00:01Hello everyone, this is Shubhan here, the captain of the Indian Cricket team is here to attend a press conference.
00:05I hope everyone's phone is on silent and kindly raise your hand if you wish to ask a question.
00:11Shubhan, you've seen Mohit and Virat do what they've done tonight plenty of times.
00:17Do you still sit back and enjoy a partnership like that and savor what they can do as a partnership?
00:23Yes, definitely. I think they've been doing this for the past 15 years for us
00:28and to be able to watch them play like this and get the team through unbeaten is really a treat to watch.
00:37Shubhan?
00:38Shubhan, what do you get the batting from the experienced pros?
00:43Your first series of ODA series here in Australia as an ODA captain of course.
00:48How much assurance do you get when you play the team's most important game?
00:55I think, sir, as a player, there was no doubt that they won't perform.
01:04But definitely, it feels very good.
01:07As a captain, when you watch the match, it feels very good that the two senior players are playing on the team and they're getting the team through.
01:17We'll take questions in English first.
01:20English questions.
01:22Yeah.
01:23How stressed are you?
01:25He's actually in the hospital right now. He's under the screening of doctors.
01:29Yes.
01:30Shubhan?
01:31Shubhan, I want to know a little bit about your first question.
01:35It feels like the three teams have got a good start.
01:37Shorts are also good.
01:39What happened?
01:40Shubhan, I think, in the last few weeks, you asked about the team, in Brisbane, you said that it's going to connect.
01:46But after that, it's not going to be a big loss.
01:49So, what is this question?
01:51Yes, I think, before coming, I don't feel like there's anything in betting.
01:56Sometimes it happens when you get the start, you get a good shot.
02:01In the first match, I was down the leg out.
02:04So, I don't think I need to do something on betting.
02:08Sometimes it happens in 2-3 matches.
02:10Obviously, you want to perform as a team in every match.
02:15But I'm not too worried about my performance.
02:18Shubhan, in the past, you have spoken very highly about Rohi Sharma and Virat, who have been your idols.
02:24How was your feeling when you were watching these two legends performing this kind of innings
02:29and you being the captain of India?
02:31Can you just elaborate on that?
02:33I think, like I said, it's a treat to watch both of them, especially when they're betting like that
02:38and seeing the ball fly off their bats and just hearing the sound that comes off their bat is something, you know,
02:47that tells you how good of a nick that they're both in and watching them from outside, you know,
02:53having that partnership for them and taking the team through is something that we often talk about
02:58in team meetings that whoever is set, even in the last match we spoke about, you know,
03:02we got two-three good partnerships but none of the batsmen couldn't really play a longer inning.
03:08So I think they are, and they both spoke about, you know, whoever said they should take the team through
03:13and they are, I think, walking the talk, so it's a great bonus for us.
03:18Shubhan, sorry, a bit of a slightly left-field question for you,
03:21but you've played England and Australia in Test cricket in the last twelve months.
03:26Now that you're in sort of a neutral position, you know,
03:29is there a team that you feel has the upper hand for the Ashes or a team that you feel has the attack?
03:35I think, honestly, both the teams are very well balanced, I would say,
03:42and I think it's going to be a really good series to watch.
03:46Sorry, we'll request if the questions are about the Indian cricket team.
03:49Shubhan, Harshit's performance in this match has often been criticized by him.
03:57He played a very important knock on Adelaide,
04:02so I'll tell you about his performance.
04:05Obviously, he's one of the premier fast bowlers in India right now,
04:09but he's also played on his batting,
04:12and he's also played on the next team.
04:14So, what does the team look like,
04:15how does the team look like a bowler who can contribute down the order?
04:18Yes, sir, I think,
04:19the position of our number eight,
04:21that if the batsmen go there,
04:2320-25 runs,
04:25we can have confidence that he can do it.
04:27So, that's a very important position.
04:29And, I think, if you can see,
04:32a very low fast bowlers,
04:33who can put up 140 plus,
04:36so in such victories,
04:39or if we are looking forward to South Africa,
04:42such a victor,
04:43such a bowler,
04:44I think,
04:45is very important for you,
04:46because in middle-overs,
04:47there's no movement off the wicket.
04:48So, if you have a good height and pace,
04:50then you can create chances.
04:52And, I think, that's the same.
04:53It was a very good start for Australia,
04:55but,
04:56from the same time,
04:57our spinners have played the ball,
04:58pressure created,
05:00and then,
05:01Harshitian,
05:02I think,
05:03it was a good reward.
05:05Just about captaincy,
05:07Shubhan,
05:08you've heard a lot about captaincy,
05:09about test cricket,
05:10but this one-day cricket,
05:11the rhythm,
05:12what did you enjoy about it,
05:13and what did you learn the most?
05:15Many takeaways,
05:16you know,
05:17I think,
05:18even in the second ODI,
05:20one of the things that I learnt is,
05:22you know,
05:23you get to know about the opposition
05:24as you play them more.
05:26You get to know
05:27more about their players
05:28as you play them more.
05:30And, I think,
05:31even in the second game,
05:32there were a lot of learnings for us.
05:34I think we were very close.
05:35If we would have,
05:36you know,
05:37taken those couple of chances,
05:38you never know.
05:39More pressure,
05:40more pressure on them,
05:41this series could have been different for us.
05:45Shubhan,
05:46Australia,
05:47we had a final start,
05:48a final start,
05:49a final start.
05:50We had a doubt,
05:51we said,
05:52we will have 300 plus,
05:53or chase.
05:54And,
05:55what kind of spinners
05:56have been chopped,
05:57in this wicket,
05:58you think,
05:59Indian spinners,
06:00even if we have talked about
06:01South Africa,
06:02in the World Cup,
06:03this formula can be done.
06:04In the middle-overs,
06:05you have the spinners,
06:06who are the wicket,
06:07also,
06:08what kind of spinners
06:09do you handle it?
06:10What kind of strategy do you have?
06:12Yes sir,
06:13I think,
06:14just,
06:15in the last match,
06:16I saw that,
06:17once the ball is over,
06:19the fast ballers are good on the bat,
06:22so,
06:23that's why,
06:24Kuldeep,
06:25how can we take the middle-overs,
06:26how can we put pressure on them?
06:28And,
06:29I think,
06:30one,
06:31when one of the players
06:32washi has put 10 over in their spell,
06:33he was throwing out the 10 over for a round,
06:34and he was doing so good.
06:36And,
06:37because he is controlling,
06:38and you can attack on the other side,
06:39and you can attack on the main ball.
06:41If you are thinking,
06:42when a spinners are good,
06:43you can hit him,
06:45and if you are thinking,
06:46that a fast baller can beat him,
06:49with a small spell,
06:50and I think,
06:51this is depending on the situation,
06:53and you can create chances for the baller,
06:54If you think that which baller can create chances for you
06:58So that's my thinking
07:00That the baller can create chances for you
07:04No, especially in one day cricket
07:06Especially in one day game
07:08Especially in 5 fielders
07:10So it's very difficult to out
07:12Coach Gautam Nubir is not asking you to practice something on toss
07:18I'm talking about my house
07:20For anything on toss
07:24Yes sir
07:26Yes sir
07:28One thing that we talked about in the beginning of the series
07:30Is that Roedt and Virat
07:32They play one format
07:34And 7.5 months later
07:36Can you talk about it
07:38How do you feel about it
07:40Obviously there are very big players
07:42Skill-wise and everything
07:44But how do you feel about it
07:46How do you feel about it
07:48How do you feel about it
07:50Or a month later
07:52How do you feel about it
07:54Sir I think I don't have any questions
07:56But I think after South Africa
07:58After South Africa
08:00There will be a gap between international cricket
08:02And New Zealand
08:04So I think
08:06We will see
08:08In touch
08:10How do you feel about it
08:12It will be a big player
08:14Finally one of the
08:15Shuman
08:16Of course you are in your own
08:17In your own
08:18Starting place
08:19In England
08:20We have seen you have made some of the best
08:22But in this ODI series
08:24With Virat and Rohit
08:25You have seen you leadership-wise
08:27Or skill-wise
08:28You have seen it
08:29How do you feel about it
08:30How do you feel about it
08:32How do you feel about it
08:34Yes, absolutely
08:35I think it is a help
08:36When these experienced players
08:37Who have played so many
08:39And have been
08:40So many matches
08:42So if I have doubts
08:44I can ask them
08:46I think it is a relief
08:49As a captain
08:50I think
08:51It is a relief
08:52As a captain
08:53That you are
08:54Obviously
08:55With Rohit or Virat
08:57What you feel about it
08:59You can talk about it
09:00Thank you captain
09:01Thank you
