00:00It feels like a dream, as I said yesterday after the game, that I was courageous enough to have this
00:09dream, saying that I want to win it for my country, I want to contribute in such a way that
00:13it becomes what it is now, so I am very happy and feeling very blessed.
00:20A long struggle, it was a huge struggle, many times we were in the team but was not there in
00:26the playing game and your people, I mean especially from Kerala, there were several criticism saying that no chance given
00:31for us and finally all this happened, so how are you seeing this dream?
00:35Yeah, seeing very, as I said it's, I am actually trained to look at situations in a positive manner from
00:43my childhood days, so I kind of genuinely feel that all the pain, all the setbacks have made me much
00:50stronger and that is the only reason why I could do what I did, so I kind of feel that
00:55all the pain and all the setbacks and all the disappointment in life and in career, if used in a
01:00positive manner can be a really great strength in your life,
01:04so I think that's what happened and I am very grateful.
01:06Any message for your message?
01:08Yeah, this is one of the biggest messages which I just gave, I think so, yeah, thank you.
01:14How is your family?
01:16Family is very happy man, I think we are a bit calm and relaxed and private kind of a family,
01:22so right after winning yesterday, I wanted to come back home and straight away came to where my parents are
01:30living, so both of them are very happy and
01:35very thankful to them actually, very thankful to my parents, my father and mother, they were someone who introduced cricket
01:42in my life, I think they are the reason why I started playing, they are the reason why I am
01:47who I am, so very grateful for both of them and also very grateful for the whole community all over
01:55the world, I think all the support, all the messages, all the prayers which I constantly keep getting,
02:00I think we all know how powerful prayers are and when genuine people pray for you, I think it can't
02:07go wasted, so I am very happy that I was able to.
02:11I think right after the New Zealand series, I was a bit negative, I think it's very okay to admit
02:19that if you are not, you are 100%, I think I kind of feel that I admit that I am
02:24not okay, so I had my circle very close, I had my wife travelling throughout the World Cup with me
02:31right from day one, I knew that I was not going to be a part of the World Cup team,
02:34so I asked her to be with me because I was not at my best self,
02:38so she really supported me, really backed me and really kept me in a really great frame of mind, that
02:46is very important, I think the frame of mind is definitely relatable with the people whom we are surrounded with,
02:53I think when my wife was with me, I am always a bit joyful, always a bit positive, always laughing,
02:59smiling, so she kept me happy and when I am happy and when I got the opportunity, I was doing
03:04what I could do, so very grateful for my parents, for my wife,
03:08my friends and all the supporters, thank you so much, thank you, thank you guys, thanks for waiting, thank you.
