00:00So we are here to cover the finale of GITKL and it's thrilling. I mean the match just got over of the women's team I have here with me standing Preeti Rathi from Haryana.
00:27She is the first ever winning coach of GIPKL women's team. I am very happy that Tamil Lions got the reward for all the hard work.
00:36First of all, I have to know that when the match started, Telugu Panthers will kill.
00:44Was it growing up?
00:46Look, my heart was growing, but I was full of trust in my team.
00:51Because my team was practicing two or three days from the morning and the evening.
00:56So I had to practice and it had to come.
00:59And the rest of all, I was very confident that my team will win.
01:04I was very proud of it.
01:05The atmosphere was very emotionally charged.
01:08The other team had a lot of crying.
01:11It was going to be a celebration.
01:13What do you have to do as a coach?
01:16How to celebrate with the team?
01:18How do you feel?
01:19Look, we are thinking that the win team's win is me, who I own is myself?
01:25And Telugu was also my children.
01:27Because we are from our state, we are playing with us, we know everyone.
01:31So we will celebrate together.
01:32This is not that we will celebrate together by ourselves.
01:35We will also get together with them and the team's too.
01:38There is a very special message there from Preeti Rati that they don't celebrate themselves, they will also celebrate with them, they will also celebrate with them.
01:47It is very humbling.
01:49You have also called your family and told you that we have won the match.
01:54I was watching my family live match, so they gave me the message first to the Congress.
01:59What was going on in the beach? What was going on in the beach? What was going on in the beach?
02:08I was like our leader. They told us that we don't have to reduce our lead, we have to increase. So play safe and lead.
02:16The last match was quite easy. I was seeing that the players were just trying to kill the time and win the match.
02:22What was going on in that time?
02:24I was just good.
02:27We have with us Preeti Rati and congratulations once again and thank you so much for speaking.
