00:00Obviously, we have 11 or 12 people to win, so there is a disappointment.
00:10And as much as we perform, if the team won't win, there is no value.
00:18For me, the team won't win, but it's a learning and we'll go forward.
00:27And I hope, you know, we'll perform like this and we'll win.
00:34Well, we played, but we won't finish.
00:37So, that's a disappointment.
00:39But again, we'll learn from this match and improve the next match.
00:57What was the chance to do with the team?
01:07Obviously, we played a set batsman than a new batsman.
01:15so my or someone to stay there, batsmen was very important
01:19so we had wickets in regular intervals
01:23so our last game was a bit difficult
01:26but having said that, they also had a good bowling
01:29and we put pressure on the wicket
01:32so this is all but again
01:36again, we can learn from this
01:40so we will be prepared for the next match
01:44so we will be ready
01:46Hi Karim
01:48Back in Akira, you had to wait 4 games for your debut
01:55tell us about the circumstances
01:59it is indicating that you walking out as the backs of the ring
02:04during that whole administration
02:06do you have to know what you have to do here?
02:09Look, obviously we lost an important player in FAF
02:13and we always knew
02:15there are a few of us who are sitting outside
02:18who are batsmen who should be and have to be ready at any given time
02:22so mentally I was ready and obviously looking forward to the chance
02:26whenever it came
02:27so I am really happy that I got the opportunity
02:30it is about me now going out there and capitalising on that opportunity
02:34How much did the ball change affect the position of safety?
02:42the change of ball to a big bowl
02:44what do you feel about it?
02:46well I am not sure because as long as I was batting it was the same ball
02:50so I am really not sure if it did change or not
02:53it is just about
02:54they obviously bowled well as well
02:56and you know
02:57we were not able to stitch partnerships
02:59which is important in T20
03:01but that happens because we are all looking to score runs quickly
03:05and like I said before
03:07it is a learning
03:08and we have to take this forward in the next games
03:10and keep up the winning momentum that we have
03:13how do you think that the impact player has impacted the role of the impact player now?
03:30obviously if you see
03:32the role of the impact player has impacted the whole game through the IPL
03:36you can see the number of runs that are being scored
03:39and there is a lot of freedom for the batsmen to go out there and play the shots
03:44so
03:45it helps teams to you know
03:47go out and express themselves
03:50just a couple of questions
03:52you were obviously in late form before the IPL
03:55but also not in the first go games
03:57what were the conversations with the management
03:59and that sort of problematic form
04:01how much does it help in your mindset coming into this IPL
04:04but you felt different compared to previous IPL?
04:07I felt confident
04:09I felt like
04:10you know I am well prepared to
04:12play in the IPL if given the opportunity
04:14so it was all about me
04:15preparing the way that I have been
04:17all through the season
04:18and waiting for my chance
04:20so
04:21I was doing my bit
04:23to prepare and be ready for the game
04:25and then
04:26you know
04:27it is always a tough call
04:28for the team management to pick
04:2911 or 12 players
04:30so
04:31I have always respected that
04:33and
04:34for me it is about
04:36preparing and
04:37keeping the same process that I have followed
04:39which has you know
04:40worked for me
04:41and just being ready
04:42to go out there and perform for the team
04:44so
04:45obviously
04:46after 3 years
04:47you are playing the IPL
04:48how much have you thought about
04:50battling
04:51IPL
04:52in IPL
04:53in IPL
04:54in IPL
04:55in IPL
04:56but
04:57looking at you
04:58how you battled
04:59it was conventional battled
05:00in the power play
05:01still you were all sort of
05:02failing
05:03maybe at a higher
05:04rate that
05:05most of the power leaders
05:06how much have you thought about IPL
05:08in IPL
05:09or
05:10to
05:11say that
05:12why
05:13it takes me from this
05:15quite honestly
05:16you know
05:17I have had the confidence that I have played before
05:18and I know how it is going to be
05:20and it is nothing different
05:21that I have
05:22you know
05:23I am not going to be facing anything new
05:24so
05:25but
05:26in my mind
05:27it was just about
05:28going out there
05:29and
05:30giving myself few balls
05:31and just getting used to
05:32the speed of the game
05:33and you know
05:34the atmosphere
05:35so
05:36I just told myself
05:37give yourself time
05:38to the final shots
05:39and then
05:40you know
05:41improvise when needed
05:42and
05:43you know
05:44fortunately
05:45everything came off
05:46and
05:47I am happy that I batted well
05:48but again
05:49like I said
05:50I would have loved that
05:51if the team had gone through
05:52and won the game
05:53just thank you for what
05:55he is asking
05:56you were just talking so that
05:58hard goal
05:59for Jasmin Pura
06:00you know
06:01playing
06:02it is not many factors
06:03very dominated
06:04Jasmin Pura
06:05you know
06:06on the floor
06:07you didn't mind
06:08your instinctive
06:09or just the case of
06:10your wrong
06:11just catch on
06:12and good
06:13obviously I was confident
06:18and I was playing
06:19I was in the flow
06:20and I didn't want to stop the flow
06:21so
06:22it was about picking the right balls
06:23and playing to the areas that I wanted to play
06:25and
06:26he is
06:28the best bowler at the moment in world cricket
06:30so I had to you know
06:31be very watchful of where he is going to bowl
06:33but again
06:34I just back myself
06:35and
06:36back the areas that I wanted to score
06:38but
06:39you can see
06:40you have to go
06:41in the
06:41minute
06:43I think
06:44even
06:45this is
06:46and
06:47you see
06:48quite a couple spike in your stif libre
06:49specifically
06:50you saw the same here
06:51on the night
06:52now
06:53has there been anything that you have worked on
06:57the game
06:59between the seasons
07:00you have been sitting out of a fight
07:01between the last two seasons
07:02is there something specific you have worked on
07:04especially
07:05i mean
07:06Well, if you see, I don't think my strike rate has ever been low. It's always been high. But yes, I can agree that it's a bit higher now. In the last two seasons, I've been batting well. It's again, it's about the confidence and executing the shots that you want to play. I don't think I've changed anything. Maybe added a couple of shots, but I've always played the same way. And it's again, it's executing the shots that you want to play and scoring those runs, which is going to help you, you know, help you with the strike rate.
07:36Obviously, the longer you stay, the more chance you have to scoring more runs. So, honestly, I haven't changed anything. My strike rate has always been good. But again, I've obviously worked hard to, you know, play the shots that I want to play and execute that well. So, it's about the process and the practice and I'm happy and fortunate that it's coming off and hopefully, you know, I can keep continuing the same way.
08:06Q&A is a team of players playing a great role in any不好 car.
08:35I don't want to think more about a match and treat every day as a new day.
08:42I think it's the most important thing to me is to have full utilization.
08:50Whatever happens will happen, but focus on every match.
08:57My game plan is to play with the pitch and play with the pitch.
09:23I have confidence that I can play with every shot.
09:31That confidence is in me.
09:33But according to the pitch, I can play with the pitch.
09:38Today I thought I would play with the pitch.
09:41But in the next match, the pitch will probably be different.
09:44I will probably play with different ways.
09:49It's depending on what the situation requires and what the pitch offers.
09:54I who plays with the pitch.
