00:00Yes, sir.
00:38To play a country outside India and that to a country which has been used to the conditions here and
00:46also there is uncertainty. First there was uncertainty of the match and now there is uncertainty due to rain and
00:53all. How do you handle these pressures before an India-Pakistan match?
00:57See, I feel weather is something which is not in our control. In our control, the things are which we
01:03can control. That's like playing good cricket, having good practice sessions, all of that. And we knew that we have
01:11to come here and play a game and it's more like a subcontinent conditions. We have similar kind of wickets
01:15back home in India also. And we have played a lot of cricket here during bilaterals against Sri Lanka. So
01:22we are also very familiar with the conditions.
01:25Today in the PC of Pakistan cricket captain said that they want to have Babishik Sharma to play the game.
01:32So can you tell us like is there any update on him? How is he feeling?
01:35Okay, if he wants him to play, then we will play him tomorrow.
01:39Done.
02:09It's an occasion. It's an occasion. It's a big platform, obviously.
02:12So we, now let's just say it's just another game. We have to play cricket. Back of the mind, human
02:19tendency is that you know which game you are going to play.
02:23And we don't play them often as well. So we don't play them regularly.
02:27But at the end of the day, we try to keep things simple.
02:31We have to try to keep things that we have to try to keep things that we have to try
02:34to keep things that we have to try to execute in games and what is our best foot forward, we
02:39try to place it on the ground.
03:09Sir, Usman Tariq.
03:11We have to try to keep things that we have to try to keep things that we have to keep
03:14things that we have to do.
03:15And that's why we try to keep things that he is a different character when he comes to bowl.
03:21But at the same time, we don't do that to surrender to him.
03:25So we practice with similar type of bowler and similar actions.
03:28and we will try to execute what we are doing in net sessions.
03:34I don't know when you have seen us at night.
03:36We are very excited at night.
03:58Are you keeping your options open or is there actually a plan that you won't reveal?
04:05No, it's completely fine.
04:07There is no such like a big plan or something.
04:10But I want to be different on every given day.
04:14I don't want to go with a set plan when I am going with this wonderful bowling unit.
04:18I want to have my plans different on each different day, different games.
04:23And when you go on the ground, take a field in a game,
04:29what comes in your mind at that time?
04:31I think that is more important than thinking about what has worked before
04:34and what could go really well if I bowl Bumrah or any other bowler in the power play.
04:40If he has to bowl three overs, he might bowl three overs.
04:43If he has to bowl an over and then bowl three overs later on,
04:47if it works on a given day, we will use the bowlers like that.
04:53Last match, Pakistan played five spinners and only one pacer.
04:56And also there has been a lot of talk in the build-up about Pakistan's spin attack,
05:01which looks very good.
05:03Your thoughts on that?
05:04And secondly, can you give an update on Washington Sundar?
05:07Is he completely fit to play?
05:09Washington, obviously he's joined the team.
05:11He joined the team in Delhi.
05:12That means he's been cleared by COE.
05:15So he's ready and good to go.
05:18And sorry, what was your first question?
05:19About the spinners.
05:30I feel, yeah, I mean, they have been doing well, obviously,
05:33with their bowling line-up and with their combinations.
05:37But yeah, we do have definitely some plans to try and tackle them
05:42when we play them tomorrow.
05:44And we also have a similar kind of setup when we go and play.
05:51But I don't know.
05:52We've just now seen the wicket.
05:54Looks good.
05:54Looks very good.
05:56And we'll see what happens tomorrow.
05:59Surya, you came with a lot of collective batting form into this series
06:03after South Africa and after New Zealand.
06:06What do you make of how the batters have gone in the first two games?
06:08I know they're not pitchers that you might have expected,
06:11not a little bit out of character.
06:13But how do you assess India's batting in these first two games?
06:16I feel we had a little scratchy start, yes.
06:19You can't run away from the fact that it was not a proper T20 wicket.
06:24But I said in the post-match as well that you can't actually brush everything under the carpet.
06:29There's no excuse because everyone has played a lot of cricket.
06:33So batters, I think, should be brave in taking their own calls,
06:36have their own plans on batting on a difficult,
06:40or not a difficult wicket, but a tricky, tricky T20 wicket.
06:43But in the second game, we were really good.
06:45We came back very strong, had a good power play,
06:48but then still we had a little bit of lump in between.
06:51But then we covered it well.
06:52So that's the beauty of T20 cricket.
06:54One or two batters, I think, taking that responsibility,
06:57being brave, showing character, I think, makes us cross the line.
07:03Surya, normally in conditions,
07:05we say spinners and we talk about India versus Pakistan spinners.
07:08What role of fast bowlers?
07:10Because traditionally,
07:11we have under fred lights,
07:13Indian fast bowlers have a good ball.
07:15So as captain,
07:16how do you settle extra spinner or fast bowlers?
07:20How do you settle?
07:20It's very difficult to think,
07:23which fast bowlers can play,
07:25how many fast bowlers can play,
07:27how many spinners can play.
07:28Because as many fast bowlers in the squad,
07:30now you can see,
07:31Bumrah, Arshdeep and Siraj,
07:33three of them are good fast bowlers,
07:34and spinners are all good.
07:35So it's very difficult to pick.
07:37But the combination that we've worked on before,
07:40for example,
07:41we've played in the Asia Cup.
07:42There was a similar type of wicket,
07:44big ground,
07:44there was a similar type of wicket,
07:46but the wicket will be better there.
07:48So I feel similar type of combinations
07:50will play here.
07:51But it's a very difficult call.
07:53It's a good headache.
07:54And it's a very difficult call.
07:55It's a very difficult call.
07:57A fast bowlers can break
07:58or a good spinner can break
08:00and play an extra batsman.
08:03Skipper?
08:05The game is more important.
08:07But personally,
08:09the two teams are here,
08:10it's very good.
08:11But it's obvious that tomorrow
08:12there will be a shake hand.
08:14Will it happen?
08:15Will it happen?
08:15What will it happen?
08:16Now, wait for 24 hours.
08:18Why don't you put it on it?
08:20Why don't you put it on it?
08:21We have to play cricket,
08:22we have to play cricket,
08:23we will have to call them tomorrow.
08:25Wait for it.
08:26Eat it, eat it,
08:27eat it, eat it.
08:27Let's see tomorrow.
08:29Imaran Ahmed,
08:30Delhi Sachin from Pakistan.
08:32Your T20 record against Pakistan
08:35is very good.
08:37So this thing,
08:39will it happen tomorrow
08:41or will it increase pressure
08:42or will it win?
08:43No, sir.
08:45How do you keep playing
08:46a fresh game
08:47so you have to start from zero.
08:49Now, what have you done
08:50or what happened?
08:51There is no problem
08:52and history.
08:53It doesn't carry ground
08:54because there is a little complacency
08:56from here.
08:57You run out on the game.
08:59If you have to stay in control
09:00and you have to keep relaxed mind
09:02then you have to start fresh
09:03to always start fresh.
09:04And with me,
09:05this will be a better approach
09:07to our friend,
09:08that if we take a fresh game
09:11like this,
09:11a normal league game
09:12which we have to play
09:13in a T20 World Cup
09:14then you will keep in it
09:16and keep in it
09:17and keep in it
09:18and keep in it
09:20I think that India-Pakistan match has been a lot for spinners and spin has been the talking point.
09:29If we have seen the last match, Zimbabwe's two fast bowlers took 4 wickets in the first spell.
09:37So fast bowlers have been helpful for this wicket.
09:39So how much flexibility does it matter in terms of conditions?
09:45I know that you don't want to break a winning combination.
09:49But how to balance this flexibility versus maintaining and winning combination?
09:54I think flexibility is very important in this format.
09:57As I mentioned before the batting order, even at the same time, bowling is also very important.
10:02Because if you have a matchup in a game, if you want to play it, then you should play it.
10:10If you have a matchup in the next game, then you should play it.
10:15Because this is not a bilateral tournament or franchise cricket.
10:19You don't have time for comeback.
10:21Sometimes you don't have time for comeback.
10:23So you have to take that tough call on the day.
10:26If someone has done it, you have to understand it.
10:28And you have to understand it in our team.
10:31You have to understand it.
10:32Equally aligned to one goal.
10:34But yes, as you rightly said, it's a difficult call to take.
10:39As a good record against Pakistan.
10:41Yes, sir.
10:43Now you want to play it?
10:45Okay, let's play it.
10:48You said that Kuldeep will play it.
10:50Many people have a passion.
10:51Abhishek didn't play in the last match.
10:53They had a problem.
10:54So will all the passion be done?
10:55Abhishek and Sharma will play it.
10:57And the other thing, in the time of the Asia Cup,
10:59the atmosphere outside of the mountain,
11:01and in the World Cup,
11:02the atmosphere has changed in this 4-5 months.
11:05What do you think?
11:05Look, someone told me that Abhishek and Sharma will play well.
11:13So I told him that we will play it.
11:14That's what I told him.
11:15I told him that we will play it tomorrow.
11:16No problem.
11:17But the atmosphere starts from the dressing room,
11:20from the players, from the bus.
11:22What you see on the ground is a by-product.
11:26We spend time on the practice session.
11:29We spend time on the movie,
11:30and we spend time on the food.
11:32We spend good time on the atmosphere.
11:33But the atmosphere is very good.
11:35It's the same atmosphere.
11:38What's the atmosphere of the atmosphere?
11:39I don't know about the atmosphere of the atmosphere.
11:40What do you say about the atmosphere?
11:40I don't know about the atmosphere on the platform.
11:42You're talking about the atmosphere.
11:44But if I talk about the atmosphere,
11:46the atmosphere is very good for the team.
11:48Captain,
11:48if you have a pitch for Mumbai or Delhi,
11:51the pitch was on a tricky side.
11:52Here is the pitch.
11:54So, I mean,
11:55the way of India has a template under your captaincy.
11:57It's all gun blazing.
11:59Do you think adaptability will be a key in this match?
12:02Big boundaries,
12:04most likely four or five spin attack spinners?
12:07Absolutely.
12:08See,
12:08play any format.
12:09Play T20,
12:10play one day,
12:10play a test.
12:12I think adapting to the situations is a key
12:14for any batter or any bowler.
12:16So,
12:17I feel like
12:17yes,
12:18there are big boundaries.
12:20We will have to be a little smart
12:21in tackling the conditions.
12:23Before playing here,
12:25we know the conditions really well.
12:27Big ground is okay.
12:28But then,
12:28at the same time,
12:29we know what cricket we want to play.
12:32And first,
12:32we are playing two games.
12:33We have seen
12:34two different games
12:37in the last two games.
12:38So,
12:38we know
12:40which areas to
12:41tighten up and bat really well.
12:45Surya,
12:47you have broken the suspense on Abhishek.
12:50And on handshake,
12:51will you break the suspense?
12:52Because
12:52Captain Salman Ali Yaga said
12:54that it would have been great
12:55to go back to the
12:56old times.
12:58So,
12:58if you can break the suspense on that.
13:00Yesterday,
13:02we will break the suspense.
13:02Now,
13:02I have told them.
13:0324 hours,
13:04stop.
13:05Okay,
13:05we will play the game after the game.
13:07What is important?
13:08Tell us.
13:09The game is important.
13:10First,
13:11we will play the game after that.
13:13Toss.
13:14Toss.
13:14Toss.
13:15Toss.
13:15Now,
13:16stop.
13:1724 hours.
13:18Sir,
13:19good to see you in your recent form.
13:22Coming back.
13:23Aapka,
13:24your previous performance against Pakistan was not that good.
13:27So,
13:28what's your strategy to encounter the formidable base attack and the spin attack of Pakistan?
13:34That's not a new strategy,
13:35sir.
13:36It's good.
13:39Obviously,
13:40I want to make a run and we win the game.
13:42But at the same time,
13:43what has been working for me and also for the team,
13:46we just want to stick to it and continue that.
13:48Captain,
13:49as you said that
13:51now,
13:51you don't feel like this rivalry.
13:53To be really honest,
13:55I can say that
13:56we don't feel like that
13:57that depth is in India and Pakistan.
13:58That was the depth of childhood.
14:00That was the time of World Cup.
14:01What was the time of World Cup?
14:03Is it the time of World Cup?
14:03As it is,
14:04you look at this team,
14:05in the opposition,
14:06that it's not that thing.
14:08This is Pakistan,
14:08which was a rivalry factor.
14:11It's a history,
14:13there are other political tensions.
14:15That's why it's so much power.
14:16There's a lot of momentum in cricket teams.
14:18India is a lot of momentum.
14:19Pakistan is not there.
14:20Look,
14:20it's not that
14:21there are people playing good cricket.
14:23In Asia Cup,
14:24and here too,
14:25they are playing good cricket.
14:26But at the same time,
14:27we have to look at the time,
14:29we are playing good cricket.
14:29Last year,
14:30we are playing good cricket.
14:32And we will try to continue.
14:34Because,
14:35when you leave your strength
14:36and think about it,
14:39you will forget everything.
14:41So,
14:43at the end of the day,
14:44we are here to play some good cricket.
14:46We will play good cricket.
14:47And then,
14:48who will play good cricket,
14:49will be the result of it.
14:49I will turn that over.
14:51Sky,
14:51my question was slightly similar only.
14:54As a captain,
14:55as somebody who reads the game,
14:57and, you know,
14:57watches other players,
14:59other teams.
14:59What is your assessment
15:01of this current Pakistani team?
15:03Like,
15:03when you watch them,
15:04what is it that comes to your mind?
15:06See,
15:06that's what I said just now.
15:07Okay,
15:07I think they've,
15:08they've been playing some good cricket recently,
15:10what I saw in the last two games.
15:11I didn't see any series before that.
15:13But then,
15:14I've heard a lot,
15:15they're playing some good cricket.
15:17Also,
15:18playing here,
15:20they have a little bit of advantage.
15:22But then,
15:23that's okay.
15:23We've also played a lot of cricket here.
15:25And,
15:26we've come here in different conditions.
15:27We've played our cricket as well.
15:29So,
15:29we just want to stick to what we want to do.
15:31And,
15:31not focus about anything else.
15:34Suriya,
15:35in the past seven,
15:35eight matches,
15:36we've seen that
15:37our opening is a little bit lower.
15:40So,
15:40in that,
15:41you see,
15:42you're good.
15:43Kishan is playing good.
15:45The other,
15:45Pandia,
15:45all the support is good.
15:47But,
15:47in the opening,
15:47you are getting a little bit lower.
15:49So,
15:49will you adjust some other things?
15:52Or,
15:52you want to change something in the opening?
15:55Sir,
15:56this is a format,
15:57where you have a little high risk,
15:59high reward format.
16:01Because,
16:01if you have to achieve something,
16:03you have to take a lot of risk for the team.
16:05If you take a lot of risk for the team,
16:06if someone comes out on the top,
16:08there's no problem.
16:08So,
16:09how many people,
16:09one and the other,
16:11in the batting unit.
16:12We'll have to go.
16:13Mohisha from Pakistan.
16:15Hello.
16:16I just want to know,
16:17in such a blockbuster game,
16:20do you think,
16:21handling the pressure is more important,
16:23or playing brave cricket is more important?
16:24I think,
16:25I think it can be a mix of both sir.
16:28Yes,
16:28there will be pressure.
16:29As I rightly said,
16:30you can't run away from the fact,
16:31that there won't be any pressure.
16:33Yes,
16:33there will be pressure,
16:34there will be nerves,
16:35butterflies in the stomach,
16:36when we start the game tomorrow.
16:37But yeah,
16:38at the same time,
16:38there's no pressure,
16:40there's no nerves,
16:41there's no fun to play cricket.
16:43And yeah,
16:43it's a big occasion.
16:44Yes, definitely.
16:45But yeah,
16:46I mean,
16:47every time I say the same thing,
16:49at the end of the day,
16:50it's just another game.
16:50You have to back your skills,
16:52play some good cricket,
16:53focus on what you want to do better,
16:55and we'll see what happens.
16:58Hello, Surya.
16:59Hello.
17:00India has a very balanced court,
17:01with, you know,
17:02equal talent in the spin department,
17:04as well as the pace department.
17:05Now, Surya,
17:06what happens to be a bigger pain point,
17:08or a challenge for you,
17:09in terms of finalizing the 11?
17:11Because,
17:12it's very difficult to keep someone out here,
17:14to keep the conditions in consideration as well.
17:16So,
17:17how do you take that call along with,
17:19along with Gigi Bayern?
17:21I think it's a good headache to have,
17:22to have lovely spinners,
17:25fast bowlers,
17:25and so many batters,
17:26who can give you one or two overs also,
17:28on a given day.
17:30But then you have to respect the conditions,
17:31you have to see how the wicket is going to play.
17:34As I rightly said,
17:35we've played here before.
17:36So we know the conditions really well,
17:38ground is big.
17:39So what combinations we want to play,
17:41it's like,
17:42whatever works for you on that given day,
17:44just play it.
17:45And if,
17:45even if someone does well,
17:47and we go to the next destination,
17:49and we need someone else to come in,
17:50like a fast bowler,
17:51or another batter to come in,
17:52we might have to do that.
17:54Suriya Shakeel Khatak,
17:56from Public News.
17:57Suriya, you said,
17:58we don't play against Pakistan,
17:59so that's why,
18:00a big occasion becomes a big occasion.
18:02So, Suriya Kumar,
18:03what do you think about Pakistan,
18:04that there should be regular matches,
18:06because the fans,
18:07this is what they want,
18:07here, we're talking about Indians,
18:09or Pakistan.
18:10So, add another,
18:12that which player from Pakistan,
18:13is such a player,
18:14because it's usually like,
18:15that one player in T20,
18:16will give a match,
18:18so,
18:18which player from Pakistan,
18:19can you change the match?
18:23I think,
18:24T20 cricket,
18:25if you play 6-7 batters,
18:26then,
18:26if anyone plays 1-2 batters,
18:29then,
18:29they can turn the game,
18:31like that.
18:33if I get someone's name,
18:34and if he hasn't made a run,
18:35then,
18:36then,
18:36you can have a problem.
18:38But,
18:38when you play 6-7 batters,
18:40if anyone plays 2-3 batters,
18:42then,
18:42I think,
18:43it's more than enough.
18:43And,
18:44as you asked me before,
18:47we don't play regular matches here,
18:48they're not in my hand.
18:49When I live in that position,
18:51then,
18:51I'll tell you,
18:53that matches should happen,
18:54or not.
