00:51So, the run rate is not a problem. Smriti is a lot of support.
00:55So, this is the partnership.
00:57We are talking about single-level, single-level.
00:59At some time, Pratika's strike rate was not a problem.
01:02It was a lot of support.
01:04But today, he has done a very beautiful finish.
01:07And after that, he has done a good finish.
01:10So, every player is a different player.
01:12There is a stroke player, strike player, single-level player.
01:16It is a quality of everyone.
01:17You don't compare anyone.
01:19Smriti is not a comparison.
01:21He is a number one and one.
01:23So, his style is a single-level player.
01:25He is a football player.
01:29You have told me that you are coaching from his childhood.
01:32And he has become a very elegant player.
01:34Like, he has been a very good player.
01:36He has been a very good guy.
01:37And the timing is coming through.
01:39So, do you know how much your training was on your childhood?
01:41I am a hard eater and a medium-pacer bowler, university level, so I have to play with him.
01:50After that, in 2017, there was a great opportunity for the railway coach.
01:55You have seen the improvement in India for the semi-final.
02:02We are going to Australia.
02:05What do you want to say?
02:07I would like to say that India is a team that can beat Australia and can kill it.
02:15In the world, there is no team that can kill it.
02:19If it happened, India will kill it.
02:22Sir, I would like to know about childhood.
02:25Have you identified a spark that you can play at the international level?
02:30I taught him to play it for 3 years.
02:32I taught him to play it for 9 years.
02:34I taught him to play a match at the university level.
02:37There were 5-6 girls in Ranji Trophy.
02:41There were 6 girls in Ranji Trophy.
02:45When he was 9 years old, he would win 50 runs.
02:48All the kids, as much as a senior player, would win 50 runs.
02:52When everyone told him,
02:54I thought,
02:59That is a place that I have to play with.
03:01My parents always want to play with me.
03:03But the other people told him,
03:05I thought,
03:07That is a good job to play with India.
03:11This career is a good thing.
03:13I have already made a thousand plus.
03:16How do you want to finish?
03:18How do you emulate your career?
03:21I would like to say that my ideals are Sachin Delukar and Breen Lara.
03:27I would like to say that they are made like a milestone,
03:29like a century, a run, and their name is like that.
03:33I would like to say that.
03:34Thank you so much sir for speaking to us. It was a pleasure to talk to you.
