01:39I was able to rotate the strike.

01:42I was able to carry the pressure on the team.

01:46I was able to carry the pressure on the team.

01:50Next, Dubai was slightly at a pressure.

01:54In the end, there was a lot of endings.

01:58That helped me personally as a partnership, also for the country.

02:03The last over is not a pressure.

02:06The last over is not a pressure.

02:09Sorry?

02:10The last over is not a pressure.

02:12The last over is not a pressure.

02:14I have already said Dubai.

02:16The last over is not a pressure.

02:18You will cover the other end when you are in Dubai.

02:21I am out and I am confident that I will finish the game.

02:25So, by God's grace, I have done it.

02:27In India Park, many people did not see it.

02:31But many people did not see it.

02:33They did not see it.

02:34And the other team did not see it.

02:36They even thought the opposite reactions.

02:38They were doing it.

02:41They were being disturbed by the game.

02:44How did you start in Pakistan?

02:46It started in India-Pakistan match, but it was a bit hard for me.

02:53But I've already talked about sport.

02:56So, sport and emotions are connected.

02:59So, we have replied in a good way to them.

03:05First of all, I'm very happy, such a legend.

03:21Virat Benedi is a global star.

03:24So, Chinnapani has inspired India.

03:29So, I'm very proud of Atlantis.

03:35But I'm happy that I played Asia Cup in India.

03:40I started in the 2011 World Cup in the 2011 World Cup.

03:46But in January, there was a World Cup.

03:48So, that's why I won't be able to play the World Cup.

03:53But all of my friends around Japan will put the parties together.

03:56But no problem!

03:57I'm oportunidad to be able to get at all the parties.

03:58So, that's why I'm not going to be able to play a role in the world.

04:02I'm not going to be able to play any of my team at a time.

04:05It's not going to be the last time.

04:07I won't be able to play any of them.

04:09But I haven't got anything at all.

04:10Greatly, I haven't got anything.

04:11Just have to have respect.

07:11Taking all this class and playing calm,

07:14was our sad day.

07:16This has been my habit in style.

07:19When we talk about this class,

07:23we see that in Warat Pahk's match

07:25it is often seen,

07:27But after this operation,

07:29there is very high voltage in the first two matches.

07:32In the third match,

07:34Other times, they tried to make pressure on their hand.

07:40In second inning, they really hit the first three wickets.

07:45After that, it started to get harder.

07:48I was talking a little bit more about it.

07:53I said that when we talk about it,

07:59we're not targeting our country.

08:03I always say that I don't have to win matches, so I don't have to say anything about the matches.

08:10I have to say all the things that I have to do.

08:13I have to follow the basics, I don't have to answer any questions.

08:17After the match, I have to say anything good.

08:19But after the match, I don't have to say anything good.

08:21Do you always try to start Pakistan?

08:24No, no.

08:45I can't tell you in the camera.

08:47I keep playing against the match.

08:49In India-Pakistan match, I keep playing against the match.

08:52It's a part of the game.

08:55I have been doing the match, but I did my best.

08:58Even when we have won the match, I figured out the match.

09:03I am able to do it.

12:14which I played before in Chennai against England.

12:17But of course, playing in Asia Cup, that two against Pakistan in under pressure is one of the greatest feelings.

12:23So, I would rate this one of the best innings comparing to my 200s.

12:27This is the best feeling I ever experienced.

12:32So, Tantrans, after the last over, what was going on in your mind at that time?

12:38I was calm under pressure.

12:40I know that I will win the game.

12:42So, I was just thinking about my country and just focusing on the one ball at a time I was playing.

12:47I backed myself and I have done for my country.

12:50So, I am so proud of it.
