00:00Yeah, it's been good, you know, yes obviously as we all know in the top 3 is getting the bulk of the runs.
00:07But yeah, as you said, there will be a situation where every time there will be a scoring,
00:12there will be a situation where wickets do fall.
00:15But yeah, that's what our preparation is there, you know.
00:17We've been doing that for the last one month since the camp started.
00:20And yeah, as batsmen, as a middle outer, we are ready for any situation that comes to us.
00:28And, you know, the good thing is that the last game a lot of us got batting as well.
00:33So, it's been good for us and the preparation as well.
00:36And I think even if wickets fall, I think we are well prepared to do the job.
00:41So, where are the next chances?
00:43How many chances were you?
00:48Sir, yeah, my role was pretty clear when they retained itself that I would be batting at number 4 or number 5.
00:57But that's also the combination of left and right hand combination.
01:02In the first match, Psy was out.
01:06So, Rutherford had gone in at number 4 instead of Psy.
01:10So, the combination of the combination is the same.
01:12But yes, in number 4, there is a lot of fun.
01:14There is a lot of batting at that time.
01:16And there is a lot of game time going forward in the tournament.
01:20So, how many times do you see each match different?
01:23Sorry?
01:24How many times do you see each match different?
01:29I think we are a very neutral.
01:30I think we are a very simple team with simple methods.
01:42And as far as the tournament is concerned, every team is strong.
01:46And the way we play our cricket matters the most.
01:48How we do it instead of what we are going to do.
01:51We are pretty set on what we have to do.
01:54And I think we will do well this game as well.
01:57So, we have two weeks away, coming back at home, how is it if you are adapting to being successful in different combinations, different combinations and still able to put out results that are pretty convincing?
02:22Yeah, if you look at it throughout the stint of GT from the first year, it's been a very balanced side to be honest and we focus on a lot of simple cricket to be honest and we're not looking to be extravagant or something.
02:38It's important that we play cricket the way it has to be played and the way the game goes.
02:44There's no set plan whatsoever because as the game unfolds, our plans keep changing and the good thing is that everybody in the team is aware of that.
02:55Even after back-to-back wins coming here, it's not that if we win, we're on a high and if we lose, we are down and out.
03:05It's pretty stable and neutral and the characters in the team are also as such where you understand what's important for the game of cricket and just continue doing it and the atmosphere is really good to be honest.
03:20Last two questions.
03:22You have an animated coach who is so excited and a very calm coach, so how does the team deal with it and how it affects or it works in favour or how it works?
03:35Firstly, not an animated coach, very intelligent coach to be honest, the way the game goes.
03:41I think everybody knows the way Ashish Naira is very compassionate about the players and that's why it seems like that from the outside.
03:49He cares a lot for people around him and yeah, if you talk about Shubhman, yes, he's been captain for the last two years and he's also adding so many things to his captaincy skills.
04:00And it's good to see the combination of both Ashish Naira and Shubhman Gill, they work very well, you know.
04:08It's like hand in glove, so it's good for the players around to see how things unfold in a game of cricket.
04:15And as the tournament progresses, as I've told in the couple of last questions that I've spoken, it's important that we maintain our sanity and just keep going ahead.
04:25Last question.
04:26Sharaab, you've got to speak late with the side show in the domestic circuit as well and you know he started the season very well.
04:33For whatever reason, he's not had a consistent run in the IJ but now it feels like he's got there where he played long.
04:40Can you just shed right into his integrity and what is he like at the regular season?
04:46He's always been a fantastic bowler, you know, just because he's not got many games under his belt doesn't mean that he's lesser than somebody else in the team.
04:57He's always been bowling this way and he's got the opportunity now, you know, over a period of time to show what he is and what skill he has in his kitty.
05:07And I think, yes, we've played a lot with him in Tamil Nadu and the way he's done for Tamil Nadu is exceptional and he's continuing the same form here.
05:16And as a teammate and as a state mate, I'm very happy for him the way he's doing and the balls coming out of his hand really well to be honest.
05:24Like, I haven't seen him bowl this brilliantly and with so much of control, like hardly any loose balls in this tournament.
05:32So, it's good to see him and very happy for him.
