00:00World Cup 83 World Championship 85 this is as big or even bigger if you ask me which moment is more emotional
00:07I would say this one
00:20I'll tell you how satisfying it is for me
00:23World Cup 83 World Championship 85
00:27This is as big or even bigger because this is in the truest format of the game
00:32Let's test cricket, which is meant to be the toughest. I was part of the 2011 World Cup winning team
00:40But I did not have
00:42the emotion of not having been able to win a World Cup before and
00:48Playing at home and you know winning it eventually a lot of the senior players in the team had that emotion
00:55So for them it was you know, it hit them really hard as to what we had achieved
01:00Yes, it was a great moment for me to be a part of but if you ask me which moment is more emotional
01:05I would say this one because this is my third tour here and I I have seen
01:10With experience and you know being in the field how difficult it is to win here
01:18Started his journey four years ago five years ago here on in Australia
01:23And he's been around the globe captaining the site I don't think anyone plays test match cricket with more passion than he does
01:31But he's I don't see any other international captain coming close to him on the field when you come to
01:38Show that passion that is needed, you know to play the game
01:42He's very expressive which is different from other personalities other captains could have different
01:47Personalities but Virat is someone in your face and it rubs off on all the youngsters who are watching the game in India
01:54his entire teammates that watch him they want to emulate him and
01:59to believe that
02:00They can be someone like him who can go out there and strive for excellence all the
02:05Struggles that we've gone through in the past 12 months as well as a team
02:08So from that point of view this one is more emotional to me. So it definitely will be more special
02:14Purely because of the fact that you know, we really badly wanted to win a series away from home
02:18We didn't want to be a one-match wonder kind of a team
