00:24:11I
00:24:39And now I would like to request the man of the moment, your very own Captain Rohit Sharma.
00:25:09Rohit, I think it was three months ago that you said to me on my show, you said, I really want to win the World Cup. And I think everybody here and everyone watching at home could feel that coming from the deep corners of your heart.
00:25:35Can you find the words right now to explain what this trophy means to you?
00:25:41Firstly,
00:26:12I don't know.
00:26:21Winning.
00:26:23Thank you, everybody. Thank you very much.
00:26:29Since the time we have come to India, it's been wonderful.
00:26:34The reception we've got here tells you the kind of enthusiasm, the kind of waiting that people had. So this trophy, yes, of course, it means so much to us, but it is for the entire nation.
00:26:48Along with, you know, all the players who are who have represented the country. I think the people who've been wanting for us to win this trophy, it is this trophy belongs to them.
00:27:09But look, it's been only three or four days now since the final happened. We just arrived this morning. It was honestly, it was a wonderful experience and a great honor to meet Mr. Narendra Modi in the morning with the team.
00:27:27We all know how passionate he is about the sport. So again, bringing this World Cup to this country means a lot to us. And then obviously, Mumbai never disappoints when it comes to winning the trophy.
00:27:44We've got a solid reception, you know, and yes, on behalf of my team, the entire BCCI, I would like to thank the fans, the entire nation, the people who support the game, they watch the game.
00:27:59And along with all of us, for the last 14 years, you know, they are the ones who've been, you know, wanting this trophy to come back to India. 11 years, sorry, not 14 years. But so finally it's here. I'm very, very happy and relieved.
00:28:15Tell me, 2007, you were part of that victory parade. Can you feel the difference now in 2024? What 17 years mean to everyone here?
00:28:27I mean, look, for me, every World Cup win is a very, very special moment. So I would like to leave where 2007 was right there because it was very, very special. It was the inaugural T20 World Cup. We won it and we showed the world, this is how you win the T20 World Cup. That was the first time ever.
00:28:46And again, when we won the 2011 World Cup at this very ground, Wankhede Stadium, again, it was very, very special. Champions Trophy 2013, we won in England. And then again, to bring this trophy back to Wankhede feels very, very special.
00:29:12Tell us a little bit about that moment we've seen. So two moments I want to talk to you about. One, when you saw Surya take that catch, because we can see you.
00:29:24Tell me what happened in your mind when you saw it from long on to long off.
00:29:41I was standing at long on, Surya was at long off. And obviously, Artik was bowling that crucial over for us. Hats off to him to bowl that last over. You know, no matter how many runs you need, there's always so much pressure to bowl that over.
00:29:59Hats off to him. So there was a lot of technical aspect of the game that we discussed in that last over, because the wind was blowing across the ground very, quite heavily.
00:30:23And we had a brief chat about what we wanted to do, because we all know David Miller can be a very dangerous player, and he has played that role to perfection most of the time. So we wanted to keep it away from him.
00:30:38And you know, Artik bowled that ball and then when it went up in the air, obviously for a moment I thought, because he hit with the wind, so I thought it may go. But it was written. Everything was written.
00:30:55So I'm glad that it didn't carry to the ground so much and for Surya to take that catch was exceptional. When we say practice makes man perfect, that is what it is.
00:31:16He has practiced those things in training so much. And we know when the pressure is there and those catches need to be taken, you can remember all those things that you have done in your training. And that is what Surya did. To take that catch right on the boundary was a great effort.
00:31:35And last question to you. You have become the first team to win the Men's T20 World Cup undefeated. You did not lose a single game. It was a complete team effort. Is it safe to say that you did not go for a minute in the garden in any match?
00:32:05Firstly, I think I'm very, very proud of this team. I'm very lucky to have a team like this, who at any given point in time want to stand up and get the job done for the team. But see again, there are so many people sitting over there, it will be very unfair for me to just name a few individuals.
00:32:31It is the entire player and the support staff. And this work started three or four years ago. It was the effort of what we have done in the last three or four years for us to put a thought to something and then everyone to buy into that thought was again a very challenging one.
00:32:55For us to then come together and then buy into that thought and say that this is what we want to do. This is how we want to play. It takes a lot of courage, but that's what the team did. And I'm very, very proud of it.
00:33:08This team did indeed show a lot of courage and a lot of fight and a lot of belief and they deserve all our love and all our cheering. It really has done us proud.
00:33:38What would you like to say to the crowd?
00:33:55As I said, the players were desperate to win the World Cup, but the people were even more desperate. And I'm very happy that we were able to do something on the 29th of June that made millions of people smile.
00:34:22As I said, this team is a very special team and I'm very lucky that I got the chance to captain such a team.
00:34:52And now I'd like to call on stage the head coach, Mr. Rahul Dravid.
00:35:22Tell me, I know it's very difficult to sum up this answer, but what do all these boys mean to you?
00:35:45I know it's difficult to sum this up in a line, but what do all these boys mean to you?
00:35:54They're like family. It's just been incredible what these boys have done. Just the level of hard work, resilience, fighting spirit, a never say die attitude, constantly looking to get better.
00:36:21As a coach and as a support staff, we could never have asked for anything more. They're fantastically led by Rohit and the senior members in this team. And it's truly a privilege to be able to coach and work with these boys.
00:36:34As you pull the curtain down on such a successful stint, what are you going to miss about this hurricane of emotions that has been the last few years?
00:36:46I'm going to miss this love. I mean, what we've seen today is absolutely phenomenal. What we've seen right from the time that we've landed here, and I'm sure these scenes, people have told me, have happened all over India.
00:37:03Just the love of the people, the love of these fans. I think it's these fans and these people who make cricket the game it is. It's the greatest game in the world because of the fans from India. Thank you so much. We're truly indebted to you guys.
00:37:20Rahul, you have to tell us about that phone call that we keep hearing about. Tell us about that phone call, if you can, a little bit, from Rohit.
00:37:30Yes, I mean, I wasn't really sure whether I was going to continue after the 50-over World Cup, and obviously there was a great joy of having had a fantastic campaign in the 50-over World Cup, but also the little bit of disappointment in the final that we could not get across the line.
00:37:46And for Rohit to pick up the phone to me and say, Rahul, let's have one more crack at it in six or eight months' time, it'll be lovely to have a crack together. I'm so thankful because of that, I've had a chance to firstly work with this exceptionally great bunch of boys, but also experience what I've experienced at Barbados and to experience what I've done here.
00:38:12So, truly grateful, and yeah, it's probably one of the best phone calls I've received in my life.
00:38:19It has to be the best phone call we know you've received in your life, so for sure. And lastly, is this just the best way to kind of sign off?
00:38:33Yeah, it's certainly nice. It's a fantastic way to finish. I mean, obviously, there's a lot of stuff that I'm going to miss. I'm going to miss this team, I'm going to miss these boys, I'm going to miss so much. I'm going to miss just my support staff, everyone on that support staff team of mine.
00:38:49I'm standing here today because of the support of the rest of my support staff. I think without them, I would not have been able to function and do the kind of work that I've been able to do. So, I'm truly grateful, and yeah, it's a nice way to finish.
00:39:10You've given us so much joy when you were batting for Team India, and it gave us so much joy to see this team hoisting you up in the air like that in Barbados. Thank you so much for all that you've done for Indian cricket.
00:39:23Thanks, Gaurav. Thank you so much, guys. Thank you so much for turning up. This means a lot.
00:39:39Well, there was another very emotional moment on the 29th. It was when a certain young man dropped a bomb on all of us very casually in the post-match presentation, where he said that he's retiring from T20Is.
00:40:09And we obviously want him to come up on stage and say a few words. Please welcome No. 18, Virat Kohli.
00:40:40How, Virat, how heady and crazy have these last four days been?
00:40:50Firstly, a big thank you to all the people turning up in the stadium and what we saw on the streets tonight.
00:41:20It's something I'm never going to forget in my life. Sorry, what was the question?
00:41:25That's the last four hours. I asked about the last four days.
00:41:30Four days have been a roller coaster of a ride, honestly. We won the World Cup. We wanted to get out of Barbados as soon as possible, get back to India, celebrate with everyone.
00:41:39Got stuck in a hurricane. Bit of an anti-climax feeling. But since we came back, what has happened has been phenomenal, as I said.
00:41:48And just the final day in itself was truly, truly special. I'm sure like everyone in the stadium, at one point we also felt like, man, is it going to slip away again?
00:42:01And then what happened in those last five overs was truly, truly special.
00:42:07What I would like everyone to do is to applaud a guy who brought us back into games again.
00:42:37And again and again and again in this tournament. And what he did, what he did in those last five overs, bowling two out of those last five, it was phenomenal.
00:42:55It was phenomenal. A huge round of applause to Jaspreet Bumrah, please.
00:43:08And yeah, man, after the game, I knew this was it. That was the moment. Time to step away. Let the young lot come through and take the Indian flag forward.
00:43:18Just on a side note, I'm thinking of starting a petition to call Jaspreet Bumrah our national treasure and the eighth wonder of the world. Will you be the first person to sign it?
00:43:29I'll sign the petition now. Let him decide what he wants to do with his schedule. We want him to play as long as possible. He's a once in a generation bowler and we're so glad that he plays for us.
00:43:47This ground, 2nd of April, 2011. You remember that day. And then today, this ground, this crowd, always giving special memories with World Cups.
00:44:03It's amazing. I remember when I won that World Cup, you asked Rohit the question as well, when he won the first World Cup that he was part of.
00:44:09Honestly, I could not connect with the emotions of the senior players at that point of time. I was like, I don't understand why they're crying.
00:44:17For me, it felt like, yeah, we won the World Cup. It's as easy as that. I was 22, 23. But now, it is a different feeling.
00:44:26I remember I'm saying something about Sachin Baji when we won that World Cup that he's carried the burden for so long. It's time we carried him on our shoulders.
00:44:34And now, to be in this position, not just me, Rohit's played for so long as well. We both have been trying this for so long, trying our hardest.
00:44:46When I was captain, he was a senior player in the team. Now he's captain. I'm one of the senior players in the team.
00:44:51The only aim was to win India World Cup. So, I hope that we have carried that burden to an extent and given the results that the country wanted us to provide to them.
00:45:04And no better place to come back. The last time we won here, it was Wankhede. Bringing the trophy back here is a truly special feeling.
00:45:12And it is because this is a very, very special stadium and I absolutely love playing here and love the crowds here as well.
00:45:19I mean, the both of you, the senior most members of the team, you know you both broke the internet with that picture of the flag across your shoulders.
00:45:30Are you aware of how much you have broken the internet with that one picture, the two of you?
00:45:35I don't know about breaking the internet, but this is the first time in 15 years of playing together that I've seen Rohit show so much emotion on the field.
00:45:49When I was walking up the steps, I was crying, he was crying and we hugged. For me, that's going to be a very special memory from that day.
00:46:03Because all said and done after so many years, the only goal is this. The only goal is Indian cricket and the Indian flag. And that's what we take pride in.
00:46:13It is so amazing to see, especially the two of you, him winning in 2007, you winning in 2011.
00:46:21As young lads, I've known you as young lads, I know you now as family men and adoring, adorable fathers.
00:46:29To see that journey with the two of you, the fact that you've carried the hopes and dreams of one and a half plus billion Indians and taken us to this trophy.
00:46:38I thank you on behalf of all of them. Thank you so much, Virat.
00:46:43Thank you, guys.
00:46:44Well, by popular demand, I am told that the national treasure player of the tournament, Jasmeet Bumrah is required up on stage.
00:47:14I know that all of you want to do one thing to the player of the tournament, so I'm going to do it on your behalf. You can follow me if you want, okay?
00:47:45There, there, we see it. But you know, the thing is that the Wankhede crowd have done that so many times for you, that now they're saying, just play the footage.
00:47:57Bum, how does this moment feel right now?
00:48:06You know, it feels amazing because this ground is really special in my life. As a youngster, I came here as an under-19 kid, started playing here.
00:48:17And you know, what I saw today on the ground, on the streets and the people over here, I've never seen something like that.
00:48:24And you know, to experience this and the emotion that we felt after the game is unreal. And I will never, ever forget, you know, that day and the memories that I have now.
00:48:32And I know as player of the tournament, you're also aware that this was such a complete team effort from everyone. Tell me what makes this group of young lads so special?
00:48:47You know, I'll count myself as a young lad as well, but you know, the experienced players and the other staff that, you know, the variety that we have, the confidence that we have, that all the players are so confident to take the game by the grab of their neck and, you know, pull the team out when they're in trouble.
00:49:03So all of that is as special as they get. And, you know, all of us like Rohit and Viraj just said that all our aim is to take Indian cricket forward and try to help the team as much as we can and take, you know, bring more glory to the country.
00:49:17So it feels special. We've never won a World Cup. First time we won a World Cup. Now we've also contributed something and this gives us more motivation to do it even better now.
00:49:27And I know he's very young, but how special was it to have your son there witnessing it?
00:49:32It was unreal. Usually I'm not the one who's, you know, lost of words, but seeing my son and the emotions that came in, I never usually cry after a game, but I started crying and I cried two, three times.
00:49:44I spoke to my wife about it as well, you know, to see my son there winning the World Cup and doing so well for the tournament, it felt really special and I have got no other words for that.
00:49:54We're so proud of you, Jaspreet. I just want to say one thing. Rohit, Viraj and Jaddu, all three sneaked in their retirement. I just want to say that when you want to retire from T20 Eyes, you'll need at least one billion people to sign that petition. Is that a deal from your end?
00:50:14It's a long way away now. I've just started, so I'm very happy that, you know, I've done well and hopefully it's far away now.
00:50:21It's very, very far away. We're going to hold you to those words. Ladies and gentlemen, the player of the tournament, Jaspreet Bumrah.
00:50:43I'd now like to invite the BCCI office bearers on stage, Mr. Roger Binney, Mr. Jai Shah, Mr. Rajiv Shukla and Mr. Ashish Shaila. If I could request them to please come up on stage.
00:51:13And now, I'd like to request Rohit Sharma, Mr. Rajiv Shukla and Mr. Ashish Shaila to come up on stage.
00:51:43And now, I'd like to request Rohit Sharma and his team to please come up on stage and receive this cheque of 125 crores from the BCCI.

00:55:18Once again, another page has been added to the Wankhede Stadium.
00:55:22Millions of fans will always remember that Rohit Sharma's team came back to Mumbai from Tiranga Garh in Bridgetown Barbados.
00:55:38They welcomed them with open arms.
00:55:42They showed them love and respect.
00:55:46And this team deserves it.
00:55:49Rohit Sharma said goodbye to T20 International.
00:55:52Virat Kohli did the same.
00:55:54And the next day, Ravindra Jadeja played in his 6th T20 World Cup and won it.
00:56:00He said, that's it for now.
00:56:03But now, when Sanju Samson, Shubhman Gill, Yashaswi Jaiswal, Shivam Dubey, Rinku Singh, Harshdeep Singh and Akshar Patel will lead this campaign.
00:56:13Because this is not the end, this is the beginning.
00:56:16The 11-year wait for the ICC trophy is now over.
00:56:21The feeling of being a world champion for 13 years, which was not there in many World Cup semifinals and finals, is now over.
00:56:30India has once again become a world champion.
00:56:34Virat said a very interesting thing in his speech.
00:56:39He singled out Jasprit Bumrah and said, he is a national treasure.
00:56:42Many people remember the batting performances of Jasprit Bumrah.
00:56:47But they may forget how many times Jasprit Bumrah turned a match like this towards India.
00:56:57When it seemed that he was going away from the catch.
00:57:00Virat also said that he has never seen such emotion from Rohit Sharma while playing international cricket for 15 years.
00:57:07When the match ended on the stairs of Barbados, when India became the world champion.
00:57:12And when both met each other.
00:57:15And they felt that sense of palpable relief that had been a long time coming.
00:57:20Rohit Sharma also said that this field is very close to his heart.
00:57:25And that is why this evening is so special.
00:57:27Even though India won the World Cup final in 2011.
00:57:30But the feeling of winning the World Cup final has been missing for a long time.
00:57:38That trophy has been missing from this cabinet.
00:57:40After 17 years, the T20 World Cup champions once again.
00:57:45Rahul Dravid and Rohit Sharma's team.
00:57:47In the midst of all this, this trophy will come in the hands of Hardik Pandya.
00:57:50This has been a wonderful story for him too.
00:57:52When he became the captain of his team on this field.
00:57:55Then these fans were expecting something different.
00:57:57There was a little criticism.
00:57:59There was a little criticism.
00:58:00But he reminded everyone of his performances.
00:58:04That once a champion, always a champion.
00:58:07And this evening is just as special for Hardik.
00:58:09In front of those fans.
00:58:11Whom he captains.
00:58:14Now he has the right to pick up the trophy.
00:58:16Ravindra Jadeja has had an amazing T20 career.
00:58:19Six T20 World Cups.
00:58:21Someone plays.
00:58:22And then tastes the taste of victory for the first time in the sixth.
00:58:25An amazing story.
00:58:26Another amazing story of Rishabh Pant.
00:58:28In December 2022.
00:58:30Maybe he felt that.
00:58:31Will life be able to go ahead of him?
00:58:33But not only did he move life forward.
00:58:36But he moved the wheels of his cricket forward.
00:58:38And then he told the story of the turnaround and comeback again.
00:58:42And then he made his place in a World Cup team.
00:58:44And then that performance came against Pakistan.
00:58:48Virat Kohli is holding the Tiranga.
00:58:50On April 2, 2011, there were some such scenes.

01:05:32To be continued.
01:05:38To be continued.
01:06:02Thank you everybody, thank you very much.
01:06:28Since the time we have come to India, it's been wonderful.
01:06:32The reception we have got here tells you the kind of enthusiasm, the kind of waiting that
01:06:39people had.
01:06:40So this trophy, yes of course it means so much to us, but it is for the entire nation.
01:06:52Along with all the players who have represented the country, I think the people who have been
01:07:01wanting for us to win this trophy, this trophy belongs to them.
01:07:07But look, it's been only three or four days now since the final happened.
01:07:15We just arrived this morning.
01:07:17It was… honestly it was a wonderful experience and a great honor to meet Mr. Narendra Modi
01:07:23in the morning with the team.
01:07:29We all know how passionate he is about the sport.
01:07:32So again, bringing this World Cup to this country means a lot to us.
01:07:37And then obviously, Mumbai never disappoints when it comes to winning the trophy.
01:07:44We have got a solid reception and yes, on behalf of my team, the entire BCCI, I would
01:07:53like to thank the fans, the entire nation, the people who support the game, they watch
01:07:57the game.
01:07:58And along with all of us, for the last 14 years, they are the ones who have been wanting
01:08:05this trophy to come back to India.
01:08:0711 years, sorry, not 14 years.
01:08:09But so finally it's here.
01:08:11I'm very, very happy and relieved.
01:08:13Tell me.
01:08:15It's amazing that he says finally it's here because in 2007, as a player, he had won this
01:08:19trophy.
01:08:20But then that wait was a little longer and he himself said that, you know, the one thing
01:08:23that he really wants to do is win a World Cup trophy.
01:08:27This is amazing.
01:08:30In typical Mumbai style, Pragyan Bhai, he has celebrated.
01:08:33But we also saw Virat Kohli celebrating with him and after that, he had time to reflect
01:08:39on what has been a momentous performance in the World Cup.
01:08:43What did Virat Kohli say in front of these fans sitting at the Wankhede since 3 p.m.?
01:08:48Let's have a look at that again.
01:08:53Firstly, a big thank you to all the people turning up in the stadium and what we saw
01:09:06on the streets tonight is something I'm never going to forget in my life.
01:09:12Sorry, what was the question?
01:09:15That's the last four hours?
01:09:17I asked about the last four days.
01:09:19Four days have been a roller coaster of a ride, honestly.
01:09:23We won the World Cup.
01:09:24We wanted to get out of Barbados as soon as possible, get back to India, celebrate with
01:09:29everyone.
01:09:30Got stuck in a hurricane.
01:09:31Bit of anti-climax feeling but since we came back, what has happened has been phenomenal
01:09:36as I said and just the final day in itself was truly, truly special.
01:09:41I'm sure like everyone in the stadium, at one point, we also felt like, man, is it going
01:09:49to slip away again?
01:09:51And then what happened in those last five overs was truly, truly special.
01:10:01You know, what I would like everyone to do is to applaud a guy who brought us back into
01:10:24games again and again and again in this tournament.
01:10:30And what he did, what he did in those last five overs, bowling two out of those last
01:10:42five, it was phenomenal.
01:10:45A huge round of applause to Jaspreet Bumrah, please.
01:10:49Go, go, go, go, go.
01:10:57And yeah, man, after the game I knew this was it.
01:11:00That was the moment.
01:11:01Time to step away, let the young lot come through and take the Indian flag forward.
01:11:09And just like that, he said goodbye to T20 International.
01:11:11Then he said, yeah, and like that, man, I just knew that this was time.
01:11:15This is also the time to let it go completely with all the pressure of expectations weighing down on those shoulders of Virat Kohli
01:11:23and finally has the time to celebrate on the very ground that he celebrated being a world champion for the very first time.
01:11:28But in the midst of all this, Rahul Dravid also bid farewell to his coaching stint with that victory in Bridgetown Barbados.
01:11:35But what did he say to these fans this evening? Let's hear from Rahul Dravid.
01:11:39I'm gonna miss this love. I mean what we've seen today is absolutely phenomenal.
01:11:47What we've seen right from the time we've landed here and I'm sure these scenes people have told me have happened all over India.
01:11:58Just the love of the people, the love of these fans. I think it's these fans and these people who make cricket the game it is.
01:12:06It's the greatest game in the world because of the fans from India. Thank you so much. We're truly indebted to you guys.
01:12:17And that's the man who's won many a games in India and abroad for the tricolour.
01:12:23He's skippered the nation, he's also coached them now to a World Cup trophy.
01:12:27Rahul Dravid, I salute you. The passion, the love, the desire and the integrity that he's shown along the way.
01:12:35With all the graciousness that's come along with it. He's obviously a huge senior, a stalwart of Indian cricket.
01:12:40And speaking of seniors, Virat Kohli also said something about seniors.
01:12:44Now he himself is a senior in Indian cricket but when he felt the feeling of being a world champion for the first time in 2011,
01:12:50how did the seniors feel and why did Virat get a little surprised?
01:12:54Virat said this about him.
01:12:59I don't know about breaking the internet but this is the first time in 15 years of playing together that I've seen Rohit show so much emotion on the field.
01:13:08When I was walking up the steps, I was crying, he was crying and we hugged.
01:13:20For me that's going to be a very special memory from that day.
01:13:27Because all said and done after so many years, the only goal is this.
01:13:30The only goal is Indian cricket and the Indian flag. And that's what we take pride in.
01:13:36And just a casual head shake from Rohit.
01:13:39And that's the beauty of Indian cricket.
01:13:41Of these two stalwarts who've held the tricolour aloft so many times on so many different occasions.
01:13:46They've supported each other, pushed each other forward and as a result, they've taken Indian cricket forward.
01:13:54In the midst of all this, the player of the tournament was Jaspreet Bumrah.
01:13:58He has narrated the story of his victory to the fans many times on this field.
01:14:01But today when he was asked about the story after becoming the player of the tournament, Jaspreet Bumrah said this.
01:14:29And doing so well for the tournament, it felt really special and I've got no other words for that.
01:14:45And that's it, we've been together since 4.30pm today on Welcome Back Champions.
01:14:49Our champions are our insiders Pragya Noja, Robin Uthappa, Suresh Raina, Abhinav Mukund.
01:14:54They've all given us great company on what truly is a memorable evening.
01:14:57It was a memorable evening and Mumbai was a witness to it.
01:15:01But at the same time, it's been a story for the whole country.
01:15:04Because it's been a day of national celebration.
01:15:06After waiting for 4 days, our champions finally come to Rajdhani.
01:15:10From there, they head towards Mumbai.
01:15:12They're welcomed by thousands of people.
01:15:14The Marine Drive, the Queen's Necklace shines in such a beautiful way.
01:15:18And then there's the commotion in Wankhede.
01:15:20They say, right, tough times don't last, tough people do.
01:15:23Grown men don't cry, Pragyan Bhai, but world champions do.
01:15:26We have to talk about Virat Kohli.
01:15:30You've won so many matches for your team and your country.
01:15:33But this moment was something different.
01:15:35Everyone was emotional.
01:15:39Yes, absolutely.
01:15:40Emotions come out in different ways.
01:15:44They come out of different situations.
01:15:48If you talk about Virat and Rohit,
01:15:52they've worked so hard for so many years.
01:15:54They've carried the weight of the Indian team for so many years.
01:15:57Maybe that's how the emotions came out.
01:15:59If you talk about Bumrah, Rahul, or the youngsters,
01:16:03maybe the youngsters were emotional because they're seeing
01:16:07what kind of a challenge is in front of them.
01:16:10How did we get such an opportunity?
01:16:15Everyone has their own emotions.
01:16:17It felt good to see that.
01:16:19I just want to say that this is just the beginning.
01:16:24This is the beginning.
01:16:26They say, I've only measured the ground now.
01:16:30The sky is yet to be seen.
01:16:32I think this is the beginning of an era for the Indian team.
01:16:37For which you talk about so much work going on in the back end,
01:16:41so much hard work, so much planning.
01:16:44Take women's cricket, men's cricket, junior cricket.
01:16:48We don't just have to reach the semi-finals.
01:16:54We have to lift the trophy.
01:16:56We have to win trophies continuously.
01:17:00That's our strength.
01:17:04That's our ecosystem.
01:17:07I want this to continue.
01:17:10I want the fans, millions and crores of them,
01:17:15to be happy like this.
01:17:17Bumrah, Hardik Pandya are the future of T20 cricket.
01:17:21Sanju Samson is also there.
01:17:23They have to carry this weight forward.
01:17:26You will become a pillar.
01:17:28I was waiting for your lines.
01:17:31I took some inspiration from you.
01:17:33But you're absolutely right.
01:17:34This sets us on the path towards the next title.
01:17:37Let's see how Team India prepares for it.
01:17:41What is the schedule of the Indian team in the coming months?
