00:00It's tough to answer that one but I think, I felt we had the pass score.
00:05The way the wicket played it wasn't an easy surface to score.
00:08The ball was keeping low and it was slow on the slower side.
00:12So I thought we posted pass score but then I think they had an exceptional power play
00:17and dropping those catches didn't really help so I think that was the turning point.
00:21Vikram Bhai, the start was very good.
00:26The start was good.
00:27The start was good.
00:28But we didn't have any score that we were thinking about.
00:33But after the balling, we didn't see what was happening behind us.
00:37How are we looking at it?
00:39As I said before, the wicket was not easy.
00:42The ball was low and low.
00:45It got slightly better.
00:47The surface got slightly improved at night.
00:49So, in the betting, I thought that 170 was pass score.
00:54Because when we were talking about battles,
00:57they thought that if we can get 170-180,
01:00so that will be a challenging score.
01:02But again, as I said before, if you drop so many catches,
01:05it's sometimes tough to come back from that.
01:07Sir, don't you think we were slightly 20-25 runs short?
01:13In the hindsight, you can always say that.
01:16But as I said earlier, it felt like when the game was on and when we were batting,
01:21that 170 would be a good score.
01:23And about Nitish Rana, he played just one ball.
01:27Don't you think we wasted him?
01:30I mean, anybody who had walked in at that point,
01:33if it was say Dhruv or Haiti, they would have been wasted.
01:36I mean, you can't help that.
01:37Somebody has to bat at that number as well.
01:39The idea of delaying Nitish was we wanted to have that right-left combination
01:44when we were batting and we wanted it to go as long as we can.
01:47And that is why we had to change his batting order.
01:51So I won't put it beyond us.
02:06We are capable of winning the remaining games and doing really well.
02:23So back us.
02:25Why would you play a good match and try to win?
02:28I don't know how much the game was going to be.
02:30How do I understand?
02:32I don't understand.
02:35Sir, you have to release the game.
02:37I don't know how much the game was released.
02:39Sir, I don't know how much the game was released.
02:41I don't know how much the game was released before the game was released.
02:44If we can keep everyone, we must keep it.
02:46But if we don't know how much the game was released.
02:48And when we released the game was released,
02:50we couldn't have enough money for the team to win.
02:53So that was always the challenge.
02:55And the team that we got and we got,
02:57I think this is a really, really good team.
02:59It's a good performance.
03:00If we execute on the day,
03:02the team is very good and capable of winning.
03:05How much the game was released?
03:07How much the game was released?
03:09How much the game was released?
03:11How much the game was released?
03:13Yes, absolutely.
03:14That is what we expected.
03:16So that's why,
03:17the score was good.
03:18It was a par score.
03:20If it was 10-15 runs,
03:22it would be good.
03:23But it was a par score.
03:24But, again,
03:25it didn't go well in the field and in the bowling.
03:28Last question please.
03:29How much the game was released?
03:31I didn't know.
03:33I didn't know.
03:34I didn't work with them last year.
03:36I didn't remember.
03:38Again,
03:39they are very good players.
03:40They are very good players.
03:41They are very good players.
03:42They are very good players.
03:43So,
03:44I know,
03:45leaving them,
03:46leaving them,
03:47leaving them,
03:48leaving them,
03:49leaving them,
03:50leaving them,
03:51leaving them.
03:52So,
03:53I think,
03:54we are very happy with the players that we have retained.
03:57But,
03:58there is a little time in the performance.
03:59Sir,
04:00would you consider reaching the batting order in the coming games?
04:03Again,
04:04betting order is completely based on what situation the team is at that point.
04:08So,
04:09different players can walk in at different times.
04:11And,
04:12there is no set betting order in T2T,
04:13I feel.
04:14There are,
04:15entry points for every player.
04:17So,
04:18if that entry point is there and the,
04:20you know,
04:21the matchup is right with the bowler,
04:22right bowler,
04:23then anybody can walk in at any point.
04:25That's right.
04:26Excuse me sir.
04:272008,
04:28when Rajasthan Royals won the first cup.
04:29After that,
04:30when Rajasthan,
04:31they want to win their team.
04:33So,
04:34what do we do not have to make such a strategy?
04:37And,
04:38if we make it,
04:39where do we make it?
04:40Again,
04:41as such,
04:42there is nothing in the department.
04:43There is nothing to do.
04:44There is nothing to do.
04:45There is nothing to do.
04:46There is nothing to do.
04:47There is nothing to do.
04:48Cricket is one of the games,
04:50where on a certain day,
04:51if a other team plays good,
04:53we are seeing that
04:55every team is getting defeated.
04:57So,
04:58there is nothing to do.
04:59There is nothing to do.
05:00There is nothing to do.
05:01There is nothing to do.
05:02So,
05:03on a certain day,
05:04you can win against any other team.
05:05So,
05:06as I said,
05:07the team is good.
05:08If we execute,
05:09we will do better.
05:10Last question.
05:11Do you have to fight the team?
05:13Will it be effective?
05:14Will the team be effective?
05:15Will the teams be done in front of you?
05:16If you do have a power lead then they can take over you.
05:17I think,
05:18the team will take its time.
05:19The team will break.
05:20That's the mark that they can do.
05:22The team will break.
05:23Achilles can take their time.
05:24It will take his time.
05:25No.
05:26I know,
05:27but he is giving his best.
05:28He is there.
05:29He is doing his best,
05:29while he is there.
05:31No.
05:32He is doing his best and he is working there.
05:33He is also working on his own work.
05:34That's what I do.
05:35All right.
05:36All right.
05:37All right,
05:38All right.
05:39All right.
