00:00Definitely it's a good preparation, you know, getting a match, playing cricket is always good.
00:04The more you play, the better you can get for sure.
00:08So definitely it's going to be a good experience.
00:10See, for me it's very simple.
00:12Whatever is, you know, in front of me, I'll give my best.
00:15That's how I played cricket and I keep it very simple.
00:19So whatever the opportunity I get, I try to make best out of it.
00:22One thing is for sure, the way Jammu and Kashmir has played throughout the season has been exceptional.
00:28They have done really well, but at the same time, you know, we want to focus on ourself.
00:33We'll plan out, you know, some things with the bowler.
00:36We'll just keep it normal and simple and try to give our best in the match.
00:41There were two matches.
00:43One we won, another one was dropped.
00:45So it's a series win.
00:47So what are your planning?
00:49There's no extra planning here.
00:51Whatever you play in Iran, everyone has performed already.
00:56So all the performance are here.
00:58Obviously it's a big platform to showcase your talent, but at the same time, you know,
01:02emphasize is very simple to play good cricket.
01:06So keep it simple and it's complicated.
01:08The plans have been set in place.
01:10Obviously we still have to talk.
01:12There is still time in the match.
01:13So the generalized planning has been done.
01:16The team has been practicing well.
01:17And for me, it's like keeping it simple.
01:20You know, the more cricket you play, you get a sense of how you want to play the game.
01:27So obviously we'll look at the wicket, how the wicket is playing and then we'll plan more according to it.
01:33See, for me, every game is an opportunity for me.
01:36I want to give my best and I keep it very simple, man.
01:40For me, what I do is focus on the control level.
01:43So I try to give my best every time I take on the field.
01:46And that has been the key for me over a period of time.
01:50Yes, there will be ups and downs.
01:52You know, when you have to have international career for 15, 20 years, you have to go through all these
01:58things.
01:59So it's that kind of mindset and it's very simple if you can, you know, keep it simple, have the
02:06right guidance in your mind, have the right people to guide you and just keep giving your best each and
02:12every time you take on the field.
02:14See, definitely, you know, whenever you come back and start playing domestic cricket once in a while, you know, it's
02:20always good to share that experience with everyone.
02:23Definitely, a lot of people, you know, as a youngster, they come, you want to share your experience, what you
02:29have gained over the period of time.
02:31And it's lovely to see, you know, I always want to learn from people around me.
02:37So I think that's a good way to have interaction with people and keep it simple, having lots of fun,
02:43you know, lots of enjoyment and keep it as a family.
02:46See, as of now, the wicket is still looking good.
02:48I think the pitch curator is saying he might water it.
02:52So once he water it, we'll see how he's going to play because if he water is more, he's going
02:57to do a little bit in the morning, but still looks like a decent wicket.
03:01Definitely loss hote hai hai because Ake was playing brilliantly, but, you know, as a player, you always want to
03:08represent your country.
03:10So it's a big congratulation for him to get selected in the Indian team.
03:14But at the same time, you know, the team will miss him, but they want to give their best for
03:18sure.
03:18When you have gone through so much in your life, you understand, you know, keeping it simple is the key.
03:25Obviously, you know, when you're playing for your country, you know, working hard is not optional.
03:31You have to work hard.
03:32You have to be mentally strong.
03:34And you've got to keep on learning and keep on improving.
03:37And that's the mindset you want to keep, especially, you know, when you are going through a long rehab, it's
03:42always frustrating.
03:43But keeping that in mind that, yes, I want to represent my country, I want to do good and, you
03:50know, keeping every day is obviously challenging, but at the same time, you know, if you are playing international cricket,
03:58you have to go through challenges.
03:59For all the youngsters out there and everyone who is playing cricket, I think, just give your best every time
04:05you take on the field.
04:07Try to be the best version of yourself and have the right guidance around you.
04:12I think that's the key for sure.
04:14Okay.
