Pant, who flourished under Dravid across formats, said one piece of advice from the Indian legend has stayed with him.
“I think the key is not thinking about it too much and not dwelling on it. There’s one really good line I learnt from Rahul (Dravid) bhai. He always told me one thing: ‘Rishabh, no matter what happens, try to be the same person when you score a hundred and when you score a zero,’” Pant said.
“I think, as an athlete, that’s the hardest thing to do — to remain who you are. Emotions sometimes get the better of you, but that line always stays with me. So personally, I try that. Whether I score zero or a hundred, I want to be the same guy. Maybe when I get out, it hurts more. I don’t enjoy scoring runs as much as I feel the pain of getting out,” the wicketkeeper-batter concluded.

01:29We won't win the ICC Trophy, and we won two in the last eight months.
01:33I was 100% sure, because there is no pressure, I would say that there was a pressure of expectation
01:40that there was no pressure on the outside, but on the side of India and on the side of
01:46our players, that we are winning a lot of times, you know, we wanted to win a World Cup,
01:53because World Cup is a different feeling, you know, it takes your team to a different
01:57level, that was the thought process of winning a World Cup, we are not thinking that defending
02:02champion will win a World Cup, it doesn't happen ever, it will happen, what is it?
02:06See, it should happen to us, when we go on to the field, in one's mind, we think that
02:12India should win, if there is a bilateral series, then it should win, if there is a World Cup
02:17then it will be our World Cup, so with that thought, we will enter every match, I want to
02:22know one thing, first of all, three people, it's full of pressure, bro,
02:27three, three people, for asking questions, we have said, one of our boss is a super
02:32leader, she said, no, Rishabh can't handle one person, two, three, because today we
02:37know that Durandar is the flavor of the season, if there is a Durandar in Indian cricket,
02:42then he is sitting with us, I think it's a question, I think, that I, Vikrant and Shweta,
02:50We will miss you when the World Cup is going.
02:52Our job is not to cover the match.
02:54But we will miss you.
02:56I don't want to know you.
02:58It is used in Lingo, FOMO.
03:00Everything is going on.
03:02As you are always in action.
03:04What are you doing in the World Cup?
03:06We will see matches.
03:08It feels like I was in the last World Cup.
03:10How will you enjoy this World Cup?
03:14See, now you will enjoy it.
03:16There is no choice.
03:18But, you know,
03:20I am in the recovery phase.
03:22I am recovering from injury.
03:24So I will think about it.
03:26When you get the time.
03:28Sometimes you are spending time with yourself.
03:30Especially when you are injured.
03:32There are two options.
03:34I will think about it.
03:36I will think about it.
03:38Or this or that.
03:40I take it in a positive way.
03:42This is what it is.
03:44Now I have to work hard.
03:46You are here.
03:48It doesn't matter where you are.
03:50You still have to work hard everyday.
03:52I will try to do that.
03:54When you are watching India's match.
03:56What are you doing?
03:58You are restless.
04:00Because when you are on the ground.
04:02You are always going to the captain.
04:04You are going to the boss.
04:06You are watching TV.
04:08So you are restless.
04:10You are watching a match.
04:12I think.
04:13Mostly.
04:14Whenever a cricketer.
04:16Is watching a match.
04:18To analyze a lot.
04:20You also analyze a lot.
04:22But.
04:24As an athlete.
04:26We do analyze a lot.
04:28I will try to see.
04:29You know.
04:30Then you feel like.
04:31Left out.
04:32In your mind.
04:33Stressed.
04:34This could happen.
04:35This could happen.
04:36This could happen.
04:37So.
04:38Don't stress that much.
04:40I try to stay away.
04:42If I am not playing.
04:44No.
04:45To analyze.
04:46You say.
04:47You do a lot.
04:48We do a lot.
04:49We do a lot.
04:50We do a lot.
04:51We do a lot.
04:52We do a lot.
04:53We do a lot.
04:54We do a lot.
04:55We do a lot.
04:56We do a lot.
04:57Because.
04:58First.
04:59Like.
05:00Now.
05:01You idolize.
05:02Who do not do it?
05:03I think.
05:04First time.
05:05Rishabh.
05:06I don't remember.
05:07In a marriage.
05:08You were sitting together.
05:10And.
05:11Because.
05:12You didn't know.
05:13We were talking about.
05:14But.
05:15Dhoni.
05:16The opportunities.
05:17After.
05:18In 2007.
05:19T20 World Cup.
05:20In which.
05:21We thought.
05:22We can win.
05:23In 2003.
05:24We were waiting.
05:25In 2011.
05:26On home ground.
05:27On home ground.
05:28Is there pressure.
05:29Or.
05:30Home ground.
05:31Now.
05:32You have to relish.
05:33In front of yourself.
05:34In front of yourself.
05:35In front of yourself.
05:36See.
05:37One thing.
05:38Is.
05:39That.
05:40I think.
05:41If.
05:42You are playing.
05:43On top level.
05:44In the same time.
05:45So.
05:46Pressure.
05:47Always.
05:48I think.
05:49That is very important.
05:50Not to think about that.
05:51All the time.
05:52But.
05:53Home ground.
05:54As a.
05:55Team.
05:56Definitely.
05:57We are more confident.
05:58That we will get.
05:59All the support.
06:00But.
06:01At the same time.
06:02You know.
06:03We do not take.
06:04Anything.
06:05For granted.
06:06have to, you know, give enough respect to the opposition, but advantage to
06:09the opposition.
06:10Rishabh, I think this is the same thing.
06:11The opposition seems to be afraid of it so much.
06:13Yes, it happens.
06:14But I think that, in 2023 World Cup, unfortunately, you were not in that team, because you were
06:19injured.
06:20And in 2023 World Cup, India played a tremendous cricket, but it was the final.
06:25You think that it was the final today, when you won two other ICC titles in this period,
06:30in 2024 World Cup, won the Champions Trophy.
06:33If it was the final today, that was Ahmedabad, that was Australia, that was India.
06:37India will not have that.
06:40See, one thing is, it will not have that.
06:46It will not have that.
06:47It will not have that.
06:48See, as a cricketer, what I feel is right, is right.
06:53They deserve all the respect.
06:55Whatever happened, we can't change that.
06:58So, we don't dwell on that in the past, that it was good or bad.
07:03We have to learn from it and move on to the next one.
07:07So, I see cricket at least from my side.
07:10So, I will not emphasize that much.
07:13But obviously, if I would be there, I would have made a difference.
07:17Oh!
07:18Oh!
07:19Oh!
07:20Oh!
07:21Oh!
07:22Oh!
07:23Oh!
07:24Oh!
07:25Oh!
07:26Oh!
07:27Oh!
07:28Oh!
07:29Oh!
07:30Oh!
07:31Oh!
07:32Oh!
07:33Oh!
07:34Oh!
07:35Oh!
07:36Oh!
07:37Oh!
07:38Oh!
07:39Oh!
07:40Oh!
07:41Oh!
07:42Oh!
07:43Oh!
07:44Oh!
07:45Oh!
07:46Oh!
07:47Oh!
07:48Oh!
07:49Oh!
07:50Oh!
07:51Oh!
07:52Oh!
07:53Oh!
07:54Oh!
07:55Oh!
07:56Oh!
07:57Oh!
07:58Oh!
07:59Oh!
08:00Oh!
08:02Oh!
08:03Oh!
08:04Oh!
08:05Oh!
08:08but i think at that time rohit ki awaz mein yeh dikh raha tha ki yaar mera itna bada player
08:21shayid cricket nahi khayel pahe ga aur ap cricket khayle yeh bhi toh apne aap mein bohut bade baat hai
08:26nahi sir definitely woh toh definitely bhoat achha time nahi tha for sure ki mein uske baare mein bhi you know when the time moves on you don't have to think about that too much but wo ek time tha jisne life mein ki we make lots of plan ki yaar yeh kareenge woh kareenge i also made lot of plan but you know god has his own planning and that happened but usne joo shikhaaya hai maybe
08:56god wanted to teach me something by hard lesson ki yaar you know as a youngster you always strive to you know become better and better so i took it you know as a lesson on my life that because mera perspective change ho ga life dekhne ga what i used to see life before my accident and after my accident is completely differently i still want to keep the you know character of me as an individual which i was before accident but
09:26at the same time you know there are heaps of changes which i have gone through in my life just by getting that experience which might not be the best way to get experience but you know i wanted to learn from it rather than you know saying ki yaar meresat hi aisa ki hota hai har bari kuch ho jata yeh ho jata hai ki positive way mein
09:48me and me reko laga ki wala ki wala ki wala ki wala ki wala ki yaar ek incident asa huwa ta ki my leg was on the right hand side
10:02me and me ko hath material is here in me and me
10:03me and me and me and my martie in the right hand i was here in front of of
10:17the bad hand side of the bad hand side of the ugly do you know it's all planned out there so but you know a crazy
10:22神 is here and i'm not sure what i'm missing skills like i'm so sleepy. Clubity came from this
10:23So that was the time when I thought,
10:25that man,
10:26there was a lot of pain in the truth.
10:29But, you know, it's all planned up there,
10:32so whatever best we can do from our side,
10:35I did that.
10:36I think it's also a big deal.
10:39No, no, because this is a big deal.
10:41They have said that they have taken it from positive.
10:43I mean, that was so great,
10:46that after that, what happens with them,
10:48it seems like it's a small, small thing.
10:49Because I remember England's test match.
10:52There was a pair of fractured there.
10:54So, the pair of fractured,
10:56we all go, put plaster,
10:57we go outside,
10:58it came out to batting.
10:59With the fractured pair,
11:01they had been batting.
11:02After batting,
11:04I remember that he played 20-25 games,
11:06he was playing on 36-37.
11:08Now, the shot was completed with a broken foot.
11:11They couldn't get out, they couldn't get out.
11:14But they had batting in that situation.
11:16Before I told you, I didn't put plaster.
11:18What happened at that time?
11:19What was the run?
11:20What was the coach talking about?
11:22Because you had a chance to put plaster,
11:24they missed the match,
11:25but you didn't know what happened.
11:25What was the coach talking about?
11:27See, mainly the first inning was very important.
11:31Because the series was polished,
11:33and we didn't want to leave any stone unturned.
11:37So, when it started,
11:39obviously, I didn't have anything in my mind.
11:42Besides the pain,
11:44when I went to the hospital and discussed the pain,
11:48and we were in a very crucial stage.
11:50In the first inning especially.
11:52See, in the second inning, we played amazing cricket.
11:55We came back into the game.
11:56So, we had come back as a team.
11:59But in the first inning,
12:00we were behind the game.
12:02So, the discussion was the same thing.
12:04What was the feeling?
12:06Okay, we discuss together that you know that it is a full fracture.
12:10I mean, there was a whole snap of my last finger.
12:15So, there was a big gap.
12:18So, I had to decide what was the worst scenario.
12:22So, the doctor said that the worst scenario is that we need to do surgery.
12:27And it might take you three to four weeks extra.
12:31This is the worst scenario.
12:32Could happen.
12:32And in my mind, it was like the worst scenario is that it is important to win or save the match for India.
12:42Because I am someone who doesn't think about the future too much now.
12:46You know, like I said,
12:47that I have my experiences.
12:49You have to do so much planning.
12:51I will do this in six months.
12:53I will do this in one year.
12:55I don't know what will happen in the next hour.
12:58So, in my mind, it doesn't matter.
13:01I have to be on the field, no matter what.
13:05Especially when the chips are down.
13:06If you match my head, you can still think something.
13:11But if India is below and we can do whatever we can.
13:15Keep body on the line,
13:17which we are talking about.
13:18So, it is also important to do that sometimes.
13:20So, there was a feeling in my mind.
13:23There was a discussion.
13:25The physio saying,
13:26what will you do?
13:27And slowly, slowly, slowly.
13:29I said,
13:30if I am able to walk a little bit,
13:35you can do whatever you can do.
13:37Listen to it.
13:38If you don't know about the pain killer injection.
13:40So, and doctors were very kind.
13:42They actually helped us.
13:44Indian doctors helped us in the hospital.
13:48They came to the ground.
13:49Udhar injection with pain killer.
13:52And soft take.
13:54I had to take the plaster first day.
13:58Then I had to take it out again.
14:00Because you can't play with the plaster.
14:02With the plaster, you can't wear our shoes.
14:04So, I had to wear our shoes.
14:05Take off again.
14:06It's painful again.
14:07Even though,
14:09Even if there is no option,
14:10so if there is still something that needs to have to go,
14:11then if there is no option,
14:11then if there is no opportunity.
14:12Some people have an option,
14:13and they have another finder.
14:14I had the country finder with their country.
14:16And I think,
14:17after your unfortunate accident,
14:20people should love you.
14:22People should be in love with you.
14:23Because everyone has seen that not only inspired you, but I think that everyone has a soft corner for Rishabh Manth.
14:32But I just want to understand that...
14:34But I just want to understand that...
14:35But I just want to understand that...
14:36The soft corner came, the England team didn't came.
14:38Ben Stokes was a little bit, I don't know the fractures on his legs.
14:41He was putting his hands on his legs.
14:42He was also putting his hands on his legs.
14:44He was putting his hands on his legs.
14:45I'm saying that when we are inside the ground,
14:49He was putting his hands on his legs.
14:53So they also want to win, we also want to win.
14:55But you thought that the fractures were left.
14:58I thought it was, but I can't say it.
15:01Actually, fitness is different from everyone.
15:05It's different from the wicket keepers.
15:06As many balls, there are many sit-ups in the whole match.
15:09And that's why people are more involved.
15:14So you don't think about it.
15:16I don't think about it.
15:18I don't think about it.
15:19But I think that in the present, there is so much pain.
15:22If you are taking the painkiller,
15:24If you are listening to the other body,
15:25If you are listening to the other body,
15:26You are listening to the other body.
15:27No, definitely.
15:28But you know, it was the best way in that time.
15:31Because after accident, the threshold of pain has increased.
15:36You know, when you have gone through so much,
15:38You feel that everything is small.
15:40Like I said, keep positive thinking.
15:43That you can come back or you can work hard from anything.
15:47And never dying attitude.
15:49These are all things, you know.
15:50You can't say it easy, but doing it everyday.
15:52That is where the discipline of life,
15:54And you know, love for the game, respect for the country,
15:58It all comes from all this.
16:00I will give you a ride.
16:02Suril Gavaskar Sahib,
16:03Suni Bhai.
16:11So you are very lucky, and then you said, what is happening with me?
16:16See, today I am sitting with you all, so I will say lucky.
16:21Wow.
16:23Can't complain.
16:26See, if you are not lucky, then you can sit here.
16:30So I am really grateful for each and everything.
16:33Obviously, you have to give all the tests in your life.
16:36You know, maybe in my life there was such a test.
16:39And in my life there are many tests in people's lives.
16:42So whatever you have to do, just keep believing.
16:45Because there was a time when everyone wrote me of that.
16:49Even doctors knew, is it possible to play or not?
16:54So one thing that I used to tell my mother,
16:58I said, I will decide my cricket.
17:01What is happening in my bed today?
17:04Some say good or bad, that is not in my control.
17:08As my brother always says, focus and control.
17:11Okay?
17:12So I did that on that given time.
17:15Because it's part of my process.
17:18That's how I see things.
17:20So I told my mother, you relax.
17:24I will tell you, I will play or not play.
17:28Let my hard work do the talking.
17:30That's fair.
17:31And rest.
17:32Sitting here with you.
17:33I think we will come to the World Cup.
17:36And the motive change.
17:39No, Rishabh has said the first line,
17:41that I don't want to say anything about those things.
17:44So we leave it back.
17:46And we live in the present two years ago.
17:49In 2014, we were playing Virat Goli.
17:52Rohit Sharma, Ravinder Jadija.
17:54It's not in today's team.
17:55It's not in today's team.
17:56How much change?
17:57What change?
17:58If it's less confidence in the fans' confidence,
18:00how will it happen without them?
18:01It will happen.
18:02Even Rishabh Bant?
18:03Even Rishabh Bant?
18:04Even Rishabh Bant.
18:05What is the most important thing about Rishabh Bant?
18:07Rishabh Bant has been 20 years old,
18:08there is no problem like that.
18:10See, one thing is transition when we call.
18:14Okay.
18:15In Indian cricket, everyone knows there is a transition going on.
18:18Slowly, you know.
18:19Super senior players, slowly, slowly.
18:22They are making way for the newer players.
18:24Slowly, slowly and transition will happen.
18:26Sooner or later.
18:28And it's more about how smooth we can make it happen.
18:31So one thing is T20, especially T20.
18:34Like, everyone wants to play with a different kind of freedom.
18:37You know.
18:38Which was never heard in Indian cricket now.
18:41The way we play now.
18:43Because the game is evolving.
18:45You know, with the game you have to evolve yourself.
18:47Eventually.
18:48That's the main thought process.
18:50That you don't want to be behind the game.
18:53Like even now, one day cricket is evolving.
18:55Like 250, 260, 300 was a safe score.
19:00I would say.
19:01Okay.
19:02But now even 300 is not a safe score.
19:04Cricket is evolving.
19:05So we need to evolve as a cricketer, as a human being with it.
19:09So slowly, slowly, I think this team obviously is playing crazy.
19:14Okay.
19:15They are playing with freedom.
19:17And I personally wish them all the luck.
19:21And obviously, poor India's support.
19:22Not only people who are living in India.
19:24See, Indian's one thing is best.
19:26Where you go, Indian's one.
19:27And support is always there.
19:32And support is always there.
19:33The fun thing is that we are talking about.
19:35We are talking about it.
19:37We are talking about it.
19:38Now, Rohit is going on a promo.
19:39We will repeat history.
19:41We will defeat history.
19:42We will defeat history.
19:43Because no team won't win T20 World Cup back-to-back now.
19:46And no team won't win T20 World Cup in their home.
19:49But we felt that the change in Indian Cricket has changed.
19:52Especially, I will say that I will say from the 2012 World Cup.
19:54Okay.
19:55That World Cup India won't win.
19:56After that, the T20 World Cup, the Champions Trophy.
19:59I think there is a different idea of Indian Cricket.
20:02Which you also have.
20:03Like, test cricket, T20, one day.
20:06How did this change come out, Rishabh?
20:11We feel like the game is evolving.
20:15Okay.
20:16So, as an individual, we knew that we need to get better as a team.
20:20And that thought process, which you said,
20:23The process was already going out,
20:25Actually, the process was in the 2012 World Cup when we played Australia.
20:29Which we were defeated.
20:31Which we were defeated.
20:32The process was going on before.
20:34I think, the process was already going on.
20:37We can't play the same way.
20:40We have to get a little power play,
20:43We have to get a little more power play.
20:45We have to excel in middle order.
20:47So, a plan was thought out before.
20:50And, Rohit Bhai has also taken that initiative.
20:53You know, personally.
20:55That, I am going on.
20:57There was a lot of Cricket discussions with Rohit Bhai.
21:00And I have to say this a long time ago.
21:03That we have to play in a different way.
21:06Otherwise, we can't say that,
21:08Eventually, we have to get a run under 170-180.
21:13Which kept our 10-20 run short.
21:16He said that we were in power play.
21:18I felt that we didn't have that advantage.
21:22And, that was in the mind.
21:24You know, we analyzed that we didn't play Indian cricket.
21:28So, there was a discussion with Rohit Bhai.
21:31And he wanted to change that.
21:33And that's the hardest thing.
21:35You know, Indian cricket, to change something.
21:37But then he said that, I will do it.
21:39If I do it, it will lead to somewhere.
21:43And obviously, the new generation was coming up.
21:46Shubhi and all were coming up.
21:48They were playing all the games.
21:51Now, because of IPL, you know.
21:54IPL's best advantage is in T20 cricket.
21:57We can see that.
21:58I think that is where we are...
22:00Now, it's because of IPL.
22:01It's because of IPL.
22:03Because of IPL, it's mostly the T20 team.
22:10And the visibility is more.
22:13So, when you play with the top players around the world, you get that confidence.
22:18I was also...
22:20I felt I was one of the product from IPL.
22:23Okay?
22:24Because when I played my first season, Pat Cummings is there.
22:28Rabada is there.
22:29Shami Bhai is there.
22:30Kulta Nail is there.
22:31And as an 18-year-old kid, if you are playing with them and smashing them, you feel that confidence.
22:37That if you can beat them, these are the premium fast bowlers in the international circuit.
22:43So, why can't I do it in domestic?
22:45Why can't I do it in international cricket?
22:47Why can't I do it in international cricket?
22:48That belief, you know.
22:50When you say, I'll play for India, I'll do well.
22:52There's one thing.
22:53But once you realize you can do that.
22:56For me, that was the turning point for me personally.
22:59Because you're talking about change in approach and aggression.
23:03That's my question.
23:05Two-part question.
23:06One is, which is the first question of world cricket?
23:11Because you're also an Akramak batter.
23:13And you don't need to play World Cup or India, or anywhere.
23:16Who's the most dangerous T20 batter?
23:20Who's the most dangerous T20 batter?
23:21Who's the most dangerous batter?
23:22Who's the most dangerous batter?
23:23Who's the most dangerous battering?
23:24Who's the most dangerous battering?
23:25And that's the question.
23:26You said you're 28 years old.
23:27And now you have a lot of future.
23:29Because when we were talking about cricket World Cup.
23:3129 years of Nicholas Puran.
23:33Which I believe is probably the most destructive batter.
23:35He's not playing World Cup.
23:37He's retired.
23:38So, I want to go with two thoughts.
23:39Who's the most destructive battering?
23:40And who's the most destructive battering?
23:41And who's the most destructive battering?
23:42Who's the most destructive battering?
23:43That's why he's playing World Cup.
23:44So, where are the T20 cricket going?
23:45Sir, this question is hard, but I think going on the current form, I think Abhishek, I would
24:00say, for sure, you know, the way he has been very consistent in the last two years, even
24:08in IPL, you can see that he has maintained that form for longer period.
24:12That means he has something, some processes which is going on for him, and he is believing
24:18in that and backing it up.
24:20Otherwise, every day you can't perform like this, that there is some thought process,
24:29there is some vision from his own mind, which I feel we can all see, because Ran is all
24:36behind him, I think sometimes that is missing a lot of time, but definitely he is doing
24:42something which is working for him.
24:44And I think Rishabh Panth and Abhishek, I will believe both of them, because Abhishek
24:50is out of the day, I think, what is the shot?
24:52Why is it?
24:53And this thing is also happening with Rishabh.
24:55When they are feeling, you say, it's a great deal.
24:57When they are not feeling, then what is it needed to play today?
25:00But I think you both have a mindset, Abhishek and Rishabh Panth, is there not a fear of failure?
25:06How do you deal with that?
25:13I think not thinking about that too much, don't dwell in that.
25:17You know, there is one very good line, which Rahul Bhai actually, from him I have learned
25:23that he always told me one thing, that Rishabh, try to be the same person when you score a hundred
25:30and when you score a zero.
25:32And I think as an athlete, that's the hardest thing to do, you know, being all the way the
25:38way you are, because emotions sometimes get best out of you.
25:42But at the same time, that's what I always remember, so I personally try to be 0 or 100.
25:51I want to be the same guy.
25:52Maybe when I get out, I get more pain.
25:56I don't enjoy when I score that much, but when I get out, I get more pain.
26:01I get more pain.
26:02Okay.
26:03Now I'm going to go.
26:05This is Rahul Dravid's story.
26:07I remember that when there was a press conference, when the IPL started, Rahul Dravid was leading
26:11to that press conference, and he said, I don't know why it's necessary to anyone like me,
26:17like me.
26:18Now, I understand that there is a need for every kind of temperament in 2020.
26:22But let me tell you that there is a different temperament of captains.
26:25What is our captain's plus point, Surya Kumar Yadav?
26:31I think Surya Bhai's energy, I would say.
26:37You know, he said few years ago, I want to be the leader.
26:44And he always, you know, tries to do that.
26:48He doesn't want to just be a captain.
26:52When you want to become a leader, you have to do more.
26:58You know, have that connection one-on-one thing, have that love, care, like, and he is someone
27:05who is always being touched somehow.
27:07Like, he is someone who can call you anytime.
27:10He calls out of nowhere.
27:11And that's a good thing, you know.
27:12As a player, we need to connect more with each other, off the field also.
27:17Because, all of us are out, and we will do this for this.
27:20We don't do this for this.
27:21So, he is someone who does this.
27:22If we do this, we will take the phone.
27:23My wife says, we are learning something.
27:24This is also.
27:25No, but, Rishabh.
27:26No, but, Rishabh.
27:27No, but, Rishabh.
27:28No, but, Rishabh.
27:29No, but, Rishabh.
27:30No, but, Rishabh.
27:31No, but, Rishabh.
27:32No, but, Rishabh.
27:33No, but, Rishabh.
27:34No, but, Rishabh.
27:35No, but, Rishabh.
27:36No, but, Rishabh.
27:37No, but, Rishabh.
27:38No, but, Rishabh.
27:39If you look at the Indian team.
27:42Because, I ask you to ask for this bowling attack.
27:46They say that you have to match, batsmen.
27:49You have to match the tournament.
27:50You have to match the bowler.
27:51So, I ask you to ask for this bowling.
27:54How do you see this?
27:55Okay, we look at T20.
27:56We look at T20.
27:57We look at Chalky and Chalky.
27:58We look at Shake.
27:59I also want to know about bowling.
28:01What is bowling?
28:02In conditions.
28:03In conditions.
28:04Where the O's also falls.
28:05Is this a bowling baller?
28:06Is this a bowling baller?
28:07Is this a bowling baller?
28:08Definitely.
28:09See, definitely.
28:10Because we have all the variety.
28:14I feel, one of our team is a fast bowler.
28:19He always, I feel people don't talk about him that much.
28:24And he doesn't get enough credit.
28:27That is Arsh Deeps Singh.
28:29Very good.
28:30And he is performing well.
28:31Whenever he gets a chance.
28:32Mostly, he does good.
28:33Regularly, he doesn't get enough time.
28:34Because team combination, you want to try other things.
28:35But, I think all credit to him.
28:36And, you know, as a bowler or as a player, you want to see one thing in your bowler is, is he brave from the heart?
28:43I think Arsh Deep is someone.
28:44He puts his heart out.
28:46He puts his heart out.
28:47He puts his heart out.
28:49I will do it for the team.
28:51Day in, day out.
28:53IPL, India, one day.
28:54Where he gets a chance.
28:55That guy is amazing.
28:57That guy is amazing.
28:59That's why he puts his heart out.
29:02That's why I will do it for the team.
29:04Day in, day out.
29:06IPL, India, one day.
29:09Where he gets a chance.
29:11That guy is amazing.
29:14That's why he is the highest wicket-taker in India.
29:17In T20 cricket.
29:18But, they are giving credit to the bowlers.
29:20But, bowlers also know and perform.
29:23But, bowlers also need help.
29:24They also need help from their wicket-keepers.
29:27Because, many times, you do something, but you don't get the wicket.
29:30Like in the last final.
29:32They do a lot.
29:33They didn't get the wicket.
29:34They were taking the match.
29:35Then, Rishabh Pant.
29:37And, they helped the bowlers.
29:39They will tell you how it helped.
29:41Until they had an injury.
29:44Then, what happened?
29:46Tell us about the story.
29:47So, the match ended up.
29:48The final match ended up.
29:50Those people were sitting there.
29:52They played their minds.
29:54Tell us, please.
29:55There is an interesting story, actually.
29:57First time.
29:59The match, obviously,
30:01was watching the whole of India.
30:02The whole of the world.
30:04So, behind the wicket,
30:06you know, you are analyzing that
30:08the match is coming out.
30:10You know,
30:11the situation was coming out.
30:13I would say, definitely,
30:16all of the Indians' prayers are, right?
30:19Where did they come from?
30:21They went out.
30:22They went out.
30:23They went out.
30:24They went out.
30:25They went out.
30:26They went out.
30:27They went out.
30:28They went out.
30:29I didn't watch it.
30:30I didn't watch it.
30:31I didn't watch it.
30:32It's a realistic thing.
30:33Okay?
30:34I was thinking about it in the last two or three.
30:36Now,
30:37I was thinking about it.
30:39Because,
30:40the match was coming out.
30:42They were just coming out.
30:43Okay?
30:44Now,
30:45I was thinking about it.
30:46How can he do it?
30:47You know,
30:48mind works like that.
30:49Keeper said,
30:51how do they contribute?
30:52What do they think?
30:53How do they try to do it?
30:55I said, I'm going to slow the game and dry the game.
30:59Now I'm thinking about the World Cup match.
31:01You know, the final.
31:03Now I'm going to do something like this.
31:05You know, it seems like a derby.
31:07International cricket, like you said,
31:08there's stress in everything.
31:11Okay, every decision you make,
31:13you need to make sure that
31:14you have the best interest for the team.
31:17And you trust what you're doing is right.
31:20Two things are very important.
31:21Because if it's gone,
31:23you know,
31:24it's going to be a world against you.
31:28So then I was going to go to my mind with 2-3 hours.
31:31Then I came to a point like that
31:33I said,
31:34if the World Cup won't win,
31:36then I don't regret it.
31:38I said, you haven't tried it on your side.
31:40So I said,
31:41I'll see you in the next hour.
31:42So sit down.
31:44So then I called the physio.
31:47I said, what happened?
31:48I said, time low.
31:49I said,
31:49time low.
31:51Okay,
31:55Yogi,
31:55I said,
31:57I said,
31:57I said,
31:57I said,
31:57I'm going to go to my team.
31:57I said,
31:57I'm going to go to my team.
31:58So you understand them.
31:59I know they know.
32:00I said,
32:00I'm going to go to my team.
32:01I said,
32:01I'm going to go to my team.
32:03And Rohit Bhai,
32:04I mean,
32:05I don't know this in the team.
32:06I'm going to go to my own mind.
32:08Because you're trying to do whatever best you can from your side.
32:12And God was kind enough.
32:39It worked.
32:40Okay.
32:41Next over,
32:42HP Gadda.
32:43Slower ball outside of Tom.
32:45Class in Nevada.
32:46And catch.
32:47Cute in my hand.
32:49So I felt like from inside,
32:52you know,
32:53you want to contribute because I got out early.
32:56So when I'm out in any match,
32:59I think I'll contribute something.
33:02If I'm standing on the field.
33:04So we try to add something.
33:08And God was kind enough
33:10that I'm able to do something.
33:12You don't have something like Trump.
33:12You don't say this.
33:15You don't just do them.
33:15Because of your own names.
33:18Because of your own names.
33:18Because of your own names.
33:19And after that,
33:20when you're in the front of your team,
33:21sometimes you tell the opposition team
33:22that you've set your field.
33:27This is a demon.
33:28The cricket is good.
33:30The cricket is good.
33:30But even play.
33:31That's what I thought.
33:32This is a good game.
33:33I think best
34:03I think because occasion was much bigger
34:12World Cup Final
34:13So you can decide yourself
34:16But you saw that match
34:21Because it was before the tournament
34:23No, I saw it
34:26But I didn't know how to do it
34:28You know
34:29Normal game is running
34:31It's part and parcel of the game
34:33So you need to do it
34:36But it was so many years ago
34:38ICC title came
34:39And it was fun
34:40In India
34:41Midnight
34:42World Cup at midnight
34:43So it was time to do it
34:45It was about half an hour
34:45And the match was finished
34:46And so many emotional scenes
34:50There was a lot of emotional scenes
34:50There was a lot of
34:51Dressing room
34:52After that
34:53There was a dinner of the team
34:55At that hotel
34:56Tell me
34:57Because no one is crying
34:59I mean
34:59In 2011 World Cup
35:01The first time we watched this scene
35:03I was watching this scene
35:05I was watching this scene
35:06I was watching this scene
35:07So when I was having a accident
35:08So we were in touch
35:10So I was watching this scene
35:12Normally
35:12So I said to them
35:14One thing I said to them
35:15When I was fine
35:17I will do what I am going to do.
35:19I will give you an ICC trophy.
35:21I will give you what I am going to say.
35:23After that, I also said this in the hospital.
35:25I said, brother,
35:27whatever happened,
35:29you will give me an ICC trophy.
35:31If I am playing, then you will win.
35:33I will give you something.
35:35I will give you something.
35:37I was going to give you something.
35:39I didn't tell you what I am going to do.
35:41But definitely,
35:43I was going to give you something.
35:45I thought it was kind that back to back
35:47two wins in a span of eight months.
35:49Like you said, it was definitely amazing.
35:51I forgot about your question.
35:53What did you say?
35:55He was celebrating
35:57the story of that time.
35:59I remember.
36:01I am playing international cricket for the past seven years.
36:05There was an amazing feeling in the team.
36:09We talk about that feeling in the team.
36:13that everyone wanted to contribute in their own way.
36:17I think from top to bottom,
36:21I would say everyone contributed in some of the other way.
36:27Like when I say top to bottom,
36:29it starts from even Jayabhai.
36:31He was leading it from the front.
36:33from the front.
36:35I think he was like,
36:37you guys,
36:39whatever you want,
36:41you win the trophy.
36:43And that's the kind of support he gave
36:45to the whole team.
36:47Then bottom, I would say Raghu,
36:49throw down guys,
36:51all the support staff,
36:53Rahul,
36:55fielding coach,
36:57everyone,
36:59and all the players for sure.
37:01You know,
37:03you can feel that it was one team.
37:05So,
37:07I think that's the kind of feeling
37:09you want to live each and every day.
37:11That everyone is together
37:13from top to bottom.
37:15And everyone contributed
37:17in some of the other way.
37:19Because many things are seen,
37:21many things are not seen.
37:23Because most of the time,
37:25Cricket,
37:27everything is happening behind the scenes.
37:29I don't see things.
37:31But,
37:32what experience was that.
37:34And after that,
37:35the hurricane came.
37:36The team fell in the hotel.
37:38But, Vikran,
37:39I think that one thing
37:40we all want to know,
37:42is that the last World Cup
37:44against Pakistan,
37:46the match against Pakistan.
37:48In which we did not play
37:50innings,
37:51I don't know,
37:52what is the result?
37:53We won't win.
37:54But,
37:55the way you played that match,
37:58remember that.
38:00Because,
38:01we always say that
38:02the pressure is different.
38:03You don't want to take it,
38:04people give you that pressure.
38:06What is that?
38:07I think that was
38:09one of the most important
38:10knock, personally.
38:12Because, you know,
38:13India-Pakistan,
38:14you know,
38:15it's always a big match,
38:17for sure.
38:18If you want to take it yourself,
38:20it gets so hyped up,
38:22that you feel that.
38:23And,
38:24it gets inside.
38:25And, it's good for cricket,
38:26eventually.
38:27But,
38:28this was the result,
38:29obviously,
38:30the wicket was falling
38:31in front,
38:32but,
38:33one thing was sure,
38:34we knew that,
38:35this wicket is a little tricky
38:37because,
38:38it was a new wicket.
38:39So,
38:40it will not become 180-90.
38:42Now,
38:43because,
38:44there was a lot of help in the wicket.
38:45Especially,
38:46in the first inning,
38:47actually,
38:48the help was more.
38:49So,
38:50there was a lot of
38:51runs,
38:52there was a lot of
38:53runs,
38:54like I said,
38:55on given time,
38:56I tried to do it.
38:58And,
38:59like,
39:00actually,
39:01one of my best
39:02innings,
39:03I would say,
39:04runs,
39:05but,
39:06for the World Cup
39:07and the scenario,
39:08it was a big cause,
39:09I guess.
39:10And,
39:11there was a lot of
39:12virtues on Pakistan,
39:13there was a lot of time,
39:14there was a lot of time,
39:15there was a lot of time,
39:16if they played.
39:17I think that,
39:18in this present squad,
39:19because,
39:20Rishabh's relationship is different,
39:22with your teammates,
39:24I take the name of teammates,
39:28you can describe them one word,
39:30one word,
39:31two words,
39:33we will try it.
39:36Suri Kumar Yadav,
39:39I think Sky,
39:40Ishan Kishan.
39:44I think Cute.
39:46Cute.
39:48Cute.

41:51And Rishab Pant.
41:52How do you describe yourself in the world?
41:54Humble servant of India.
41:56Humble servant of India.
41:57Humble servant of India.
42:10Sometimes the wicket keepers get really good, but you don't get top order batters, one of the worst performance came out of the wicket keepers.
42:19Today, if I am a team, there are 6 batters in one team. At that time, there are 6 wicket keepers in India, which I can make a team.
42:276 means proper batter wicket keepers, which you need to make a team.
42:33I want to know that you have a wicket keeping club.
42:36I think the wicket keepers are not thinking about all these things.
42:46Because everyone has a good rapport. Personally, they are good with each other.
43:05They are not thinking about that this is my competition or that is my competition.
43:11Everyone has their own thought process. At least I am the one who is not thinking all these things for sure.
43:17Because I believe, you know, you got to improve yourself each and every day. You only compete with yourself in your own world.
43:25The rest obviously, result ho ga, process ho ga, that's part of a different thing.
43:29You are doing your part from the best of your ability. And we always discuss together.
43:35I feel whenever anyone feels like discussing something, we are open with each other enough and we trust each other.
43:43If we don't do all the things that are related to cricket and make sense for the team and individually.
43:51So definitely it helps that you are keeping in test match.
43:55If you are keeping so much time, you get a lot of pointers. Because in the longer format, I think you have to hold your skill for longer period of time.
44:05So there is more testing.
44:07So there is more testing.
44:09But it is such a good camaraderie between all of us.
44:13Okay, about the wicketkeeper.
44:15When you were in that dressing room, like a teenager, in 19-20 years,
44:19in his age of 19-20 years, in his age of MS,
44:21such a great personality,
44:23then what was the beginning of your position?
44:27What was your position?
44:29How did it change in your age of 20-20 years?
44:39I feel, obviously, my brother doesn't feel like that.
44:43You say, I am Mahindra Singh.
44:46I think that is one of the best traits, I feel.
44:50And I am someone who connects people on human level.
44:54I try not to think that this is this and this is that.
44:58So, if our human values align,
45:01I feel that is where my connection happens.
45:04And he was someone who, obviously,
45:08was the pressure at that time when I came to the team.
45:12Because,
45:14Mahi Bhai, like I said, is the transition.
45:17Now, it can be a transition as a keeper.
45:19Especially a guy like Mahi Bhai.
45:23So, I would say a lot of things about him.
45:26In a funny way,
45:27Mahi Bhai, you have to be a legend for me.
45:30I have said,
45:31I have said,
45:32I have to deal with the pressure in our hearts.
45:34Is there anything?
45:35I have said.
45:36But, you know,
45:37he has been amazing as a mentor,
45:40as a brother,
45:41senior.
45:42I mean,
45:43everything.
45:44My brother,
45:45my brother,
45:46my brother,
45:47that's the connection.
45:48But,
45:49he was forthcoming enough,
45:50that he gives that,
45:51that there is a new child.
45:52And when he was retiring,
45:54I have to tell you,
45:55I missed him so much,
45:57because I used to spend 80% of my time with him.
46:00When he was in the team,
46:02I missed him so much.
46:04But,
46:05it was amazing,
46:06learning from him.
46:07See,
46:08because,
46:09I feel,
46:10you know,
46:11course of action,
46:12that is something which will eventually happen.
46:14You don't have to make it happen.
46:15Sometimes,
46:16you know,
46:17you don't have to make it happen.
46:19Sometimes,
46:20you know,
46:21you don't have to make it happen.
46:23Sometimes,
46:24you know,
46:25you don't have to make it happen.
46:26Sometimes,
46:27you know,
46:28kuch cheezo ko respect do.
46:29Because,
46:30if someone is there for so long,
46:32if you don't have that respect from inner side,
46:35then there is no point.
46:37Eventually,
46:38you've,
46:39instead of your play,
46:40someone else will play.
46:42Aaj nahi toh,
46:43des saal ke baad,
46:44bish saal ke baad,
46:45kabhi na kabhi toh,
46:46cricket will obviously move on.
46:48It's more about,
46:49ki jab tak bhi jo time hai,
46:50vaha par jo apna contribute kar sakte ho team win me,
46:54ya apna impact la sakte ho.
46:56That's the best thing you can do as an athlete.
46:59Do you have to take a phone?
47:00Eh?
47:01Do you have to take a phone and take a phone?
47:03Yeah,
47:04I don't do it.
47:05Okay.
47:06I'll give you a message.
47:07I'll stay away from the phone,
47:08man.
47:09So,
47:10I'll teach him from this trait.
47:11You know?
47:12That's how you said.
47:13I'll stay away from the phone.
47:14I think that is one thing.
47:15You know,
47:16there's one thing,
47:17very honestly,
47:18that,
47:19I want to be in present.
47:21If I'm sitting here with you guys,
47:23I don't want to be thinking anything else.
47:25I'm only present here.
47:27And that's how I want to live my life.
47:29It's a very good thing.
47:30It's a very good thing.
47:31In the world cup,
47:32in the concluding part,
47:33in the present world cup,
47:35when you have a small team and a big team,
47:38there's a classification.
47:40But,
47:41in the first match,
47:42we're playing from USA.
47:43I wouldn't say that it's easy and difficult.
47:44But,
47:45generalize,
47:46you know about cricket.
47:47You know,
47:48mostly test-filling nations.
47:49Okay.
47:50So,
47:51their cricket and skill level is different.
47:52For sure.
47:53Because,
47:54they play so much cricket.
47:55And,
47:56it's very intense.
47:57So,
47:58you know,
47:59that,
48:00we will win the probability.
48:01But,
48:02still,
48:03you know,
48:04you have to have enough gratitude for the game.
48:05And,
48:06respect for the game.
48:07That,
48:08you play the same way you play.
48:09So,
48:10it's the most dangerous team.
48:11Which team is the most dangerous team?
48:13Which team is the most dangerous team?
48:15Which team can be the most challenging for the game?
48:17That,
48:18you play the same way you play.
48:20So,
48:21it's the most dangerous team?
48:22Which teams do India think it can be a challenge?
48:25I think,
48:26T20 cricket is always really special.
48:30That,
48:31never anyone can play you.
48:33I think,
48:34that is one trait with T20 cricket.
48:37Which one day can be outstanding,
48:40one inning can take a match away.
48:42But,
48:43So in the longer format, it's difficult that only one inning you can go to a match.
48:48There is a lot of contribution.
48:50But T20, you can have that impact.
48:52So in T20, I wouldn't say one team.
48:55Obviously, two teams are Australia, South Africa.
48:59Okay.
49:00These two teams, I feel, surely can hamper Indian, you know, things.
49:07But at the same time, we are good enough to deal with any team in this world.
49:11So we'll play, if we play our best cricket, we are definitely going to win.
49:15Now the question comes, you told me about the three teams.
49:19One Australia, South Africa, one fourth.
49:22So we'll think that Rishabh Pankh will be four semi-finalists.
49:26See, fourth team, I think, Asian only.
49:30I feel because Indian condition definitely helps.
49:34So for me, Afghanistan is built.
49:37Because I feel, I think Afghanistan is doing something.
49:40What do you think?
49:41Sir, Afghanistan cricket, I feel the cricket has gone to a next level.
49:46Especially in subcontinent level.
49:48I think Afghanistan is one team which has actually got better and better over the years for sure.
49:54Yes, for sure.
49:55Rishabh Pankh Pankh Pankh Pankh Pankh Pankh Pankh Pankh Pankh Pankh.
50:00What do you think?
50:01We are our team.
50:03We are our team.
50:04We are our team.
50:05We are our team.
50:06We are the team.
50:07I think we are our team, we are our team.
50:09I don't know, I don't know this story, I don't remember this story or not.
50:14So they played in a test match in 97 or 98 runs, maybe in India was a match.
50:19So we were talking, we were in the panel, they said, 4-5 catches, they said I had a message.
50:24They were watching the match on which TV they were watching, because the catch didn't even shoot.
50:30But amazing turnaround.
50:33Rishabh is an example of human and life,
50:37but here we are looking for the cricketers,
50:40two-two ICC titles, India has won.
50:42I hope that the 8th March...
50:45How many percent of India will be the champion again?
50:4990 percent.
50:5010 percent.
50:52The rest of the team will play, right?
50:54We won't give it.
50:55The rest of the team will give it.
50:57The rest of the team will give it 10 percent, right?
51:02Thank you very much, Rishabh.
51:04Get well soonest, and you will never miss anything.
51:07You will never miss anything.
51:09Sir, you will never miss anything in the studio.
51:14Thank you, thank you guys.
51:14Thank you very much, Rishabh.
51:16And just the next session started.
