00:00Hello? Hello?
00:01Sorry sir.
00:02Picture?
00:06Camera rolling?
00:07Sound rolling?
00:08Silence!
00:09Don't do so much work.
00:11Sorry sir.
00:14We are crashing onto the sets of the Sky Scanner campaign shoot with Sky.
00:17Let's show you what goes on behind the scenes.
00:23I have been closed and told him to do Sky Scanner.
00:26Well thank you Sky so much for letting us crash your sets.
00:30Does shooting ads, campaign ads like this come easy to you now?
00:33Not really. I mean playing cricket is much easier than shooting ads.
00:45The vanities.
00:48The sets.
00:50The rack of clothes.
00:51And the crew!
00:54This is where the magic begins even before the cameras start rolling.
00:59Do you think it's big?
01:00Yes.
01:01Hello or hello?
01:02We've come for a matter of view.
01:03Say hello.
01:04Hello.
01:04Hello.
01:07You're coming for the match.
01:09Good to go.
01:10Play it for you.
01:11We have two cameras.
01:12One specifically for you.
01:14Okay.
01:14Well I have some pictures to show you and I want you to react to them.
01:17Oh my god.
01:18Now I'm scared.
01:19Okay.
01:21Who is he?
01:22This is you from your past case.
01:24You know you've always been ahead of the trend.
01:25You had a goatee once.
01:27You have so many tattoos.
01:28In fact we have pictures of you where you even had coloured hair.
01:32So tell us.
01:33That's an AI.
01:34That's not me.
01:35That's not you.
01:36I think it's a completely changed person after I got married.
01:40We would want to know how you actually met her.
01:42And how has she turned you from this coloured hair boy to the man we see today?
01:46Oh my god.
01:47That's a very long story.
01:48How I met her.
01:49But it was a definite love at first sight.
01:52We met in college.
01:54She was actually passing by.
01:57I was sitting with my friends.
01:58And when I saw her, that was the first time we had an interaction.
02:02But it's a very long story.
02:04I wish Skyscanner had some storytelling competition.
02:08So I would definitely let everyone know.
02:10She fell for your friendly looks.
02:12No, no.
02:12She didn't fell for me.
02:13She definitely didn't fall for all this.
02:15All this blue hair and everything.
02:17But I definitely was very much keen in talking to her and having the conversation.
02:22That's amazing.
02:23Is there any other new trend that you are looking forward to?
02:26I think currently we won the T20 World Cup.
02:30So I had decided in 2024 that when we win, I'll make a tattoo.
02:35So that tattoo is definitely pending.
02:36So maybe two tattoos are getting on my arm of two trophies from 2024 and the current one.
02:42Oh wow.
02:43That'll be so good.
02:44Yeah.
02:44Now that we're doing throwback pictures.
02:47Well, this is the one I wanted to show.
02:48It looks the same.
02:49Yeah.
02:50You seem to have an era with your green.
02:53Yeah.
02:53It was just beginning of going from boy to man.
02:59Yeah.
03:00Speaking of going back in time, we also have an image of you with your father.
03:04And you know, you've credited a lot of your cricket journey to him.
03:08And he's the one who supported you throughout this.
03:10Tell us a little bit about your relationship with your father.
03:13I think he tried his best to push me to academics because he studied a lot.
03:21Well, very well educated.
03:23So he wanted me also to be an engineer.
03:25He tried his best to push me into studies.
03:30But then very in early times, he understood that his interest is completely in sports.
03:35Though I was not completely inclined to cricket before, but I enjoyed playing sports.
03:39So he used to make a lot of time, come early from office.
03:43Whenever he used to get good time during lunch time, he used to take me out to play a lot
03:48of cricket
03:48or any other sport which I used to like.
03:51And then later when he understood that he only enjoys sports,
03:55then I think studies took a backstage and then he did a lot of sacrifice.
04:01I mean, he says he didn't sacrifice because he felt it was his job to give his son whatever he
04:07wanted at that time.
04:08But then I know what sacrifices he made at that time.
04:12Another image I have to show you is this one.
04:16I think this is a very trending photo right now.
04:19Yes.
04:19Our social media team, they told me that people have gone back, dug deep.
04:26This was actually my friends, it's written also, friends petrol pump inauguration.
04:31Yeah.
04:31Yes.
04:32No one knows the real story behind it, but then definitely.
04:35Well tell us what's the real story behind it.
04:37It is the real story.
04:38Yeah.
04:39It is the real story, but yeah, it's I think a 14 year old or a 15 year old picture,
04:45which is very trendy right now, but yeah, so happy to see this boy.
04:52If there was a message that you would have to give to your younger self back then,
04:55the boy that you see here, what would you say to him?
04:58Oh my God.
04:59It's very difficult to tell him because he would have never listened to me.
05:07I would never give any message to him because at that day, that is you like everything you
05:11want to do, whatever you like, you wake up next morning, you like something else and
05:16you pick anything, whatever you like.
05:19So it's good to, I mean, enjoy that time because everyone has a stage where you get
05:26to learn something when you pass a certain stage in life.
05:30So I don't want to give any message to that boy or anyone right now, but be sure in what
05:36you want to do.
05:37I think that is very, very, very important in life.
05:40That's really good.
05:41You know, you've seen a lot of hardships.
05:42You've spoken of times when the sky wasn't as blue and like in real life in sports also,
05:49you do not always think.
05:50What keeps you driving at times like these?
05:53I feel the sky was always blue.
05:55It was just covered with a lot of clouds.
05:57So we couldn't see sky at that time.
06:00But then everyone, everyone has hardships in their life.
06:04They struggle a lot.
06:05But then if you, if you're true to yourself in what you want to do, what you want to achieve,
06:10then you definitely move in the right direction.
06:12You definitely need to have a lot of goals in your life.
06:16Not everyone gets to fulfill that, but at some stage, if you keep working hard, if you're
06:21true to yourself and you keep working towards it, you might definitely end up reaching that
06:25destination.
06:27What is it?
06:28What is it?
06:33What is it?
06:41What is it?
06:42What is it?
06:43What is it?
06:44You've been shooting for this hotline in Skye for Skye Scanner app and how was the experience
06:49for you?
06:49I think experience has been good.
06:52Sometimes little challenging as well.
06:53But yeah, as you see, there are a lot of people trying to travel with so much cricket
06:57happening around the world.
06:58And with Skye Scanner, I think it has made their job really easier.
07:02Booking their travel, booking flights, going places to places.
07:06So I think that's good fun.
07:07And how is it different from meeting fans in the stadium, in the cricket field?
07:12How is it interacting with them on the hotline?
07:14It feels like you're talking to them in person.
07:17Everyone is talking to you one on one.
07:19But all said and done, it has made, I mean, when you travel, it becomes a little bit of
07:25problem in planning.
07:26As you see, Skye Scanner has given them two hacks to travel.
07:30I think, which is prize alerts and also the mix and match.
07:33You've got everything on camera.
07:38How do you like to spend your time off?
07:41What do you do on your off days?
07:42Off days, there's a couch in my house.
07:45Just lie on that, sleep, eat, do everything, play with my dogs.
07:51I'm very lazy when I go back home.
07:53I like to sit on the couch, watch TV, watch anything that comes on TV, mostly comedy movies.
07:58But then spend a lot of time with family, wife, dogs, everyone at home.
08:03I really like to be at home, be relaxed, calm.
08:07And then when I go back to play any game or any competitive tournament,
08:11I'm very relaxed and I know that I'm very happy.
08:15So, you're back in the zone?
08:16Correct.
08:17You have to travel quite a lot for your games.
08:21So, which city would be your favourite that you have to go to?
08:24Do you get to travel a lot in the cities when you go for your matches?
08:27Or is it strictly cricket mode?
08:29If you're going for cricket, then it's a little restricted.
08:32We don't get to travel a lot.
08:34But definitely if I'm on holiday, then it's a completely different ball game.
08:38But on cricket tours, it's very, very restricted.
08:41Yes, you can go out to a few places.
08:44But at that time, focus is completely on cricket.
08:47There you don't get to spend a lot of time outside.
08:50You play your game and you come back to the hotel.
08:53Then you travel again.
08:54But when you're on holidays, I think that is the time when you explore a lot.
08:59And everything comes in picture.
09:01Should I stand like this?
09:04Chill!
09:04Sorry, sorry.
09:06I'll go.
09:06I'll see.
09:07I'll chill.
09:08I'll go.
09:09Is there a city that you have your heart set on that you would want to go back to again?
09:13India or anywhere out of the world?
09:15Anywhere out of the world.
09:16I think around the world, I really enjoyed playing cricket in New Zealand.
09:23Very beautiful city.
09:25Very green.
09:26Though I love playing in India.
09:28But other than India, definitely maybe.
09:30You find a lot of fans spread throughout the world right now.
09:33And what would be your message to them?
09:35I think, I know it is tough to travel and watch the game around the world.
09:44But then as I said in the beginning, Skyscanner has made everyone's life easier.
09:51To find cheap flights, best travel plans and everything.
09:57I think you can go on the app, find yourself, find everything, whatever you want.
10:01And then you can travel to any destinations to watch any game, whatever you feel like.
10:07But yes, it is a little difficult to travel in different parts of the world.
10:10But it gets easier with Skyscanner.
10:13With Skyscanner.
10:14You seem like a very chill and calm person on the set.
10:16Is there any moment from behind the scenes that of course people will not see because it won't wait to
10:21the final cut.
10:22But you will definitely carry back home.
10:24From the set?
10:25Yeah, from the shoot?
10:26From the shoot, I think obviously all the memories.
10:30When I am shooting with everyone.
10:32All the guys who are shooting, making my job easier.
10:36And also a lot of BTS.
10:39Where I have fumbled a lot of words.
10:42People laughing at the other end.
10:44So all these things are really good.
10:46Just fun, fun memories.
10:48I have something for you.
10:48I have something for you.
10:49I have something for you.
10:50I have something for you.
10:50Why are you!
10:53rzeczy.
10:55You're sitting here.
10:55That looks nice though.
10:58Hello, boy, boy.
10:59Where are you?
10:59And so let us two of them are all because of the game,
10:59I assume these ends.
10:59Yep.
10:59You
