00:00I love cricket.
00:03Cricket entered my life at the age of 44, when most sports people retire from sports.
00:13Mukesh had bought this team, Mumbai Indians, and it had all the big stars in it.
00:21And yet we were at the bottom of the table.
00:24I went there just to motivate the team.
00:27I said, you know, they're doing so bad, so badly, and someone needs to be there saying,
00:32it's okay, it's okay.
00:34I decided to sit in the dugout with all the players.
00:37I don't know why I had the strange idea that I should sit there.
00:41So next to me was the legend Sachin Tendulkar.
00:49And on the other side was Zaheer Khan.
00:52I looked at Sachin and said, please tell me, why is this bowler taking such a long run up?
01:02And why is this bowler taking such a short run up?
01:05He had to tell me that one is a pacer and one is a spinner.
01:11I was such a, I mean, I felt so idiotic at that time to ask all these questions.
01:18Today, I'm going to show off.
01:22I know a leg spin, I know an off spin, I know a wrist spin, I know a googly.
01:27I know a shot.
01:29How did you get involved in cricket?
01:32And what, from that, how have you made Mumbai Indians one of the most successful teams?
01:42This answer is going to be a little long, is that okay?
01:46I love cricket.
01:50Well, cricket entered my life at the age of 44, when most sports people retire from sports.
02:01Mukesh had bought this team, Mumbai Indians, and it had all the big stars in it.
02:10And yet we were at the bottom of the table.
02:13I can see Ashish Chauhan right here, he knows this.
02:17So, they were playing in South Africa, and I went there just to motivate the team.
02:25I said, you know, they're doing so badly, and someone needs to be there saying, it's okay, it's okay.
02:34So I landed in Cape Town, that's where we were playing at that time.
02:48And I decided to sit in the dugout with all the players.
02:54I don't know why I had this strange idea that I should sit there.
02:57So next to me was the legend Sachin Tendulkar.
03:05And on the other side was Zaheer Khan.
03:12And I was watching this match, and then I just couldn't, I'm a very curious person and I can't stop asking questions.
03:20So I looked at Sachin and said, please tell me, why is this bowler taking such a long run up?
03:32And why is this bowler taking such a short run up?
03:35So he had to tell me that one is a pacer and one is a spinner.
03:42I was such a, I mean, I felt so idiotic at that time to ask all these questions.
03:50But today I'm going to show off.
03:53I know a leg spin, I know a off spin, I know a wrist spin, I know a googly.
04:00I know exactly where the ball is going to hit and what the batsman is going to do with that.
04:09And that's what cricket has done to me.
04:12It has brought this extreme love for sport in my life.
04:18Another thing we do well at Mumbai Indians is that we call ourselves one family.
04:26So the year I took over, in 2010, we started with a bond to win camp.
04:33Where everybody came together and we were talking about how the team comes before self.
04:40And how are you going to do that because we had so many stalwarts in our team.
04:46And everybody had to share a room.
04:48So my son Akash got to share a room with a cricketer called Ambati Raidu.
04:54So I think this feeling of one family was inculcated since then.
