00:00Like UV didn't get the credit, which he should have got.
00:04And you know it.
00:05Ma'am, you tell me, how many people talk about a player who won the tournament in 2011?
00:12When these people give tags like underrated, how underrated Nog is, how underrated player
00:35is, these are the same people who give tags, who show under, undervalue and underappreciate.
00:41Nothing is underrated, it is under shown and undervalued.
00:45That is where the problem lies.
00:47That is where we, our country is obsessed with stats.
00:51Jab tak aap stats ka obsession khatam nahin karoge, tab tak aapko wo results nahin milenge.
00:5712 saal ho gaye hain Bharat ko World Cup jeete hue.
01:01Aur wo reason sirf yeh hai, kyunki unfortunately or fortunately, it's a very bitter truth.
01:08Our media, our broadcaster, more importantly social media.
01:12And isme sabse yada important role hai broadcaster ka.
01:16Agar broadcaster becomes a PR machinery for certain individuals, then you will never get the desired results.
01:23Broadcaster, you are talking about the people who broadcast the matches?
01:25Absolutely, absolutely.
01:27Mera ek aur take hai isme, ki koi aadmi, jisne kabhi cricket bat nahin pakda, jisne kabhi
01:35ek lakh logon ke saamne khadhe hoke, wo pressure nahin handle kiya.
01:39Jisne kabhi criticism nahin jhela.
01:41Wo ek AC kamre mein baith ki uske paas machinery hai, kisi ko brand banane ka, ya brand nahin banane ka.
01:47Wo decide karte hai ki mujhe na, un do logon mein yeh ladka zyada pasand hai, toh mai aaj isko brand banata ho.
01:52Apni poori machinery ispe lagata ho, doosre pe nahin.
01:55Toh baaki wo jo 14 khiladi hain, unka kya?
01:58Ke aap is tariki se, aur phir aap kehte ho ki aap stakeholder of Indian cricket?
02:02You are not a stakeholder of Indian cricket by any means.
02:05You are only a businessman who are looking to make money out of Indian cricket.
02:09Broadcaster can never be a PR machinery.
02:13A broadcaster needs to be fair to everyone sitting in that dressing room.
02:17Everyone.
02:18Kyuki koi kam mehnat karke India nahin khel sakta.
02:21Sab bahot mehnat karte hain.
02:23Sab ke paas, sab ko right dena chahiye, sab ko equally value karna chahiye, sirf ek ya do individuals ko nahin.
02:29No measures taken since your time when that World Cup happened?
02:33No, during my time, I think it was much different earlier.
02:37Because there was not a lot of social media in 2011.
02:40Not a lot of social media and more importantly, I thought at that time the broadcaster was not so self-obsessed or so individual.
02:47But you did say that jaise UV ko nahin mila the credit which he should have got.
02:52And you know it.
02:53Aap mujhe batao.
02:55Aap ek khiladi jo 2011 mein man of the tournament hota hai.
03:00Kitne log baat karte hain aap batayi?
03:02Kitne log?
03:03It's just a normal debate we are doing.
03:05Kyun?
03:06Probably because he doesn't have a good PR agency.
03:09Probably he's not spoken about.
03:11Tabhi yeh jo underrated word hai na, it is a very unfair word.
03:14Yeh underrated kuch bhi word nahi.
03:16It is only under shown.
03:18Agar aap kisi cheez ko dikhaoge nahi, toh logon ko pata hi nahi chalega.
03:20Agar aap ek cheez baar baar dikhate rahoge, toh log usi ke baare mein wo brand ban jayega.
