00:00Thank you very much, sir. I wanted to say that when the schedule was decided, I always thought that the semi-final would not be able to get the final in any way.
00:08Because the final is our previous year, which is the 19th November, where the final is a different beast.
00:14So that was a bit of a fear. So I wanted to say that you can win the semi-final in any way and get the semi-final in any way, Australia will be very easy to get the final in any way.
00:23And the extra ballers, like Varun Chakravarti, that's also a trump card. You had to try everything, everything you had to do.
00:32You have a proper squad in the final or semi-final in any way. So I'm very happy to say that you can win the race in any way.
00:42You have won the 2013 championship without a match. So you can win it without a match.
00:48Thank you very much.
00:50Very excited, actually, you know, defending this kind of total. You know, I was thinking, actually, India was like, you know, half the inning, I thought India was like 20 runs short of a par score.
01:00But, you know, I think, you know, facing India's quality of, you know, spin baller on this kind of track was very difficult, you know.
01:07And Williamson was a lone warrior, you know, and then in the end he gave up as well, you know.
01:12Fantastic. And Varun Chakravarti, you know, would have come back for him, you know.
01:15The 2021 World Cup, same ground, Varun Chakravarti, he was booed by, I think it was Salman Badd who said we can find, you know, Varun Chakravarti kind of baller in every street of Pakistan.
01:26Remember that? And now he's coming back with the five wickets all, you know.
01:29So fantastic effort by India, good bowling backs, Jodeja, amazing, you know, and Aksar especially, you know, I mean, he is like a proper all-rounder now, you know, I would say betting all-rounder, you know.
01:41So it was an amazing effort from India. Now they have to go and beat Australia, you know, in semifinal, I think.
01:46I think, you know, seeing the slow and spinning track of the way, I would actually give India Edge, you know, in semifinal.
01:56I think they should beat Australia and play final now.
02:01What to say about this match? Like, when I came for the second inning and I was working for my first shift and I thought that we will not make it.
02:09But it was a really exciting match today. And what to say about our players? They are fantastic.
02:14And I'm very much sure that this year we will lift the trophy. Hip hip hooray. India and India.
02:21We will win. The champion trophy is ours.
02:23I wanted to see the semifinal India versus Australia. Now, you know, 2023, ODI World Cup, the same rivalry is back.
02:31This time, Australia, Kangaroos, you'll go in a losing way.
02:35seriously I'm very happy because I wanted India versus Australia in semi-final not in final
02:40which is going to happen now so I loved it and you know Kiwi is always good team but this time
02:46I knew that India will win but now India versus Australia semi-final I loved it and thank you
