00:00 split captaincy, will it work or should Rohit be the captain again in T20?
00:07 I know that many are not available. Surya is T20 captain. Surya is not a certainty in
00:14 one days. Shri Jambudin is a different captain in one days in K. Rahul. And test match obviously
00:19 Rohit wants to play. But as I said, once Rohit is back playing all four matches, he should
00:24 be the captain again. Because he has done so well in the World Cup. And he is a leader.
00:29 He is a leader. So I expect and I presume that he will continue as captain in the T20 World
00:37 Cup.
00:38 I know that you are waiting for 10 years. India is going to the semifinal of ICC. I
00:45 have asked you about the World Cup. Sunil Gavaskar has said that we should learn from
00:52 India's defeat. Otherwise, the path to the trophy will be slow. What do you think? Where
00:57 are the problems? What should be done?
00:59 At least we have gone to the final. I have dominated the team. Hopefully we will win
01:08 because there is no rocket science. I can't give the reason of why we are not winning
01:16 a final because I as captain have qualified for three finals. And I just managed to win
01:23 one as joint winner with Sri Lanka. So I don't have the right to say how to win finals.
01:31 I lost the 2003 World Cup final in South Africa, then the Champions Trophy final in Kenya in
01:39 2001. And after playing as well as India did, after winning every game and just losing all
01:45 the finals. So hopefully they will cross the bridge. Hopefully the luck will change for
01:49 them. I thought this World Cup, they had a great chance in the final when Australia were
01:53 47-3. If Mohan Akhtar wicket pulled in the game would have been different but then obviously
01:58 they have passed. Hopefully the West Indies will get there and get past us.
02:03 Do you think they really fit in the EQ and Team scheme of things looking at the 24th
02:11 World Cup? Absolutely. Absolutely they do. And I said it,
02:15 a month ago when, you know, who asked me after one of you, our overseas players said that
02:23 you know Virat should only concentrate on West cricket and not on 1-0-3-20. You saw
02:28 in the World Cup how well he played. You saw how Rohit played in the World Cup. And they
02:33 are absolutely, absolutely integral and an important part of Indian cricket. World Cups
02:40 are different. Bilaterals are different. World Cups are different because the pressures
02:45 are different. And I think they were both exceptional this World Cup and hopefully
02:48 6-7 months down the line in the West Indies they will be again at their best. I am very
02:53 rightfully they have taken a break because there is so much cricket, so much cricket,
02:58 this cricket all the time. I cannot imagine that you played a World Cup final on the 19th
03:03 of November and in 3 days time you are playing a T20 series against the same team. It is
03:09 not easy to pick yourself up, you know, especially with the pressure and the demands of a World
03:14 Cup. But that is what cricket is these days. You just keep playing all around the world.
03:18 And I am happy they have got a break. I read yesterday that they wanted to be substitutes
03:23 for the white ball part of South Africa also. And rightfully so. They will come back fresh
03:28 for next cricket and the 5 tests against England and then they have the IPL and then they have
03:33 the World Cup. So it is a non-stop cricket. Hopefully they will come back fresh and keep
03:38 performing. I will ask Dabur to send some chalupras to Dabur.
03:42 Dabur is a very meticulous person. So I am sure he will enjoy the chalupras. I am not
03:55 surprised that they have faith in Dabur. When I was president of the board we convinced
04:01 him to do this job. And I am so happy to see yesterday that his tenure has been extended.
04:06 It was always the case, depending on whether he wanted it or not. I wish him luck for another
04:11 World Cup in June. He was very close this time. They may not have won it but they probably
04:16 were the best team in the competition with the way they played. So he has got another
04:20 7 months for a World Cup in the West Indies and hopefully at that time he will not be
04:25 run as up but a champion.
