So 10 00:00:44.560 --> 00:00:46.719 plenty has changed since the last time we were here. 11 00:00:47.240 --> 00:00:48.119 Yeah, you know. 12 00:00:48.240 --> 00:00:50.560 Before we delve into the details of what has changed, 13 00:00:51.000 --> 00:00:53.640 I just want you to, you know, uh, do this 14 00:00:53.679 --> 00:00:58.000 for me. Raise your hand. One of your right hand 15 00:00:58.039 --> 00:01:00.079 is broken. We all know that we can see the 16 00:01:00.359 --> 00:01:02.000 What is that called stint? 17 00:01:02.159 --> 00:01:04.359 Evenquad did that with an injury. 18 00:01:04.560 --> 00:01:06.200 No, no, that's what That's where I'm coming to. Can 19 00:01:06.239 --> 00:01:08.439 you do this? Can you raise both of your hands 20 00:01:08.439 --> 00:01:11.439 and clap? Are you trying to mark my injury? No, 21 00:01:11.599 --> 00:01:12.480 don't take offense. 22 00:01:12.599 --> 00:01:15.519 I can raise my left hand, see sort of the 23 00:01:16.159 --> 00:01:17.920 and if you could clap with one hand, I could 24 00:01:17.920 --> 00:01:19.120 have done that, but I can't. 25 00:01:19.159 --> 00:01:22.239 See the thing is sort of I have a suspicion 26 00:01:22.280 --> 00:01:24.239 that you've been wearing that slint to just to get 27 00:01:24.239 --> 00:01:27.719 off work. You don't want to work, probably because see 28 00:01:27.719 --> 00:01:31.280 there is there are cricketers who have fractures and they're 29 00:01:31.319 --> 00:01:35.680 still you know, cheering playing football. Have you seen that 30 00:01:35.760 --> 00:01:38.599 image of Ruth Aquad you know, using both his hands 31 00:01:38.599 --> 00:01:40.920 to you know, cheer for ms DONI during the match 32 00:01:40.920 --> 00:01:41.879 in Lucknow. 33 00:01:41.840 --> 00:01:42.519 Yeah, I saw it. 34 00:01:42.879 --> 00:01:45.560 But why are you reading too much into it? What's 35 00:01:45.599 --> 00:01:46.200 wrong in that? 36 00:01:46.959 --> 00:01:50.840 Jokes aside sort of you know, genuinely thinking that we'll 37 00:01:50.920 --> 00:01:52.359 take as it's. 38 00:01:52.280 --> 00:01:55.239 Not gonna happen. We know your Mombile loyalties. By the way, 39 00:01:55.239 --> 00:01:56.280 we have to introduce the shub. 40 00:01:56.760 --> 00:01:59.680 He comes into the podcast probably as an impacts up 41 00:02:00.040 --> 00:02:02.959 are mostly yeah, I like your former captain who has 42 00:02:03.000 --> 00:02:05.560 been playing there. He is a huge move Indians fan. 43 00:02:06.159 --> 00:02:09.080 But you know, jokes aside. People have pointed out that 44 00:02:09.120 --> 00:02:12.400 it's a hairline fracture. It's a hairline fracture. Probably he 45 00:02:12.719 --> 00:02:16.719 probably can do that. It's probably not that threatening. We 46 00:02:16.759 --> 00:02:19.280 don't know the signs behind it. But it's been said 47 00:02:19.319 --> 00:02:23.240 that Ruth Rage is out and my Wi is back. 48 00:02:23.360 --> 00:02:26.400 That's something that we did not talk about in the 49 00:02:26.479 --> 00:02:29.000 last episode of Sledging Room podcast because we did not 50 00:02:29.120 --> 00:02:32.159 have an episode last week. That's why plenty has changed 51 00:02:32.199 --> 00:02:36.120 in the IPL season so far. Tele were unbeaten last week, 52 00:02:36.159 --> 00:02:39.400 but they have now faced a defeat. People ruled out 53 00:02:39.479 --> 00:02:43.159 momb Indians and Senneesuku Kings, but they have probably taken 54 00:02:43.199 --> 00:02:46.360 the first step towards you know, redemption and all that. 55 00:02:47.080 --> 00:02:49.479 But SOB, you've been talking about scripts and all that. 56 00:02:50.439 --> 00:02:52.680 Where do you think this IPL is headed? As have 57 00:02:52.719 --> 00:02:56.240 you seen a closer fight than this before? The top 58 00:02:56.280 --> 00:02:59.000 team has eight points right if I'm not wrong? Yeah, 59 00:02:59.039 --> 00:03:02.039 and the bottom team has four points just two wins 60 00:03:02.120 --> 00:03:02.800 other difference. 61 00:03:03.439 --> 00:03:04.319 What do you make of this? 62 00:03:05.560 --> 00:03:08.719 You know, IPL is known to be the most compartitive 63 00:03:08.800 --> 00:03:13.400 league across the world and last year when they were 64 00:03:13.759 --> 00:03:16.199 scores of two thirty two forty getting very common, we 65 00:03:16.280 --> 00:03:19.199 thought that, oh IPL might have lost a charm. We 66 00:03:19.240 --> 00:03:22.280 are not going to see a low scoring getting defended anymore. 67 00:03:22.840 --> 00:03:25.680 But this iplah, especially in the last week so so, 68 00:03:25.800 --> 00:03:28.599 last three or four matches, they haven't sensational. 69 00:03:28.759 --> 00:03:31.520 Yeah, I mean DC choking as Mumbay Indians. 70 00:03:31.520 --> 00:03:35.120 You take that CSK coming back Rishap and not giving 71 00:03:35.479 --> 00:03:38.599 visionary that over and then the biggest of them all, 72 00:03:38.719 --> 00:03:42.000 Manjak is getting bolled out from one one one and 73 00:03:42.039 --> 00:03:46.639 then hell Master Class Marko Yanson Master Class ninety five 74 00:03:46.719 --> 00:03:49.400 all out and KKR fans were all heartbroken. 75 00:03:49.879 --> 00:03:52.560 You know, I am finding a coincidence for Just correct 76 00:03:52.560 --> 00:03:55.199 me if I'm wrong. Okay, the PSL started win a 77 00:03:55.199 --> 00:03:58.240 week ago. Yeah, well the weekend over, wee over the weekend, 78 00:03:58.360 --> 00:04:02.520 yeah till then IPL was given. Okay, okay, matches, Okay, 79 00:04:03.000 --> 00:04:08.400 you know it started with one sided matches. People were saying, Oh, 80 00:04:08.560 --> 00:04:11.599 is the buzz around IPEL not that great? But since 81 00:04:11.639 --> 00:04:14.479 PSL started, yeah, which is a real competity to the 82 00:04:14.520 --> 00:04:17.000 IPL people are talking about let's come back to that later. 83 00:04:17.639 --> 00:04:21.079 But since the PSL started, yeah, the blockbusters have begin. 84 00:04:21.720 --> 00:04:25.000 Is that someone writing these scripts like okay, you saw 85 00:04:25.040 --> 00:04:27.759 Punjab scoring two forty six and losing a match, Now 86 00:04:27.839 --> 00:04:31.199 seas them scoring one hundred and eleven and defending a match. Yeah, 87 00:04:31.240 --> 00:04:34.920 if someone's writing those scripts, send them to Bollywood. 88 00:04:35.000 --> 00:04:38.079 You know, at least make better in the films. 89 00:04:37.399 --> 00:04:40.680 Without a doubt. If somebody is doing it, pretty good job. 90 00:04:41.120 --> 00:04:43.319 Last night, I think it just brought the tournament back alive. 91 00:04:43.560 --> 00:04:45.079 The kind of game that we saw, just kind of 92 00:04:45.079 --> 00:04:48.560 that sees of emotions that fans went through KKR bundling 93 00:04:48.560 --> 00:04:50.600 out on one hundred eleven, then coming out and defending 94 00:04:50.600 --> 00:04:52.720 that especially, I mean the game was in their grasp. 95 00:04:52.720 --> 00:04:55.240 They required hardly fifty runs with seven wickets in hand. 96 00:04:55.399 --> 00:04:57.560 It was done and dusted. But then that hell master 97 00:04:57.600 --> 00:05:01.240 class and that stress getting that revenge against this Nothing 98 00:05:01.279 --> 00:05:02.079 gets better than that. 99 00:05:02.319 --> 00:05:04.680 So it's all it's all bladed perfectly now. 100 00:05:04.879 --> 00:05:08.959 You know, you asked who is writing those scripts. God 101 00:05:09.000 --> 00:05:12.160 is writing those scripts. You saw how Karna made that 102 00:05:12.199 --> 00:05:15.480 come back. You saw how Current Sharma made that come back. 103 00:05:16.639 --> 00:05:19.519 AMAZONI made that come back. CSK made that come back, 104 00:05:19.560 --> 00:05:21.399 and I mean we do not expect CSK to win 105 00:05:21.439 --> 00:05:25.360 a game, especially against LG in luck now, but Amazonian 106 00:05:25.399 --> 00:05:27.959 his team made that. So God is writing those scripts 107 00:05:28.000 --> 00:05:32.160 for every cricket fan. And you know this ip IPL 108 00:05:32.240 --> 00:05:35.120 is a place where you believe you can get the 109 00:05:35.160 --> 00:05:38.319 best of the biggest dramas of the cricket world, and 110 00:05:38.399 --> 00:05:41.120 the biggest scripts are written. Like when the Cyples started, 111 00:05:41.240 --> 00:05:44.560 we got someone like Priyan Sharya who scored a beautiful hundred. 112 00:05:45.120 --> 00:05:47.360 Then we got someone like aguish Art, both of them 113 00:05:47.399 --> 00:05:51.000 coming from Dell Cricket. Now, akron N I are forgotten. 114 00:05:51.600 --> 00:05:55.879 I remember in December, he wrote a tweet, please cricket 115 00:05:56.199 --> 00:05:58.519 give me other chance and look at him where he 116 00:05:58.600 --> 00:06:02.000 is now? First game coming back into IPL scores in 117 00:06:02.079 --> 00:06:06.160 eighty nine, smacks Mumra all over the park. Yes he 118 00:06:06.199 --> 00:06:08.240 did not land on the winning side, but that notock 119 00:06:08.360 --> 00:06:09.439 was one of the two selfs. 120 00:06:10.120 --> 00:06:11.959 So God is writing those scripts. 121 00:06:11.959 --> 00:06:14.480 And you could see every day it's going to get 122 00:06:14.519 --> 00:06:17.120 tougher for teams and every point is going to matter, 123 00:06:17.160 --> 00:06:19.720 every ball is going to matter. So and you saw 124 00:06:19.759 --> 00:06:22.439 how Mumbai you won that game, it was it was 125 00:06:22.480 --> 00:06:25.480 over for them. Yeah, it's not for some shithousing from 126 00:06:25.519 --> 00:06:30.240 Deli Capta's lower order and brilliant fielding from Mumba Indians. 127 00:06:30.319 --> 00:06:34.560 That was some fielding round the Calton, brilliant behind the wickets. 128 00:06:34.759 --> 00:06:36.519 So yeah, God is writing those scripts that say, if 129 00:06:36.560 --> 00:06:38.399 you ask me who is writing those scripts? 130 00:06:38.839 --> 00:06:40.199 When will God write a good script for? 131 00:06:41.199 --> 00:06:43.160 And you never know, extend Sunday is a good day. 132 00:06:43.199 --> 00:06:44.720 I hope it turns out to be a good day 133 00:06:44.759 --> 00:06:46.839 for you. And I'm not really sure because the last 134 00:06:46.839 --> 00:06:47.199 time in the. 135 00:06:47.199 --> 00:06:50.560 Way, by the way, we have banned reship from being 136 00:06:50.959 --> 00:06:54.680 being on the ship this Sunday. Why because yesterday what 137 00:06:54.720 --> 00:06:56.879 he did to one of his colleagues. Oh my god, Alan, 138 00:06:56.959 --> 00:06:58.839 who has been on this podcast before. He's a huge 139 00:06:58.879 --> 00:07:02.839 KKRE fan. After Punjab lost to KKR, Alan was obviously 140 00:07:03.800 --> 00:07:08.360 defeated Punjab defeated or care lost to however. 141 00:07:08.079 --> 00:07:10.319 We want to put it on somebody wrote it that way. 142 00:07:10.519 --> 00:07:12.759 Alan was heartbroken on the shift and then he gets 143 00:07:12.800 --> 00:07:13.959 a consolation gift. 144 00:07:15.040 --> 00:07:17.040 That's so. 145 00:07:17.079 --> 00:07:18.160 I gave him two options. 146 00:07:18.240 --> 00:07:20.480 Yeah, so one was another set of them, keen, and 147 00:07:20.519 --> 00:07:22.000 that was the another set of them, and I told 148 00:07:22.079 --> 00:07:23.959 him to choose anyone whichever he liked, and that was 149 00:07:23.959 --> 00:07:26.040 in the midd innings, and he ended up choosing his 150 00:07:26.079 --> 00:07:27.600 own death, which it turned out to be. 151 00:07:27.639 --> 00:07:28.120 Eventually. 152 00:07:28.839 --> 00:07:30.439 Let's see on Sunday what you will get. 153 00:07:30.720 --> 00:07:33.959 Yeah, we'll see, we'll see. I hope you would be 154 00:07:34.560 --> 00:07:35.959 as happy as you are right now. 155 00:07:36.120 --> 00:07:40.399 And is going to make that that this is all 156 00:07:40.399 --> 00:07:41.000 about IPEL. 157 00:07:41.480 --> 00:07:45.680 What we want isn't like in IPE isn't like Yes, of. 158 00:07:45.600 --> 00:07:48.399 Course, the data part of it, the heavy part of it, 159 00:07:48.439 --> 00:07:51.720 also matters, you know, in identifying and you know, appreciating 160 00:07:51.759 --> 00:07:56.040 the lesser talent great the lesser known talents. But the 161 00:07:56.079 --> 00:07:59.079 fun part is what dominates. Talking about the fun part 162 00:07:59.120 --> 00:08:02.160 sort of how have these captains and coaches look this time? 163 00:08:02.199 --> 00:08:04.040 That is probably what we wanted to discuss in this 164 00:08:04.480 --> 00:08:07.240 episode of Sledging Room. Like over the years we have 165 00:08:07.279 --> 00:08:13.600 seen Tony Fleming. Are we getting more such bonds this season? 166 00:08:13.959 --> 00:08:16.519 Like I'm seeing a couple at least? What do you think? 167 00:08:17.000 --> 00:08:17.319 I mean? 168 00:08:17.360 --> 00:08:20.639 Definitely if you look at the IPLs point point stable 169 00:08:21.560 --> 00:08:25.360 at the top, fine, who is nursing that success? 170 00:08:25.360 --> 00:08:25.560 There? 171 00:08:26.560 --> 00:08:31.439 Someone with his hat is doing it for them? Right 172 00:08:32.240 --> 00:08:35.080 with Hardik he won the league, then he went to 173 00:08:35.120 --> 00:08:37.960 reach the final. Then there was one bad season where 174 00:08:38.000 --> 00:08:42.360 Hardwick left and every everything was falling apart from He also. 175 00:08:42.279 --> 00:08:44.559 Wrote a piece saying that why Nehra is not the reason? 176 00:08:44.639 --> 00:08:47.440 Then hard was the reason and the left is that 177 00:08:47.559 --> 00:08:49.840 something you go ahead, go ahead. 178 00:08:50.639 --> 00:08:54.080 So if you look at that, how he has mentored 179 00:08:54.120 --> 00:08:56.519 someone like Schumann Gill, who is a vice captain of 180 00:08:56.559 --> 00:08:59.399 Indian Limited was seen. So he is touted as the 181 00:08:59.480 --> 00:09:02.440 next of future captain. If you look at the current proceedings, 182 00:09:02.759 --> 00:09:07.759 so Ashisha is helping him write his own story with Titans. 183 00:09:08.399 --> 00:09:10.320 Then number two teams are Theily Capitals. 184 00:09:10.879 --> 00:09:16.279 Himani, how many of it gave a chance to when 185 00:09:16.320 --> 00:09:19.440 he was appointed even someone in ost told you, I think, 186 00:09:19.960 --> 00:09:23.080 what is this appointment in a league of heavyweight coaches 187 00:09:23.120 --> 00:09:28.840 like Dommir was there, Ra, You're appointing someone like him 188 00:09:29.000 --> 00:09:31.440 Badani who has very little experience of, you know, coaching 189 00:09:31.440 --> 00:09:32.240 at the highest level. 190 00:09:33.200 --> 00:09:35.039 Someone told you, I think they were a couple of 191 00:09:35.080 --> 00:09:39.399 people who cracked a few jokes on that, and it 192 00:09:39.480 --> 00:09:42.440 was are you very very honest here? Even I was 193 00:09:42.480 --> 00:09:46.600 not very much confident because yes, Hiram Madani has proven 194 00:09:46.639 --> 00:09:50.320 his credentials across other leagues, but being the head coach 195 00:09:50.320 --> 00:09:53.919 of a NIFEL franchise, that much pressure, handling that kind 196 00:09:53.919 --> 00:09:56.879 of overseas star power, that is something she had not 197 00:09:56.960 --> 00:10:00.039 seen earlier. And now it's not just Himanghdani. There's a 198 00:10:00.080 --> 00:10:03.759 group of staff. There's Matthew Mott, coach of Finland. Is 199 00:10:03.799 --> 00:10:07.519 there Kim Peterson, He himself is a different star guy. 200 00:10:07.799 --> 00:10:10.159 So it's a group of people that's working out and 201 00:10:10.200 --> 00:10:11.519 there are different leaders in the team. 202 00:10:11.679 --> 00:10:16.399 Aksha Patil. So all these players and these coaches. 203 00:10:16.679 --> 00:10:20.440 Even for RCB when retired, everyone was like, okay, now 204 00:10:20.480 --> 00:10:24.120 what will RCB do? Will they get a good keepers? 205 00:10:24.399 --> 00:10:27.879 Became their batting coach? Made that Ox strategy got them 206 00:10:27.879 --> 00:10:33.039 films sold and now he's haunting the skills of battles 207 00:10:33.039 --> 00:10:33.679 a good keeper. 208 00:10:34.120 --> 00:10:35.279 So you can see this, Captain. 209 00:10:35.360 --> 00:10:39.080 Coaches, you are very important, especially for teams like Mumbai 210 00:10:39.120 --> 00:10:41.240 and Asais and especially with CSK. 211 00:10:41.480 --> 00:10:45.399 What has fallen apart? I don't think and Filming. 212 00:10:45.000 --> 00:10:48.320 Were working at the same level as Donny and Fileming 213 00:10:48.320 --> 00:10:54.240 were even with Mumba Indians Hardwick And it's not the same, 214 00:10:54.559 --> 00:10:56.720 it's not It does not give you the same aura 215 00:10:56.960 --> 00:11:00.000 that and used to give that those five five bill titles. 216 00:11:00.120 --> 00:11:00.720 Oh my god. 217 00:11:01.639 --> 00:11:03.840 So you can see if your coach and captain are 218 00:11:03.840 --> 00:11:07.159 working in tandem, that will reflect on the results on 219 00:11:07.200 --> 00:11:07.559 the field. 220 00:11:08.440 --> 00:11:10.279 Talking about such a store, what is wrong with the 221 00:11:10.320 --> 00:11:14.200 har well he even on that match against Deli Capitals, 222 00:11:14.320 --> 00:11:16.840 we're seeing that there was a little animation in the 223 00:11:16.879 --> 00:11:20.519 camp when Ruth was suggesting something, Mahela was telling the 224 00:11:20.639 --> 00:11:22.960 rellying that or not probably not relaying that. 225 00:11:23.240 --> 00:11:25.720 And then hard they taking into the field. What is 226 00:11:25.720 --> 00:11:28.240 happening there? Is it all? Well? This year of. 227 00:11:28.080 --> 00:11:29.960 Everything as well actual you don't have to worry too 228 00:11:30.039 --> 00:11:30.600 much about that. 229 00:11:30.720 --> 00:11:33.799 And also, I mean Jevani just got a reappointed last 230 00:11:33.799 --> 00:11:36.960 time it was Mark Boucher. Now they've got Jev back, 231 00:11:37.200 --> 00:11:39.399 hoping that he will recreate that match that he read 232 00:11:39.519 --> 00:11:42.360 with Roma. And don't you worry about us slow starts. 233 00:11:42.360 --> 00:11:44.120 That's what we have done in the past. We have 234 00:11:44.279 --> 00:11:46.399 scripted the greatest comeback the IPL has ever seen back 235 00:11:46.440 --> 00:11:47.200 in twenty fifteen. 236 00:11:47.279 --> 00:11:49.919 I'm not talking about all that. Yeah, I'm asking you 237 00:11:50.159 --> 00:11:53.639 is the relationship between hard and looking good on TV? 238 00:11:54.360 --> 00:11:57.000 I mean it's it's up for the reporters or for 239 00:11:57.120 --> 00:11:58.759 us for everyone to see. I mean, yes, if we 240 00:11:58.799 --> 00:12:00.639 are not losing, it might look bad, but the minute 241 00:12:00.639 --> 00:12:03.440 we start winning, when we start getting all our puzzles together, 242 00:12:03.799 --> 00:12:04.799 it will turn out to be good. 243 00:12:04.840 --> 00:12:05.919 You don't have to worry about that. 244 00:12:06.159 --> 00:12:09.279 And especially if you're talking about Ashi earlier, what he 245 00:12:09.320 --> 00:12:11.240 has done with the Indian bowlers in the team as 246 00:12:11.240 --> 00:12:14.240 well with Prussith Krishnan, Mhammad Seraj, the way he has 247 00:12:14.279 --> 00:12:17.639 corrected them, I mean I heard Robina talking about that specifically, 248 00:12:17.639 --> 00:12:19.799 how he has corrected their lens, how it has given 249 00:12:19.840 --> 00:12:21.759 them a lot more confident. They both are sitting with 250 00:12:21.799 --> 00:12:24.960 ten wickets each and Kujad bowling attack is breathing fire. 251 00:12:25.320 --> 00:12:27.679 And you know we were talking about the captain and 252 00:12:27.720 --> 00:12:30.279 the coaches thing. The captain coach do do it that 253 00:12:30.360 --> 00:12:32.879 people should be fearing Istory as a year and Ricky 254 00:12:32.879 --> 00:12:38.320 Ponting what they're creating together at Punjab camp last night Victory. 255 00:12:38.360 --> 00:12:39.919 I mean I heard Nehale they speak that in the 256 00:12:39.919 --> 00:12:42.320 pro postmatch press conference. He was like, there is never 257 00:12:42.399 --> 00:12:45.320 negativity in that dressing room. And when two people who 258 00:12:45.360 --> 00:12:47.720 have the same mindset, same hunger to win, same hunger 259 00:12:47.720 --> 00:12:50.480 to prove their naysayers wrong, when they come together, they've 260 00:12:50.519 --> 00:12:51.519 become a force to reckon. 261 00:12:51.559 --> 00:12:53.559 With them, people should be worried about Punjab. 262 00:12:53.600 --> 00:12:57.639 I really see them doing something scripting, something magical this season. 263 00:12:58.200 --> 00:12:58.440 Good. 264 00:12:58.440 --> 00:13:01.480 That's a good point because we when we speak about 265 00:13:01.519 --> 00:13:04.159 Ricky Ponting and keep in mind, this is not the 266 00:13:04.159 --> 00:13:07.159 first time they are going to They're working together, a 267 00:13:07.200 --> 00:13:10.720 young ir taking over from Gottamambi in a couple of years. 268 00:13:10.720 --> 00:13:13.639 He led the lead to the final where they were walked. 269 00:13:13.720 --> 00:13:19.519 That's another that's another thing, but that combination reuniting after 270 00:13:19.559 --> 00:13:22.840 a couple of years. See it all looked flashy between 271 00:13:22.879 --> 00:13:26.279 Ponting and punt It looked very rosy between them on TV, 272 00:13:26.919 --> 00:13:30.039 the promotions and all that. But now you can feel 273 00:13:30.039 --> 00:13:32.519 that energy, right, Ponting was you know, you were saying 274 00:13:32.559 --> 00:13:34.679 that my heartbeat was like over two hundred or something, 275 00:13:35.039 --> 00:13:37.759 I didn't know, and then that energy, like he said, 276 00:13:37.879 --> 00:13:42.039 both are very positive characters and them, you know, combining 277 00:13:42.080 --> 00:13:46.000 that together might work as in like sort as like 278 00:13:46.039 --> 00:13:48.960 what do you think is there a chance of Project 279 00:13:49.000 --> 00:13:50.960 Punjab delivering what it has to deliver? 280 00:13:51.679 --> 00:13:52.480 Very much possible. 281 00:13:52.840 --> 00:13:56.519 I mean if you look at two players, especially Ponting 282 00:13:56.639 --> 00:13:59.960 was a legendary player in his primetime, a legendary captain, 283 00:14:00.559 --> 00:14:04.279 and then he has combined with you know, Ponting was 284 00:14:04.320 --> 00:14:07.039 the one who gave movement in their first title. He 285 00:14:07.840 --> 00:14:10.399 mid season, he stepped down as the captain, he made 286 00:14:10.600 --> 00:14:13.120 with the captain and then Mumbai went on to win 287 00:14:13.159 --> 00:14:14.759 the title twenty thirteen. 288 00:14:15.279 --> 00:14:18.399 So this is not the first time if if. 289 00:14:18.480 --> 00:14:21.559 These two go on to win the title, that Ponting 290 00:14:21.600 --> 00:14:24.679 and a Mumbai batter go on to win a title 291 00:14:24.720 --> 00:14:27.919 for their team. Especially even interesting we get we have 292 00:14:27.960 --> 00:14:32.960 seen we're Rat and Shasti, two very fairy characters and 293 00:14:33.080 --> 00:14:34.080 the success. 294 00:14:33.639 --> 00:14:35.519 To in their own one nothing. 295 00:14:35.840 --> 00:14:40.679 Yeah, they won Test Series in Australia. Those success stories 296 00:14:41.000 --> 00:14:43.080 these two wrote overseas for Indian cricket teams. 297 00:14:43.879 --> 00:14:46.679 That will always be written in the history books. So 298 00:14:47.240 --> 00:14:48.360 the two characters which. 299 00:14:48.200 --> 00:14:51.759 You're talking about, Ponting and a Year, both of them 300 00:14:52.000 --> 00:14:56.039 are very very positive, as Nihalvarde said, and they have 301 00:14:56.080 --> 00:15:01.399 a plan a in the place like Moderira revealed or 302 00:15:01.399 --> 00:15:05.559 someone else reveal will in the press conference that Ponting 303 00:15:06.159 --> 00:15:09.840 during that mid innings he told their bowlers, Okay, the 304 00:15:09.879 --> 00:15:12.000 battles have done the job. Now it's time for the 305 00:15:12.039 --> 00:15:15.360 bowlers to deliver. I want some furious Sills out there. 306 00:15:15.799 --> 00:15:18.399 And then you could see that firepower in the bowling 307 00:15:18.519 --> 00:15:21.960 and shares his captaincy. I mean I saw that he 308 00:15:22.039 --> 00:15:25.559 was trying to attack every batter taking a short forward 309 00:15:25.600 --> 00:15:29.679 leg in a T twenty match. That is sensational. And 310 00:15:30.120 --> 00:15:33.799 as a captain, he always wanted that recognition. That is 311 00:15:33.840 --> 00:15:36.840 why he left KKA even the title, and I hope 312 00:15:37.039 --> 00:15:38.639 he will get it. I hope he will get it 313 00:15:38.679 --> 00:15:41.120 at Punchapkins. Whether he wins it onpil or not, that 314 00:15:41.120 --> 00:15:43.200 it's a different story. But as a captain he has 315 00:15:43.200 --> 00:15:46.519 done great work. And Vadera also said that a Year 316 00:15:46.720 --> 00:15:48.320 is one of the greatest captains. 317 00:15:48.360 --> 00:15:49.759 He has finest leaders. 318 00:15:49.799 --> 00:15:52.639 He has worked under his spirit under and mind you 319 00:15:52.679 --> 00:15:56.320 whatea has been in the also, So that speaks a 320 00:15:56.399 --> 00:15:57.559 lot about these two. 321 00:15:58.840 --> 00:16:02.559 World under done you don't have So that's another okay, 322 00:16:02.960 --> 00:16:07.840 but I'm asking you something here. Sorry, Last year we 323 00:16:07.879 --> 00:16:11.360 said got wanted for k care This time will it 324 00:16:11.399 --> 00:16:13.919 be the same that if at all King's going to 325 00:16:13.919 --> 00:16:16.559 do well, will Ricky Ponting take all the credit or 326 00:16:16.919 --> 00:16:18.960 sh Saire's role is there? But if you look at 327 00:16:19.000 --> 00:16:24.080 the flip side, Gotamer is gone from kkre, s Sayer 328 00:16:24.200 --> 00:16:26.840 is gone from KR and Chandra Khan Pundit, whom we 329 00:16:26.879 --> 00:16:30.480 all thought was who he, who is a very acclaimed. 330 00:16:31.519 --> 00:16:33.360 Has it been a little overwhelming for him at the 331 00:16:33.440 --> 00:16:34.080 highest level. 332 00:16:34.799 --> 00:16:37.759 It looks like in the level it certainly looks like 333 00:16:38.720 --> 00:16:41.120 even before Gambier came, he was appointed as the coach 334 00:16:41.399 --> 00:16:44.279 and they had a very very poor season. Overse his player, 335 00:16:44.320 --> 00:16:47.200 like David came out in public much after that. 336 00:16:47.279 --> 00:16:50.120 I apeal that the behavior. 337 00:16:49.600 --> 00:16:51.919 Of Chandkhan pund did towards over his players was not 338 00:16:52.080 --> 00:16:54.440 very great, not codial at all. 339 00:16:55.159 --> 00:16:56.080 So I think. 340 00:16:58.440 --> 00:17:02.279 Is a coach who has been able to achieve some success, 341 00:17:02.600 --> 00:17:05.640 a lot of success in domestic cricket because he gets 342 00:17:06.119 --> 00:17:08.200 he does not get star players over there, especially for 343 00:17:08.240 --> 00:17:09.200 a team like Mahadesh. 344 00:17:09.599 --> 00:17:12.400 He gets young guys who maken groom. 345 00:17:12.559 --> 00:17:14.680 And we have also seen stories from someone like as 346 00:17:15.039 --> 00:17:18.799 who said that threw him outs. 347 00:17:18.839 --> 00:17:20.279 Yea yeah, but human coach. 348 00:17:20.440 --> 00:17:22.799 Yeah, and we all who was a coach back then. 349 00:17:23.000 --> 00:17:24.599 Obviously he will not name the coach. He has to 350 00:17:24.599 --> 00:17:29.799 play cricket, but we can actually understand. Yeah, so especially 351 00:17:29.839 --> 00:17:32.759 with chand And you know what is more baffling for 352 00:17:32.839 --> 00:17:34.000 me when. 353 00:17:33.839 --> 00:17:34.400 Someone like. 354 00:17:35.960 --> 00:17:38.480 Is out he has left that post for India coaching. 355 00:17:39.319 --> 00:17:41.319 I don't know why will you bring someone like dun Bravo, 356 00:17:42.480 --> 00:17:45.640 bravo as a coach. I don't know what creditions he has. Yes, 357 00:17:45.680 --> 00:17:48.480 he's a great T twenty bowler, a great T twenty launder, 358 00:17:48.720 --> 00:17:52.559 a title across the globe, but as a coach, never 359 00:17:52.680 --> 00:17:58.319 proven CSK's bowling coach. He was because he has AMAZONI 360 00:17:58.400 --> 00:18:01.119 to execute those plans on the pitch. M even when 361 00:18:01.799 --> 00:18:06.440 was the captain last season, AMAZONI was there and whatever 362 00:18:06.519 --> 00:18:09.039 people might say, when Amazon is there behind the wickets, 363 00:18:09.160 --> 00:18:10.240 you always get that help. 364 00:18:10.400 --> 00:18:12.880 You will always guide the bowlers to these lines, that lines. 365 00:18:13.359 --> 00:18:17.319 He's the one who invented someone like like Coleapan. Hell, 366 00:18:17.319 --> 00:18:19.839 they were young bowlers and AMAZONI was the one who 367 00:18:19.839 --> 00:18:25.119 made those two successful, those stumpings, those lines. So Drane 368 00:18:25.119 --> 00:18:27.799 Bravo's appointment is a bit baffling for me. Even the 369 00:18:27.839 --> 00:18:31.359 kr fans have started outing. And more than that, this team, 370 00:18:31.440 --> 00:18:35.599 especially KKR, why are you holding on to old heroes 371 00:18:36.480 --> 00:18:38.119 when when you know that they have they have given 372 00:18:38.160 --> 00:18:39.119 what they am? 373 00:18:39.119 --> 00:18:41.000 I ask him also the same question, why are you 374 00:18:41.039 --> 00:18:43.319 holding on to your old heroes? Which old hero have 375 00:18:43.359 --> 00:18:46.519 the what is what? What has he been doing? Tell me, frankly, 376 00:18:47.400 --> 00:18:48.480 is the lead is a leader? 377 00:18:48.920 --> 00:18:52.079 He is the one who thought out okay, okay, you 378 00:18:52.200 --> 00:18:54.519 can make your lead. 379 00:18:55.200 --> 00:18:59.960 You having a movement in his fan and asked the 380 00:19:00.119 --> 00:19:02.839 ask come to this movement? You ask your question? Yeah? 381 00:19:02.880 --> 00:19:07.400 One question? Where was momentous? Without was the captain in ipal? 382 00:19:07.880 --> 00:19:12.160 Everybody paying the final in twenty ten would have given 383 00:19:12.759 --> 00:19:14.119 them a couple more theater seasons. 384 00:19:14.119 --> 00:19:16.240 They would have won it under such a RB such 385 00:19:16.279 --> 00:19:18.079 and was past his prime? 386 00:19:18.839 --> 00:19:23.559 Okay, and Arma came and took that mental He made 387 00:19:23.559 --> 00:19:27.319 moments fine, not question. 388 00:19:27.359 --> 00:19:30.720 Where is the performance now? And why is he being 389 00:19:30.799 --> 00:19:31.960 used as an impact player? 390 00:19:32.200 --> 00:19:35.079 So the thing is your captain can get all the 391 00:19:35.079 --> 00:19:37.440 credit for the leadership, and our captain cannot get all 392 00:19:37.480 --> 00:19:38.480 the captains for the leadership. 393 00:19:38.519 --> 00:19:40.079 Is not performing at all. 394 00:19:40.240 --> 00:19:43.759 When I'm asking, when I'm asking clinical questions, don't make 395 00:19:43.799 --> 00:19:44.480 it your mind. 396 00:19:45.160 --> 00:19:47.400 Don he had forty three is winning you matches? 397 00:19:48.160 --> 00:19:51.119 Which is we can keeping with his uh late order 398 00:19:51.160 --> 00:19:55.079 hitting when when it's doable, he does the job what 399 00:19:55.119 --> 00:19:58.279 has been doing. And my my biggest question is why 400 00:19:58.319 --> 00:20:01.240 will you not use his experience on the field? Why 401 00:20:01.240 --> 00:20:02.880
