00:00Mr. Madan Lal, former cricketer, who's with us on the phone line.
00:03Very good afternoon to you, sir.
00:04Your response to how Pakistan has issued an apology,
00:07said sorry to India for taking away our trophy?
00:11Well, at least they said sorry, you know,
00:13because they know that they have made a mistake.
00:15So that's why they are saying we are sorry.
00:18But all these things shouldn't happen.
00:21Because the trophy, which is what we're talking about,
00:23is it's public, live televised.
00:26So you're saying sorry, it's the meaning,
00:28like you have done something wrong, you know,
00:30because he doesn't have the knowledge of the game,
00:32of sports, you know, how the sports should be played,
00:34how we should behave.
00:36And there were so many people,
00:37so there were people who were standing in the dais.
00:39He should have said, okay, right,
00:41if I'm not giving, you give it to the trophy.
00:44What is the hell, you know,
00:45if he has done this.
00:48So they have done their country
00:50and their name completely wrong.
00:54Absolutely done.
00:55I think, you know,
01:19Mohsen Nakhmi must have thought about that.
01:22Oh, I think not India won,
01:26it's Pakistan won.
01:27That's why he ran to give it to the Pakistan team.
01:29He made a mistake there.
01:31So he should have it right there and then.
01:33And why should Surya Kumar Yadav go to him,
01:37to the office and get the trophy?
01:39He can, because the trophy dene ga joh madha hai,
01:43woh toh ground ke ahupar hai na.
01:46Jo team jithi hai, let them celebrate, you know,
01:48because they played a good cricket.
01:49They were beaten Pakistan 3-0.
01:52So these are the things which matter.
01:53But, you know, if people doesn't have the knowledge,
01:56you know that they are appointed by the military people,
01:58you know.
01:59They have, everything is in their country
02:01is all appointed by the armed forces.
02:03So that's what happened when you have
02:05the known knowledge of the game.
02:07Oh yes, absolutely.
02:10And in fact, the response that you said,
02:12BCCI saying the exact same to Mohsin Nagvi.
02:14Why should Surya Kumar Yadav come and accept the trophy?
02:18Because he was the one who snubbed you.
02:20And Pakistan pretty much getting that message.
02:23But now they've come to apologize.
02:26And more and more voices coming in,
02:29Mr. Madalala, if you agree,
02:30that this can't just be an apology behind the doors.
02:35This is something that needs to be official,
02:38that needs to be formal.
02:40I think it might be ACC, you know,
02:42might have a meeting and think about like this, you know.
02:45So that the next time it doesn't happen like this.
02:48I think definitely they will have a meeting
02:52and they will decide then, you know.
02:55But definitely I believe they had made a mistake
02:58and they are apologizing.
03:01That's good enough.
03:03But at the same time,
03:05look at the Pakistan, you know.
03:07Their people, you know,
03:08like the head of the cricket board, you know,
03:11apologizing to the, you know, publicly.
03:15That itself is a, you know,
03:17I think it's a shame.
03:18Oh, yes.
03:19And what a mockery they've made of themselves,
03:21of their nation,
03:23of cricket
03:24and the kind of brick paths they've faced
03:27in all these days
03:28as if the defeat wasn't enough
03:30and how they were sore losers
03:32to actually go on to steal our trophy.
03:35And now bending down to say,
03:37okay, we are sorry
03:38and we should not have done this.
03:42Yeah, they know that they had made a mistake.
03:45That's the main thing, you know.
03:47So, you know,
03:48the whole country is in a shamble, you know.
03:50What do you expect from them?
03:52All these things will you expect from them,
03:56they'll do anything, you know.
03:57Look at the way they have,
03:58their player has behaved,
03:59the way their official is behaving,
04:01where their,
04:02even the public is, you know.
04:05It's a sport, you know.
04:06You take it as it comes.
04:07Because your team is not,
04:08was not good enough to win the Asia Cup.
04:12So that's why you lost, you know.
04:14You know, then you have to be
04:15big-hearted people, you know.
04:17Never mind,
04:18we will come back strongly next time.
04:20But that's what they are.
04:22You know, they cannot judge us at defeat.
04:24Oh, yes.
04:25Mr. Madhalal,
04:25I want to thank you
04:26for speaking to India today.
