00:00I have not seen the view right now. I will go and see it down. Hopefully we have our areas to cover.
00:10So let's see what we can do tactically.
00:13Next question.
00:20Hi sir. Sir, you are working with Yusvendra Chahal and he has kind of gotten his form back.
00:29So if you have to talk a bit about Yusvendra Chahal's class and how he was dealing when he was not getting wickets and how his confidence has picked up since the match against KKR only.
00:40I think Yusvendra Chahal is the highest wicket-taker in the IPL history.
00:44Number one and the big players, big match players doesn't need to remind them what they are capable and they can make a difference.
00:52It's just the confidence, you know, talking to them and bowling in the right areas which he has shown, he has come back very stronger.
01:00Thank you so much.
01:02Next question.
01:04Now, Srinthi, Priyansh Arya's performance, how did he develop your performance?
01:12Priyansh Arya is one of the find of the season for Kings and for the IPL as well.
01:18When we were looking at domestic talent, we were interested in playing his talent.
01:26And when he came to the Trials, the Kings came to the Trials.
01:30We were looking at him on that.
01:32So, it's a good thing.
01:34He is in our team.
01:35So, long way.
01:36He is very good talent.
01:37I'm sure that coming years he would represent the country.
01:41Sir.
01:42So, let me talk about Srinthi Shreya.
01:45He is probably the best player in the spin as far as the IPL is concerned.
01:50But his improvement in his pace of play.
01:53Can you please talk us through about his improvement in his pace of play and the work that was done by Andy?
02:01I think if you look back Srinthi Shreya's contribution the last eight to ten months,
02:06from the Champions Trophy.
02:09Playing not only against fast bowling, playing against spin has become more consistent.
02:14He has shown the hunger and he is ready to accept every challenge he comes across.
02:20For any player for that caliber, you accept every challenge, every ball.
02:26I'm sure that he has done some great work behind the scenes which is giving him in front of the scenes.
02:33So, that's very happy and not only good news, I think it's a good momentum to carry forward as a leader as well.
02:40Just a follow up question and it is not related to IPL.
02:44Do you think this form that he is in and the batting he has been throwing,
02:49it could take him to the testers in England also?
02:52I think let's keep it to the IPL stuff only because I am not the right representative to talk about the Indian team. Thank you.
03:05Do you think that it would be once again a low scoring match?
03:10I don't know, after looking at the wicket I can tell you.
03:14So far I will look at the wicket.
03:17But I am sure what we have seen in the last game against GAT and KKR must be the same.
03:23See if the same wicket, more or less the same score, similar score.
03:27So, what did you discuss after winning that very close contested match when you met last time against KKR?
03:37I think I still remember I attended the same PC before the match last year.
03:42You know I had the good memories of chasing 262.
03:45So hopefully we will have the same, similar news.
03:48Okay.
03:50Hi, Sandeep here.
03:53Shreyas was the captain of KKR last year.
03:56What sort of inputs are you getting from him ahead of your match at Eden Torrey,
04:01which used to be his home brand at the last year?
04:04I think Shreyas is a young leader and if you look at, you know, he goes to each and every player,
04:11not only the squad player, he goes to even the net bowler, talk to them.
04:15You know, that shows the confidence to each and every member in the team.
04:20And this is a great all mark for a leader to come in future.
04:25That's a genuine, as a leader when you go and speak to the players, especially the net bowlers.
04:33So that means he is concerned about them.
04:35So they are also part of our team.
04:37That shows the caring.
04:39We need caring.
04:40Just this follow-up question then, how is players approaching this particular match?
04:45He was the captain of KKR last year.
04:47I think it's as good as a regular game.
04:49You know, every game is an important game.
04:51Its approach is the same.
04:52You know, we need to go out and play good cricket, play to win.
04:55Sir, the idea of the staff team will also go out and play to win.
05:20I think that the form is necessary to be a player.
05:26Class is a matter of one good game either in a bat or a ball.
05:30Tactically we also have to see which player suits which player suits which opposition suits.
05:36There are many matchups.
05:39So, keep this in mind.
05:41Captain, coach and staff will have better plans.
05:44Hopefully it will come good.
05:50I think it is very hard to do.
05:53You will have to see the result of Punjab and Punjab.
05:58Do you have any questions about this?
06:02No, no.
06:04We have talked about Punjab Kings too.
06:11This is very important.
06:15The whole country, nation, every team is against the test.
06:19The terrorism and we all feel that there are people who have gave their life from Karnataka, Hyderabad, Punjab, Calcutta, Mumbai.
06:31So, we all feel for their families and our deepest condolences towards the family and we are all with them in this pain.
06:40Thank you very much.
06:41Thank you very much.
06:42Don't hold these recommendations.
06:43It is so important.
06:49Thank you very much.
06:50You have to hold these two followers.
06:52There you go.
06:53If they're talking about how to be a member of the Lyra, humans, it's been present.
