00:00It's not easy to live alone.
00:01My father used to send Rs. 1,500.
00:04What could I ask for?
00:05I used to go at night and sell pani puri.
00:08It's difficult to stay in a tent in the rain.
00:11There's no electricity.
00:12Where would you go for a washroom or toilet?
00:14That's when I got tired.
00:17Of course, I'm really working to play for India.
00:20And that's my dream, to play for India.
00:22Then I'm just chasing my dream, I think.
00:30My father also said,
00:32if you want to do something, if you want to play cricket,
00:35then stay alone.
00:36You'll be left alone, sir. It's not easy to stay alone.
00:39It was difficult, I used to miss it a lot.
00:42But I told my parents that I had to lose a lot to get something.
00:47I came here.
00:48My father was staying with his brother, and I stayed with him for a few days.
00:51And then I thought,
00:53instead of being a burden on him, I should go somewhere else.
00:57So I told my uncle.
00:58There was a shyam dairy, and he got me to stay there.
01:02I used to practice, but I couldn't do much work.
01:05So all of a sudden, I left.
01:07I said, look, I don't have a washroom.
01:09I live here, I work in the village.
01:11You stay with me, eat and drink, and do your work.
01:28It's very difficult to stay in a tent in the rain, sir.
01:31There's no electricity there.
01:32Where will you go to the washroom or toilet in the rain?
01:35The water used to fill up to here.
01:37Food, I mean, my father used to sell it for Rs. 1,500.
01:41What could I ask him for?
01:42And then at night,
01:44at night, an uncle used to say,
01:47Monty, you're working so hard,
01:50so help me out a bit, I'll be able to do my work.
01:52So I used to go at night and sell pani puri.
01:56One day, the boys I used to play with
01:58came to the pani puri shop.
02:00They were looking at me.
02:02I felt really bad, and I ran away.
02:04That's when I got into a situation where I was exhausted.
02:19This is what I'm trying to do,
02:20to practice as much as I can,
02:22practice as much as I can, follow my daily routine.
02:24I want to make as many good runs for my team as possible
02:27and win matches.
02:28Whatever match I play,
02:29I have to understand that every inning,
02:33every inning that I play is very important to me.
02:35If I go, I try to do the best I can for my team,
02:41for the hard work I put in every day.
02:43That's what I do, and of course,
02:45I'm really working to play for India,
02:47and that's my dream, to play for India.
02:50I'm just chasing my dream, I think.
