00:00It's a tough challenge because they are doing really good from last few games and they are back in form as well so it's a tough game for us but it's a tough game for us but it's an afternoon game and we think it's all batters game as you've seen so I hope so that the ballers also get something in tomorrow's afternoon game, maybe a little dry or something like that.
00:30Ravi, LSG spinners are second most successful after Chennai Super Kings this season. What could be the reason pitches have been helpful or the batsmen are not able to read your spinners?
00:45No, but you're not telling the spinners are bowling good. You're just saying wickets and batsmen are not playing. The bowlers are also bowling good means Rati you've seen is bowling good in his first year and we as a bowler spin unit is working hard on ourselves because you know the game has changed all of a sudden. It's a batter's game now. So we're trying hard to deceive the batsmen as well. Thank you.
01:09Ravi, this season has been peculiar because 60-70 to even 80% of the matches scores have been very high. Earlier it was 160, 170, 180, 90, 200. So what sort of difference do you see in the batsmen actually in the power play as well as later their attitude approach? Are they taking more risks?
01:28100%. They started taking more risks and as everybody knows that impact rule has also supported the batsmen means they can come and hit freely because they know there's one more batsman coming. There are always extra batsmen in the side. So that can be more of an advantage to the batsmen. Even the team bowling second started defending as well because of that. So the impact player has played a huge role in this high score and maybe defending as well.
01:57Having said that, would you say just Mumbai Indians have used Roy Sharma as an impact player very well?
02:04They are. I mean, sir. He's doing really well and it's good for us as well. I mean, it's good for Indian cricket as well. He's doing really well.
02:10Also, there's two questions. First of all, how are you eating yourself in 2020? You're doing a little stop and start. How are you eating your career graph?
02:28No, it's very good, the franchise has also been grateful to me and they've shown the faith in me.
02:41So it's been a good graph, up and downs, it's a part of cricketing career, any sport,
02:45so it's up and downs, but I've been patient and I'm working on my skills and my process.
02:52I really don't know, you can ask the next guy who comes in.
03:02Ravi, there's a lot of competition in the spinners, Akshay is very good, and also the spinners.
03:10So how do you see that in which way, because it's a challenge, I mean, Varun Chakrati has seen that in the Champions Drophy,
03:15and they've played a big ball, so how do you do that for yourself?
03:19No, it's good for Indian cricket overall, because Indian cricket will grow, because as much competition there will be a lot of cricket will develop.
03:26It's a healthy competition, jisko bhi mohka milra, they're doing good, so just wait for your turn,
03:32and whenever you get the chance, make most of it.
03:35So pressure is the pressure?
03:36No, no, there's no pressure, because IPL is there, means you get opportunities to prove yourself,
03:41and when you get your chance, so I think you need to prove up, means open Indian cricket to me.
03:47Ravi, individually as a bowler, ap kya zyada rate kartein?
03:50Containing the batsman more, apher wicket lena, kisi ke particular wicket pe, jase condition kush mil gai,
03:55or jab run par jate to how, kitna aapne aapko strong rakhna torohi rata hai internally ki,
04:00aaj run chale ga, backchapki nahi jane chahiye te in se wicket pe, in sari situations mein kya plan rata hai?
04:05Maitolab, match ka tempo, mere sab se jyada matter karta hai, apko wickets ke liye jana hai,
04:10ya piri run rokne jana hai, means if defending a small total, then you should go for wickets,
04:15a big total hai, you know kai risk lane se koi matolab ni hai, if we give less runs,
04:19then that could have help our team as well, and run jate hai, it's a batters game, we know,
04:24so, we need to have a big heart as a bowler, we need to come back strong in the next game.
04:29Hai Ravi, surya jese bestman ke liye bowling rana kena difficult hai, or kya uske liye special plan karna possible?
04:37As you know, he can play shots all around the field, so it's tough to bowl him,
04:43and there's always a plan, so we need to execute that, then I can come and tell you that was the plan.
04:48Can I say about Rati and what makes him click in this...
04:55Sorry?
04:57Rati, Rati, Rati the bowler?
04:59Rati.
04:59Rati, Rati, okay, yeah, Adhigwesh Singh Rati, so what has made him click in his first IPL season,
05:05and how is it bowling with him and...
05:07No, it's bowling, I mean, uske saath Pathashi mein bowling kerna bada achai, as uska confidence,
05:12I'm telling, if you want to play cricket, you should have the Rati's confidence in you,
05:16means being a bowler, you need to have that confidence, his confidence is the most successful key for him,
05:22means that making him to get successful hai, he's always there for the battle,
05:27whenever you give him the ball in the power play, in the death, he's always there.
