00:00But yeah, it's a very horrible face.
00:30For this particular ball, I was trying to catch it, basically.
00:45But then I realized, yeah, it's falling a little bit short, a few yards short, and the
00:50fielder is trying to catch it.
00:51And yeah, it's a straightforward catch, he's well balanced, he's in the position, he's
00:55not moving.
00:56But he spilled it.
00:59And at the point in time, the match was getting away from us.
01:04I think Warner had already scored a century by that time.
01:08So it was a really disappointing moment.
01:10I'm not a raggar by nature, so I don't curse as well.
01:14And particularly, I knew that Asif at that time had gone to a personal strategy as well.
01:22So I didn't want to curse him at that time.
01:25But I really felt like so.
01:27But held my own and just that happened.
01:39My friends started calling me up, okay, yay, we saw you up.
01:44And the channel showed you, I said, yeah, very good.
01:49Send me the pictures.
01:50I can't see it.
01:51Please, please, please.
01:52I was, in fact, the other way around, I was asking them to send me their pictures.
01:56But then all within a few minutes of time, the memes started coming up.
02:56My wife is still probably one who feels embarrassed.
03:24My eldest son who doesn't like me to appear on ads.
03:28I've just done one ad, but they said, no, go back to your day job.
03:32We don't want to see you on television.
03:35My younger one is excited.
03:37He tells me that I get recognized when I go to his school and his friends tell me that,
03:43oh, he's the mean guy.
03:54Enjoy your few seconds of me, a few seconds of fame.
04:22Don't let it go to your head.
04:23Be humble as always, or be normal as always.
