipment.
01:12And I would love to play a role in that.
01:13But I had a lot of fun with these guys.
01:15They're all very talented cricketers.
01:17All have a great hand-eye coordination.
01:19And on top of it all, we just had a really enjoyable time together.
01:24Ebi, while you're playing the IPL, you're part of the RCB.
01:29Right now, RCB in the final.
01:32What's your feeling?
01:33I'm very happy that RCB is in the final.
01:36We saw MI winning last night.
01:38So it'll be a very good qualifier too.
01:41A knockout match between Punjab and MI.
01:44Looking forward to that one.
01:46And whoever deserves it will play RCB in the final.
01:48So I'm very much looking forward to the final.
01:50And hopefully this will be there for RCB.
01:52Sir, you have played with Virat Puli.
01:54But Virat Puli and Rojasama have announced retirement from the tennis cricket.
01:57Do you think it's a very early to announce retirement?
02:01I don't know.
02:03He must have listened to his heart.
02:05And time for him to move on in his opinion.
02:08And he followed his gut field.
02:09So I think he's done a lot for cricket around the world over the years.
02:14And yeah, so luckily we'll still see him on the cricket field.
02:17He will be missed in test matches.
02:19There's no doubt about it.
02:20But he leaves a great legacy with a red ball.
02:22Yes, it's time for the younger guys to step up.
02:39So Shubman Gill taking on the responsibility.
02:42There's lots of talent in India.
02:44And largely credit to the IPL for that.
02:47Really giving great exposure to some of the youngsters.
02:49At a very early age, we saw Vibe of Surah Vanshi this year.
02:54Many other youngsters that come in and they look like Matre.
02:59Too many to mention.
03:00They come in the first year and they look very mature and ready to play cricket.
03:03And it's a great platform for Indian cricket.
03:06So they've got to take some responsibility on in England.
03:09It'll be a tough test.
03:10But they have all the talent in the world.
03:12And if they believe, maybe they can achieve something special.
03:14One more question.
03:15Last question, we're talking about RCB.
03:17Right now, RCB in the final.
03:19Which team you think that it should be coming to the final?
03:22Punjab or Mumbai in England?
03:23I said quite a while ago, about a month ago, that Punjab and RCB will be in the final.
03:28MI look very strong right now.
03:30So it looks like the odds are against my goal.
03:33But it is still cricket.
03:35You never know.
03:35It is a knockout match.
03:37It takes one or two great performances to turn the pressure onto your position.
03:41So I think it's still going to be Punjab.
03:43But I've got a little bit of doubt now in my mind after watching last night's game.
