00:00Deepak, another great day, six in a row, that's like another perfect day in the office, so talk us about the performance, especially the guys out front, Rohit Sharma also performed, so what was the key to the recipe?
00:13I think we're playing good cricket as a unit and everybody in the form, including bowlers and batsmen, everybody has performed in the last eight to nine matches and obviously when you're performing as a team and then you as a player have the confidence, you know.
00:29Even as a batter or bowler, you know everybody is in the form and then you can take the extra time when you're batting or when you're bowling, so I think it's just the collective teamwork and everybody is in the form that gives a lot of confidence to everybody.
00:41You're top of the table right now as things stand, so do you see the momentum being building up on and where do you see firmly in the playoff races, so what is the morale in the team like at the moment?
00:52So I think it's good to be on the top, obviously when you finish on top two you get an extra chance, so obviously all the teams who are playing want to finish in top two and I think the momentum is with us and as a player and as a team you focus on the particular game, winning and losing is the end result and you focus on the game and match to match, so obviously the momentum is with us and we're focusing on the next game.
01:18Deepak, how is your experience especially when you are going to try out, especially you, Omra and the goal?
01:27Yeah, I think it's very different and you know as a bowler when you're bowling with world class partners, I think it becomes easy for you because you know as a bowler if you have a bad over and then that bad over is backed by a brilliant over at a wicket, then it's an easy job for me again to come and bowl to the new better right?
01:47So bowling with world class ballers, those who have consistently done well in international cricket and IPL obviously it's helping me and when you bowl as a bowling unit it becomes difficult for the other team also.
01:59How do you expect me?
02:08I think you can expect me to do something in the last game, but in the last game they played really good cricket, they played a really good cricket. They chased me by 200 runs.
02:15And as a balling unit, a baller, you plan match first.
02:19So our plans were ready, we were ready with our plans,
02:23and we decided to execute it.
02:25In the match, obviously, you don't think we will win 100 runs,
02:27we will win 50 runs,
02:29but if we win one run, we will win.
02:31I think our focus is that we will execute it.
02:35Jeeapak, this is Suhas from Timesabudia.
02:38Of all the hype around Vaipos Gurevashi,
02:41how do you plan his victory?
02:44Can you describe the first 2-3 balls?
02:47In fact, only 2 balls he plays.
02:49How do you describe his wicket?
02:51Do you plan that wicket or if it just happened that he missed the ball?
02:58I think he played a breathtaking knock last night,
03:02whenever RR played.
03:04So there is a pattern to every batsman,
03:07somewhere he is strong, somewhere he will be weak.
03:09So as a baller and as a unit,
03:11we decide and make plans to every better,
03:14not just him.
03:15But yeah, sometimes the plan works,
03:17sometimes it doesn't work.
03:18So today it went our way, we were lucky.
03:20But you know, he is a good talent,
03:22and I think he will do well in the coming future.
03:25I think the captain and management call,
03:27I don't want to decide who is going to play.
03:28But yeah,
03:29I think the captain and management call,
03:30I don't want to decide who is going to play.
03:32But yeah,
03:33he is a great baller.
03:34I played him in the net.
03:35I have played him in the net.
03:36He has a great variation in his experience.
03:37So if he will play,
03:38I think he will do well in IPA.
03:39I think he will do well in IPA.
03:40I think he will do well in IPA.
