00:01I didn't do anything in my balling.
00:03Like, I had a major injury.
00:06I was out of cricket for 5-6 months.
00:09So, the normal body will adapt.
00:12And it will take its own time.
00:14So, I feel like I need time to give my balling to my body.
00:17So, the speed is back.
00:19I thought that you saw the balling at the speed.
00:26You saw the performance of the speed.
00:30So, what is the strategy of this match?
00:34I don't have a drastic change.
00:39My focus is what I used to do.
00:41I have a lot of time.
00:45I have a lot of time.
00:46The intensity, the pressure, the match pressure.
00:49I have not seen from the board time.
00:51So, it is very normal.
00:53If my body responds differently.
00:56So, I feel very normal.
00:58Especially after a major injury.
01:00So, I don't have a different mindset or intent.
01:05My intent will be the same.
01:07But, what happens when you read wickets or batsmen
01:12will be a major change.
01:14So, how will you look at this match?
01:17So, what goes on, is that the match is good.
01:18You're looking at the outcome of the confidence.
01:19It's all difficult to return.
01:20Has that much of a casual team,
01:21You're looking at the ended-up.
01:22What is the feeling,
01:23You're looking at LF TK?
01:24I see, what happens when you look at the end of the match.
01:26So, that the match is a lot of meetings.
01:27The results are very late,
01:28and they have had the same competition.
01:29So, I think that the match is very late.
01:32I think we have had some mistakes.
01:35I think we had a little late wickets or ground that we had a little late in the game.
01:40I think that we had a little mistakes, so I'll accept that.
01:45But I feel like we still have three matches and if we win that,
01:49there might be a chance where we can make it to a playoff.
01:54Last year, you were a match for last year.
01:57Last year, you were a match for last year.
01:59Do you feel like you were a match for last year?
02:02Maybe.
02:04Do you feel like you were a match for last year?
02:07I don't have a match for last year.
02:11Yesterday, we had a practice here.
02:14So, if you were a match for the wicket,
02:17you would have just made a plan.
02:20Did you prepare for last year,
02:23or do you have a match for last year?
02:27My USP and I feel like
02:33I don't have a match for the wicket.
02:35I don't have a match for every wicket.
02:37You can use your ball in every wicket.
02:40So, it's just me.
02:41I feel like the wicket we got yesterday,
02:43and the best ball that I can do,
02:45I'll put it more than that.
02:46You know,
02:47I've noticed that you are a match for last year.
02:50You know,
02:51I've noticed that,
02:52you can know,
02:53you can know some of their problems,
02:54mental state.
02:55It feels that pressure is really getting
02:56really up.
02:57It feels like,
02:58it's 27 crore pressure,
02:59it's the expectations of the pressure,
03:00it's not a problem.
03:02You can know,
03:03Can you tell us about the second thing about the time in the NC and the Center of Excellence?
03:08Can you tell us about the process?
03:10Because the judgment will come and the speed will not come.
03:15It will take time and then the time will come.
03:17Can you tell us about two things?
03:19I know that we played the same club in Delhi.
03:23But when I talk about them, I don't feel like they have pressure or something.
03:29Everybody confidently talk to me about the game, about the situation, about the batsmen.
03:34So, I don't feel like they have pressure or something to talk about.
03:41What do you think of the Center of Excellence?
03:43The Center of Excellence was very good.
03:47I have been working with the trainer and the physiologist.
03:51It was very helpful to me.
03:53And it was very important to me that if I play in IPL or tournament or not, it was not confirmed.
03:59So, we just tried to make sure that if we can do it, then it was successful.
04:05It was very good.
04:07Two last questions.
04:08I have been working with the team and the team.
04:10But when you were in the team, you would have to do the same thing.
04:12You would have to do the same thing with the variations.
04:14So, what about your team?
04:16What are you doing at MCA?
04:18I do not.
04:19I was doing the same thing with slow rounds.
04:21I did the same thing with variation.
04:22I did the same thing in the last year.
04:24I didn't need to do that.
04:25I played two or four matches.
04:28The main demand was the same thing.
04:31I used to put a good ball and a good ball.
04:33So, I didn't have to use variation.
04:35Last question.
04:46Team matches are key.
04:49Team matches are key.
04:51Match, you have to be creative.
04:56You have to be creative.
04:58What do you think about team matches?
05:02What do you think about team matches?
05:05What do you think about team matches?
05:09My team.
05:12My or team?
05:13My?
05:14My mindset is that I can contribute to the team.
05:18In the last match, my spell was especially expensive.
05:21And I always think that if I am balling,
05:26I would like to be a striker and wicket-taking bowler.
05:31So I would like to contribute to the team.
