00:30the performance of your last few matches, how do you see the match of India?

00:36Yes, there is a big match for people to see their point of view.

00:41But we don't see this thing as a team.

00:44We see that day by day the next match will follow the same process.

00:49And we can better the improvements in our process.

00:54And as a team, we trust that if someone doesn't perform,

00:58and there is a gap in someone's performance,

01:00then if we have a big match or a back-to-back match,

01:03then it gets covered.

01:05So, there is a team of 11-15 people,

01:07so we don't want to perform one or two.

01:10We just want to meet everyone.

01:12So, this is our combination.

01:16In the light of this big victory,

01:19how does it feel?

01:21You know, generally what the decision to bat first

01:25also was to get a feel for everybody

01:28and be ready for the important match?

01:32Not really.

01:34Actually, we saw the conditions.

01:36It looked pretty dry.

01:38And we thought that it's going to be no due.

01:40So, batting first would be…

01:42Batting first and give them a big target

01:45and then defend it on that pitch.

01:48That looked slow.

01:49So, that would be difficult for them.

01:51So, that's why we batting first.

01:53You didn't play the T20 World Cup in New York.

01:56You didn't play the T20 World Cup in New York.

01:58So, sit on the bench,

02:01how did it feel that Pakistan won't chase one-twenty

02:04and that was the last match with India with T20?

02:08Sir, it's been a year and a half years ago.

02:11At that time, you asked me to tell you how it felt.

02:14I don't remember, sir.

02:16I don't remember.

02:17Time, we asked.

02:18Sir,

02:19Asia,

02:20the UAE lag is running on Pakistan's team.

02:23The performance of your team is not able to sit with the bat.

02:28What's the way you are seeing?

02:30Is there any pressure on you?

02:31Or the team management has something on this?

02:34If you can tell about team combinations,

02:37because it's a lot of talking about Pakistan

02:40with two specialists or the pacers.

02:43The two players were the strategy for the charge.

02:45It was here.

02:46Because, for India,

02:47the batting,

02:48for the second passer,

02:49you think that

02:50the other players are not going to be a strategy.

02:53First of all,

02:54as I said,

02:56we all trust as a team.

02:57And it's a long term process

02:59that we all trust.

03:00It's a long term process

03:01that we all trust.

03:02We all trust.

03:03We all trust.

03:04It's a long term process

03:05that we all trust.

03:06It's a long term process

03:07that we all trust.

03:08We all trust.

03:09We all trust.

03:10We all trust.

03:11It's a long term process

03:12that we all trust.

03:13We all trust.

03:14We all trust.

03:15We all trust.

03:16That we all trust.

03:17That we all trust.

03:18That we all trust.

03:19That we all trust.

03:20And all the players are confident.

03:21And all the players match.

03:22So,

03:23it's only to be effort.

03:24And then,

03:25the result,

03:26no one can tell us

03:27that in the end of the day,

03:28who will perform.

03:29The other thing,

03:30as far as you have talked about

03:31the combination of the game,

03:32the players,

03:33we try to assess conditions.

03:35We try to match day.

03:38It's about the day

03:39that pitch is how it looks.

03:41If it feels dry,

03:42we feel that spinners,

03:43then we go for three spinners.

03:45And if it feels like

03:48that fast baller

03:49should be able to get

03:50those coaches.

07:39Yeah.

07:40It is challenging to have an injury.

07:41But I think what I think is it's not in our hands and like it's uncontrollable.

07:48So if it happens you do what you have to do and then come back to field again and give the

07:55full effort.

07:56Saim, top of the order, just with Bumra, how would you be a big challenge?

08:02Absolutely, sir.

08:03When you play a match, you have a challenge for every baller.

08:07The biggest challenge is to be able to get away from the team and to be able to get away

08:10from the present moment.

08:11That's important.
