0:00

I V M But

0:05

this the way it was done, it was

0:07

just really sad as fans. I know lots

0:09

has been spoken about this, but see, I'm

0:11

a first hardcore fan. You're a frame guard,

0:13

right? I'm the frame guard. Well,

0:20

I'm sitting next to the MI Scout right here. So

0:22

that's why... The experience is coming to

0:24

the fore. He immediately knows. He

0:26

knows. He's taken

0:28

a single gone to non-spike. He's left you there.

0:32

The other thing I noticed, I remember 1995-96, Sri

0:35

Lanka changing the 50-over concept with

0:37

the batting of Jaipur, Jaishuraya and...

0:41

Kallu Vithran. Kallu Vithran. Thank

0:43

you, sir. My first World Cup was... Is it my father being next

0:45

to the child? No? How much

0:47

about it? Five. My first World Cup

0:49

was 99. I'm truly young and 96. Uncle

0:52

said... Just give Uncle respect.

0:56

That Steve-O story, there is part two also. That's

0:58

his last test, last innings. That was his last

1:00

inning. And when 2018 tour, I was part of

1:02

the team. Where Steve-O's son

1:05

was there, that Australian team, he was

1:07

part of the extra players. And

1:09

when I was walking by the boundary line, I said... The

1:16

language used on the podcast may not

1:18

be fit for consumption. We

1:20

warn you, tread carefully. But

1:23

listen, Jaar. Don't be so conservative. We'll

1:54

come to that as well. But first, let's meet our wonderful

1:56

guests. Yes, with our limited budgets, we

1:58

have got Saimi Khair. Parthiv Patel on

2:01

this show. So those people who laughed

2:03

at me spattered my face and took my cardi

2:05

kai samne in. Niri cardi pune nahi hai. Till

2:07

be they did that. I tell you, back off.

2:09

We have got some credibility now. And

2:12

great to have you guys, both of you. Thank you.

2:15

Have you seen Kumar? Yeah, I've seen. Have

2:17

you played cricket with her? No, I've not played cricket with her.

2:20

She doesn't have time. She's already been shooting or...

2:23

No, see, the thing is that when you

2:25

meet Parthiv, there's so much to catch up

2:27

on because he knows so much that's happening

2:29

in the world. Is it possible? No.

2:33

He has information about anything and everything under

2:35

the sun. If you want. No, but it's

2:37

just because I read a lot. That's the

2:39

thing. I read a lot. He read so

2:41

much about, he knows everything that's happening in

2:44

Bollywood, in the world. Obviously, World of Diller.

2:46

Direct Bollywood porn. Yeah. I can look at

2:48

him. Cricket who's

2:50

represented India for so many years and straight

2:52

away, his interest goes into Bollywood. Amazing. So

2:54

that's why we've not had the time to...

2:56

I would love to... For me, I've

2:58

known Angar than Ubi when I was in

3:01

college. So, name Ropi? No,

3:03

the only thing is to say, let's play cricket. They

3:06

used to get fed up of me. So

3:08

I think then, right now, whenever he comes

3:10

down, it's more discussions of all his readings.

3:12

But there must be some bad ball. Don't

3:14

even play a little bit. There's

3:17

no time in studio. Studio is hard

3:19

work. Yeah. But then

3:21

just wait till she drops Sachin's name. Oh!

3:25

Sachin's close... I can't take his name. No,

3:27

I can't take his name. It's master. Master.

3:29

See, that's fair. The respect is... No, I'm

3:31

just... Beyond respect, also, are you all

3:34

friends? No, I'm just... He must have said something about Boomer

3:36

and all that. He came, watched it and all. He made

3:38

me take bowl the ball. And I

3:40

was just... That's why... If Sachin is playing with her,

3:42

why aren't you playing with her? That's the reason why

3:44

I can't play. She's playing with Sachin very well. Now,

3:46

don't stand any... Fucking a banjal. I

3:48

wish people were playing this, commonly. You become a lawyer.

3:52

Just a matter of many talents, I can tell

3:54

you that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Excellent. Okay,

3:56

I don't think we'll talk cricket then. We'll just discuss all this. No

4:00

fun. So getting back to

4:02

the first thing for those you guys do a

4:04

show on Krikbuzz. Yes. Of course you're

4:06

seen all over as well doing commentary and

4:08

you are now hopefully not going to be type

4:11

cast as a Krikkater. I hope so. I really

4:13

want to as an actor be able to do

4:15

other things. It just so happened that

4:17

I had signed Sharma Ji a film that's releasing

4:19

tomorrow. Sharma Ji is better. Sharma Ji is better.

4:22

I'm hoping the beta performs tomorrow. Ohh.

4:26

Pressure. You want only beta

4:28

to perform or you want... She wants

4:30

only beta to perform. She doesn't want Dhamma to perform. Ohh.

4:32

Is that the case? No. Sharma Ji's beta performs. I'll

4:34

be very happy because we saw what he did here

4:36

at 92. When

4:39

he plays, you are just... But

4:41

Sharma Ji's Dhamma is yet to perform. Ohh.

4:44

Yeah. I just

4:46

don't understand that. Okay. Sama Ji is so much rural Sharma. Yeah.

4:49

But they also love Sharma Ji. Yeah. Sharma Ji's Dhamma is

4:51

very cool. Ohh. Sir,

4:54

you want some coffee? I don't know anything sarcastic or

4:56

not. Give me the time to catch

4:58

up with the comedian. There's the John

5:01

Leaver school and there's the Parthipotel school.

5:03

This is slightly more sophisticated thinking and

5:05

all. No. So, I mean, obviously, Virat

5:07

has not had the best World Cup.

5:09

So, obviously, we want him to fire.

5:11

But the way Rohit played that

5:13

night. Yeah, he did. We bet it

5:15

brilliantly. No doubt. I think Pat

5:17

Cummings won't forget. Although,

5:19

he was not the captain. Let us keep saying

5:21

to all those people on YouTube, attack him. It's

5:23

Mitchell Marsh who should attack. But people want the

5:25

badla of Ahmedabad basically. Only

5:28

weak are keeping score. These are forgotten. They forgot

5:30

they won also. Just move on. So

5:32

many World Cups they won. Just another

5:34

one. They won too many. It's about time. I

5:37

don't want to put any punwati and all that. I don't

5:39

want to get into winning and all. So, we won't talk

5:41

about winning. Let's talk about how well we can perform from

5:43

here. So, first let's look at the semi-final that happened. Afghanistan,

5:46

everybody's favorite team, you know, country is

5:48

not in great shape, blah blah. The

5:50

cricket is very important, etc. So,

5:53

there's a whole social aspect to it. But

5:56

they played fantastic cricket till this morning. They

5:59

did, I thought, you know. The way they have come

6:01

up, I think it's a big, long process. They don't

6:03

have their grounds in Afghanistan. They

6:05

had to come to India and practice

6:08

in Dehradun or Lucknow or Noida. They

6:10

literally had to rent playgrounds to come

6:12

here and play. And everyone

6:14

has been around. So, Rashid, Mohammed Nabi

6:16

has been around for years and years

6:18

and years. He has been in 45

6:20

countries. He

6:23

knows some of the country names. He's

6:29

beaten Jersey. He's beaten. I

6:32

still didn't know where Jersey was. What is Jersey?

6:34

I don't know. It's a country. A country called Jersey?

6:36

Yeah. I only knew New Jersey.

6:38

I didn't know. Are these serious specialists?

6:40

Yeah. They are country called Jersey. New

6:43

Jersey, America. Just

6:46

Jersey. Just Jersey. Please Google

6:48

and tell us as soon as possible. Wow.

6:51

So, basically, Mohammed Nabi has played all the games

6:53

which Afghanistan has played so far. But

6:56

to reach semi-final, World Cup semi-final,

6:58

meeting New Zealand and Australia is

7:00

a great achievement for sure. I

7:03

think they've got the best batsmen in terms

7:05

of number of runs and

7:08

the best bowl of Faruqi as well. Yeah. So,

7:11

they've got the performers in the team. So, there's sort of

7:13

like fluke match here. Somebody did something in two hours. Nothing

7:15

like that. They've had three or four

7:17

good performers throughout. Yeah. They did Ramanullah Gurbas.

7:20

Gurbas and Samaria actors. Zadran

7:22

also. Oh, yes. But

7:25

then that was great. Now that you've segued to

7:27

that, you tell us. What do you feel? No,

7:29

see, honestly, because when I'm

7:32

on Krikbaz, I'm told I have to be

7:34

a neutral fan and I have to be

7:36

very like not show my emotion and stuff.

7:38

But here I can. I was so happy

7:40

they beat Australia. Like, I was screaming and

7:43

shouting because they beat Australia because I am

7:45

that hardcore Indian fan. See, they

7:47

have seen so much of cricket. No,

7:50

but I'm saying they beat Australia. Anyone

7:52

who beats Australia. Pakistan,

7:54

when we were growing up, is basically against Pakistan

7:56

as whoever the leaders who support them. Now, your

7:58

thing is that this generation. Against Australia. Against

8:01

Australia. Because Pakistan's team is

8:03

not good. It's

8:05

not good. It's not good. It's not good. Yeah,

8:07

actually, what comes out here? What else to say?

8:09

Just look at the team which was in the

8:12

moment. Wasim, Akram, Shoah, Bhakta,

8:14

Vaka, Yunus. Yosuv Yohana.

8:16

Yosuv Yohana. Yunus Khan,

8:19

Sakhlan Mushtaq. Abhi, Abharazam.

8:22

This one. Brave,

8:24

brave. PP is being brave there. I feel after

8:26

challenge, there's something, couple of Sharma. We have to

8:28

talk to somebody. There's more in this, in this

8:31

makeup. But Bhatib doesn't know how viral this can

8:33

go. No, I've said this on a cricket, I've

8:35

said this on a cricket show also. That's

8:37

a kind of Pakistani, Pakistani spectators are saying the

8:40

same thing. Pakistani guys are all saying the same

8:42

thing. Wasim Akram is saying it's a... So angry.

8:45

He's so angry that day. But

8:47

obviously, wherever they are, exactly the names

8:49

you said, quality. And just the

8:51

infighting which is so evident. It's so

8:53

evident in that team that they just keep fighting so

8:56

much. You say, Shain Afridi is Basim Akram and all.

8:58

You have to give it a little more time. It's

9:00

like we start saying, next, such and next, this, next,

9:02

that. I think you have to put too much pressure

9:04

on people. Two, three years of international cricket, oh yeah.

9:07

Yeah. Enough. What

9:09

do you say, Parthiv? Yeah, I agree. Definitely.

9:12

Shain Shafrid is not as good as Bomanar. So man

9:14

to man, they don't seem to have the personnel which

9:16

they used to have. And hence, they're not getting the

9:18

kind of performances. Yeah, they don't have players. They don't

9:20

have T20 kind of players. The way cricket is going

9:22

right now. We are talking about

9:24

striker out of 150, 160. And these guys

9:26

are still in 120s. I mean, they

9:28

are far behind than any other international side. And

9:30

they won't run bats when he's not performing. Mr.

9:33

Zaman, I won't say the first name. I see how he

9:35

passed away. Our

9:41

Bomanar. Fakhar Zaman. Not bad.

9:44

Jami? Fakhar Zaman. Fakhar Zaman.

9:47

Zaman was right. Zaman was right. Yeah,

9:49

but he was really fantastic. I

9:52

remember back in 2017, the Champions Trophy and all that.

9:54

And then he seems to have lost his way. Yeah,

9:57

I mean, see how Captain wanted to

9:59

open. So he had to come down.

10:02

So that's where the... When your captain

10:04

is selfish player, then there is no

10:06

chance. But I've said all of this.

10:12

There is nothing new about this. When

10:14

you say, everyone says this. Then

10:17

who should captain that team? A

10:19

lot of people putting their hands up. Everyone wants to captain.

10:21

That's the whole thing. They all

10:23

say that we'll be captain. The

10:26

problem is there is not a

10:28

single player who can fit into

10:30

playing 11 all the games. Except

10:33

Rizwan. So Babar Azzam is

10:36

not a T20 player. Then is Fakhar

10:38

Dhaman. He doesn't know which place he will bat.

10:40

Then there is Ifti Chacha who bats at

10:43

7A. And

10:45

then there is no one. There is only Shahi

10:47

Nafridi. Mamad Amir brought him back. He brought well

10:50

here and there. But then Imad

10:52

was him. So they don't have.

10:54

The actual player should be leading their side.

10:56

There is Shahn Masood. For the test. For

10:58

the test and one day he is leading. T20 is a problem. Okay.

11:02

Chagani was killed. He is also a little bit more Tuk

11:04

Tuk. Fair to say. It is.

11:07

It is a Tuk Tuk side. Yeah

11:10

but that is a problem. Why the power hitters are

11:12

not there? No but their power hitter

11:14

one which they were backing a lot. Like

11:16

Jayada said he didn't move from the breakfast table only.

11:19

Azzam. Azzam you caught the

11:21

bat. That is really mean. I didn't. This is Joy

11:24

Bartha Chahre. I am so happy. I know I heard

11:26

that. But that is what she does. These are her

11:28

thoughts. She doesn't like it. She puts that, she puts

11:30

that down and then she will say. She

11:35

is an iron man woman. You

11:38

know what an iron man woman is? You

11:40

can't just say iron person. This

11:42

whole sexist thing is a problem. That

11:44

is a good point. I have been asked a lot. Now I have

11:46

not started listening. What does the bib say when you are running... They

11:49

come and woke my foot. Exactly.

11:52

Why is an iron man then? Why is

11:54

an iron man then? For us, iron man

11:56

is history. I mean it is confusing. I

11:58

am a right person. So

12:02

when I look at a picture on Instagram,

12:04

it's like that Roshi always wears a red

12:06

t-shirt. She's an RCB fan. So let's

12:09

do it. They've got how many IPLs? We're going there

12:11

so soon. We're going there soon already. Wow. But

12:14

who do you support, PeePee?

12:17

I support every team. Because I've played for 16 years. You've

12:20

played IPL? Sorry, this was IPL, sir. He

12:24

was taking a... PeePee, you have... He's

12:26

played. Bharat if G, you have... No, that's right. So, you

12:28

were in the moment, you were aligned to them for some

12:30

time? Three years. I played for moment in three years.

12:32

Wow. And you also worked... I worked as

12:35

a scout for moment. So right now, you're

12:37

a neutral, you're a commentator also. So, you're

12:39

not... No, but you were a new commentator and

12:41

scout. But that's allowed? Yeah, that's

12:43

allowed. Dear BCCI. I was...

12:45

I was the best at it. Now

12:50

I'm no more with moment Indians. I'm just a

12:52

broadcaster. Who do you support? When you... As

12:55

a fan. Not when you're on the comfy board. No, moment

12:57

Indians. Moment Indians. So,

13:00

my second name is CSK. Okay,

13:03

what about... So, Gujarat gets nothing? Gujarat

13:05

is there, but I... Because

13:07

I've played with... But RCB, you don't

13:09

have... RCB is like eternal. It's out

13:11

of the box kind of thing. I

13:14

was the only one who actually was supporting RCB

13:16

when I was doing broadcasting for

13:18

GEO. When

13:21

they wanted 18 or 19

13:23

results to go in their favor, who calculate it?

13:25

I started it. I said, we will

13:27

qualify. I wanted them to win,

13:29

but unfortunately they didn't. There was some crazy mathematics

13:31

that went down to get out. I mean, the

13:33

amount of... If this team loses, it's

13:36

only our Indian minds love all this. Yeah, but

13:38

they didn't. The credit culture, they're like, we're dead.

13:41

But they didn't, it was crazy. Yeah, I

13:43

ended up... They won six in a row this time, no? They

13:46

lost also six in a row. Fair enough. But if you can win

13:48

six in a row, you sort of... The ballad

13:50

ledger sheet is equal. Not bad. But

13:53

then once again, not able to reach the final pinnacle

13:55

of success. But the women did it.

13:57

Women did it in GEO 1 or GEO 2? GEO 1. But

14:01

with the kind of players they've had, underperforming

14:03

team, no question. Yeah, without a doubt. Koli

14:05

at his best, Chris Gill at his best,

14:07

ABD Villiers at his best. I mean... See,

14:10

I've played for RCB also. I've been there for four years.

14:13

The team's always about individuals. It's not about

14:15

team. And then everyone who will come out

14:17

of that team will say that. Because it's all about Virat

14:19

Koli, ABD Villiers and Chris Gill when I was in the

14:22

team. So they were given that kind

14:24

of a special preference always. The

14:27

team culture was not there. You

14:30

can see clearly when they are playing. And that

14:32

is the reason why they have not

14:34

won trophies. And that's the fact. You mean the

14:36

stars are too big and the rest are not

14:38

even enough? Enough importance. So even

14:41

if a Virat Koli scores 100, if

14:43

someone else doesn't do it, then the team's not going

14:46

to win. The prime example is this season. To start

14:48

with, Virat was scoring a lot of runs but everyone

14:50

else was not scoring runs. So you can't win games

14:53

if you're... But it's not his fault that they aren't

14:55

scoring. But then the importance and

14:57

everything, it is just the way it is. You're

15:00

saying that everybody is looking only at Virat. They

15:02

forget the team, the team loses belief. That's

15:05

what we all felt when we were there.

15:07

It must be something because they've got all

15:09

the personnel. They've always had big players. But

15:12

they've only had big players and no titles.

15:16

And not even... But there you talk.

15:19

Say what I was going to say. But I can't say what I

15:21

was going to say. We'll

15:23

beep it out later. We'll keep

15:25

on beeping. The amount of troll

15:28

army that RCB has, it's scary.

15:30

For or against? Against.

15:33

But if you say something, not

15:35

even intentionally. If

15:37

you make a statement when you're on air,

15:39

they go after you. First

15:42

two, three days you're fine. After the team's

15:44

time, you can log out. Also, the point

15:46

is, Bangalore's Wi-Fi is very good. It

15:50

never stops. But Bakhi, you know, look at

15:52

Punjab. Very often they want to abuse

15:54

you by finding it. If you're not getting it.

15:56

That's what it is. We've cracked it now. It's

15:58

all taken care of. people to shift

16:00

to other parts of the country. All

16:03

the foreign IT guys are now in the United.

16:06

Let's get back to the game. So

16:08

Afghanistan 56, what happened? They over-exploded. No,

16:11

I think the pitch was like that.

16:13

They had... The pitch was

16:15

like that but 56 for one. Yeah but

16:17

South Africa's fast bowels were far better than

16:19

Afghanistan's bowels and batting quality also was a

16:21

different... You were saying they got exposed a

16:23

little bit? Yeah, they did. I have to

16:25

doubt it out because Afghanistan is not used

16:27

to playing on this kind of bouncy pitches

16:29

or where the ball is seaming around. One

16:31

ball which hit the arm and went past

16:33

like slip. It looked like Westernies

16:35

of the 80s were bowling. But it's felt like

16:38

they were playing in the Wanderers today. It was

16:40

like moving around. But isn't it good to see

16:42

sometimes the ball dominating? I know you've got it.

16:44

To be fair, this is not a semi World

16:47

Cup, semi-final pitch. Just imagine if it was Australia,

16:49

South Africa. Then it would have

16:51

been a completely different game but this is

16:53

not the pitch where you wanted to play

16:55

a World Cup. It's luck for Afghanistan that

16:57

sub-continental team gets this wicked, gets to bat

16:59

first when the wicked is fresh also and

17:02

gets those bowlers against them. To

17:04

be fair, their best chance was batting first.

17:06

But how would they... Otherwise, see

17:08

only way these guys can win is by scoring 120-130

17:10

and then try and put South

17:13

Africa under pressure. If South Africa had

17:15

batted first and they have scored 140, Afghanistan

17:18

had no chance. Not because they have scored 56. But

17:20

you think coming to semi-finals a fair result for them

17:22

or not then? Yeah, it is fair result. What,

17:25

New Zealand by a sext New

17:33

Zealand, Australia, what else do you want to win? They

17:37

have beaten two teams. Two top teams. We

17:41

had this breaking news. It's not

17:43

breaking because Rashid said it at the toss. Rashid said it

17:45

at the toss was not breaking. The toss

17:47

was at 5.30am. So in case

17:49

you didn't see it, we're telling you now. So

17:52

I mean, you're playing the semi-finals. The

17:54

way this World Cup has been just organized.

17:56

Yeah, it is now. It's very strange. It's

17:59

split timing. I mean, I understand I am

18:01

an Indian and I have major pride for

18:04

the country, but you already decided India is

18:06

playing the evening game. They've had more rest

18:08

than the Afghan boys because we played last

18:10

one, what Monday? Monday, yeah. So,

18:13

it's just the way it's been

18:15

organised, there's no reserve day tomorrow

18:17

for India's game if it gets washed out.

18:20

And it's a World Cup semi-final, yeah. But you were

18:22

saying if it gets washed out, India goes through.

18:24

India goes through. Because we have

18:26

more points. Yes, we have top of

18:28

the table. As a sportsman who

18:30

loves a contest, let's pray for India.

18:35

We don't need rain, I think. We'll have with

18:37

them? Yeah. They're all IPL

18:39

trained, boss. Salt, they run, butler, they run.

18:43

Johnny Besto found form, finally here. So

18:45

Johnny Besto was during IPL, he said Johnny Johnny,

18:47

no Papa. And then

18:49

as soon as he played for England, he says Johnny

18:52

Johnny, yes Papa. I'll let score runs here. He's

18:54

become like that player. But Hardik also switched, yeah. Hardik

18:58

likes this blue colour. Look

19:01

at that. How many fans? I

19:04

feel there's a reverse sweep for four. Papa

19:06

also does. No, I mean,

19:08

you'll always have national pride before. That's

19:14

the end of it. Davis

19:16

Cup superb. So she's saying... I

19:19

can't even touch my hair. He

19:21

doesn't take pride. He

19:24

doesn't take pride. He

19:26

doesn't take pride. No, he

19:28

takes pride, but India, tri-colour. Nothing beats

19:30

a tri-colour. She's not

19:32

saying anything incorrect. That's what country first,

19:35

region second. Exactly. That's the right thing

19:37

to say. The only wrong thing to say is

19:39

I wish Rohit at Captain Mumbai. That

19:41

you're not saying, you're saying it's wrong to say. Yeah. But

19:44

as an MI fan, as somebody who's been a

19:47

massive Rohit fan, I was very

19:49

disheartened. I don't know how many of you speak

19:51

about this, but whatever. Too late now. No

19:53

one's stopping you. You can show the

19:55

trolls and the comments and all that. Nobody

19:57

wants to be a show. But

20:00

this is the way it was done. It

20:02

was just really sad as fans. I know

20:04

lots has been spoken about this, but see,

20:06

I'm a first hardcore fan. AK frame guard,

20:08

no? Well, I'm

20:11

sitting next to the MI Scout

20:13

right here. That's

20:18

why part of the experience is coming to the floor

20:20

as he immediately knows. He's taken

20:24

a single gun to come back to his left field then.

20:27

No, but we have to talk about it for a

20:30

second now. You brought it up. Even I was a

20:32

little upset that, you know, the way Rohit was treated,

20:34

the legend that he is and all, all Bhardik fans,

20:36

no problem there. But when they

20:38

started abusing him, by the third

20:40

time it happened, I just switched to

20:42

Bhardik. In the sense, he's not gone. That's

20:44

very unusual. It's very unusual. It never happened

20:47

anywhere else. Nobody will disrespect the local boy.

20:49

How can it happen? Yeah, it's very unusual.

20:51

And the kind of language that wonkade, wonkade.

20:53

That's his own ground now. It's very sad.

20:55

That was very sad. And from Dikmik to

20:57

you, well-dressed people. It's not like in the

20:59

old days you say, unputt logo, nothing like

21:01

that. There are people who are dressed exactly

21:04

like our technicians. In fact, I will name

21:06

three of them as people who are abused

21:08

right here. I

21:11

was at the ground. I did almost every game of

21:13

MI from the ground. And it was way back to

21:16

Semen. You don't need that. And you guys were cutting

21:18

away from it also because there was no way to

21:20

defend it. I mean, you can't defend it. But to

21:22

be fair, it's not that the ground has had the

21:24

best history. We know what they've done to the master.

21:26

We know what they did even to you, V. So

21:28

it's not that, it's not the most sporting ground. Shastri

21:30

in my day for no reason. We used to just

21:32

come to bat and they didn't like him as a

21:35

good looking guy or you know who he was. So

21:37

they would just say, Shastri, Hai, Hai, Hai,

21:39

Hai, Hai, Hai. Go on. I was the only guy

21:41

standing up there in Wangkadeh Stadium fighting for Ali Shastri.

21:44

And there's no reason that this match is going on. Is that a

21:46

go get a crawl? There's no reason to get a... So

21:49

I mean, it's not, it's very sad when if

21:51

you are a sport lover, you wouldn't do this.

21:53

Why do we do this? Indians! We don't need

21:55

to do it. Aplog! But

21:58

having said that, there's no... trolling or anything

22:00

but not only were MI fans upset, there

22:03

were a lot of MI players upset as

22:05

well. So we know that there

22:07

was Surya who was upset, we know Bhumbra was

22:09

upset. We as in publicly know this. It's not

22:11

some inside information. You're jumping, you're jumping. I was

22:14

thinking Surya was upset about the decision. I

22:16

mean he pulled up on a social media. There

22:18

was that heartbreak emoticon that he put up right

22:20

after. What if you tell us you're a... I

22:23

have no idea. I have no idea. I ask

22:25

you as a person who's paid for country, state,

22:27

region, IPL, all these teams that you were paid

22:29

for. Do you get upset when somebody is jumped

22:31

as captain in the line from behind? Does

22:34

it upset the morale of the team? I bet. Take

22:36

those seniors, Johay. I wouldn't say it's up to you

22:38

whether you want to become a captain or not. And

22:41

from Mumbai Indians point of view,

22:43

I think they've always looked ahead.

22:45

In 2013 when Rohit became captain, Sachin was

22:48

captain of the team. Sachin was captain and

22:50

then Ricky Ponting became captain. And half of

22:52

the tournament Rohit became captain. So

22:54

they've always looked ahead. So I maybe said

22:56

a lot of things which have been said

22:59

whether it was communicated in a better way

23:01

or not. But they've looked at future. But

23:05

the decision which has been taken, you have to just take

23:07

it in your stride and try and

23:09

perform. All of them tried to perform. I mean

23:11

we saw the game. The way Rohit was involved

23:13

in the game, the way Bhumra was bold, the

23:15

way Surya was performing, scored 100 and all of

23:18

that. It's up to us whether how much do

23:20

we want to read between lines and

23:22

how much do we want to talk about it. So now

23:24

that it's been done, we are playing a World Cup here

23:27

and Rohit is performing. Correct. So that's the

23:31

main thing. Steve Warren's book has mentioned 15 men

23:33

can't live together and be friends. I

23:35

mean you boss. Ultimately, big boss had

23:37

to come in. Social experiment. It's a

23:39

good social experiment.

23:42

End of the day. When you're working on your films or

23:44

whatever with the big crew and all, there must be enough

23:46

people who don't really like each other. Oh they want to

23:48

kill each other. But you also make a good production at

23:50

the end. So it's not necessary that you have to hold

23:52

hands. Yeah. I think you have a good time. I mean

23:54

it's more fun when you have

23:56

a good time. And I guess that's the aim

23:58

is when you play. when you make a film.

24:00

The point is that most of your should be

24:02

like a team. It's not that, you know, you

24:04

have to have dinner together every day

24:06

and be best of friends, but I feel it. If,

24:09

if there is a little bit of

24:11

disharmony, it's shown enough on screen. I

24:13

feel there is disharmony. It's shown in

24:15

a team sport. And I

24:18

just feel it's nicer when there's just

24:20

harmony around and it's done like a

24:22

team. And the prime example, I think

24:24

of this was when Ajankya captain India

24:26

and we won that epic Melbourne. Yeah.

24:28

I mean, we won the series, the

24:30

comeback test. The century, but

24:34

the whole test series is a final match. We didn't

24:36

have 11 players before. And then they come

24:38

back. So I feel they played like a team

24:40

and looked like a team who were, see

24:43

as an outsider, the stars were missing, the stars

24:45

were missing, but they played like a team. But

24:48

Rohit was also not there. Yeah,

24:50

Rohit was not there. Rohit

24:52

missed that game. I think he just missed

24:55

one game. He played two test matches after

24:57

that. So

24:59

he came for the last game. So I feel that, see,

25:02

they know the, I think he's playing the Marathi card. No,

25:08

but see as a pure fan, as

25:10

a pure fan, they know what happens

25:12

inside. You would never know, but they've

25:15

played the game. They know exactly what happens inside.

25:17

As fans, when you look from the outside, you

25:20

feel like, Hey, this looks like a team. It

25:22

is together. I mean, you

25:24

can tell Pakistan is not a team, but looks

25:26

like it's a team at all. So as a

25:28

fan, you can tell that something's. They also gave

25:30

him captaincy for five T20s in New Zealand. Shaheen.

25:35

Who gets one series? Pakistan is

25:37

like the chairman changes, then the captain changes.

25:42

Gary will last. Gary will last. Gary was, I

25:44

met Gary in Ahmedabad just before. But after that

25:47

statement of his, which got leaked out. Yeah. I

25:49

don't know whether it was his statement or not,

25:51

because I don't know whether to believe or about

25:56

the team being fighting. Yeah. But we didn't hear

25:58

it from his. Somebody

26:01

is saying he said it. Yeah. Yeah.

26:05

So, I'm going to assume he said it so that

26:07

we get more people. Q.

26:09

Q Gary. You are in Pakistan

26:11

now. You don't talk like this.

26:14

And you just mentioned that infighting will be there.

26:16

It depends on controlling it and playing together, working

26:18

on a movie, whatever. People have to come together

26:20

for the professional part. We don't have to. I

26:23

mean, I know that when you get angry on the set, people get

26:25

worried and all that. No, I'm very peace

26:27

loving. Yeah. Never. Never?

26:30

Never throw a tantrum. Never get angry with

26:32

the co-star or the director or... My

26:35

name means self-control. Sayam. I always

26:37

have Sayam. This is the reason you're giving.

26:40

No, I don't throw tantrums. Really,

26:43

very peace loving. I'm not

26:45

peace loving only when my... King. King.

26:49

King. All standards.

26:52

I didn't know that. Oh,

26:54

really? Oh, Maharajali Raja. Oh, I didn't know he's

26:56

the king. Wow.

26:59

I didn't know that he's the king. So,

27:06

King Ji, going back to the game, 56

27:08

batted first. But

27:11

the other thing I noticed, I remember

27:13

1995-96, Sri Lanka changing the 50-over concept

27:16

with the batting of Jaya Surya. Jaya

27:19

Surya and... Kallu Vithran. Kallu Vithran. Thank

27:22

you, sir. My first words... How

27:25

much about it? My

27:28

first World Cup was 99. I'm sure we are here 96.

27:31

Uncle said, you just give Uncle

27:33

respect. No, no. There

27:36

was no... One after another, they lost weekends. Guru

27:39

Sena, whoever came next, you know, Aravindar Desilva, all went for

27:41

it. So, I felt the same thing watching in the morning.

27:43

There were six for 28 in no time. When

27:45

you lose the two main batsmen of the

27:48

openers, Dhadra and Gurdwars, I

27:52

know it's 20-overs, but you have to change the strategy a

27:54

little bit. Definitely. They should have shown some respect. They

27:56

should have actually shown some fight. Even

27:58

if you're not scoring runs, that's all. A lot of players were

28:00

actually not thinking. Yeah, most of them, they don't

28:03

have the ability to play this kind of pace

28:05

and swing, spin or whatever. They were just going

28:08

out of the way, they're not coming behind

28:10

the ball and stuff, which will happen eventually

28:12

once they get out of Afghanistan, once they

28:14

get out of subcontinent, try and go and

28:16

play in South Africa or Australia. Anyway, they

28:18

have to do their camps outside of Afghanistan.

28:20

So, my days will do that in South

28:22

Africa, Australia, just to get used to pace

28:24

and bounds and all of that. But

28:27

there are a team in progress, work in progress,

28:29

there is no doubt about it, but they're the

28:31

right path because reaching World

28:33

Cup semi-final in this kind of

28:35

format is not easy. And it

28:38

was not that they were helped by rain

28:40

or they were helped by anything. They've beaten

28:43

Farrand Square to beat New Zealand and

28:46

Australia. How they beat

28:48

Bangladesh also? Yeah, there was drama. So

28:50

much drama. Have

28:52

you ever heard your hamstring just standing at first?

28:56

I've seen that. It's

28:58

not that I've seen that from a

29:00

lot of players. It

29:02

was a technical thing. It was a bit of

29:04

a challenge. I think it was a

29:07

time-lapse. I think it was a challenge. You

29:09

know, you have to have a hamstring to

29:11

do a performance-driven job. You have to have

29:13

a shoe that's not a good job. But

29:16

you have to try to qualify. You

29:18

know, Jirela Bansali was watching. You

29:22

also know what's out there. Indian

29:24

as Gulbadeen Hiramandi too. Yeah. But

29:27

you know, the recovery also, see, the recovery was for me

29:29

the best part of the drama. You want a happy ending.

29:31

I'm getting a wicked. Then he gets a wicked ending in

29:33

the match. After stalling it, they

29:35

win it. The best part was, when we

29:37

went to the next stage, he was trying

29:39

to stop smiling. Because he didn't want to

29:41

say anything. And then he

29:44

was stopping. I just

29:47

saw somewhere that Imran Tair also ready to

29:49

save Testaments for South Africa. Australia

29:52

has done it. Pakistan has done it. India has

29:54

done it. But the Australians have all come out

29:56

and said, oh, this is ridiculous. Michael Clark has

29:58

said it. Then who else? Australia is the last

30:00

team to talk about the spirit of the game.

30:05

They are far, far away from it. They

30:07

shouldn't get into it. But his most

30:09

entertaining story, I love it. Please tell us.

30:11

What he did to Matt Hayden when

30:14

he was debuting. I

30:17

know the Steve Waugh story. Steve Waugh, the Matt Hayden story

30:19

is, I just find it. You

30:22

see the Australia tour. Australia, the same

30:24

tour. So, you're playing

30:26

a one day game. When I wasn't playing, we

30:28

were playing, the game was in Brisbane. India was

30:30

winning. It was a tight game. Lakshmana

30:33

scored 100 and you beat Skodra Samran.

30:36

They were chasing 300 odd. And Matt

30:38

Hayden was smashing. He was biting 100. He

30:41

got out. I was, as usual, carrying drinks.

30:43

And then by the time I was passing

30:45

Matt Hayden, I said, I

30:48

did that to him. And then everyone

30:50

had drinks and then came back. So

30:52

Brisbane is the tunnel thing in the dressing room.

30:55

So he was standing at the tunnel, like big.

30:57

I mean, just imagine the size difference. Size. And

31:00

then he was like, if you do that

31:02

again to me, I will punch on your face. I said,

31:04

no, I will not do it. Inside.

31:07

What did you do? You just made a sound. Yeah, but he

31:09

got angry because he got out. I

31:11

mean, you do it to a batter who's gotten out.

31:13

But there's a king of sledging Baba. That's the problem

31:15

in Australia. But look at the bravery. You were 17,

31:17

18. He

31:19

was 17, 18 and he was attacking Steve

31:21

Waugh. He was mouthing off. This is just,

31:23

ooh. But fully mouthing him off. But that's

31:25

the problem. Why is Steve Waugh cracked? Who

31:27

doesn't crack? Nobody cracks Steve Waugh. He's the

31:29

ice man. But that's the problem with Australian

31:31

players. I

31:34

don't think they can't take it. They

31:37

aren't used to subcontinental guys giving up. Yeah, they are

31:39

not used to it. That's the problem. And everything has

31:41

changed after IPL. They've had to mellow down. They've had

31:43

to mellow down. They're not used to it. They don't

31:45

want to do it. They want to do it. One

31:47

time, they're going to kill you. They're going to call

31:50

you an Aussie actor. They

31:52

must be knowing all about you. Yeah,

31:55

yeah. I mean, no point. They're going to abuse anybody.

31:57

They're all here for six weeks, eight weeks at a

31:59

time. In the camps, there are

32:01

probably no different regional languages now. But

32:04

with the Stivo story, there is part 2

32:07

also. That was his last inning. That was

32:09

his last inning. And in 2018 tour, I

32:11

was part of the team. When

32:13

Stivo's son was there, that was the

32:16

Australian team, he was part of the

32:18

extra players. And when I was

32:20

walking by the boundary line, I said, Please tell

32:22

your father that you were

32:24

in your nappy when I made a test

32:26

debut. It

32:28

was a safe day, I had to give it back.

32:31

He was not prepared for comeback. Yeah, he was

32:33

not prepared for comeback. Because he probably had no

32:36

idea what I was telling him. It's a legendary

32:38

story. In his last game, of course,

32:40

his son would have known. He

32:42

was sent a legend in his last minutes

32:45

on the international cricket field. That's where we

32:47

are with the living legend. The king. I

32:49

love this story. We are with

32:51

the king. Stivo, we apologize.

32:53

We will take a quick break and send you

32:55

something from the king side. From the

32:57

king to you. And when we come back,

32:59

we will talk more about India. And remember,

33:01

we are recording this before the final of the 2024 Western

33:03

East T20 World Cup.

33:07

Should mention USA also. Because for some time. You should

33:09

have known those pitches. Yeah. Pitches

33:11

have gone back. Pitches have gone back to Australia. 250

33:14

minutes. My God. My match is a bit different. I think

33:16

it's a bit different. I think it's a bit

33:18

different. I think it's a bit different. I think it's a bit different.

33:20

I think it's a bit different. I think it's a bit different. My

33:22

match is a bit different. Alright. We were

33:24

just discussing match with Siaami for some reason. Off

33:27

camera. But they are preparing. We must tell

33:29

you that they are so hard working. They have

33:31

done the morning shift. We are shooting in the afternoon right now.

33:33

On the day of the two semi-finals. The morning shift

33:35

which is 5.30. Before 5.30,

33:38

they had to be in makeup and all

33:40

that ready for the first semi-final. AM. And

33:43

they have to be back by under 7 o'clock PM

33:45

for the second semi-final. And Siaami

33:47

just told us it's 250 minutes because expected

33:49

rain. We have to wait before the match

33:51

is declared as over. So it's going to be

33:53

a long night for both of them. And that is

33:55

why we have given her 3 cups of green tea. We

33:57

have never given any guest more than 2. I

34:01

am, thank you very much. I can see

34:03

that Cyrus is doing very well. There

34:07

is a plastic surgeon opposite. I can't take

34:09

her name. All these famous actresses, not your

34:11

age group, don't worry. My age

34:13

group also don't worry a lot. Abhivi, what

34:15

do you say? I don't

34:17

know. I don't know. I don't know. I

34:20

don't know. What are you saying?

34:22

Stop. We are triggered. Yeah,

34:24

yeah. I'm not kidding. How about

34:26

you? Which area? Lots

34:29

of areas. Okay, window,

34:31

picket, metaphor. Your body is the picket field. Okay.

34:36

This is third man. We keep it simple.

34:38

We just keep it simple. Lips and boobs

34:40

I was asked to do. Abhivi. Me

34:43

say, my heart is shaking. Don't

34:46

say big words like boobs and all that. What is going on? I

34:50

don't know. Drink

34:52

up something stronger. Drink up something

34:54

stronger. But

34:58

is that... Who does it do that? There are

35:00

directors. They say it. They

35:03

said, you don't have an upper lip. So

35:06

I said, okay, sir, what do I say? Then they

35:08

said, increase the nose also. I don't know how to

35:10

do increase the nose. Papika skipper. P.J.

35:15

I didn't notice that closely. She

35:17

had to go and see it so we had to go and stare. No,

35:19

no, no, no, everyone is going to stare. Why did she say it? But

35:23

I'm like 17-year-old and all this to old.

35:26

Oh my God, that's almost like sinful. It is.

35:29

I can't be part of Madeline giving back to the

35:31

Steve-walls. You are not going to do

35:33

that. Steve was the redire.

35:36

Also he's playing opposite T's. He's

35:38

like you're abusing some Bangladeshi directors. I'm going to

35:40

give different things. Wow.

35:44

You want to ask more questions? No, I'm okay. I'm

35:46

okay, sir. The doctor. Are

35:49

you fine? Are you a part of the Ramadhi? Okay,

35:52

okay. Just double check. He will go back to India

35:54

again. My God, say, I'm a huge deal. I'm

35:58

not scared that we have said everything wrong. I'm sorry

36:00

about the insulting of the lady to the cricketers. That's

36:02

not happening. No, but I mean, these are just factual

36:04

things. So there's a lot of girls who go through

36:06

this and nobody knows? Yeah, I don't

36:08

know if girls speak up about it. But young girls

36:10

are told to get their cosmetic surgery done and on.

36:14

And also do it before you debut

36:17

so nobody knows that this is how you look. Except

36:19

the 10,000 people who grew up with you. Yeah, those

36:21

don't matter really. You suddenly come with a big chest

36:23

like, Shifali, what matter? But

36:29

the general public doesn't know. The general public

36:31

is okay because, yeah. That's

36:33

terrible. Men also are told what

36:35

to do? I mean, I don't know, nose, hair. No, there

36:37

are men. I think there are lots of them who do.

36:40

I learned a lot of these new things. There's

36:42

something called fat freezing, which I didn't know about.

36:44

Which is a cool thing now, apparently. You were

36:46

discussing Pakistan. What

36:48

was that? Aizam. Aizam, please help

36:51

me. That's so... You

36:53

can't go directly. We're still

36:55

in there. I thought, you know, we have lots

36:57

to talk about. So get... Or you can

37:00

say, Moinkan, son. Who's very

37:02

fit, huh? Moinkan was very fit.

37:04

Huh? Yeah, yeah. I've played

37:06

against him. Fat freeze? Fat

37:08

freezing. So fat freezing. I

37:10

don't know. Do you freeze your fat? I

37:13

don't know the science behind it, but apparently there's

37:15

some... You freeze your fat and

37:17

then there's some other... Something

37:19

called some sculped machine

37:22

or something like that. Which gives

37:24

you six packs quickly. So the male guys do

37:26

a lot of that. Wow. The

37:29

scientists don't waste your time. I know how much

37:31

time you spend pumping. But I don't need cardio.

37:33

So no six packs. I

37:36

find... I'm like racist with cardio. Cardio for me is

37:38

a race I don't like. Yeah, I mean, you don't

37:40

know if your wife's in a full or half. The

37:43

only thing my wife and I do together is you both shave

37:45

our legs. Okay? But then

37:47

she runs and I work out. I

37:49

lift weights. We do very different things. But we use

37:51

the same race also. But I must send her to

37:53

this director. The

37:56

director's name is what? I must send my wife to this director. Okay. So

37:58

you're not a I'm not falling for

38:01

that. So, even with two

38:03

hours sleep, I'm not falling for that.

38:05

Yeah. I'm so

38:07

close. Why

38:09

missing she said it? That's

38:11

what she does. Even when she comes and

38:13

she tells stories, she's like, I know someone,

38:16

I know a close friend, and we ask

38:18

her who, and she won't say names. But

38:20

by then PPPD already has an individual. PPPD

38:22

knows it all. You're going

38:24

to have good chemistry, but hey, you

38:27

should pay them more. You can make

38:29

chemistry. But I

38:31

don't know much English shows. But

38:35

don't you talk any mixed language? India

38:38

has reached a point where nobody is paying

38:40

attention. Bhojpuri

38:42

comes in the middle. But

38:44

Bhojpuri went viral. But

38:47

a lot of non-Bhojpuri people put it on. We

38:49

just like the sound. Just

38:51

the sound, the tonality of it. There's a

38:53

bit of over acting in the performance. I

38:58

didn't do Gujrati commentary, but I did Gujrati

39:00

shows for them. I don't know

39:02

whether I can do Gujrati commentary. I have not done it. But

39:05

Bhojpuri was fun. Give a big

39:07

hit. Yeah. So, till last year when

39:09

they came in first, they never thought

39:12

it will become that big. So,

39:15

suddenly they came to Hindi studio where

39:17

Akash Chopra, me and all of them

39:19

were commentating. You were commentating

39:21

in a subtle tone. So, they came and

39:23

said, Aapuuk Thotana. Aapuuk Thotana said, Aavas, but

39:25

Hani sakte. So, Akash said,

39:27

I think it's a very good audience. He said, I think it's

39:29

a good audience. He said, I think it's

39:31

a good audience. He is Delhi Gujhav.

39:34

It's close but fun. But this is amazing.

39:36

This fat freeze. I'm going to do another show

39:39

only on all this. I'll do some

39:41

more research and come. Yeah, man. This

39:43

is your documentary. We have someone

39:45

to make this documentary. I keep learning about. And next time,

39:47

names. Names also. Yeah, names also.

39:49

And doctors also. And directors

39:51

also. Directors also. Directors also. I

39:54

still want to do films, guys. When I come to a point where

39:56

I feel that, okay, now that's it. Then I'll

39:58

come to the show with all. the names right now. So

40:01

you should be thinking that any publicity is

40:04

a good publicity. No, my PR person is

40:06

sitting right here getting very nervous with his heart.

40:08

No, but I'm seeing cricket, we have the match

40:10

fixing. This is like body fixing. For

40:13

me, this was cheating, some sort of cheating. But

40:15

this has been around. But not young girls. I

40:19

understand as you age, people are then, you know,

40:21

trying to stay. Young girls, no, because now everyone

40:23

wants fuller lips and they want jaw and things.

40:28

It's acting. I

40:30

think you should be one-on-one. So

40:33

now we do the full podcast like this. Let's

40:38

see how it goes. I'll do it

40:40

to Parthiv. What

40:42

did you say to Parthiv Aydan? I'll

40:45

duck. Marthiv

40:48

Aydan actually wanted to fight. Well, he

40:51

wouldn't have, but he said that. But

40:54

then after it, we became good friends because we opened

40:56

together for CSK. And then he

40:58

wrote in his book, he said,

41:00

I'm sorry for my behaviour. Really?

41:02

I forgot. But today Rashid

41:04

also was pretty fired up. Two

41:07

days ago, he threw his bat. He

41:09

screamed at one of the fielders in the outfield also that day.

41:13

But today against Nokke,

41:15

he was doing the full ice tear. They had

41:17

a moment. They had a full proper moment. But

41:19

I think Nokke started. He started. But Nokke also

41:21

knew this is my wicket. They already fived down

41:24

for nothing. I had to do that. I had

41:26

to do 56 skills. So

41:28

sad. What a mess of a semi-final. But

41:31

let's go to the second semi-final before we run out of time with

41:33

all this extra talk. Again,

41:35

remember, this is sort of live, in the sense that we

41:37

don't know what's going to happen in a few hours. They

41:39

are back in the comm. I see that

41:41

Avi Go has really scarred you. As

41:45

the people who follow, I show no, Avi

41:47

came on the show. Twice he's come and

41:49

both turns he lost. Oh no, thank God.

41:51

Have you gotten him this year? We'll

41:54

pay for the show. Avi must not come on the show when

41:56

he's a final. You call him in the beginning. I

41:58

think pressure is on us, sir. Let's not

42:00

go into the space of who will win and

42:03

all. That will win. I don't know. I want

42:05

to ask a few questions. The batting line up.

42:07

I really want us to win. Rohit and Virat,

42:09

we don't know if they are playing again. Again,

42:11

this is a fan talk. We have to win.

42:13

Harbiraj was saying something like that. 2011, they did

42:15

it for Sachin. They

42:17

did it for these two legends of

42:19

the game. Someone said do it for

42:21

Dravid. That's his last. That's

42:25

my choice. He doesn't

42:27

want to be the coach. That's what he said. So,

42:32

and Gambhir's story is correct? No,

42:34

well, he has given interviews in W.A. He

42:38

is not a

42:46

champion. I am just telling him

42:48

congratulations. That's

42:50

him. Along with W.A. also

42:52

has given interviews. I

43:01

know he has given interviews. But they are not

43:03

taking the rambans name. I don't know. What I

43:05

heard is he wants to move with a lot of the Gujarat team.

43:07

So, I think Bharata Arun also.

43:09

Gujarat team? KKR team. KKR team,

43:12

sorry. Before

43:14

that, Cyrus, I want to

43:16

on behalf of all KKR fans, thank

43:19

you for what you have done. You know that he did

43:21

a podcast for them. He is the sole reason why they

43:23

have violence. It's clear. We

43:27

did all the podcasts before the first match. Sanity

43:29

was their first game against

43:31

Hyderabad. We finished everything on Thursday of that

43:33

week. And then wished them good luck and

43:35

we left. And they did offer us

43:37

seats at the back for that opening. But

43:42

anyway, took a long story short. But they were

43:44

talking about chemistry. They seemed to have very nice

43:46

chemistry. Everybody was getting along well. I don't know

43:49

if the star structure was a little less there.

43:51

Nobody was really... I think Gautam has played a

43:53

big role. Even when he was leading in 2012

43:55

and 2014 when he won IPL. kind

44:00

of security. I like him a lot. I like him to

44:02

criticise him. I interact with him. You know what I like

44:04

about him? He is very non-Indian quality. He is very straight

44:06

forward. That's what I was going to say. He is very

44:09

straight. I am very mild and all also. I smile, he

44:11

is smiling. He is smiling. He is smiling. He

44:14

won't dance. I am very happy when cricketers don't dance.

44:18

Because this whole thing of making this circus,

44:21

I want to see my cricketer talk about

44:23

technique, about sport. Got them as your way.

44:25

Because then everyone is made to dance. I

44:27

just have never got him. Parthiv is a

44:29

very good dancer. She knows. Shalok.

44:32

She is a solo dancer. You

44:35

can't shift the camera. Do

44:38

upper body. Because

44:44

of your interaction with the

44:46

KKR team. Only we wanted Shahru to

44:48

come on for the last episode. We had kept one episode

44:50

for him and we couldn't get his dates

44:52

for his own team. That's the way it is.

44:57

I believe we are lucky for them. I hope next

44:59

year they call us back. I

45:01

think the Indian team should have got you to do

45:03

a podcast with the Indian teacher. They are going to

45:05

Zimbabwe next. I mean for the world. I am not

45:07

in Zimbabwe. Zimbabwe. Sri Lanka.

45:09

Sri Lanka next. After Zimbabwe, Sri

45:12

Lanka. And

45:15

then Bangladesh. Wow. And

45:17

then the big Australia series. In between a lot

45:19

of games. My head is already there. Then there

45:21

is white ball, New Zealand tree test. New Zealand

45:23

tree test. Two against Bangladesh. Two against Bangladesh. Then

45:26

India is going to South Africa for T20. T20

45:28

is correct. My

45:30

head is already in November. So is mine. We

45:33

have all red ball. I mean T20. But

45:35

Jeeja. Jeeja. No, of course.

45:37

Batch is a match. But I am saying

45:39

that what you said about Melbourne. My head

45:41

just stands up when I think about it.

45:44

Couldn't believe we won that. The way they

45:46

bowled us out. And the

45:48

final, the gabat test. The gabat. It

45:51

was, forget all the heroes. All

45:54

the lesser known Hanuman Vihari. All put up

45:56

their hand loads. Ashwin must have been full

45:58

black and blue. Yeah. Washington

46:00

Sundar played at the end. Yeah, it was

46:02

so that no Luke 6. And

46:05

Rishabhai! Natarajan

46:08

was also there. The Yokos

46:10

specialist. I mean, that

46:13

team was least expected to win a

46:15

Test match, forget Test series. And

46:18

they went on to win the Test series.

46:20

That was probably the... Rope the Gabba record. I

46:22

have played so many Test matches in my mind in

46:25

Gabba and not once, you know, Parthiv. You were keeping

46:27

and all that. You spilled one cache of mine. Yeah.

46:30

I mean, it's 162 km per hour. You

46:32

know, I don't expect it to. Yeah. That's

46:35

too quick. I would take... You almost make a video

46:37

of playing cricket. How good is she? I want

46:39

to see. Like, obviously... You should next

46:41

time. I've seen lots. I've been watching all when Guma

46:43

was being pushed out there. And all, there's lots of

46:45

shots of you playing outside the shooting

46:47

also and all that. No, I play always have a

46:50

bat on set wherever I go because so much waiting

46:52

time has been done. Also, directors ask for lip job

46:54

and all. So that's why the bat...

46:56

Marb! To

46:58

use an Australian phrase. No,

47:01

but bat is always there in my car because

47:03

there's so much waiting time. But I have to

47:05

confess... Who do you play with? So

47:07

many. My spot bar is hired on the

47:09

basis of his fielding skills. Fielding skills. He

47:12

was so tired. He shifted all. Kesar, I showed...

47:14

My bad. My bad. Fending.

47:18

No batting ever. No batting ever. This system is

47:20

not changed. No, I'm not. I am very fair.

47:23

I give batting to everyone. But to

47:25

be very honest, I have to confess

47:27

that I'm just an

47:29

aesthetic cricketer because a lot of people who say,

47:31

we should try out for double double. International cricketer

47:33

sitting next to you is being humble, I understand.

47:35

No, they try out for double. I think the

47:38

women's cricket right now is gone to the next

47:40

level. They're power hitting, they're hitting big now. They're

47:42

hitting well, hitting big. He was fantastic. That's not

47:44

a pretty good example. Chirizar Simhir just now in

47:46

South Africa. So for me, I've...

47:48

I enjoy a women's cricket now.

47:51

That whole sexism is gone. He's gotten much bigger.

47:53

He's gotten way more aggressive. And they're very aggressive.

47:55

I mean, the series with Bhamladi is the one

47:57

who's fighting on the field. They

48:01

walked off the press conference because Herman Preet made

48:04

some jokes. Yeah. I was very

48:06

happy. You need all that sometimes to push the team

48:08

along. Our Indian women's team is really good. The

48:11

Australian team is still the best one and

48:13

the only team which can come closer to

48:15

both teams, men's and women's.

48:18

I don't think so. But

48:20

you're smiling, King, King, smile with Karu. See

48:23

the jambap, please, Bhav. See

48:26

the thing is that he's got a little... The

48:29

other day he said something on live TV. Something

48:32

that he said. And,

48:37

you wanted to say something but something else slipped

48:39

out. Oh yeah. And then he... I won't repeat

48:41

it. If he wants to, he can. And then

48:43

nobody... they were just trying to very cool. He

48:45

let it pass. But he gave

48:47

himself in and started smiling like this. I can't

48:50

stop. I couldn't stop. That was the one... You

48:52

should not make eye contact. That's the problem. But

48:54

the problem happened. It was one frame. Usually it's

48:56

like this. And I was the only one who

48:58

was talking. So then I

49:00

slipped. That said something which

49:02

I shouldn't have. And then GK started

49:04

smiling. And he was looking at V-Roo.

49:07

And then I couldn't stop. I

49:09

started laughing. And then he hung his head. Now

49:11

it's a long time for moment. And I was

49:13

like, what's the problem? Just

49:16

apologize. But he's not in trouble.

49:20

Not intended. Not intended. I

49:22

was like, I'm not a Missker. I'm

49:25

a short-wolder Missker. So

49:28

I was like, what's the problem? What's the

49:30

problem? I was like, my first

49:32

anchoring in the 90s. Client was called

49:34

London Blockly. Why

49:39

are you laughing here? Why are you laughing here? Why are you

49:41

laughing here? Why are you laughing here? Why are you laughing here?

49:43

Why are you laughing here? It's a Swedish name. It's

49:47

not terrible. But I did

49:49

it with a commentary also. First time, one of

49:51

the first broadcasting. Live

49:54

commentary. So obviously, I did producer and director as

49:56

an engineer. And

50:00

they were saying that Harman's knock is coming. I was

50:03

saying something else. I was not used to

50:05

ignoring that thing. I was like, I got

50:07

the bull dung. That's

50:10

not too bad. It's just that

50:12

I was talking something else. And

50:14

then he started saying, Harman's knock coming. When

50:16

she played at 175 against Australia. I

50:20

said, I don't know why I got the bull dung. And

50:22

then that commentary strand coupled

50:24

it and Akash Rupra were there together. And

50:27

they were like, I got the bull dung.

50:31

But worst things have been said. No

50:34

religious mistake or sexist mistake. These

50:36

are the non-sexual mistakes. Which

50:38

then you can't take it back. Never snive. Sorry,

50:41

my intent is also not there. It's purely

50:43

coincidence that happens. Very sad. But we

50:45

are running out of time. So quickly, as we

50:48

approach the semi-final, remember that's the recording time.

50:51

You're saying India will win. Fine. But I want

50:53

India to win. But I

50:55

didn't ask one thing. Same batting order? Yeah,

50:58

I don't think I asked. You won't change anybody? No. Michael

51:01

won this again. I'm

51:03

firing him from someone else's shoulder. It's not me

51:05

saying it. Michael suggested that the only change if

51:08

at all because of the way Virat's played. He

51:10

wants to see Yashasri in the team. Yashasri

51:12

has got it. It's her colleague. So he said that

51:14

there's no other place where if you have to get

51:16

Yashasri in, who goes? But

51:19

obviously that was missed. No, I don't think that's going

51:21

to happen. It's not going to happen. And it should not

51:23

happen either. So Virat has done

51:25

so much in so many years. These are three, four. He's a

51:27

big match player. He's a big match player. I think he's going

51:29

to play big. But

51:32

just Michael won that headline. How can he

51:34

get a headline? He knows only. He

51:36

comes from Indian market. Yeah, he knows. He can get

51:39

only headline if he says the drop Virat Kohli. Yeah.

51:41

Why will he drop it? We are discussing it. Yeah,

51:43

but why? Because he's only. Because he's playing in England.

51:45

No, that's the only thing. He's not a big match player.

51:47

He's a big match player. He's not going to play in

51:49

England. Also,

51:51

once you take Rohit and Virat to the tournament, you have

51:53

to play them. Correct. They're not that age where you take

51:56

them and they're sitting on the side. And it's no sense.

51:58

And it's not Virat scored a lot of runs also. It's

52:00

not. I agree. I feel fantastic. Great IPL. Testing

52:03

is good. Everything is good. No, today I really feel that it's

52:05

going to be his day. Stop singing what

52:08

happened last time, then again they'll abuse us. Not

52:12

us. We are not saying. We are not, but one

52:14

frame. So, all this code

52:16

has to be AK. See, I am just

52:18

saying that I want him to go big.

52:20

He plays big on big days. So, I

52:22

think today, fingers crossed, will be his

52:24

day. But, Dusri, we are only changing

52:26

you guys. You already said. I

52:29

think the better thing is that, England has

52:31

relied on Butler and Salt. And they fail.

52:34

That will be very different for them. Because they have really

52:36

top orders delivered a lot. What do you think, King? Top

52:38

order fails and they might be in trouble. Top order fails

52:40

and they might be in trouble. The only problem is Butler

52:42

is back in form. Yeah, he's back in form. He's

52:46

still in salt. And what do you think about it? Okay,

52:48

that is the reason why England is a

52:51

dangerous side. Because you never know. You

52:53

never know. You never know. It's a

52:56

day. And you never know. Also,

52:58

depending on the weekend again, they

53:00

got Mark Wood, Jofra, Acher, Pyaopis.

53:03

Mark Wood is on play today. Mark Wood on play. Please Jordan

53:05

for sure. Jordan because he got wicked. Michael,

53:09

you made a mistake. I played wood.

53:12

No. He got a hat-trick

53:14

and they don't have someone who can bowl in

53:17

their toes. But Chris

53:19

Jordan is someone, I compare him with Air

53:21

Jordan. He's always expensive.

53:27

That's what I mean. He's

53:29

there, designated that bowler. But

53:32

he did get wicked. I've always seen him

53:34

going for it. Even in the 22 semi-finals,

53:36

he was the only one who got hit.

53:40

And that game. So

53:43

if you go into the finals and play South Africa.

53:46

Anything but a good one. What

53:49

chances are better there? Final

53:53

is a completely different beast. Our

53:57

chances are better because the way South

53:59

Africa handles. pressure. And so when you're

54:01

playing against India, the ground atmosphere, everything

54:03

is completely different. It won't be like

54:05

today's Afghanistan game, where there's no one there.

54:07

There are hardly a few people. But

54:10

then for South Africa, this is big occasion. You know,

54:12

there's a lot of expectations. There's a lot of choker

54:14

tag. All

54:16

the young players want to get that tag out of it.

54:19

So it will be how they

54:21

handle the pressure. It will be finals all about

54:24

handling the pressure. We don't

54:26

feel South Africa means I've just

54:28

loved Bhumra through the World Cup. He's just

54:30

such a delight to watch. So and we've

54:32

seen the top order. We've seen these are

54:35

Hendrix. So we need today was today was

54:37

29. He got just facing 56 top order

54:39

and our bowling attack will

54:45

be exciting. I steeped. I think more

54:47

because of the movement. 14 of them were mistaken. He's

54:49

about swinging the ball. They can't believe the luck that

54:51

we can solve helping them coming from India. This will

54:53

all depend on how India plays today. And

54:55

who batting first makes a difference for you? Babdos

54:58

yes. It does morning game.

55:00

So when you're batting first, you post

55:03

runs and that's what you do. Pressure

55:05

of the final. Pressure of the final. I'm trying

55:07

to get 170, 180 plus South Africa who can't

55:09

handle pressure. Rahul,

55:13

make sure we bat first. I'm close.

55:16

Nikhil Sinhappa, who used to work at MTV, they were in the

55:18

same college. St. Joseph's

55:20

in Bangalore. But they're

55:22

close. Just make sure we

55:25

bat first. Whatever happens. Take

55:28

it from there and don't change the team for semis and

55:30

finals. Same thing.

55:32

That's what the king wants. And you also you

55:34

agreed. I agree. You're

55:36

saying Michael won. No, I totally agree.

55:38

No, you can't. He's too big a

55:40

player on big occasions and he shows

55:43

up on the big day. So and

55:45

it's just the energy he brings to the team. Like

55:47

you have fear before he comes

55:49

on. He just comes with it. He's

55:52

also got the same Parthiv Koli. King

55:54

Koli. They call him. Both the kings. So

55:56

Parthiv Koli is the right name. From now on we have to

55:58

call him by the right name. So you

56:00

are kinking, you are taking part in the

56:03

koli. You are only shouting, you are taking

56:05

part in the koli. You

56:07

are saying fast. You are timing the cheese. You are getting

56:09

it right in the kink-us case. It will

56:11

happen. It will happen. Anyway

56:14

guys, thank you so much for being on the show.

56:16

And I know you had already a long morning and

56:18

a long evening. But we have to do some AMAs

56:21

before we pack up. Very fast. And

56:23

AMAs are right here. Let me read

56:25

them out. Follow

56:32

us on Instagram at what side we said. So the

56:34

best bits from the show. Memes and much more. I

56:37

am just saying much more. Nothing dirty I

56:39

promise. Okay, well I can't promise. But just follow and

56:41

see for yourself. Abhishek

56:45

Kalur, a human being called

56:47

Abhishek Kalur has said, this was Sayami, since

56:49

you have played cricket in both Gumar and

56:51

Sharmaji, are you interested in any other sports

56:53

film in the future that you want to

56:55

do? Definitely not cricket. I

56:58

have had enough of cricket. But always open to

57:01

doing more sports films. I love

57:03

sports. I love playing sports on screen. Okay,

57:06

and he says he is a huge fan of

57:08

Krebuz and Bhai Ghan Ka. What is that?

57:11

I said by Harshaswar. Some phrase.

57:13

Hyderabadi phrase said here. I don't know

57:15

how to prepronounce it. But

57:18

we will convey it to Harshaswar. Okay.

57:21

And for Parthiv, there are questions. Since you are

57:23

part of the scouting team for MI, not

57:26

last year but. Do you

57:28

have any special player for 2025 IPL with

57:30

so many states have got their own Premier Leagues

57:33

now? Have you seen any

57:35

upcoming players for the next year? No, I have not.

57:37

I have not travelled at all. I have not seen

57:39

any upcoming leagues. There is a Bengal Premier League happening.

57:41

There is a Satish Ghar Premier League happening. Wow.

57:44

There is Maharashtra Premier League happening. I should

57:46

not get at this one franchise. Yeah. You

57:49

should just say, you are a horrible team. I

57:51

have not seen any. Tell you where you can make

57:53

most money. Parthiv will tell you. Where will

57:55

we make most money? The Premier League? I don't

57:58

know. She is just throwing. She

58:00

is always honest. I don't think she is a very honest

58:02

person. Yeah, we all like to. She is scared. Bruce

58:08

Wayne says, for Sami, if

58:11

you were given a chance to reprise a role from

58:13

a Bollywood movie, which movie would you pick and which

58:15

character? From an older film? I don't

58:17

want to remake classics, but if at all I

58:19

could go back in time, Abhimans is my all-time

58:21

favorite. Amitha? I

58:24

am that old only in my head. You are a musician

58:26

also? No, I am a bathroom singer,

58:28

but a bad bathroom singer. But

58:31

I have been doing some training to get a little

58:33

better. He is a dancer. No, but

58:36

you are a bathroom singer. No one has heard you. So why

58:38

don't you just let us judge you. You can sing something. Then

58:41

we will sing. Next episode,

58:43

we will dance. I will sing you

58:45

dance. Is

58:48

there any song that you like to sing? No. I

58:51

am not saying sorry. But at parties

58:54

or family functions, what do you sing? I

58:56

don't sing at all. Not at all. Disappointing.

59:00

Hari Vis, one of our regulars, writes in

59:02

his sports crazy for Parthiv. He is a

59:04

Gujarat boy also. Congratulations on a wonderful stint

59:06

as Gujarat captain in putting GCA on domestic

59:08

map. I reckon Gujarat missed the golden opportunity

59:10

to make it to the knockouts last Ranji

59:12

season after winning their first two matches at

59:14

Parthiv. That's been such a long question. After

59:16

winning their first two matches against Tamil Nadu in

59:19

Karnataka. Your thoughts? Also, how will they go in

59:21

the upcoming season, next one, in the near future?

59:23

And are you looking towards coaching Gujarat at a

59:25

higher level? Did it fit all of that

59:27

you added stuff? This is half the podcast. You

59:30

have to remove the first half and

59:32

just put this question. So I will

59:34

just answer it in a short way.

59:37

Gujarat missed it because last year

59:39

was the rain off. So that's why points

59:41

were shared. So that is the reason why

59:43

otherwise, Gujarat would have qualified. The goal of

59:45

so much for Gujarat. All these days last

59:47

five, seven years, they are right up there

59:49

almost every Ranji season. So Gujarat has good

59:52

potential. And they played

59:54

really well. They qualified for Vijay Azareh one day

59:56

and all of that. So would you coach? I

59:58

don't know. I'm

1:00:00

actually qualified level 2 coach. I've

1:00:02

given an example. Coaching? No. Am I a mirror?

1:00:07

He's stuck with all this commentary. How can you do both here? That's

1:00:09

what I'm not doing. That's why I left

1:00:11

everything. It's easier. He's a headache. Yeah. Talking

1:00:15

is easier. Talking is easier and at the

1:00:17

most, some controversy, you say, sorry, it's over.

1:00:19

Yeah. No pressure. I think you should say

1:00:21

sorry right now. No, you should say sorry.

1:00:23

I didn't say anything. The

1:00:25

sponsors are saying sorry. You should say sorry.

1:00:28

I didn't say anything. He's just

1:00:30

accusing me. He said quite a few brave things.

1:00:32

They're very brave things. It is something.

1:00:35

There's nothing you have said. And then he said I've said it

1:00:37

on Krikbaz. I've said it on Krikbaz. I said that. We've

1:00:39

gone like a Dundinga history. I've said that. That's

1:00:41

advertising. He's able to get them to go

1:00:43

back to Krikbaz. You should get paid double.

1:00:45

I think it's not any. Just one more

1:00:48

thing which also I've said on Krikbaz, Abhihebi,

1:00:50

last month. Bangladesh

1:00:52

fans are as passionate as RCP fans.

1:00:55

So if you compare those fans, the Bangladesh

1:00:57

fans are like that. And as a result

1:00:59

also, that I didn't say. I'm just talking

1:01:01

about fans. I'm just talking about fans. They

1:01:05

are the most loud team in cricket. Yeah, they

1:01:07

are. They are. Bangladesh. They've

1:01:10

got drama. They've got drama. That time out

1:01:12

was really unnecessary. Yeah, they can do it. I think

1:01:14

he was so stunned. I can still see his expression.

1:01:16

Yeah. Believe it like someone died

1:01:18

or something. What are you saying? No, I didn't believe it.

1:01:20

That strap and all that. No, that issue was. He

1:01:22

was just putting it on. He was just trying to

1:01:25

put it on. Nothing more. Thank you, Parthav. Thank you,

1:01:27

Siaomi. And you can see them on Krikbaz. But

1:01:29

they'll still be there for the final. Yes. And

1:01:31

come on, which team? India. India,

1:01:34

all the way. In case, the pain is... Take the

1:01:36

takesle there. The pain is... No, no.

1:01:38

Ready? Fingers crossed that this

1:01:40

is the lucky charm that we need,

1:01:42

that you've been for KKR. Wow.

1:01:55

What pressure? Yeah. Now,

1:01:57

my kick. KKR won't call me back if he was. She's

1:02:01

saying fingers crossed I'll get more movies because

1:02:03

I've come here. That's everything she'll say. Yes,

1:02:05

you should say it. Say everything. Did you

1:02:07

ever work with those directors? I

1:02:10

did an ad. Still? You did?

1:02:12

No problem? I mean

1:02:14

my lip was a problem but I did it. For him? Yeah,

1:02:17

I did that. But after they mention it once, they don't

1:02:19

say anything? No, no. They say that for the future you

1:02:22

should have a fuller lip. It's just advice to you. It's

1:02:24

not like you have to do this. Advice

1:02:26

means for my betterment of my looks.

1:02:29

I had an ad director who was really unfit. Spit

1:02:31

coming out of his mouth. He

1:02:33

said, you should have a fuller lip. I

1:02:35

was like, what? Spit

1:02:39

wasn't there but the other parts were. Other parts? I'm

1:02:41

sure. That's it.

1:02:43

I have to go to Kolkata. Get my

1:02:45

award. Thank

1:02:49

you Cyrus. Or

1:02:59

you can email us on
