00:00 World Cup. What would you like to say about that?
00:03 Look, an hour spent in pride is better than three years of being a champion.
00:09 Even if a butterfly lives for a moment, it lives at its highest.
00:16 The Indian team's World Cup was exactly like that.
00:23 Every moment was full of pride.
00:26 Every moment had a story of victory.
00:31 Every player was in form.
00:33 There was no batsman who didn't contribute.
00:38 Look, no individual can win a match.
00:42 It's a combination of the team.
00:45 And it's important to say about Rohit Sharma that
00:49 "Katewar naam talwar ka, Lade Fauj naam Sardar ka."
00:53 It's a big praise.
00:55 The brick bats and the bookies are always for the captain.
00:59 Pakistan is leading from the front.
01:01 They are making runs.
01:03 And the biggest thing is that it's a sign of a progressive life.
01:09 The evolution of the Indian team from 1983 to today is remarkable.
01:17 Look, in 1983 when the Indian team went, no one expected that they would win.
01:24 They were underdogs.
01:27 No one was ready to bet.
01:28 They were underdogs.
01:30 But Kapil Baji's picture on the balcony of the World Cup,
01:40 that was a small moment.
01:43 That was a moment that awakened self-confidence.
01:48 That awakened self-confidence in the Indian team and in every Indian.
01:56 Here and abroad.
01:58 That we can be the best amongst the best.
02:02 That we can be the best.
02:05 And it was a double ability.
02:08 Because they went abroad to make their own iron.
02:13 To go to the lion's den and give him a washing pot.
02:17 Those decades were dominated by Australia and especially the West Indies.
02:23 No one believed that the Indian team would win.
02:25 So, to go and make your own iron abroad, that's where it starts.
02:30 And now you see that in the last 50 years, the Indian team's DNA has changed.
02:35 Number one, look at the level of fitness.
02:38 Look at the level of fielding.
02:41 Look at the technicality.
02:43 The biggest thing is that you look at the balance in the team.
02:47 In those days, if a good player got injured, he couldn't be replaced.
02:53 Today, if you look at it, the player says, "I didn't get injured."
02:58 Because the second player is not a lion, he is a lioness.
03:01 That has raised the level of the competition to another level.
03:06 That is a different level.
03:08 The third advantage, if you look at it, is that after 1983, two World Cups.
03:14 This is the second one, in which India dominated.
03:17 Both at home.
03:20 Because there, when a crocodile is in the water, the lion can't recognize it.
