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.
01:39Thank you very much.
02:09It's a location. 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 to 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.
02:26But at the end of the day, we try to keep things simple, that whatever we have done, whatever we
02:33have done, whatever we have done, that we try to execute in games and what is our best foot forward,
02:39that we try to place it on the ground.
03:09Sir, Usman Tariq.
03:11So you have to try to tackle it on the ground. You have to try to do it on the
03:13ground.
03:15And we try to do it on the ground, like, yes, he is a different character when he comes to
03:20bowl.
03:21But at the same time, we can't do it on the ground, that we surrender it on the ground.
03:25So we practice with similar type of bowler, similar actions.
03:29And we will try to execute it on the ground, which we practice in net sessions.
03:34And I don't know when you have seen us at night, because we are tired, but we are very excited
03:38at night.
03:43Surya, there has been a slight interesting trend in India's bowling strategy, especially in the power play in Asia Cup.
03:50Bumrah used to bowl three overs in the power play, now he bowls one minimum, just one exactly left.
03:55Is that just like you trying to test more bowlers, or keeping your options open, or is there actually a
04:02plan you have that you won't reveal?
04:05No, no, it's completely fine. There's no such, like, anything like a big plan or something.
04:10But I want to be different on every given day. I don't want to go with a set plan when
04:15I'm going with this wonderful bowling unit.
04:18I want to have my plans different on each different day, different games.
04:22And when you go on the ground, take a field in a game, what comes in your mind at that
04:30time?
04:30I think that is more important than thinking about what has worked before and what could go really well if
04:37I bowl Bumrah or any other bowler in the power play.
04:40If he has to bowl three overs, he might bowl three overs. If he has to bowl over and then
04:45bowl three overs later on,
04:47If it works on a given day, we'll use the bowlers like that.
04:51Surya, last match Pakistan played five spinners and only one pacer.
04:57And also there's been a lot of talk in the build-up about Pakistan's spin attack, which looks very good.
05:02Your thoughts on that? And secondly, can you give an update on Washington Sundar?
05:07Is he completely fit to play?
05:09Washington, obviously he's joined the team. He joined the team in Delhi.
05:12That means he's been cleared by COE. So he's ready and good to go.
05:18And sorry, what was your first question about the spinners?
05:30I feel, yeah, I mean they have been doing well obviously with their bowling line-up and with their combinations.
05:38But yeah, we do have definitely some plans to try and tackle them when 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. We've just now seen the wicket. It looks good. It looks very good.
05:56And we'll see what happens tomorrow.
05:59Surya, you came with a lot of collective batting form into this series after 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, not 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.
06:37Have their own plans on batting on a difficult, or not a difficult wicket, but a tricky T20 wicket.
06:43But in the second game we were really good. We 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. So that's the beauty of T20 cricket.
06:54One or two batters I think taking that responsibility, being brave, showing character I think makes us cross the line.
07:03So normally in conditions we say spinners and we talk about India vs Pakistan spinners.
07:08What role of fast bowlers? Because traditionally we have, under fred lights, Indian fast bowlers have a good ball.
07:15So as captain, how do you have extra spinner or fast bowlers?
07:19How do you settle?
07:20It's very difficult to think of which fast bowlers to play, how many fast bowlers to play, how many spinners
07:27to play.
07:28Because as many fast bowlers in the squad.
07:30Now you can see Bumrah, Arshdeep and Siraj, three of them are good fast bowlers and spinners are all good.
07:35So it's very difficult to pick.
07:37But the combination that we've worked for before.
07:40For example, when we were in Asia Cup, there was a similar type of wicket, big ground.
07:44This is also a big ground, but the wicket will get better from there.
07:47So I feel similar type of combinations here.
07:51But it's a very difficult call to, it's a good headache.
07:54And it's a very difficult call for a fast bowlers to break or a good spinner to break and play
08:00a good matchman extra.
08:02Skipper, the game is more important.
08:07But personally, the two teams looked good here.
08:11But it's obvious that tomorrow there will be a shake hand.
08:14Will it happen or will it happen?
08:15What will it happen?
08:16It's a very difficult time for 24 hours.
08:18Why do you put it on the ground?
08:21We will play cricket, we will play cricket.
08:23We will call after tomorrow.
08:25Wait, do it.
08:26Eat, eat, eat, eat, eat.
08:29Imaran Ahmed, Delhi Satchan from Pakistan.
08:31Sir.
08:32Your T20 record against Pakistan is very good.
08:37So this thing, the next match, will it happen or will it happen?
08:42Or will it happen or will it happen?
08:43No, sir.
08:44Sir, if you always play a fresh game, you have to start from zero to zero.
08:49Now you have to know what you've done or what happened, history.
08:52You can't carry on the ground.
08:54Because sometimes you get a little complacency.
08:57You get a little further from the game.
08:59If you have to stay in control and have a relaxed mind,
09:02you have to start from fresh.
09:03You have to start from zero to zero to zero.
09:04And, of course, this will be a better approach for us.
09:08When we play a fresh game,
09:11like a normal league game,
09:13which is a T20 World Cup game,
09:15then you have to stay in the present,
09:16you have to stay in the present,
09:17you have to stay in the present,
09:17you have to stay in the present,
09:17you have to stay in the present,
09:18you have to stay in the present,
09:20Sir, after a few days,
09:22I feel like India-Pakistan match.
09:23The spin has been the talking point.
09:28So this wicket match,
09:31if we saw the last match,
09:32in Zimbabwe,
09:33the two fast bowlers
09:34took 4 wickets in Australia's top order.
09:37So the fast bowlers help in this wicket.
09:39So the first question was asked.
09:42So how much flexibility matters
09:43that you have to go according to the conditions?
09:46I know that you don't want to break a winning combination,
09:49but how to balance this flexibility
09:51versus maintaining and winning combination?
09:54I think flexibility is very important in this format.
09:57As I mentioned before the batting order,
09:59even at the same time,
10:00bowling may be very important.
10:02Because in a game,
10:04if a bowler against a matchup is good,
10:07if you need to play it,
10:09then you need to play it.
10:10And if you are going to the next game,
10:12if you are going to the other bowler against a matchup,
10:14then you should play them.
10:15Because this is not a bilateral tournament,
10:18or franchise cricket,
10:19you don't have time for the comeback.
10:21Sometimes you don't have time for the comeback.
10:23So you have to take that tough call on the day.
10:26If someone has done it,
10:27then you have to understand it.
10:29And in our team,
10:30everyone understands.
10:31Everyone understands.
10:32Equally aligned with one goal.
10:34But yes,
10:35as you rightly said,
10:36it's a difficult call to take.
10:39As a good record against Pakistan.
10:41As a good record against Pakistan.
10:42Oh, sir.
10:43What do you want to play?
10:45Okay, let's play.
10:48You said that we will play Kuldeep.
10:50A lot of people have loved it.
10:51Abhishek didn't play in the last match.
10:53They had a problem.
10:54So will all of them end up?
10:55Abhishek will play Abhishek Sharma.
10:56And the other thing,
10:57in the time of Asia Cup,
10:59the atmosphere outside of the mountain,
11:01and in the World Cup,
11:02the atmosphere has changed.
11:03In this 4-5 months.
11:05Look,
11:06someone said,
11:09the captain said,
11:10Abhishek Sharma will play good.
11:13So I said,
11:13let's play.
11:14That's what I'm saying.
11:15Let's play.
11:15No problem.
11:17But the atmosphere starts from the dressing room.
11:19It starts from the players.
11:20It starts from the bus.
11:22It starts from the ground.
11:23What you see on the ground,
11:24it's a by-product.
11:26We spend time in practice.
11:28We spend time with movies,
11:30and eat food.
11:32It's a good time spent.
11:33But the atmosphere is very good.
11:35It's the same atmosphere.
11:37I don't know about the atmosphere outside of cricket.
11:39I don't know about it.
11:40What do you say?
11:40I'm not on the platform.
11:42You're talking about something.
11:44But if I talk about it,
11:46the atmosphere is very good.
11:48Captain,
11:48if you have a pitch on Mumbai or Delhi,
11:51the pitch was on a tricky side.
11:52Here is the pitch.
11:54So,
11:54I mean,
11:55India has a template under your captaincy.
11:57It's all gun blazing.
11:59Do you think adaptability will be a key in this match,
12:02in big boundaries,
12:03most likely four or five spin attack spinners?
12:06Yeah, absolutely.
12:07See,
12:08play any format,
12:09play T20,
12:10play one day,
12:10play a test.
12:11I 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.
12:23We know the conditions really well.
12:26It's a big ground.
12:27Okay.
12:28But then at 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,
13:02you will break the suspense.
13:02Now,
13:02I have told you,
13:0324 hours,
13:04you will play a game
13:05and then after the game.
13:07What is important?
13:08Tell us.
13:09The game is important.
13:10First,
13:11we will play a game
13:11after that.
13:13Toss.
13:14Toss.
13:14Toss.
13:15Toss.
13:15You will see,
13:1624 hours.
13:19Good to see you
13:20in your recent form.
13:22Coming back.
13:24Your previous performance
13:25against Pakistan
13:26was not that good.
13:27So,
13:28what's your strategy
13:29to encounter
13:31the formidable base attack
13:32and the spin attack
13:33of Pakistan?
13:34That's not a new strategy, sir.
13:36Everything is running
13:37as well.
13:38It's good.
13:39And obviously,
13:40I want to make a run
13:41and we win the game.
13:42But at the same time,
13:43what has been working
13:44for me
13:44and also for the team,
13:46we just want to stick to it
13:47and continue that.
13:48Captain,
13:49as you said
13:50that
13:51you don't feel
13:52this rivalry.
13:53To be really honest,
13:54now,
13:55I can say personally
13:56that we don't feel
13:57that India and Pakistan
13:58is that depth
13:59that looked at
14:00childhood.
14:02Do you feel
14:03as it is
14:04looking at this team
14:05in the opposition
14:06that
14:06that's not the thing
14:07in Pakistan
14:08that was a very
14:10rivalry factor.
14:11Now,
14:12there is history
14:12and the rest
14:14of the political
14:14tensions.
14:15There is a lot of
14:17pressure.
14:17India is a lot
14:18up.
14:19Pakistan is not there.
14:20Look,
14:20there are people
14:22playing good cricket
14:23at the Asia Cup
14:24and there are people
14:25playing good cricket.
14:26But at the same time,
14:27we have to see
14:28how we are playing cricket.
14:29Last year,
14:30we are playing good cricket
14:31and we will try
14:32to continue that.
14:34Because
14:35when you leave
14:36your strength
14:36and go to other
14:37games,
14:39you will forget
14:40everything.
14:41I have understood
14:42everyone.
14:43At the end
14:44of the day,
14:44we are here to play
14:45some good cricket.
14:47and we will play
14:48good cricket
14:48and the result
14:49will be on that side.
14:51Sky,
14:52my question was
14:52slightly similar only.
14:54As a captain,
14:55as somebody
14:56who reads the game
14:56and watches other
14:58players,
14:59other teams,
14:59what is your assessment
15:01of this current
15:02Pakistani team?
15:03When you watch them,
15:04what is it that
15:05comes to your mind?
15:06See,
15:06that's what I said
15:07just now.
15:07I think they've been
15:08playing some good cricket
15:09recently,
15:10what I saw in the last
15:11two games.
15:11I didn't see any
15:12series before that.
15:13But then I've heard
15:14a lot.
15:15They're playing some
15:15good cricket.
15:17Also,
15:18playing here,
15:20they have a little
15:21bit of advantage.
15:22But then that's okay.
15:23We've also played
15:24a lot of cricket here.
15:25And we've come here
15:26in different conditions.
15:27We played our cricket
15:28as well.
15:28So,
15:29we just want to stick to
15:30what we want to do
15:31and not focus
15:32about anything else.
15:34in the last seven-eight
15:35matches.
15:36We're seeing that
15:37their opening
15:38is a little bit
15:39less.
15:40So,
15:41in that case,
15:41you can see that
15:42you're playing well.
15:43Kishan is playing well.
15:45The rest of Pandya,
15:45all the support is good.
15:47But in the opening,
15:47they're playing well.
15:49So,
15:50we'll adjust some other
15:51things,
15:52or change something
15:52in the opening?
15:55Sir,
15:56this is a format
15:57where you have
15:59a little high-risk,
15:59high-reward format.
16:01Because if you have
16:01to achieve something,
16:03you have to take a lot
16:03of risk for the team.
16:05If you have to take a lot
16:06of risk for the team,
16:06then you have to take a lot
16:06If you have to take a lot
16:07of risk for the team,
16:07then there's no doubt.
16:08Now,
16:09so many people
16:09have to take care of
16:10one another
16:10in the batting unit.
16:14Mohisha from Pakistan.
16:15Hello.
16:16I just want to know
16:17that in such a blockbuster
16:19game,
16:20do you think handling
16:21the pressure is more important
16:23or playing brave cricket
16:24is more important?
16:25I think it can be
16:26a mix of both, sir.
16:28Yes,
16:28there will be pressure.
16:29As I rightly said,
16:30you can't run away
16:31from the fact that
16:31there won't be any pressure.
16:33Yes, there will be pressure,
16:34there will be nerves,
16:35butterflies in the stomach
16:36when we start the game
16:37tomorrow.
16:37But yeah,
16:38at the same time,
16:38there's no pressure,
16:40there's no nerves,
16:41there's no fun
16:41to 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
16:54to do better,
16:55and we'll see what happens.
16:58Hello, Surya.
16:59Hello.
17:00India has a very balanced
17:01card with,
17:02you know,
17:02equal talent in the spin
17:04department as well as the
17:04pace department.
17:05Now, Surya,
17:06what happens to be a bigger
17:07pain point or a challenge
17:09for you in terms of
17:10finalizing the 11?
17:12Because it's very difficult
17:13to keep someone out here
17:14to keep the conditions
17:15in consideration as well.
17:16So,
17:17how do you take that call
17:18along with,
17:19along with GG?
17:21I think it's a good headache
17:22to have,
17:23to have lovely spinners,
17:25fast bowlers,
17:25and so many batters
17:26who can give you one or two
17:27overs also,
17:28on a given day.
17:30But then,
17:30you have to respect the conditions,
17:31you have to see how the wicket
17:33is going to play.
17:34As I rightly said,
17:35we've played here before.
17:36So,
17:36we know the conditions really well,
17:38ground is big.
17:38So,
17:39what combinations we want to play,
17:41it's like,
17:42whatever works for you
17:43on that given day,
17:44just play it.
17:45And if,
17:46even if someone does well,
17:47and we go to the next destination,
17:49and we need someone else
17:50to come in,
17:50like a fast bowler,
17:51or another batter to come in,
17:52we might have to do that.
17:54Surya,
17:55Shakeel Khatak,
17:56from Public News.
17:57Surya,
17:57you said that we don't play
17:58against Pakistan,
17:59so that's why
18:00it's a big occasion.
18:01So,
18:02Surya Kumar,
18:03what do you think
18:03that there should be regular matches
18:05against Pakistan?
18:06Because the fans
18:07like this,
18:07maybe we're talking about
18:08Indians,
18:09or Pakistan.
18:10So,
18:11add to that,
18:12which player of Pakistan
18:13is such a player?
18:14Because it's usually
18:15that one player
18:16will give a match
18:17in T20.
18:18So,
18:18which player of Pakistan
18:20can change the match?
18:23I think,
18:24if you play 6-7 batters
18:26then if you play
18:27one or two batters,
18:28you can turn the game.
18:31So,
18:32if I take someone's name
18:33and he has not made a run
18:35yesterday,
18:35then,
18:36you can play.
18:38But,
18:38when you play 6-7 batters,
18:40if you play 2-3 batters,
18:42in this format,
18:42I think,
18:43it's more than enough.
18:44And,
18:44like you asked me
18:46first,
18:47if we don't play regular matches,
18:48they're not in my hand.
18:49When I live in that position,
18:51then,
18:51I'll tell you
18:53that those matches
18:54are going to play.
