00:00Thank you very much, sir. I wanted to say that when the schedule was decided, I always thought that the semi-final would not be able to get the final in any way.
00:08Because the final is our previous year, which is the 19th November, where the final is a different beast.
00:14So that was a bit of a fear. So I wanted to say that you can win the semi-final in any way and get the semi-final in any way, Australia will be very easy to get the final in any way.
00:23And the extra ballers, like Varun Chakravarti, that's also a trump card. You had to try everything, everything you had to do.
00:32You have a proper squad in the final or semi-final in any way. So I'm very happy to say that you can win the race in any way.
00:42You have won the 2013 championship without a match. So you can win it without a match.
00:48Thank you very much.
00:50Very excited, actually, you know, defending this kind of total. You know, I was thinking, actually, India was like, you know, half the inning, I thought India was like 20 runs short of a par score.
01:00But, you know, I think, you know, facing India's quality of, you know, spin baller on this kind of track was very difficult, you know.
01:07And Williamson was a lone warrior, you know, and then in the end he gave up as well, you know.
01:12Fantastic. And Varun Chakravarti, you know, would have come back for him, you know.
01:15The 2021 World Cup, same ground, Varun Chakravarti, he was booed by, I think it was Salman Badd who said we can find, you know, Varun Chakravarti kind of baller in every street of Pakistan.
01:26Remember that? And now he's coming back with the five wickets all, you know.
01:29So fantastic effort by India, good bowling backs, Jodeja, amazing, you know, and Aksar especially, you know, I mean, he is like a proper all-rounder now, you know, I would say betting all-rounder, you know.
01:41So it was an amazing effort from India. Now they have to go and beat Australia, you know, in semifinal, I think.
01:46I think, you know, seeing the slow and spinning track of the way, I would actually give India Edge, you know, in semifinal.
01:56I think they should beat Australia and play final now.
02:01What to say about this match? Like, when I came for the second inning and I was working for my first shift and I thought that we will not make it.
02:09But it was a really exciting match today. And what to say about our players? They are fantastic.
02:15And I'm very much sure that this year we will lift the trophy. Hip hip hooray. India and India.
02:20We, we, we, we, we, we won the championship. Champion trophy is ours.
02:23I wanted to see in semifinal India versus Australia. Now, you know, 2023 ODI World Cup, the same rivalry is back.
02:31This time Australia, Kangaroos, you'll go in a losing way. Seriously, I'm very happy because I wanted India versus Australia.
02:39in semifinal, not in final, which is going to happen now. So I loved it. And, you know, Kiwi is always good team.
02:45But this time, I knew that India will win. But now India versus Australia, semifinal, I loved it.
02:51And thank you so much my team. I love Ravarun Chakravarti. Actually, you know, what he did? Five wickets.
02:57Ten overs, 42 runs, five wickets. Amazing, Mike. Kya bowling kia? Kya bowling kia? Maja a gaya? Maja baan diya.
03:02Our third, Meku Haradik Pandya, last of the 45 runs.
03:07It's because of that we are at 249. I don't think we'll go to 240, super close.
03:11But 240, we will have to win. We will win.
03:16I'm so grateful that India will receive the semifinal.
03:19India will be the same as the fans, their band will be the same.
03:23And that band will be the same as the fans.
