00:00I'm just asking, as a viewer, as a fan, you never show any emotion.
00:04Sometimes you've taken like three big hits in an over and there's just,
00:07I mean, it's almost like you give the five like you've been forced to give five.
00:10It was like my only wrestle comes with a big, you know, chest out and all that and you're like.
00:15Growing up, a lesson from my dad is that if you get someone out today,
00:20you still have to play them tomorrow or next time.
00:23So don't overdo it.
00:23I think it's just enjoy the moment as much as you can, but not overdo it.
00:30So apparently, Gautam pushed for you, Sunil, we already asked him this question.
00:51And the reason why he pushed for you in 2012, and it's a great story,
00:54is because he said, this is the guy I can't read and I can't, you know,
00:57it's the bowler I don't want to face.
00:59Yeah, I think we played my first international ODI tour.
01:03And I think that's where he faced you.
01:06Yeah, I think the class of the individual, if he's struggling a bit,
01:11then I think you're doing a good job.
01:14And in saying that, I think he has a good cricketing brain as well.
01:17Sunil was named after a famous Indian personality.
01:21Sunil Gavaskar.
01:22Correct, right?
01:23Yeah.
01:23And I think your dad wanted you to be a bat as well.
01:25Yeah, so he followed Sunil Gavaskar.
01:27He had books on him.
01:29Yeah.
01:29And I have a bigger sister, and he nearly named her Sunil.
01:32Because he was so in love with his cricket, and he just wanted us
01:36to try to walk in the same footsteps and play cricket as well.
01:41Against which team did Sunil make his test debut?
01:43That's a bit tough.
01:44Okay, we have to help.
01:46Let's help.
01:46Bangladesh?
01:47No, but they speak...
01:50Oh, England.
01:51That's right.
01:51I was about to...
01:53In England.
01:54England.
01:54England, right?
01:55Yeah.
01:55How many...
01:56Oh, nice.
01:57How many sports cars does Sunil own currently?
02:00Oh, you know?
02:02Andrey's counting on his fingers.
02:03He's running out of fingers.
02:05How much money you got, brother?
02:07Four.
02:08Four sports cars?
02:10Three.
02:11Any other cars?
02:12Yeah, well...
02:16So how many totally?
02:17Seven.
02:18Andrey, can you match that?
02:19Mr. Helicopter, seven cars, three or four sports cars, three and a half, let's say.
02:24Why are you blushing about this?
02:26I have like three cars.
02:29I bought a car of him.
02:30Did he give you a discount?
02:31Yeah.
02:33How do you know?
02:33Brother price.
02:34He's smiling.
02:36He made sure his margin for the chips and the snacks was there and he sold it.
02:40So is it true that Sunil likes to party back home?
02:43Like he changes personality and he's quite wild on the floor and everything else.
02:46But in India, he keeps his low profile.
02:49It all depends on the music, I think.
02:50Who is it?
02:51Yeah, it would be more comfortable back home in his space.
02:54Let's put this challenge out there for KKR and for Sunil Narayan to go berserk on the
02:58dance floor.
02:58We need dancehall, we need reggae, we need western and stuff.
03:01Is that correct?
03:02No.
03:06This is Andrey Russell getting a trim.
03:09Not just a trim, proper styling, is it?
03:11How do you trust him?
03:12With due respect, he's an off spinner.
03:16You know, when you're on tour and you're in certain places, you don't really trust
03:22certain barbers to cut your hair because, you know, my hair is different.
03:26So, you know, he said, I can do it.
03:29I was like, what?
03:30But he did a decent job the first time and he keeps getting better.
03:35Now, he has his full kit and, you know, I know if I need a haircut.
03:39That's why you want the helicopters.
03:40You can fly him from Trinidad to Jamaica and fly him back.
03:44Yes.
03:44All right.
03:45I mean, it's something to look at, you know, post-cricket as well.
03:48Maybe a chain of famous, Ben Arians or whatever.
03:51We'll have a nice name.
03:52I'm sure it'll work out.
03:54Although you guys have been, I think, what?
03:552012, 2014, was it?
03:59Yeah.
03:59What's your memories now?
04:00This is like your second home almost.
04:02You're here every year.
04:03Coming back here is always a warm feeling and you generally enjoy it as much as you can.
04:08And as you said, it's the second home.
04:11Andrey, what about you?
04:13Whenever I land in Calcutta, it's just always the vibes.
04:17You know, in terms of the support staff, you know, the smile on their face.
04:22You know, you can't tell.
04:23That's the Indian thing.
04:24We just smile because life sucks.
04:25There's no option now.
04:27We're given the smile or die.
04:28It's like this.
04:29We just keep smiling.
04:30Who are you, man?
04:32I'm not very popular.
04:33You're so mean.
