00:00Abhishek, tell us about your mentality.
00:05You are playing in Australia.
00:07What challenges do you feel different in these pitches?
00:12And when the wickets fall in front of you,
00:15what do you think about batting style?
00:17Do you think about your natural game?
00:20Do you want to continue?
00:22Tell us about your thought process.
00:24Obviously, the team plan is that I will play.
00:30Our team plan is that the top order will dominate.
00:34But today, I feel like it was a little unexpected.
00:38I feel like they were playing as a baller as a spot.
00:42They were playing as a line and length.
00:46But obviously, when the victory is in front of you,
00:49it is better to play for the team.
00:53So, the situation was not clear.
00:55I was not aware of the situation.
00:57I felt that the score will be more difficult.
01:01Because the biget was difficult to play.
01:03The shots were not easy to play.
01:05But that was my mindset.
01:07And the challenges in pitches?
01:09The challenges in pitches, I think.
01:11There are many players who have the first tour.
01:13Including me as well.
01:15So, somewhere else, I knew that the extra bounce pace
01:18will be able to play the ball length.
01:24So, I think that all of us were prepared.
01:28It's just that, as a batting unit,
01:30I feel like it was a little surprise.
01:32We were surprised that the bounce and the pace was coming.
01:35And the discipline balling.
01:37I think the credit goes to them.
01:39And with Harshit's partnership,
01:40if you also know about Harshit's partnership,
01:42if you also know about him,
01:44because he's also a batting promotion.
01:46So, what would you say about that?
01:48I knew that Harshit is going to batting.
01:50Because in the net,
01:52I knew that he was going to batting.
01:54But, I knew that he was going to batting.
01:56But, I had the same plan.
01:58He didn't come to me and say that
02:00we are going to play a little bit.
02:01So, I think as a batter,
02:02he was aware of what the situation is
02:04and that we are going to play a little bit.
02:06But, I think that if Harshit is going to play,
02:08the righty-lefty combination will be good.
02:10That's why he came up with Shivam Dube.
02:14Because we needed a little righty-lefty combination on the pitch.
02:19So, he did a lot of good.
02:26Abhishek, you had done a hundred in Zimbabwe.
02:29After that, the game was a little lower.
02:31Then, you came back again.
02:33There is a different version.
02:35There is a different version.
02:36The fearlessness.
02:37And then, the license to kill.
02:39In the team.
02:40Where is this transformation?
02:41This is your thing.
02:42This is your thing.
02:43This is your team.
02:44This is your team.
02:45This is your team.
02:46This is your coach.
02:47This is your coach.
02:48This is your coach.
02:49This is your individual game.
02:51This is your team.
02:52No.
02:53Obviously, the team has seen me that
02:55this is better.
02:56And, obviously, when I sit and practice,
02:58I feel that it is very important.
03:00I do practice from home.
03:02If you need this approach,
03:04you have to be very consistent.
03:06Because it is up and down.
03:07But, my hope is that
03:09if I give a start,
03:10then, when we have 4-5-6
03:12betters,
03:13they get a little time.
03:14and, I feel like,
03:16when I practice and play a game,
03:17I have to get a little pressure from the baller.
03:18I have to practice.
03:19I have to practice.
03:20I have to play a little more.
03:21I have to play a little bit.
03:22I have to play a little bit.
03:23I have to play a little bit.
03:24and I have to play a little bit.
03:25I have to play a little bit.
03:26So, I have to practice a lot.
03:28So,
03:29I have to practice some of them.
03:31Then, after the team,
03:32Jiji and
03:33Suray,
03:35I felt that
03:36if anyone wants to play a little,
03:38I might just need a little support.
03:40They have to support me.
03:41That was my goal.
03:42Anytime you talked about it,
03:43I did not go down,
03:45I was looking for a little bit, I was looking for a little bit,
03:47even when I was talking about it, I felt like I was thinking a little bit,
03:52they are very clear in their mind, that they want me to play like this only.
03:55So when I was talking about captain and coach,
03:58I felt like playing like this,
04:02and I felt like when I was playing like this,
04:04when I was playing like this and my team was winning,
04:06I felt like I had a lot of work on it.
04:08Because it's not easy, you play more shots.
04:10That's it.
04:15What kind of challenge does Josh Acewood pose?
04:20I think as a batter, I was watching him in the ODAs as well.
04:24So somehow we knew that he's going to give us this much difficulty and challenges.
04:30So obviously the way he bowled today, even I got surprised.
04:34I haven't seen something like this in T20s.
04:36It was something new for me as well.
04:38Because I'm a batter that wants to dominate,
04:41but when I was seeing on the other side,
04:43that how he's bowling and even to me as well,
04:46it seems like he had a plan and he was just executing it.
04:50Are you relieved to know that he's not going to play for the rest of the series?
04:54Oh, is he? I didn't know this, but obviously.
04:57I mean, he's good enough to play all the formats,
05:01but still I was enjoying this challenge because somehow as a batter,
05:06you have to face the world-class ballers.
05:08And that's what I was trying to do.
05:11I see the cameras spotted you and Travis Head having a conversation before the game.
05:17At the end of the pitch there, did he give you anything?
05:21Yeah, I was trying because I knew that he's not going to give me anything
05:26because he's a kind of batter that doesn't think too much.
05:28But still I was asking him a bit regarding to the pitches and how he's going to perform.
05:37He was like, just go and enjoy.
05:39And that's the thing he's been doing in SRH as well.
05:42So I knew that he was going to answer me this,
05:44but still I wanted to hear from him.
05:46So, yeah.
05:48Avishik, obviously hard luck is today,
05:50but tomorrow the women's team has performed,
05:53I'm sure that you've also played a match.
05:56So, if you want to say something about their performance,
05:59and how are we playing in South Africa for the World Cup?
06:04Sir, we were following all the matches.
06:06I don't think that India has won a match in women's cricket.
06:10And I think the maturity and teamwork as a team,
06:16I think we're really proud of them.
06:19And we were just watching the match all together.
06:22We were watching all the matches,
06:24and we were doing so many runs.
06:27But as Jameema, Harman and Samriti,
06:31they all played,
06:33and cameos also played in front of us.
06:35So I think it wasn't the pressure on them.
06:38But obviously, as a team,
06:40Indian team,
06:41if you also see that women's team is doing so well,
06:43you get motivated, of course.
06:45Any message for the final coming up?
06:47Finals, I think they deserve the trophy
06:49the way they played semi-final game.
06:51I think they really deserve it,
06:52and they're going to do their well.
06:56Avishik, you said about the betting approach,
06:59I think it's a high risk, high reward method.
07:03Is it a usual method,
07:05or a high risk, high reward method?
07:07No sir, I think it wasn't usual,
07:09because for a long time,
07:11when I was at the top of my batting,
07:13even I was confused.
07:15But as I told you,
07:17I had a plan,
07:18how to approach my batting.
07:21And when I knew that,
07:23you know,
07:24the openers are so consistent in IPL,
07:28and obviously,
07:29I think that,
07:30as much as consistent,
07:31if you have a competition in your mind,
07:34you have to do something exceptional.
07:36So, I think that,
07:37I think that,
07:38I could work on my ability,
07:42and play shots.
07:43And I think that,
07:44I think that,
07:45I try to execute my shots with the field,
07:46and I try to execute my shots with the field.
07:49So,
07:50as I told you,
07:51that,
07:52when I go to the net,
07:53or when I go home,
07:54my focus is the same thing,
07:55that,
07:56I play a lot of balls in the field,
07:58and I play a lot of balls in the field.
08:00I play a lot of balls in the field.
08:02I play a lot of balls in the field.
08:04And,
08:05that is my only motive,
08:06that,
08:07that is not going to be out.
08:08So, that helped me.
08:10Thank you guys.
08:11Thank you guys.
