00:02Coach, if you talk about the last two matches, how do you rate the performance of the batters, especially against
00:08spinners and other areas of improvement?
00:12I think what we decided was to adjust the situation and play a good aggressive cricket.
00:22But with that I think it was smart enough also to play the Eason inning and then Surya, Tilak and
00:33Sivam, more or less according to our plan.
00:38So it was very good.
00:41We can play three matches on this ground, so how important is the exam tomorrow?
00:46How important is it?
00:48Every match is important for us.
00:50But as you have told us, it is a 22 match.
00:54After the final, it is possible to be here.
00:57So it is good for players to be used in this condition.
01:04You are playing a non-pressure match and also like a preparation for Super 8.
01:11How do you plan to make any kind of experiments or something in this match or what are your areas
01:23to be strengthened?
01:24I don't think there will be experiments or anything.
01:28But yes, looking at the wicket and conditions, there might be something different.
01:37But I don't really think that we look that it is a game which is not important.
01:43Because I think every game is important.
01:44Your team wants to be in the same momentum.
01:48So for us, whether it is, I don't think we think as it is less pressure game or more pressure
01:54game.
01:54We played last game with the same intent.
01:56I think we will play the next game with the same intent as well.
02:00There is a prediction that in weather forecast, maybe it will be a rain or something.
02:04What do you think about that?
02:05Honestly, I have not checked the weather forecast.
02:08So I don't know.
02:10It is very difficult to comment.
02:12But one thing is there, if it rains also.
02:15The point table wise, I don't think it will affect us.
02:18All the best.
02:20Coach, what about medallings and your experience today?
02:26From start of this World Cup, I think we have seen that in T20 matches, any team can beat
02:33anybody.
02:34So that's why I said every game we approach as it is an important game.
02:39And they have some very good players as well.
02:41So we will just try and play good cricket.
02:44And that's all we will try and do.
02:49Question from here.
02:51Obviously bowling teams are trying to challenge Abhishek as much as they can.
02:57Have there been conversations on sort of how he can approach his tempo, any fine tuning
03:02required in trying to be one step ahead of the bowling sides?
03:06Obviously we plan, yes.
03:08But he wasn't well, so he didn't play last game, he got out in first over.
03:12So one thing we definitely do, we unnecessarily don't overanalyze, because sometimes you
03:19only start making a lot of assumptions than oppositions are.
03:23So he is someone who has got his plan sorted and he follows the way he wants to.
03:30And obviously we discuss about the oppositions, their bowling, their bowling strength, whatever
03:36they have been doing in the last few games they have played.
03:38All that is normal for everyone, not only for Abhishek.
03:59Ishan, obviously we all know how capable he is.
04:02He has always performed whenever he has played for India.
04:07And I think once he came back also, whatever I have spoken to him, he has always been a
04:12very confident player.
04:14Because I know him since, under 2019 he was with India team, but before that in 16-17 he
04:23was in IPL team where I worked.
04:25So he is always, I think that is his strength, his nature, he is not someone who cares too
04:32much about things.
04:33So T20 game needs that.
04:35And he is very talented because if you see his innings he will be, he will play everywhere
04:40in the ground.
04:41So he is someone who is very difficult to restrict if you don't get him out.
04:45So that is a great thing for the team.
04:47And I think he is in a positive mindset since he came.
04:51And obviously he speaks to all the support staff and captain and all.
04:55But I think he has been, since he came he looks very comfortable anyway.
05:01Sitanshi, you played in Delhi, then you went to Colombo to a completely different weather
05:05pattern as well.
05:06Now you have come here.
05:07A lot of travel.
05:08How are the boys holding up physically and mentally?
05:10I think everyone is in a good space.
05:13I think obviously it is a different venue.
05:15But no, it is really the way the team is getting together.
05:26The way the players, obviously we interact.
05:29But the players, the way they interact with each other.
05:32And it is quite positive signs I see.
05:35And it is some senior players' inputs.
05:38And it has been really good to be very honest.
05:41Not only since World Cup, but all the T20 team, which is not apart from one or two changes.
05:47They are more or less the same team what we have been playing for the last 10-15 games.
05:52And it is a great environment.
05:55It is a lot of learning for them.
05:57I think sometime I find it is a lot of learning for us as well.
06:01So it is great, yes.
06:03I think the question is Avishek Pari.
06:05Avishek, if we saw the last 5-6 games,
06:08then they have not yet come up to run.
06:10What have you concerns about?
06:12And what are the concerns about them?
06:15And what do you have done with them?
06:16And the other question is, Australia is outside the T20 World Cup.
06:19Now we were planning to play with them.
06:21We will play with them in China.
06:23Now we will play with them.
06:24So how do you keep updates?
06:27How do you re-strategize?
06:28How do you have done with the plan?
06:31I think now he has a disease, he has made the runs in the T20 format, sometimes in 10 balls
06:39and 30 runs are so important. So, it's not that he has runs.
06:46Honestly, we have all the players, all the players focus on.
07:08So, he is in a good form, he has got a clear plan, he has got a clear mindset and
07:13that is what matters for us.
07:15Another thing is that, when we were thinking about Australia, we also knew that this could happen.
07:22But, when we came to Zimbabwe, we thought that it might be Zimbabwe can also come.
07:29So, the rain off of today is not so much. But, after one match, we had this idea that,
07:36in front of Sri Lanka, it would be tough for Australia, the conditions in Sri Lanka.
07:41But, that is fine. I don't think that we have a difference between that.
07:45Either we play Australia or we play Zimbabwe or other two games we play.
07:49We have to win. So, we will just try and do what we can do the best to whoever we
07:57play.
07:58Gooch, in the last match, there was a weak point where the ball holds, a little grip.
08:04There are no better runs runs in there.
08:07Or, there are no confidence in it.
08:09So, do you think that, in such a moment, where you have a spin assist,
08:13you have more good batters, who play a good spin.
08:16So, in the coming time, do you see this?
08:18Do you agree that there was a weak link in the last match?
08:23Or, if you see past performances?
08:25No, I don't think so.
08:28Because, what we had planned,
08:31By the way, India and Pakistan have 175 highest score in the T20 World Cup.
08:40So, I think what we had thought, we had executed.
08:43All players have a precise role.
08:47But, I think Tilak played exactly the way the team wanted.
08:51We had planned for 10 over, after an early wicket.
08:56Everything, including Surya kining,
08:59And, what you have seen, is more or less what we have decided.
09:04And, sometimes it happens in matches.
09:07That, if there is one or two boundaries,
09:10Then, people don't think that.
09:12Now, every time, every time,
09:14You can't expect that.
09:15That, when you want, the boundaries will go.
09:18So, I think he played really well.
09:20We were more focused on that partnership.
09:22With the wicket,
09:23With the power score,
09:25With the 160 points.
09:26With the 160 points.
09:28With the 160 points.
09:28With the 160 points.
09:28With the 160 points.
09:30So, I think it was brilliant.
09:32It wasn't anything.
09:33We thought that he could have done something different.
09:37Hi, Coach.
09:38Will you play with the team,
09:39Will you play with the Spirer,
09:40Or, Jashwit Bhumra,
09:42Or, will you give it to me?
09:43I haven't seen it back.
09:45I haven't seen it back.
09:46Because, now,
09:48But, no.
09:49I think,
09:49The team will decide after the wicket,
09:51And, after the practice,
09:53And, after the rest,
09:56I don't think so.
09:58But,
09:58If,
09:58If,
09:59That will be tonight.
10:02Definitely not decided.
10:05Should I know,
10:06Muhammad Siraj played the first game.
10:08We will take 3 wickets.
10:10The not getting to play in the next 2 games.
10:12How itching is he to play tomorrow?
10:14Or,
10:14How itching is he or,
10:15How keen is he to play,
10:17In the future matches?
10:18I think,
10:20Joebic,
10:21All 4 who are not playing,
10:22They are all keen to play.
10:24Siraj played first game,
10:26But,
10:26Then,
10:28Last game,
10:28Evenabad,
10:29they missed out. So according to plan we may rotate a bowler here and there but I am
10:34sure that all of them are very keen to play. Siraj is obviously an experienced bowler and
10:39played so much cricket. But one thing is there that all 15 understands that for rest
10:44reason or for some other reason if they miss out, we are trying to put the best possible
10:4911 on the park and everyone is on the same page. So that's a great thing.
11:00So what are you planning on the scoring rate of death hovers?
11:04What are you planning on the scoring rate of death hovers?
11:06Which match are you talking about?
11:08Let's talk about the tournament.
11:09The entire team or the India team?
11:11India.
11:14No, I don't know. Death hovers. Last match was 9.6 on the wicket.
11:23No, last match was 9.6.
11:25It's like U.S. match when we hit the wicket quickly, there is a little bit less.
11:29But after that, I don't think that there is a lot of death hovers.
11:33Our against spin, power play, death, I don't think that there is no figure in front of us
11:39that we should have to think about this area. We will just try and repetitively keep coming
11:46strong and keep doing our best according to the conditions. I think that will be the best thing.
11:52How much team is winning, but how much of the team's batting performance overall
11:56are you so happy? And which department of Super 8 you want to make sure you have to make sure
12:02you have to make sure you have to make sure?
12:10I think as a team, we are playing players reacting to the situation that the team requires, for us that
12:18is the most important
12:19rather than batting, bowling or fielding. Touchwood so far, all the players are reacting well, reacting to plans,
12:26reacting to situations and reacting to the conditions we get. So that is positive and we will do that.
12:36Satham Chubh, you were just saying that it is a high risk, high reward sort of a game.
12:42And then since the last World Cup, the template has been to play very aggressive cricket.
12:47But in case if a batsman has a couple of failures or say 2-3 failures in going for the
12:52high risk, high reward,
12:53then is there any talk of trying to get your time in or the management just ask the batsman to
12:59play their natural game
13:00because the focus of the whole batting unit you were saying?
13:03I think playing aggressive cricket is important, but not because of a player's couple of failures will change.
13:11If anything, the plans will change according to situation. So no matter whether somebody has scored, runs for 2 innings
13:18or not,
13:19or somebody. But it's more what team needs at that time, in that conditions, like just made a mask in
13:28that Mumbai game,
13:29where Surya has to stay there for a while and he was 30-35 balls, more or less run a
13:34ball, and then last 2-3 hours.
13:37So that is playing to a situation now. So whether somebody scored runs or not is not important.
13:44What team requires at a time and a player try to execute that is more important.
13:50Coach, in the last match, Pakistan coach Mike Aysen said that he was planning a big time for Abhishek Sharma's
13:55wicket.
13:57Similarly, USA said that Abhishek was planning and kept a fielder deep.
14:01So when it happens that the opposition openly says that we are planning,
14:05then as a batting coach, how do you have conversations after Abhishek's two failures?
14:09And how do you motivate him?
14:12Please tell us a little bit about which way you are doing.
14:14Because the opposition is also focusing and sure that Abhishek is saying that he has to stop.
14:18So if he is a step further, then how do you talk about Abhishek?
14:23See, first, a lot of credit to Abhishek if people have planned and out about him,
14:30because I am sure he must be doing that well, that they are so concerned about Abhishek.
14:35But we plan, he also comes up with his ideas.
14:38And I don't genuinely think that in this game,
14:45I mean, the last game, like he was out,
14:48he has to be planning and out about him.
14:51But if he is out in mid-on, I don't think anyone can do that.
14:54If he is sitting up and out, he is out. That's okay.
14:58And if they are so concerned, that's a great sign for us,
15:01and it's a great credit to him the way he plays.
