00:00Until all of us, there is no match in one day, if I am not wrong, BC has also taken action

00:06against that venue, they also ban them, so you can do the same thing now.

00:10So if we play in India, one thing is that if we are making a turner, then we win in 2-3 days.

00:17So as you said, first of all, Batsman is going to play spinners, and Batsman is not going to play IPL.

00:26Because if you play IPL, then you have to play it in taste.

00:28Absolutely, and I don't have any problem with turners.

00:32I will ask you, what happens, because I am also a captain, I have done a lot of captains.

00:36So what happens, as a captain or team management, we think that if a spin will be a wicket,

00:43then it will be a big factor in the first day.

00:44This is not because toss will be a big factor.

00:46A very simple reason is that if you do a spin, then it will be a big factor in the first day.

00:50This is not because it will be a spin when we are sitting in the first day.

00:52So this is the reason that turners become turners.

00:54Obviously, no one doesn't want to become a rank turner,

00:57but sometimes when you talk to curators, they become a rank turner.

01:03But what happens is that because we are playing in international cricket in India,

01:10but in domestic cricket, why are we playing in the same rank turners?

01:14Because we have neutral curators.

01:16In the past, many years ago, BCCA has started to be a neutral curators.

01:19I think they have done so that we can get better in the swing conditions.

01:23But if we are going to go outside,

01:26but when we have the spin friendly victor, when we have the turners,

01:30we have probably reduced to play, so that our batters won't be able to play.

01:34And maybe now we have time to play again with the victor.

01:38And I think that if the match is finished in Ranji Trophy in two and a half days,

01:42then what happens, then what happens, then what happens.

01:43I mean, there is also an international cricket that is finished in two and a half days,

01:47until unless there is no match at one day.

01:51If I am not wrong, BCCAI also takes action against that venue.

01:54They also ban them.

01:56So you can do the same thing now.

01:57So I think that this change, BCCAI can take advantage of that,

02:00that the turners will provide in India.

02:04And what happens is that they can do more than the wickets.

02:07You can play with every kind of wickets.

02:09Like the two wickets were there,

02:11they didn't leave the toss on the top of the top.

02:14If we play good cricket, we can toss it.

02:18If we can control it, we can do it.

02:21The toss is not in our hands.

02:22Even the wickets is not in our hands.

02:24I can tell you that I am a big expert.

02:26The big experts are not able to see exactly what they can do.

02:29They will play like this.

02:30Sometimes they will play something else.

02:32So, yeah, yeah, I think domestic cricket,

02:34I think turners should play more in domestic cricket.

02:36So if you play in Indian cricket,

02:37you can play in international cricket.

02:39I don't think anything like that.

02:40I don't think we can play here.
