00:00He appreciates it a lot. He talked to him. He even remembered him.
00:04He was a netballer once.
00:06The way he played in the World Cup, he has a class.
00:09The way he hit a six during the match.
00:11I don't think any other player can hit a six like that.
00:14If Dinesh Kartik or Pandya had hit it, it would have been hard.
00:18But Colin has hit it. He has a different class.
00:30Let's go, Dinesh. Let's go, Dinesh.
00:35Let's go, Dinesh. Let's go, Dinesh.
01:01In the last two overs of the World Cup match in Dubai,
01:04you gave only 10 runs against India.
01:07Do you think you could have defended the ball
01:11with a Yorker or a bouncer or are you satisfied with your plan
01:14when you had to defend the last 28 runs against Pakistan?
01:20I scored 31 runs in the last 12 overs.
01:24I scored three in the last four overs.
01:26I knew I had to play in the next over against Nawaz Nehwar.
01:31He's a spinner. I tried to leave four big bounties for him.
01:35I tried to leave at least 20 runs for him.
01:38I missed 28 runs in the last eight overs.
01:40I had scored three slow ones before that and they were deceived.
01:44I had scored one fast ball in the last four overs.
01:48I scored three slow ones. I tried to do it again.
01:50I wanted to hit a slow one.
01:52The bounty was a bit big.
01:53I had the idea that he could hit it straight.
01:56When he hit it straight, it was his class.
01:58My execution was fine.
02:02He played a shot and that was his class.
02:04Haris, before playing for Pakistan,
02:06when you were playing for the big batch,
02:07you bowled against some Indian players, Virat Kohli, in the nets.
02:11Is it true that they got to know what you do in the nets?
02:16Was Virat Kohli's performance against India a big factor?
02:20No, it's not true.
02:22I was in Australia. I was bowled against in Sydney.
02:24I interacted with the Indian team for the first time.
02:27I was playing in the club as a grade one player in Sydney.
02:32I bowled against them in the fourth test match of India.
02:38Obviously, you learn a lot from bowling against big players.
02:42In the last World Cup and the French Cup,
02:46you meet people like Hardik Pandya and Rahul.
02:49They are very happy.
02:50Ravi Shastri, who was their coach,
02:52we meet him and he says,
02:55a net bowler like you came to us
02:58and the way you are bowling in the World Cup
03:01and that's your name.
03:02When we see you, we are very happy.
03:06He has seen your success.
03:10He appreciates all that.
03:12Virat also appreciates it a lot.
03:15He talked to him and he remembered
03:18that you were a net bowler once.
03:19The way he bowled in the World Cup,
03:21he has a class and everyone knows how he plays shots.
03:25The way he bowled a six during the match,
03:29I don't think any other player can do that.
03:32If Dinesh Karthik or Pandya had hit me,
03:35it would have been hard.
03:36But Colin has hit me, so he has a different class.
