Transcript

00:00So, 2 November of that night, this night was made by which you felt that women's team is now world champion.

00:08This is a dream. In the 70th chapter, Dianna Delji and Shanta Rangaswami started seeing many players.

00:14Many players came in the effort and effort to become world champion.

00:18But finally, God's plan, which is the team's every member, is the God's plan.

00:25Radha, you know, this set-up, if I say, if I say, debut in this set-up in 2021.

00:31South Africa has been debut for South Africa.

00:34And South Africa has become world champion. Radha, how is your coincidence for you?

00:42First, thank you so much. You all have loved me. The whole India has loved me.

00:49And as you said, Dianna Delji, Shanta Rangaswami,

00:58whatever ex-women, Joolandi, everyone else.

01:03At that time, there wasn't much fame, there wasn't much money.

01:06But also, playing this game, I think it's pure passion, pure love towards the game.

01:14I think because of them, whatever we're getting,

01:20all the ex-women cricketers,

01:22otherwise, no one didn't know, no one didn't support,

01:25what girls are playing, why they're playing.

01:27We're starting to start,

01:29all the girls have come to face this thing.

01:32Like, why are you playing?

01:34It's a game, it's a girl, it's a girl, it's a girl.

01:37You're playing, you're playing, you're playing, you're playing.

01:40But we've never been paying attention to that.

01:43We've had our hearts, heard our hearts,

01:46our families have supported us,

01:48that let's go, our children want to play,

01:51we'll back them all.

01:53Whatever the players are playing, whatever the players are playing,

01:56I think everyone is a good one.

01:58This cricket, this game,

02:00we'll be playing live for the game.

02:03Well, of course,

02:05this game is a team game,

02:06and we've all tried to play.

02:08This world cup is a bad thing,

02:10but after that, I think,

02:13there was a change in which we didn't give up.

02:16This is a chance, this is our time.

02:19I think,

02:20this is a team team,

02:21a party team,

02:22won't be up for us.

02:23The semi-final,

02:24the match we've all had a hope for a time.

02:28But I think,

02:29this team,

02:30that's the team that's not the hope for us,

02:31they wanted to be able to work on that ground.

02:34I think,

02:35at that time,

02:36that semi-final was happening,

02:38what's going on in your heart?

02:40When you finally win the match,

02:41that was a booster.

02:43Right.

02:44Actually,

02:46we,

02:47from the start,

02:48from the start,

02:49I had so much confidence and belief that we played together for so many years.

02:57We had so much fun and understood the game.

03:03And when we were beating, everyone was hurt.

03:08Literally, everyone was in pain.

03:11What happened?

03:13We couldn't register.

03:14Because we were playing so good cricket.

03:16We played a series in England.

03:18And then, we did good with Australia.

03:20I think everyone was very painful, literally.

03:24But, we live together, sir.

03:27After winning, to show the belief, it becomes very difficult.

03:32There are chances to go there.

03:35But, everyone has no hope.

03:38Everyone has no hand.

03:40Everyone knew that we can do something special.

03:42And we are in India, so we have to do something special.

03:45It was not special.

03:47It was a belief.

03:48And everyone knew that we could do something else.

03:51We will do something else.

03:53We will do something else.

03:54One more push.

03:55One more push.

03:56One more push.

03:57After winning, too.

03:58So, I think, when we landed in Mumbai,

04:00the atmosphere was different.

04:02The New Mumbai fans are so genuine.

04:05I can tell you.

04:06The New Mumbai fans are here today.

04:09The New Mumbai fans are here today.

04:11They support us so much.

04:12So, it's not matching.

04:13It's not matching.

04:14I don't think, as a women's cricketer,

04:15We support so much, genuinely all things for us, I think it is unmatchable.

04:21I don't think as a women cricketer, we will get much more love from there.

04:26We support so much.

04:28We were very lucky that there were matches,

04:32because we always played there, the Indian team did very well.

04:37So I think that was the impact on the other side.

04:41I think that's why God gave us this thing.

04:48Please open the camera, your face is cut.

04:52Perfect, now it's perfect.

04:55It was totally fine, because there was a moment when this women's cricket team

05:02saw that fans didn't come to the ground.

05:05Even in TV matches,

05:07there was a lot of times,

05:11there was a lot of women's cricket match.

05:13But this is the change.

05:16How do you see this change?

05:18How do you see this change?

05:19You have autographed with your autograph.

05:21You have to get your selfie with your selfie.

05:23You have to get your prime minister.

05:25You have to get your president.

05:27From the beginning of the year,

05:29that women's cricket team was adopted.

05:31But then everything was done.

05:33But in the past,

05:34the last four or five years,

05:36there was a lot of things done.

05:37How do you see these issues?

05:39I think that Jay Shah sir has helped me very much.

05:43The women's cricket team paid parity.

05:47I think it's a very big motivation for everyone because it becomes very important for some athletes.

05:55It becomes a bit of a financial push.

05:58So I think for everyone, we are very grateful for all the cricketers.

06:03And what did you ask?

06:06I don't want to talk to you.

06:07Fans.

06:08Fans, yes.

06:09I think it's all credit for the ex-women cricketers.

06:15All the people have played.

06:17They have been alive for cricket.

06:19Whatever they have played with passion.

06:20That's why I think BCCI took over.

06:22That's why all these things happened.

06:24Otherwise, it wouldn't be possible.

06:26If all the girls don't play together, I don't think that would happen.

06:32Those people also understand their emotions.

06:35They also saw their skills.

06:36They also saw their love for the game.

06:39So I think that's why we got all these things.

06:42And now we can see that it was a full-packed ground in the final.

06:48I can't tell you about that experience.

06:50When everyone was playing together.

06:52They were literally praying for us.

06:55It's like it's like, let's go.

06:58Please give it to me, Bhagavan.

07:02We are also doing this.

07:04Because in sports, what happens in sports?

07:06Some things are not in your control.

07:08Sometimes you are in action and sometimes you are not in action.

07:10So I think that's the way they were praying.

07:12Whenever they were getting off-time.

07:14I thought that I was in my mind.

07:16God, please.

07:17For all the fans.

07:18For all the guys who are watching.

07:20Please give us this cup.

07:23I think that's the full gratitude moment.

07:27In the present, I think it was very special.

07:31For all the people who are watching.

07:33That's the most important thing.

07:34I was waiting for you.

07:35I don't know.

07:36It was a very special project.

07:37And I didn't know.

07:38The final team was in the final.

07:39The final team was in high school.

07:41I would like to walk you.

07:43When you got to have the U.P.

07:45Sinical family, Mumbai,

07:47It was a struggle.

07:48I had seen a lot of struggle.

07:50a successful cricketer

07:51after becoming a successful cricketer

07:51family support

07:54and sacrifices

07:56also have a lot of sacrifices

07:56and Radha

07:57all these things

07:59we have reached here

08:01and become world champion

08:02today when family

08:04watching you

08:05world champion

08:05Rada

08:06your mother and father

08:08will come back

08:10I'm sure

08:11sir

08:13I have no struggle

08:15honestly

08:16I didn't understand

08:18what is the struggle

08:19I don't have any idea

08:21I just followed my heart

08:23and followed my passion

08:25whatever the struggle

08:26or whatever the struggle

08:28can be said

08:29struggle

08:29then it will be wrong

08:31but whatever the struggle

08:33like my mother and father

08:34and family

08:35and my back

08:36it's very pure

08:38that's why I think

08:39that God

08:40who is good

08:42will come to me

08:44and I'm getting

08:46this is not my home

08:47my whole family

08:49my friends

08:50and coaches

08:50who support them

08:53and I can say

08:56I can say that

09:00what do you say

09:03what do you say

09:03I mean

09:04it's from my heart

09:05my whole journey

09:06it's from my heart

09:07it's from my heart

09:07it's very nice

09:09it was good

09:10of course

09:12and I can say that

09:14but I can say that

09:15you need to support me

09:15especially if you have a girl playing cricket at home.

09:19Some years ago, this was the case.

09:22But I'm sure that now it won't be the case.

09:24When you have a girl playing cricket in a corner,

09:27they won't say that you are playing.

09:30You should have to be in school or in other classes.

09:34I think that you have found that it is a revolution.

09:37Do you think that?

09:39Absolutely, absolutely.

09:40Because I heard a lot from childhood

09:42that you have to be in your girl,

09:44keep your girl with your girl.

09:46That's why.

09:48I have to listen to my father a lot

09:50about what she is playing with a girl.

09:52What a future.

09:54I have to keep her in school.

09:57But my father has never given me that thing.

10:01So, for that, I'm sure he is off.

10:04But I was going anywhere.

10:06I requested everyone to request all of the families.

10:09I was working in my society.

10:11I was working in Mumbai.

10:13I was working in Mumbai.

10:15I was working in there too.

10:17I requested people to request all of the families.

10:20Please, children, play whenever,

10:22or whatever you want to do,

10:24please please give them a token.

10:26Do not support them completely.

10:28Whatever you want to do,

10:30whatever you want to do,

10:31whatever you want to do,

10:32just support them completely.

10:34If you are right or wrong,

10:35you will know more about them.

10:37But if you can see them,

10:38if they are in your heart,

10:40please don't forget them.

10:41Please back them.

10:42Of course.

10:43I think this is a loud and clear message

10:45to you all.

10:46Okay,

10:47we talk about the team combination.

10:48Because when the final happened,

10:50when the final happened,

10:52although the final happened before,

10:53unfortunately,

10:54the final or semi-final didn't play.

10:56But Shaifali,

10:57he was not in this team.

10:59He was sitting outside.

11:00And I think God's plan

11:01was a little bit more for them.

11:03The semi-final failed.

11:04But in the final,

11:06the final hit is 87 knock

11:07and the two wickets also take away.

11:09Plus, Deepti was 5 wickets.

11:10I mean,

11:11that day,

11:12everyone had a question.

11:13I mean,

11:14this is not the end.

11:15I mean,

11:16this is not the end.

11:19As you said,

11:20God's plan was not.

11:21It was very unfortunate

11:23when Pratika was injured.

11:25We were like this.

11:27But,

11:28we knew that

11:29whoever is in this team

11:30is Shaifali.

11:31So,

11:32what can we do

11:33for this team?

11:34We knew that.

11:35So,

11:36I think,

11:37we were like,

11:39let's go.

11:40Shaifali is coming.

11:41She knows how to,

11:42you know,

11:43handle these things.

11:44Because,

11:45she has already played

11:46the final.

11:47She has already played

11:48the final.

11:49She has already played

11:50the final.

11:51She has already played

11:52the idea.

11:53So,

11:54we are very happy.

11:55I mean,

11:56whoever we got to win,

11:58sir,

11:59whoever is in the first

12:00or the second performance

12:01or the third performance

12:03is the one.

12:04Let's go.

12:05Highlight is the one.

12:06But,

12:07whoever is outside,

12:08whoever is in the staff,

12:09whoever is in the back,

12:10whoever is in the planning,

12:12whoever is in the back,

12:13whoever is in the planning,

12:14they don't come to see.

12:15But,

12:16if we analyze that,

12:17people will know

12:18that.

12:19But,

12:20the fans,

12:21I would like to say,

12:22this is a team game.

12:23This is a team game.

12:24Let's go,

12:25it's an individual

12:26highlight.

12:27But,

12:28if everyone doesn't support,

12:29then,

12:30the result will not come.

12:31So,

12:32I think,

12:33that's what we did

12:34in this World Cup

12:35because,

12:36someone was giving water

12:37too.

12:38He said,

12:39let's go,

12:40let's go,

12:41let's go,

12:42let's go.

12:43Always.

12:44And,

12:45let's go,

12:46let's go,

12:47come on.

12:48That's what we have to push.

12:50That's what we have to do.

12:51That's what we have to do.

12:52That's what we have to do.
