00:00We are in a situation right now where obviously we would have liked to have played games, we had momentum but the situation was such that you can't do anything about it. You have to just accept it and move on from there. And we obviously went back, a lot of our players didn't go back, we were training back in Ahmedabad. So we feel that these are the things which are not in your control so you don't want to think about it. At the moment we are playing good cricket and we want to carry on with that.
00:30How do you see the players that are playing with the players that are playing with the players that are playing with the players that are playing with the players?
00:43As I said, this is the situation right now. We all have to accept it and find a way out of it. I can't speak for any other team about which players they are losing or how they are going to cope with it.
00:58But as you said, we are not losing too many players but we are quite okay with whatever the situation is and we are quite confident that the players who will come in will step up and perform for us.
01:09How do you assist him as a captain? How do you assist him as a captain going forward as well? There has been a lot of talk about him being up to the great captain's potential as well. How do you assist him the way he has gone about balancing his batting and guiding other players?
01:32See, he has been fantastic. The way he has been around with the group, I don't think he needs any kind of mention about how well he is batting right now.
01:45And the way he is handling the situation, he is scoring a lot of runs, he has been very good proactive on the field and off the field also, he spends a lot of time with young players.
01:56And I have said this before also, you can feel that Shubhangil is the captain in the dressing room. That is what you want in a leader and that is how he has been.
02:05So, I am sure going forward, whatever the talks is, I think that is something which I cannot comment on it. But Shubhangil as GT captain has been fantastic.
02:16Perfect. Do you think GT's middle order has been tested enough and how do you assess GT's middle order has been tested enough?
02:30See, it depends on how you want to look at this situation, whether glass is half full or half empty. I think we are quite happy the way our top orders have batted.
02:41So, they are not giving them chance to be exposed at the moment. But we are quite happy the way Matlar, Sai Sudarshan and Shubhangil has batted throughout this tournament.
02:51Shubhangil, whenever he has got an opportunity, he has performed as well. Washington Sundar has won us a game in Hyderabad where he scored brilliant 49.
03:00So, you know, obviously we are winning, we are playing well. Once the situation comes in, we feel as a team that our middle order is good enough to perform under pressure.
03:12I think all the players were in our team, they were quite confident and they were quite okay with whatever was happening, the way things were getting handled by the team.
03:27And by the government. So, from our side, none of the players had any kind of concern. They felt absolutely safe. So, there was no concern about it.
03:34Yes, I think coming from the break, you need to have a better balance. So, for us, fortunately, we have good facilities back home in Ahmedabad where we could go there and practice and that's exactly what we could do.
03:49But from our team, I don't think any player felt any kind of pressure from anyone.
04:10I have a question.
04:11I think the question, Indian players, you know, they don't have the situation, they don't have the government to do it.
04:19But what happens when it takes care of the overseas player because they have to go back home?
04:24There is a kind of insecurity that they won't go back. So, in terms of the context of the overseas player, how was it like?
04:33How has the ability managed and how do they have the situation to draw overseas players?
04:37Obviously, our overseas players, as I mentioned, there wasn't much concern about him.
04:42As I said, they were quite okay, they knew what was happening.
04:45There was obviously the proper transparency about the situation, the communication was
04:50bang on.
04:51So there was no question about how they were feeling, they were quite happy with whatever
04:56was happening.
04:57Obviously not the situation but the way communication was happening with them, so we did not have
05:01any concern.
05:02Obviously, playing eleven is something which everyone will decide tomorrow but it's good
05:19to have Rabada back as someone who has done really well, there is no question about the
05:26credential of Kages or Rabada but yeah, that's something which obviously Ashubhman and Ashubha
05:31will sit together and decide about the playing eleven.
05:33Thank you very much.
05:35Do you have any question on水 I mean something FRANCOIS of Sc�ab searcher is going so that
05:38you haven't joined?
05:39It has been really far along.
05:40It has been very deep.
05:41Yesterday I weeks ago I had my travel with Mr. 안jali mentioned, how long did the
05:42individual work have thought?
05:45Soaren Senior Commentery was going on having this conversation, you have given the
05:45individual works, we have done not the whole work.
05:46I mean an organisation thatQL has not come along, so strap Jack going on a couple of
05:47young people.
05:48If I do not lead this sandwich.
05:48OK.
05:49If you don't need the other seats, it is not going on, such an organisation.
05:51How long is itверTurple you?
05:52The extra doplement is inaccuratealy when it comes to 만약e.
05:53The advanced training is helpedundate.
05:55Now we know that he won't be there for playoffs, everyone knows about it.
06:05So for us, the important part is that he's there for the last three games right now.
06:12And then we'll see how the team balance is coming up, what a team combination we want to go in with.
06:20But see, someone like Butler has been a great performer for us, he's kept well, he's someone who's like a leader of the group.
06:27But after that, we'll see once that situation comes in. But as of now, he's there for three games.
06:34What is the case of the team in the last five games?
06:42What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. It's kind of that thing. With the team talks, whatever we do stays in the team room.
06:59But as I said, we did not have any kind of concern. The players were quite happy with the way the communication has happened.
07:08Because the team's of the team is like that.
07:13Not the fans who are with the team, but for the team.
07:19We're very happy.
07:21So we should go back to the team.
07:26We're very happy.
07:28Just a little bit on the team.
07:30We're happy.
07:31That's a special one.
07:32Which one of the teams we've seen a team.
