00:00I focused on what I had to do and media wrote after what I did and there were occasion where
00:26they wrote before work I went out to play as well. Sometimes they were good things, sometimes unpleasant things.
00:34But I kind of focused on what I felt was my priority. My priority was to go out there and play again.
00:44And that is exactly what I will advise all the youngsters. Social media is important.
00:51It is about how much you lose and to what extent you want to get engaged in that and what is your priority in life.
00:59I am very clear in my head. You know, appreciation, whatever happens, it is for old.
01:09It's better performance for that and after that everything happens.
01:13My simple advice would be to stay focused on what you feel is important in life.
01:19When you are talking about ISP, you are talking about getting better at play. Stay focused on that.
01:25Whatever happens after that is a reaction to what you have done on the field.
01:30So don't do it. The more you complicate, the more complicated it is going to get. So try and keep things in there.
01:38First of all, hello everybody. I am very very happy to be a part of this family. Thank you.
01:48When this tournament started, the idea excited me a lot also.
01:56You know, because we have all grown up doing what is happening here also, playing street cricket.
02:04And more so in our times because we didn't have social media also.
02:10So we were more proud of this. So the concept itself is very nice. That attracted me.
02:17And also I felt that the country is so vast. And the talent in our country is so vast that it is very very difficult to tap into the talent.
02:31And this creates a great platform for the talent to come forward.
02:35And also in sports I feel the timing for the talent is very very important.
02:41Because for the players, I am sure you would agree that if they don't start at the right time, you age and your talent goes wasted.
02:50So that timing is very important. You can't keep waiting for like 10 years because I have great talent and something will happen.
02:56So this platform gives that opportunity. And that's what is great about it.
