00:00Assalam-o-Alaikum. Thank you very much. Khurram Shehzad is with us. He took his first 5-wicket
00:06haul in Test wicket. We will go to the questions. The first question is from Biharam Qazi.
00:10Assalam-o-Alaikum, Khurram. This is Biharam Qazi from Pro Sports. You did a great bowling.
00:16You took 6 for 90 and Pakistan had dropped 6 wickets in the first 58 minutes. After that,
00:22Bangladesh reached 262. You had bowled in the last Test as well. How was the surface
00:27of the pitch? It was different and you had a lot of success against the left-handers.
00:31Please tell us about that. The surface was a little different. It was a little helpful
00:35compared to the last pitch. The faces kept coming. We had lost one session. We had taken
00:40early out. But unfortunately, their partnership was good. So we had to struggle a little.
00:47Assalam-o-Alaikum, Khurram. This is Abubakar from Crickwick. It was your first 5-wicket.
00:52You bowled very well. You started in Test cricket, especially in International cricket.
00:57What are your goals in Red Ball cricket? Do you have a target in Red Ball cricket?
01:02Do you want to achieve something, especially after your debut? Yes, it is my dream.
01:07My aim is to play Test cricket for Pakistan as long as possible. I want to play as many
01:13matches as possible for Pakistan.
01:17Khurram, this is Zahid Farooq Malik. If you look at it, it was a one-man show from both
01:25sides. From Pakistan, you and Jitendra Das helped. From Mehdi Hassan, Mir Hamza and
01:33Agha Salman helped. How do you see, after such a good performance, your achievement?
01:40If Pakistan loses the match, how will you be able to save this match? Because the last
01:48match was also a batting match. It was the second day. Did you discuss anything during
01:56lunch, tea, how to make it a one-man show?
02:01We always try to be positive. I have full hope that our batting capacity will be good
02:08tomorrow. We will try to out that total. We will try to win the match, Inshallah.
02:14Khurram, when the ball was moving in the first hour, Pakistan was getting a lot of success.
02:19When the movement of the ball decreases, there is a partnership, two sides are batting,
02:24what strategies were Pakistan's fast bowlers trying to employ to take wickets?
02:29There was a partnership of 150 rupees in the middle. It seemed that the pitch was not
02:34offering anything.
02:35As a professional, we are ready for everything. When there is a swing, we get help.
02:40When there is no swing, we try to contain it. We try not to give runs. When there is
02:45a partnership, we try to bowl with discipline and try to stop the runs.
02:53Khurram, after a long time, your bowling made the Pakistanis happy that cricket will
03:00continue in Pakistan. Do you think that our Kings, Babur Azam and other players will
03:07continue to bowl?
03:11Yes, I believe that Babur Azam will continue to bowl. I believe that Babur Azam will
03:16set a good total tomorrow, Inshallah. We will try to win the match, Inshallah.
03:22I am Asadar Ali Mubarak, Daily Mail, Islamabad. Khurram, today you bowled 91 runs in 21
03:27hours. Before this, when you started bowling, you were seeing a lot of aggressive and good
03:35balls and wickets. Did you feel tiredness or did the wicket behaviour change? Or did you
03:42feel that if the next wicket is out, Pakistan will bowl within 50 runs? Did you feel that
03:50your rhythm was broken?
03:54This is the beauty of Test cricket. The momentum keeps changing. In the beginning, we were
04:006 runs ahead of them. There is no tiredness, but there is a partnership. This is the beauty
04:05of cricket. We tried our best to break them, but this game is like this. There is a partnership
04:12and it went long.
04:14Abdul Jabbar, Faisal Sports. Sir, this is your performance. How much credit will you
04:19give to Justin Gillespie for this?
04:23I will give credit to my coach, Justin Gillespie. He has motivated me a lot. He always keeps
04:30me positive. He always backs me. So, I will give credit to him. He has backed me a lot.
04:35Last question.
04:37Mr. Vikram, you did very well in bowling. You were seen as an extra artist in bowling.
04:44You were told that you were sent as a one-down night watchman. Please say something about
04:49that.
04:50I have been a night watchman many times. There is a team requirement. I was ready for
04:57that. I tried to survive, but unfortunately, I got out.
05:01Thank you very much.
