1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,160
So Viru is doing this and singing away
2
00:00:04,200 --> 00:00:07,840
And 3-4-5 overs passed like this
I was wondering what is happening?
3
00:00:07,840 --> 00:00:09,880
I said, “Now you have to stop or else I’ll hit you”
4
00:00:09,880 --> 00:00:18,240
Still he was doing this and then in a hurry he told me,
“If I stop singing, there are a lot of thoughts rushing in,
5
00:00:18,240 --> 00:00:23,160
my mind isn’t in one place, it’s roaming here and there,
so to keep my mind busy, I am singing”
6
00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:32,560
Sathaye, congrats!
-Hello, sir!
7
00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:34,120
How are you?
-What The Duck 3!
8
00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:36,560
That’s amazing!
-Budget has increased a little sir
9
00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:39,240
That’s all fine..
-Hello guys!
10
00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:42,400
Oh, hello!
-Hello
11
00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:43,880
Oh, you’re here too?
12
00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:48,360
I give this to him all the time
Today, you’ll need this too
13
00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:51,600
Banana?
-Keep it, I’ll tell you the story
14
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:54,080
I know why he gave it to me, Sathaye
but I don’t know why he gave it to you
15
00:00:54,080 --> 00:01:04,680
Actually, Viru used to talk a lot in the dressing room
about whatever is happening outside, what to do and what not
16
00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:08,080
Basically what I used to do is,
far away from the dressing room
17
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:12,200
‘Viru!’
At least he keeps his mouth shut then
18
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:17,680
So when I saw you here today
I got this for the both of you, one goes here and one goes here
19
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:18,960
That’s very necessary!
20
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:22,640
Okay basically we’ll be quiet and Pajji will speak
-Sathaye, you’re lucky
21
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:27,360
Sathaye, you’re lucky! God himself has come to give you offerings
I have got it a lot!
22
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:29,280
Eat, eat, eat!
23
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:33,160
I have got it a lot!
-But Sachin,
24
00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:36,240
giving a banana in the dressing room,
shut his mouth, all that’s fine
25
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:39,960
What will happen in social media?
There you can’t shut him up
26
00:01:39,960 --> 00:01:41,520
No one can control Viru there
27
00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:44,200
No, there I can’t control Viru
28
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:45,600
First 6 overs…
29
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:51,040
But tell us
-But I have never written without asking
30
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:53,240
Without asking who?
-God!
31
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:56,320
No, no, Viru has that understanding,
he’s a non-striker
32
00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:58,880
Without asking God,
I haven’t written anything as such
33
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:04,400
One time I made a mistake, I wrote something but
I asked for forgiveness the way you asked
34
00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:06,480
I asked for forgiveness..
35
00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:10,120
But Virendra Sehwag, was he like this from the start?
-No...
36
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:18,480
Earlier I remember, when Viru entered the team,
he never talked too much with me
37
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:22,000
So I thought it can’t go on like this
38
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:27,880
We need to talk to each other If we are batting together, at least I should make him comfortable
39
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:30,840
So I told him, let’s go for a meal
40
00:02:31,640 --> 00:02:34,840
Before going for the meal,
I asked what he liked
41
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:37,520
Firstly he told me, ‘Pajji, I’m a vegetarian’
42
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:39,200
I asked, ‘Why?’
43
00:02:39,920 --> 00:02:44,600
He says,
‘I was told at my house if you eat chicken, you’ll grow fat’
44
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:45,400
I said, ‘Is that so?
45
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:50,360
Do I look fat to you?’
I have been eating chicken all these years
46
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:54,960
And then I asked Viru what he eats generally?
47
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:59,520
He said, ‘Homemade clarified butter,
it’s good, it makes no difference’
48
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:03,320
I said, ‘Come, we’ll try chicken and then slowly..’
-Diet Guru!
49
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:04,800
Now, Viru eats chicken
50
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:12,160
This was the first dinner he took me to
My first meeting with Sachin Tendulkar
51
00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:14,360
The God of cricket was..
-Oh!
52
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:19,160
I started watching cricket from the 92’ World Cup
So I used to see it on TV and copy the moves
53
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:22,880
that I’ll become like him, and play like him
When I first met him,
54
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:26,440
my perception was that
he likes me as much as I like him
55
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:29,240
So I met him,
he shook my hands and went ahead
56
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:35,400
I worship him and he just
said ‘hi’ and he went his way
57
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:41,600
I realised when I became a player, and some players came in the team saying they’ve seen us and learnt cricket
58
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:44,560
I also did the same with them,
shook their hands and went my way
59
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:50,680
Then I realised that when you meet someone for the first time, you only do the gesture of shaking their hands
60
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:53,000
You don’t come to someone until you know them well
61
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:56,160
So that’s why I was very shy when..
You were shy?
62
00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:57,480
I am still
63
00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:01,840
Put this on record, you’re listen to this again and again,
Viru was shy!
64
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:05,520
Because many cricketers have told me that,
never listen to anything Virendra Sehwag says
65
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:09,720
This is very important in dressing room because
people get influenced by whatever he says
66
00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:17,000
Anil Kumble told me that he was easily making 100 runs,
he was batting and then Sehwag came to him during drink intervals
67
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:20,360
and said, ‘What is this Anil pajji?
Score big runs, it doesn’t matter’
68
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:23,520
And Anil Kumble said he listened to him and
next ball he got out!
69
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:27,000
Sir, it was his century!
70
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:28,120
He still made one
71
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:31,080
On the Oval?
-On the Oval
72
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:34,720
I think, he dived for the 100th run
-He dived, exactly
73
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:36,840
I was not there in that series,
I watched it on TV
74
00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:41,680
Well, we talked about cricket
Now, post-retirement you must be doing some work
75
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:43,560
I researched
-Yeah?
76
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:51,200
In your house, people say that,
Sachin Tendulkar repairs whatever he sees
77
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:58,160
Be it a fan, light, and what do call it?
-Earlier in dressing it used to be my glove, thigh guard, bat
78
00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:03,280
If someones shoes are torn, repairing that and everything I used to enjoy that
79
00:05:03,840 --> 00:05:07,720
But after that, I sometimes get time at my home
80
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:09,880
I look for things to repair
81
00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:14,480
The housekeeping staff says that
whenever you’re at home, they get two t-shirts
82
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:16,720
because he’ll make them work all day
83
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:24,120
Housekeeping is fine, they’re working for me but
when Anjali gets involved..
84
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:30,080
then it’s a bit of a problem because she’ll always say
the house is looking good, why do this, why do that
85
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:34,720
And I can’t help it, it’s my habit
Move the painting from here to there
86
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:41,760
Change the color of the wall
Or put a mirrored glass
87
00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:43,440
Something or the other is going with me always
88
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:45,920
But why does he have to do all this?
He endorses so many brands
89
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:49,680
They have everything
Fan, light, painting, get them and put it up
90
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:54,960
That Viru does!
You go to Viru’s house, you’re sitting
91
00:05:55,200 --> 00:06:01,080
He’s given everyone a correct job. He’s told Aarti to run the school, someone will do this job
92
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:03,720
Then Sehwag is sitting like a king,
social media king!
93
00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:05,880
Okay Sathaye, what’s the name of the school?
94
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:08,280
Sehwag International School
-Sehwag International School!
95
00:06:08,280 --> 00:06:11,520
If you want an admission,
you can contact Sathaye too
96
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:13,400
I think, we..
-No but,
97
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:17,000
Congratulations and very well done because..
98
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:20,560
By the way, this is not marketing but honestly
99
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:28,160
No, I’m serious here because it is really a wonderful school and more such schools should be made
100
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:30,760
We always used to say in dressing room,
double it up!
101
00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:32,360
Will do that
-Amazing!
102
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:34,960
Thank you
Now the God has spoken so I’ll have to do it
103
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:39,520
But these things that we are doing now,
we did it in the dressing room too
104
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:44,800
Like he repairs my bat, repair Harbhajan’s shoes,
or repair pad or gloves
105
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:46,120
He does the same in his house now
106
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:50,480
My work during practice was to do throw downs for him
Now he has stopped playing
107
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:53,800
Now I do throw downs for my kids
I give them orders from my seat,
108
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:57,120
But by evening, I still have the habit of
doing throw downs so I do it for my kids
109
00:06:57,280 --> 00:07:03,720
I used to do it for him when..
Although he was never in tension, but whenever he was in tension then
110
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:04,720
He’d say, ‘Come!’
111
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:09,720
So I used to throw 100-200 balls,
and he even used to ask, what’s the issue?
112
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:13,600
So I always used to say,
‘God can never do wrong, just keep your head straight’
113
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:20,000
I learnt from him, the way his head position is right,
mine should be right too so I can play like him too
114
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:22,360
When his head falls down, so I tell him that one thing
115
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:31,240
Invariably we used to talk to each other
Like, what Viru can do from the non-striking end
116
00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:34,640
In practise sessions,
a lot of times we used to do throw downs for each other
117
00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:37,520
I know, he’ll say now I haven’t done any throw downs
118
00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:40,880
No, I wanted to say if
I have done 200 he has done 10
119
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:43,360
The ratio is always..
120
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:46,560
But the student will always do more
The master will do lesser
121
00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:52,040
But so many innings you have played together
In ODIs, you have done 93 partnerships
122
00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:58,240
Around 10-12 times you have had 100+ partnerships
Some 20 times, you have had 50+ partnerships
123
00:07:58,520 --> 00:07:59,360
So you’ve done very good batting,
124
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:03,600
but did you know the first time that
your partnerships will go on with him for so long?
125
00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:07,440
Because you were his captain too
And only one T-20 match he has played,
126
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:09,920
where you were the captain
127
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:12,360
So, Sachin Tendulkar..
-That I remember
128
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:14,000
I think that was in South Africa?
-South Africa
129
00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:18,560
I was trying to ask him
If you have to tell him that he needs to go for fielding,
130
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:22,280
so can you just say it or do you have to say, ‘Sir, will you please?’
-With authority!
131
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:25,280
Say it with authority, ‘Hey, go there’
No, no
132
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:29,560
But I don’t have to tell him
because whoever the captain of the team is,
133
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:33,880
his aim is how he can contribute to help the captain
134
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:39,000
That was the biggest, would say,
benefit of having Sachin on our team
135
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:43,080
that whoever becomes the Captain,
be it Dada, Rahul Dravid, MS Dhoni
136
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:47,320
I mean, one time during MS Dhoni’s captaincy,
most decisions he wouldn’t go and say directly
137
00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:51,120
‘Lala, go tell him this’
So Lala used to get stuck between them
138
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:53,440
So I used to say, ‘MS don’t..
-No, you were the vice-captain too
139
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:57,840
‘MS don’t kill the messenger,
I’m just passing the message’
140
00:08:57,840 --> 00:08:59,520
So that benefit we used to get
141
00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:03,840
Even when I was the captain for one match,
he was saying, ‘put him here and put him there’
142
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:08,080
I remember, Sri Lanka test match in Ahmedabad
-Yeah, right
143
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:09,880
Elephant memory
-No, exactly
144
00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:12,080
He even used to tell me
Now I’m stuck
145
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:14,760
At one side there’s Kumble and other side there’s Harbhajan,
tell them to stop speaking
146
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:16,600
So who will tell them to stop?
147
00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:20,960
So then I ask him to tell them, ‘Please stop,
let one person speak first’
148
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:25,120
I can’t tell Anil anything,
if I go to Sardar, he’s screaming that, ‘Tell Anil to stop’
149
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:30,680
So finally I have to tell him,
God, please go and tell them to stop’
150
00:09:30,680 --> 00:09:32,600
That’s why it was a very big help
151
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:37,040
We may become big players,
Yuvraj Singh, Virendra Sehwag, MS Dhoni and everyone
152
00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:41,320
because our seniors,
him, Sourav Ganguly, Rahul Dravid, Laxman,
153
00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:43,200
were very supportive, they used to help a lot
154
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:49,960
I must have seen for the first time in life
that MS Dhoni, who was so young, captained all three of them
155
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:53,040
Absolutely, absolutely
-So this was his greatness that
156
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:57,640
he played under his captaincy without any disturbance,
and support him completely and help him
157
00:09:57,640 --> 00:10:00,960
May be that’s why they are
great players and we are normal players
158
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:06,560
No, he’s praising me and all, it’s fine but
- Not because you’re here
159
00:10:06,560 --> 00:10:10,440
No, everyone’s aim was the same
I mean, it’s simple -Yes
160
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:12,720
Team’s objective is straight
-Captaincy…
161
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:18,320
Someone or the other has to become a captain
but everyone of us wanted to go and win there
162
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:26,720
For that, when an objective is formed,
There are different opinions, there’ll be discussions on it
163
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:28,240
Disagreements will happen too
164
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:31,720
But as long as the objective of the team is one,
-Objective is clear
165
00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:34,320
Then it’s right
166
00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:38,800
That was our point too, that there were different
opinions but everyone wanted to win
167
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:39,640
Absolutely!
168
00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:41,880
So that is what mattered eventually
169
00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:44,040
But you know Sachin Sehwag,
-Once we were in Mohali,
170
00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:50,520
he called me in his room and I went
He told me, “Tell the captain to push Gautam Gambhir to play”
171
00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:54,400
And Gautam used to be with me at all times
172
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:58,440
So I asked, “Why don’t you ask Gautam yourself?”
He said, “No, no, I will not tell any player,
173
00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:03,920
You tell the captain MS to push Gautam to play
because he is an important part of our team,
174
00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:07,640
because you and him have an opening partnership in Test matches,
which gives us the benefit”
175
00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:14,000
Then I went to MS and told him to push Gautam
MS said, “If someone is injured, how can I push them?”
176
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:15,760
So it’s his call that he’ll take
177
00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:24,120
And his concern was who’s injured and who’s not, who do we have to fit,
who do we make to play even if they’re a little injured to play
178
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:26,480
Not that we win a test or a one-day
179
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:27,360
Amazing
180
00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:32,920
But Sachin-Sehwag the opening pair, you started in 2002,
then came the time of separation
181
00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:37,400
In 2002, when England was touring India that is when we opened
-Correct
182
00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:39,240
And then there was a break
183
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:42,960
And then 2003 World Cup we saw Sachin-Sehwag again enter
184
00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:47,320
So the reunion that happened, is there a story behind it?
185
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:50,760
Actually what happened is,
our New Zealand tour wasn’t so great
186
00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:54,600
And I still remember, in the one-day series,
at the start I twisted my ankle
187
00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:58,360
And in the last matches,
I had to tape my leg and practice
188
00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:01,520
So I still played the last 3 matches
189
00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:04,760
My scores were 0,0,1
190
00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:10,320
First match zero- I used to talk to Anjali in the evening,
she’d say not to worry,
191
00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:13,160
Second match again I scored zero- she’d again say,
‘don’t worry, it’s okay’
192
00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:16,400
Third match I scored one, she said,
‘well played, it’s much better than zero’
193
00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:25,960
So she even jokingly asked me, ‘Which area code is this?
I’ve heard 011 is Delhi, 022 is Mumbai,
194
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:27,080
so which area code is this?’
195
00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:31,640
She was trying to get me in the right frame of mind,
in a good mood
196
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:33,480
So I play good in the next match
197
00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:35,560
From there I went to New Zealand,
198
00:12:35,560 --> 00:12:38,080
then went to South Africa to play the World Cup
199
00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:43,400
There too, in two practise matches,
I was batting at the 4th number
200
00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:49,840
We lost that match, so John Wright started panicking
that we have to do something
201
00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:54,200
He came to my room in the evening, and he asked me,
“Where do you want to bat?”
202
00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:58,120
So I said,
“John, wherever the team wants me to bat, I’m happy to bat there”
203
00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:01,040
“No, no, where do YOU want to bat?”
204
00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:06,760
I said, “You want my personal opinion?
Then I feel I should be opening the innings”
205
00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:07,760
Okay..
206
00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:13,040
That is when Viru and I started opening together
I think we played against Holland first, right?
207
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:15,160
Against Zimbabwe
-No, Holland
208
00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:18,680
First two games, Dada and Sachin opened
-Ah, right, right -Correct, correct
209
00:13:18,680 --> 00:13:21,600
So we got all out at 120 against Australia
We lost
210
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:25,360
A lot of chaos happened in India, stones were thrown,
our effigies were burned too
211
00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:27,880
And then we went to Zimbabwe
212
00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:31,280
So what happened in Zimbabwe is,
John Wright called a meeting there,
213
00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:35,400
and asked everyone to
make a chit of their desired opening pair
214
00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:38,680
So 14 out of 15 chits were Sachin-Sehwag
and one was with Dada
215
00:13:38,680 --> 00:13:41,320
I can understand Dada, that you must’ve put that chit
216
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:46,880
But then after Zimbabwe,
I and Sachin started opening matches in World Cup
217
00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:51,160
Although we didn’t do big partnerships,
but we still did partnerships of 50-70 runs
218
00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:54,280
Later, against Sri Lanka we did some 100 run partnership
219
00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:57,000
But winning
-Our starts were good
220
00:13:57,000 --> 00:14:01,320
We started winning and we got good starts
and we played till the finals
221
00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:05,560
But tell me one thing
-But our first opening in Kanpur,
222
00:14:05,560 --> 00:14:13,080
I’d like to say that, I got the chance for the first time to open with Sachin,
against England in Chennai and Kanpur
223
00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:18,600
In Kanpur, we made 100 runs in 12 or 13 overs
so when you asked, why the separation happened,
224
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:25,240
it was John Wright and Dada’s conspiracy to separate us
225
00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:30,440
Then later on, when they were happy we came to open
226
00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:35,320
Okay, you know how Viru is
227
00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:40,960
So we’ve heard a lot of stories that Viru used to sing while batting
Only you can tell us now,
228
00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:44,400
if he sang in tune, what he sang,
-And only..
229
00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:47,680
And when you have to tell him something, or change his song,
230
00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:50,040
so how do you communicate to Virendra Sehwag?
231
00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:54,760
So this actually started in World Cup, in 2011
232
00:14:56,000 --> 00:15:00,400
Again South Africa match, I precisely remember,
we were standing,
233
00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:06,120
he was scoring fours,
infact in all matches in the first ball he tried scoring fours
234
00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:12,800
So I was going to tell Viru that
it’s not necessary in every match to hit a four in the first ball
235
00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:16,440
The bowler can also put a good ball,
it’s alright you can score later
236
00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:19,120
But there was this thing with him,
237
00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:23,640
the first ball he had to score a four
-Direct!
238
00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:26,360
And he used to hit a four, whistling away
239
00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:29,520
That time it wasn’t whistles, but songs
240
00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:36,280
So I was wondering, I am telling Viru that,
‘Viru, this bowler might bowl here,
241
00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:44,160
you observe for 2 overs, and later for 48 overs he will observe you
You play’
242
00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:47,880
So Viru is doing this and singing away
243
00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:52,480
And 3-4-5 overs passed like this
I was wondering what is happening?
244
00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:54,600
I said, “Now you have to stop or else I’ll hit you”
245
00:15:55,440 --> 00:16:02,920
Still he was doing this and then in a hurry he told me,
“If I stop singing, there are a lot of thoughts rushing in,
246
00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:08,240
my mind isn’t in one place, it’s roaming here and there,
so to keep my mind busy, I am singing”
247
00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:14,760
So I told him, ‘At least let me know what is happening in your head,
then we’ll play accordingly’
248
00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:19,480
So that was it
I think it was the South Africa match only, right?
249
00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:24,680
I thought I was playing too fast because I wasn’t checking the score board
Suddenly, after 5-6 overs I glanced at the score board
250
00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:28,960
His score was 10 balls, around 28 runs
My score was 20 balls, 22 runs
251
00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:33,680
So I said, the opposite is happening here
He’s become Sehwag, I’ve become Sachin
252
00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:37,640
Generally it’s the opposite, I play faster
So that’s why I did not want to talk,
253
00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:40,920
because he might get disturbed
if I say something or he says something to me
254
00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:48,320
I think, they say, when you’re brains working fine or when you’re empty,
so you perform better
255
00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:50,640
That’s what was in my mind maybe,
I’m singing songs and hitting balls
256
00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:52,600
So everything was going good, it wasn’t necessary
257
00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:59,200
But generally, I was used to Rahul Dravid or Gautam Gambhir,
no need to talk, give a fist bump and do our thing
258
00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:01,880
Actually, those two were very serious,
259
00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:05,200
Gautam Gambhir and Rahul Dravid?
-Gautam was serious too and Rahul was serious too
260
00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:07,080
They don’t talk much
261
00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:13,760
We both had a habit of talking all the time
When Dada comes, I used to speak with him in Bengali
262
00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:19,160
so that the tension is low, be relaxed
and play a natural game
263
00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:24,360
Are you listening?
He speaks Bengali, Tamil, Telugu, everything he used to understand
264
00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:32,800
But in 2003, during the great India vs Pakistan match at Centurion,
then it felt as if you both were singing in tone
265
00:17:33,120 --> 00:17:36,280
Rafi and Kishore Kumar’s work was being done there
266
00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:39,840
And it felt as in the first 2 overs,
you wanted to win the match
267
00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:45,280
I think in the first over, just when one ball went to the wicket keeper,
you guys took a single
268
00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:47,120
That happened in first over actually
269
00:17:47,120 --> 00:17:48,960
Sachin, let me tell first
-Yeah, you tell
270
00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:57,440
The story is, we were fielding first, so entire 50 overs I was telling him,
Wasim Akram will bowl the first over
271
00:17:57,440 --> 00:18:02,320
And I was so bad with left-arm fast bowlers,
I got out to Chaminda vaas, Bracken in the first ball
272
00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:06,640
So I got out to all left arm fast bowlers
I was telling him this the entire 50 overs
273
00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:09,440
And he said, ‘No, my number is 2, I’ll remain at 2’
274
00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:14,120
After that, it was time for lunch
and I was running behind him then, pleading
275
00:18:14,120 --> 00:18:15,760
“No, my number is 2”
276
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:18,800
Finally I crossed the line, I said, take the strike- no
277
00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:20,440
Reached 30 yard circle- no
278
00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:24,000
Then suddenly he went straight to take a strike to Wasim Akram
279
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:29,320
So, he played with me throughout and I kept thinking that, ‘Was he playing with me?’
- I was just pulling his leg
280
00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:31,880
He alone should not get the license to do timepass
281
00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:39,080
Then I was a little less scared
First ball, he took a single and the second ball, I was on strike with Wasim Akram
282
00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:42,560
So what you’re asking about the keeper,
he wanted to save me
283
00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:46,440
So to save me, even if the ball goes to the keeper, we run
-Okay!
284
00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:50,800
That’s when he ran
-We, the outsiders, thought, ‘What a co-ordination!’
285
00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:55,680
No, we ran but on non-striker run,
I think..
286
00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:57,400
Moin’s?
-No, it wasn’t Moin
287
00:18:57,400 --> 00:19:00,800
Rashid’s? Wicketkeeper?
-Lefty batsman
288
00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:04,680
Saeed Anwar?
-Something like Imran, Farhad
289
00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:06,920
So that batsman was wicket keeping
290
00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:10,920
I think, the throw he made,
291
00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:13,160
I think, we were saved by this much?
292
00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:16,120
If it had hit the stump, you would have been out
293
00:19:16,120 --> 00:19:18,200
On direct hit, I was out
-Viru was out a little
294
00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:20,960
But better than getting out to Wasim Akram,
is getting run out
295
00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:28,720
Our plan was such, honestly, that
when we were sitting in the dressing room
296
00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:37,320
It was quite obvious that Pakistan’s bowling attack which was Wasim,
Shoaib, Waqar, Abdul Razzaq, Afridi
297
00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:42,840
But these three were the main bowlers-
Wasim, Waqar, Shoaib
298
00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:49,160
In their first burst itself,
they were going for only wicket
299
00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:53,120
Their theory was simple that
a few runs were made here and there that’s no problem
300
00:19:53,120 --> 00:19:55,400
They have to take 3 wickets, fast
301
00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:59,880
Our plan was that even if we don’t get runs in the beginning
302
00:19:59,880 --> 00:20:02,440
but…this was my plan.
303
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:08,000
I don’t know what he must be thinking,
he’s whistling and there must be something else going on in his head.
304
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:09,880
Have you ever listened to anyone, Viru?
305
00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:10,800
I’m listening now.
306
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:18,200
The plan was that if we don’t lose wickets in the first 5-6 overs,
then we’ll get runs anyway,
307
00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:22,200
because we had good batting, it was quite deep.
308
00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:30,800
Rahul was number 5, then Yuvi, Kaif, Dinesh Mongia…
there was quite a god batting.
309
00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:38,080
So we knew that if we don’t lose wickets quickly,
then we’re very much in control of the game.
310
00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:46,080
But the second thing is both of you have had good relations with Pakistan,
you’re the Sultan of Multan.
311
00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:46,800
Sultan of Multan.
312
00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:49,480
Ya you’re the Sultan of Multan and
you’ve had an amazing performance.
313
00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:54,160
So you must have some stories about Pakistan.
You’ve told us all the Shoaib Akhtar ones.
314
00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:58,640
I think we were playing a Test match in Bangalore,
and I was in very good form in that series.
315
00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:02,520
I made 201 in the first innings.
316
00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:08,120
So I was batting and Inzamam Ul Haq was standing in the slips
and Kamran Akmal was the keeper.
317
00:21:08,120 --> 00:21:12,680
The batting went on for long so long off, long on, mid wicket..
Danish Kaneria was bowling on the pad.
318
00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:15,600
So I told Inzy bhai, “Call the long on ahead.”
319
00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:16,480
He asked “Why?”
320
00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:17,800
I said, “I want to hit a six.”
321
00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:19,960
He laughed and said. “You’re kidding.”
322
00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:23,760
I said, “No I’m not. Call him ahed for one ball
and I don’t hit a six, send him back.”
323
00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:28,720
So he called the long on to mid on, Danish Kaneria bowled,
and I hit a six and then he sent him back.
324
00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:33,200
Kaneria got really angry. He was like.
“ Inzy bhai, why did you call him ahead?”
325
00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:34,040
He replied, “You just bowl.”
326
00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:40,280
He didn’t know the story…
Such incidents happened with Inzamam.
327
00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:45,120
Inzy was a good man.
Absolutely. I had a brotherly relation with him.
328
00:21:45,120 --> 00:21:48,360
He thought, ‘My brother has asked me to move the fielder,
he wants to hit a six.’
329
00:21:48,360 --> 00:21:52,840
Inzy was very calm, he never got angry.
330
00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:54,960
Have you had any interesting conversation with Inzamam.
331
00:21:55,760 --> 00:22:00,520
No we never really talked that much,
Inzy anyway talked less.
332
00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:06,240
For me a memorable experience was when we were in Pakistan.
333
00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:09,360
We had a practice session in Lahore.
334
00:22:09,360 --> 00:22:12,880
Their practice session was getting over I think
and ours was beginning.
335
00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:17,520
So before we began, Inzy brought his son with him there.
336
00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:23,840
He said, “He’s a big fan, he wants to meet.”
337
00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:25,520
He had made him meet his son.
338
00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:32,160
I still remember, Whenever I used to speak with Inzy
339
00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:40,000
he was very respectful and
we started our careers at the same time more or less.
340
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:48,040
He started in 1991-92 and I started around that period only. ’89.
So we had a good relationship.
341
00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:48,840
There was warmth.
342
00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:54,880
One of the players actually told me once that
he came up to you and said, “He’s my son but he’s your fan.”
343
00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:58,720
Yes he said things like that,
but you know…
344
00:22:58,720 --> 00:22:59,640
That is very sweet.
345
00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:04,520
Yes. And the kind of rivalry we have.
346
00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:14,160
The Pakistani captain, Inzy was captaining them,
to say something like this to a player from the other team, it takes a lot.
347
00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:16,360
There must be funny stories about Pakistan also right.
348
00:23:16,360 --> 00:23:21,240
I’ve heard that Pakistan was scared of Debashish Mohanty,
left handed batsman.
349
00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:26,880
And there were incidents were people were confused about
which direction he was swinging, does even he know?
350
00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:31,840
There is a very funny story about Debashish Mohanty.
We were playing the Sahara Cup
351
00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:37,720
and at that time Srinath was injured, Venkatesh was injured,
I think even Anil was injured.
352
00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:41,120
And Bhajji hadn’t made his debut.
353
00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:51,040
So Abey had hardly played 5-6 matches, one day matches.
Debashish was playing for the first time.
354
00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:53,000
Harvinder Singh was playing for the first time.
355
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:59,920
I was thinking who should open between the two. So I said,
“Debashish, you do it because your ball swings a little more.”
356
00:24:01,120 --> 00:24:07,480
So in the first four matches, Debo got Saved Anwar out.
357
00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:13,560
Coincidentally after the fourth match, we had a function there.
358
00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:16,840
So Saeed Anwar comes up to me and says,
359
00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:21,400
“Everything is fine, but tell me one thing.
What does Mohanty do? What is this man?”
360
00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:22,920
I asked him, “Why?”
361
00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:29,240
He said, “He comes running like this and he bowls.
If I leave it, it comes inside, if I play it, it goes outside.
362
00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:31,520
What should I do, I don’t understand.
363
00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:36,720
And above that he comes running like this and asks
‘Do you know what I’m going to bowl?’
364
00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:39,000
So I said, “No, I don’t know anything.”
365
00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:43,480
Oh so there is a question in action.
Yes, there was a question in his action like this.
366
00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:49,160
So he told me that he comes like this and asks
what am I going to bowl. I said I have no idea.
367
00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:52,440
And coincidentally in the fifth match,
368
00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:59,080
I was in the slips and Saeed Anwar survived for a long while.
369
00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:02,440
I thought he was talking yesterday and today he has survived.
370
00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:09,080
And the level that Saved Anwar used to bat,
we were scared that he would take the match away from our hands.
371
00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:17,720
So I removed the slip and I don’t know why,
I went and stood at the short square leg, in front of the umpire, like catching.
372
00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:23,960
And the very next ball, Mohanty bowled in his legs,
he flicked and it was in my hands. I looked at him.
373
00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:27,360
‘See, when a bowler gets after you,
then you can’t escape.’
374
00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:32,640
I’ll tell you Paaji’s brilliant performances off cricket.
375
00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:35,880
I’m a little scared of him because
he gives very good predictions.
376
00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:39,600
Once there was a Roger Federer-Cilic match going on
377
00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:44,240
and he told me what’s going to happen in the 3rd. 4th, 5th set.
He was like I come to know by observing the body language.
378
00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:50,520
You used to bat with him, you’ve given brilliant performances.
Did you ever feel that he can see the future?
379
00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:53,680
What did you learn from Sachin Tendulkar?
380
00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:58,600
He has so much experience,
that he used to play with the bowler in his mind.
381
00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:04,640
‘He’s bowled an out swing, and I have hit a four, so the next one,
he’ll either bowl back of line or on the wicket.
382
00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:07,240
So these predictions of his usually came true.
383
00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:08,160
So that’s why..
384
00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:15,440
200 test matches he has played,
that’s why making 18000 runs is not an easy task
385
00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:16,240
Banana?
386
00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:18,760
Just showing it you
387
00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:22,520
This is not a lie, it’s the truth
388
00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:27,120
I feel that, I have learnt these things from him
Later on I started thinking that,
389
00:26:27,120 --> 00:26:30,000
If I have scored two 4's here,
then next balls will come here
390
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:34,960
And he used to share this while playing,
‘Lala, be ready, it’ll come straight now, might hit your pad’
391
00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:37,720
He used to tell this earlier on and next ball would come straight only
-Wow!
392
00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:40,360
So, I got a lot of help, all thanks to him
393
00:26:40,360 --> 00:26:46,480
That’s why I say when you walk with a lion in the jungle,
no one looks at you, because everyone is scared of the lion
394
00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:48,440
Okay, that’s why you pile on scores?
-So I quietly score runs,
395
00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:52,680
because I already know,
this bowler is going to put a ball like this then..
396
00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:54,640
Wow!
-which has helped until now
397
00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:57,720
But has this ever happened that
you’re going through a bad patch
398
00:26:57,720 --> 00:27:04,600
and he said something that changed things?
-I was not making enough runs, almost in 15-16 matches
399
00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:07,760
so I was talking to him how I’m not making
runs and I don’t have confidence
400
00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:12,360
He said that this time comes to everyone, it had come to him too
But I couldn’t understand
401
00:27:12,360 --> 00:27:13,920
I asked him, ‘How will I make runs?’
402
00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:18,040
So he told me one thing,
‘Your mother and father are sitting at home, watching you on TV,
403
00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:23,680
So you try that you remain there for an hour or so
If Virendra Sehwag remains there for an hour or so,
404
00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:25,960
they’ll know that he’ll make runs anyhow
405
00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:29,560
So indirectly he told me to stand there for family,
-Wow!
406
00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:34,000
so that your runs are made automatically
‘You just think that you have to show yourself for an hour or so’
407
00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:40,760
If any batsman remains on the field for an hour or two,
which I tell my players during mentorship,
408
00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:42,880
that if you spend those one hour on field,
409
00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:46,320
your survival time is done there
after that runs will be made anyhow
410
00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:47,680
Are you giving the royalty for this to him?
411
00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:49,960
That day I did not make runs actually
412
00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:55,640
We talked about good things
But I will give you some statistics
413
00:27:55,640 --> 00:28:00,080
that in ODIs, both of you have run out each other 4 times
414
00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:03,280
Who gave the call? That’s what I want
415
00:28:03,280 --> 00:28:07,080
Thank God, the number is the same
416
00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:12,120
If it had been 4 and 2, then today..
-I will give you one more statistics
417
00:28:12,120 --> 00:28:14,680
I’ll give one more statistic that in test matches,
418
00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:18,320
he never got you run out,
but you have got him run out once
419
00:28:18,320 --> 00:28:21,560
Let me tell you, this was not my mistake
-I will clear this
420
00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:23,200
It was not his mistake
421
00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:26,520
I still remember, we were playing in Adelaide,
422
00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:29,240
and Johnson was bowling
-That was my comeback match
423
00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:34,640
My calculation happened so that,
I had played the ball towards short mid-wicket
424
00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:38,720
and Johnson’s ball’s follow through
always goes to this side
425
00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:43,400
So if you ever notice, if someone hits a straight drive towards Johnson,
the ball goes from the front
426
00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:46,240
It did not spark my tube light
427
00:28:46,840 --> 00:28:50,760
So it was not Viru’s fault
See! -Thank you, thank you!
428
00:28:50,760 --> 00:28:55,240
No one can forgive what you did to him
429
00:28:55,240 --> 00:28:59,040
What did I do now?
-World Cup 2011, in Bangladesh
430
00:28:59,040 --> 00:29:01,600
In the first match right?
-You got him run out in the first match
431
00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:02,960
and that is not correct
432
00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:07,040
See, later on I apologised to him
If you tell me, I can do it on camera too
433
00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:12,720
In the dressing room I was saying, ‘Viru! What did you just do!’
I was like this
434
00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:18,320
But then, by the end of the inning, ‘Come here man’
-‘What did you do!’
435
00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:21,280
I said him sorry then itself
-His batting is amazing
436
00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:26,040
My mistake was, when he played short,
he was saying ‘Yes’ and running after making the shot
437
00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:27,720
My eyes were on the ball,
438
00:29:28,120 --> 00:29:32,440
so I did not see him, buut generally our understanding
was that we see each other and run,
439
00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:35,400
But at that time I missed it
-Watch the ball not during running
440
00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:37,600
Exactly
So that was one mistake
441
00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:42,120
I had come newly for test cricket, in 2002,
against England
442
00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:47,640
So I was scoring sixes, fours and reverse sweep fours,
and he was batting with me
443
00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:52,640
I told him, ‘They are bowling easy, why are you playing slow?
Step out and hit one’
444
00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:56,960
He stepped out and the ball turned,
he got stump out
445
00:29:56,960 --> 00:30:00,400
And he said the ball isn’t spinning
446
00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:03,400
I said ‘Yeah, but he his bowling that way too’
447
00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:05,520
he was bowling on negative line
448
00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:09,920
But that one ball turned and went straight in the hands of the keeper,
and I said, ‘Viru’
449
00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:14,040
Just one time sir has got stump out, all thank to you
450
00:30:14,040 --> 00:30:17,080
Exactly! Once in test match and once stump out, with me
451
00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:19,920
Run out wasn’t my mistake
452
00:30:20,320 --> 00:30:21,760
Not in run out
453
00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:26,240
The other one wasn’t your mistake too by the way
454
00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:30,320
I was playing, how could it be your mistake
-No but I gave the idea
455
00:30:30,840 --> 00:30:34,480
In 2011, one more mishap happened,
456
00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:39,000
which you always talk about
that he did not let you see the match
457
00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:40,640
Final?
-Final
458
00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:48,800
And earlier you used to say, ‘Pajji taught me to do this, not do this,
this is not correct, superstitions are not necessary, concentrate on the ball’
459
00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:54,240
And that one day When anyone asks Virendra Sehwag,
what is your favourite moment in life?
460
00:30:54,240 --> 00:30:55,280
He’ll say, ‘I did not see it’
461
00:30:56,120 --> 00:30:57,120
Because of you!
462
00:30:57,120 --> 00:31:03,040
No, we were sitting like how he is sitting and like how you are
So, he was sitting in front and I was facing the back side
463
00:31:03,040 --> 00:31:06,440
When I was about to stand, he told me to sit down
and then someone hit a 4
464
00:31:07,080 --> 00:31:10,520
I was sitting and talking and again when I was about to stand,
someone hit a 4
465
00:31:10,520 --> 00:31:16,480
Then he asked me to sit down there only and not stand up
We were sitting like this in front of the trunk, open it and it had his coffin
466
00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:18,160
It had pictures of Gods
467
00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:19,240
We were sitting like this
468
00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:27,440
So, finally in between M.S. Dhoni came in
and at that time Virat Kohli and Gautam were batting
469
00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:34,080
So, he told M.S, if righty gets out, then go for righty
and lefty gets out, go for lefty
470
00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:36,920
After saying this, he went to the bathroom and then back out
471
00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:41,160
And then Virat Kohli got out and
in place of him, M.S. Dhoni went for the batting,
472
00:31:41,160 --> 00:31:44,400
that’s why Yuvraj Singh didn’t play on number 4,
when he was making more runs
473
00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:50,160
So, that was also suggested by him
This was the first time he directly passed a message to M.S
474
00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:51,600
Otherwise it always went through Lala
475
00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:54,320
And the result was in front of you
476
00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:57,920
Sometimes it happens
-But, there was more story in it
477
00:31:57,920 --> 00:32:06,600
When we were batting and chasing in Ahmedabad,
we had our partnership at the start
478
00:32:06,600 --> 00:32:12,960
And I think, Yuvi and Raina were batting
and they had a partnership
479
00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:17,440
And at that time I was lying on a massage table
in the dressing room
480
00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:26,600
Our masseuse Amit was giving me a massage
and Viru and I were talking
481
00:32:26,600 --> 00:32:28,520
After a while I went quite
482
00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:34,760
So Viru told Amit, ‘You are wasting your energy for no reason,
Sachin has already slept’
483
00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:42,480
I was just listening to everything and
praying to God, let everything go well
484
00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:48,520
I was listening and I thought, I’ll not talk right now,
I’ll wait until the match ends and I was just lying like that
485
00:32:48,520 --> 00:32:55,240
Only during final, the same thought was going on in my mind
that then also Viru and I were sitting and now again the both of us are sitting
486
00:32:55,240 --> 00:32:58,120
and everything is going right
I told him, ‘You are not moving from here’
487
00:32:58,120 --> 00:33:03,000
He said, “Let me go to the washroom at least”,
but I told him you are not going anywhere, whatever you want to do, do it here only
488
00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:05,160
Control!
-But I was not aware about this right?
489
00:33:05,160 --> 00:33:07,720
Only God know all these things
490
00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:11,720
So, this was going on in my mind
I said, ‘You are not getting up from here’
491
00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:17,240
Ok, all the cricket talk is done
and you guys know your standards,
492
00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:24,840
That today’s new generation is very romantic,
as you can see Virat Kohli expresses his romance towards his wife on twitter
493
00:33:24,840 --> 00:33:29,760
Rohit Sharma decides that on a birthday or anniversary,
he will score 100 or 200 runs
494
00:33:29,760 --> 00:33:33,160
Tell us, what was the last best present
you guys gave to your wives?
495
00:33:34,320 --> 00:33:37,840
You are asking a God to lie
-How did you go on back foot now!
496
00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:41,040
You first! You first!
497
00:33:41,040 --> 00:33:49,520
I think, I have never given many gifts to Aarti,
but I have given so many surprises by reaching home
498
00:33:49,520 --> 00:33:52,760
She didn’t expect that I’ll be there,
but I took night flights and reached her
499
00:33:52,760 --> 00:33:58,120
Like if a test match finishes today by 4:30 pm,
I take a 5 pm flight in the evening and reach home
500
00:33:58,120 --> 00:34:02,160
Invariably!
We have given such surprises
501
00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:05,440
What better gift than us!
502
00:34:06,240 --> 00:34:10,960
Tell me one thing, we don’t handle our money, our wives do
then what do we gift them?
503
00:34:11,360 --> 00:34:14,320
They should gift us something actually
Okay, you have reversed this!
504
00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:19,120
She handles all my money and I hope this is same with him
because she got to know about this from his house only
505
00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:22,440
that Anjali looks after everything,
then why can’t I?
506
00:34:22,440 --> 00:34:29,240
It’s a fact that she is the backbone of my family
507
00:34:29,240 --> 00:34:39,920
You know, before Anjali came into my life, it was my mother
But with her now, Anjali is also there
508
00:34:39,920 --> 00:34:42,360
She is the most organised person I have met in my life
509
00:34:42,640 --> 00:34:45,040
She is extremely organised, extremely!
510
00:34:45,040 --> 00:34:50,880
You know, she is not only organised about the big things
but also the small things as well
511
00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:55,360
Its her nature, it helps!
Someone or the other has to make up for things
512
00:34:56,480 --> 00:35:00,000
We are going to play a very interesting game,
it’s called ‘Brain Fade’
513
00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:01,400
Brain Fade?
514
00:35:02,240 --> 00:35:03,960
My brain is already faded
515
00:35:04,480 --> 00:35:06,880
I will ask the questions,
you guys have to immediately answer
516
00:35:07,080 --> 00:35:10,920
First one:
One bowler you think Sachin didn’t like to face?
517
00:35:10,920 --> 00:35:12,200
Abdul Razzaq
518
00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:14,080
One bowler you think Viru didn’t like to face?
519
00:35:14,080 --> 00:35:14,880
Bracken
520
00:35:14,880 --> 00:35:16,360
Most talkative team mate?
521
00:35:16,360 --> 00:35:18,040
-Viru!
522
00:35:18,360 --> 00:35:20,880
Who had the best choice of music in the dressing room?
523
00:35:21,680 --> 00:35:23,080
-I would like to believe me
524
00:35:23,080 --> 00:35:26,560
Pajji only! Because he is the one
who gave me the Kishore Kumar songs
525
00:35:27,040 --> 00:35:28,800
Who has more ducks in test cricket?
526
00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:31,720
I don’t know..
527
00:35:31,720 --> 00:35:34,240
I am really bad at this
-But one hand is in my direction only and one hand in yours
528
00:35:34,240 --> 00:35:36,480
I am really bad at this
-One hand is in my direction because I have more ducks
529
00:35:36,480 --> 00:35:39,080
and one at you,
because you are creating ‘What The Duck’
530
00:35:39,600 --> 00:35:41,960
Most memorable wicket that you have taken?
531
00:35:41,960 --> 00:35:42,960
Ricky Pointing
532
00:35:43,520 --> 00:35:47,280
Yours is Ricky Pointing
My memorable wicket is Steve Waugh
533
00:35:47,280 --> 00:35:49,040
Madhuri Dixit or Kajol?
534
00:35:49,040 --> 00:35:50,280
Madhuri Dixit
535
00:35:50,440 --> 00:35:52,560
I’ll always say Madhuri Dixit, favourite actress
536
00:35:52,560 --> 00:35:54,840
Shoaib Akhtar or Brett Lee, who was quicker?
537
00:35:54,840 --> 00:35:55,760
Shoaib Akhtar
538
00:35:55,760 --> 00:35:58,840
Shoaib
-Oh -No debate
539
00:35:58,840 --> 00:36:01,840
Ganguly or Sehwag?
Who will win a 100 metres sprint?
540
00:36:02,360 --> 00:36:04,360
Ganguly or Sehwag?
541
00:36:05,760 --> 00:36:07,640
Sehwag
-I think Ganguly will win
542
00:36:08,200 --> 00:36:11,920
I will lose fans on social media if you say this
543
00:36:11,920 --> 00:36:15,960
The better engineer Anil Kumble or Javagal Srinath?
-Kumble
-Kumble
544
00:36:15,960 --> 00:36:18,240
Better dresser- Rahul Dravid or VVS Laxman?
545
00:36:18,920 --> 00:36:19,880
-VVS -Laxman
546
00:36:19,880 --> 00:36:21,600
Right pad first or left pad?
547
00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:22,360
Left pad
548
00:36:22,920 --> 00:36:25,280
Right pad
-Why do you have to think so much?
549
00:36:25,280 --> 00:36:28,440
He’s asking about you only, no one else
550
00:36:29,280 --> 00:36:32,560
I was thinking,
I have to give time to think which one to wear first
551
00:36:32,880 --> 00:36:34,080
Well done! Good performance
552
00:36:34,240 --> 00:36:36,880
We have checked your mental strength,
now we have to check physical strength also
553
00:36:36,880 --> 00:36:39,480
That’s why we have a game,
which is known as ‘Hammer Game’
554
00:36:39,480 --> 00:36:40,360
Give it to Viru only..
555
00:36:43,760 --> 00:36:45,200
King of Haryana!
556
00:36:45,200 --> 00:36:46,160
Shall we?
557
00:36:46,480 --> 00:36:47,320
Lets go!
558
00:36:54,920 --> 00:37:00,800
So, this is the hammer machine and
we are going to start with the great Virendra Sehwag
559
00:37:00,800 --> 00:37:04,320
Your time starts now!
-Here also I have to take a strike?
560
00:37:04,320 --> 00:37:07,600
Yeah you take the strike here
-Every time you took it, right?
561
00:37:08,160 --> 00:37:09,120
Well done! Come on
562
00:37:09,120 --> 00:37:13,200
You know, he doesn’t want lose here too!
He will see how much Lala scores?
563
00:37:17,040 --> 00:37:21,080
Lovely! That’s Wonderful!
Come on! Viru, Viru, Viru! Come on!
564
00:37:21,080 --> 00:37:21,760
950!
565
00:37:22,080 --> 00:37:22,720
No..
566
00:37:23,040 --> 00:37:24,480
It’s not even 900
567
00:37:25,440 --> 00:37:27,280
917, well done!
568
00:37:27,280 --> 00:37:29,520
Top 3 scores!
Well done!
569
00:37:30,080 --> 00:37:34,440
Round of applause for Virendra Sehwag!
Wonderful performance!
570
00:37:34,440 --> 00:37:37,320
All happening here and now Sachin Tendulkar!
571
00:37:37,320 --> 00:37:38,520
How close can you get?
572
00:37:38,520 --> 00:37:39,080
Come on!
573
00:37:45,440 --> 00:37:46,480
He’s practising also see!
574
00:37:50,280 --> 00:37:52,560
He has started from 917 itself
575
00:37:52,560 --> 00:37:53,960
No the score will come on the side
576
00:37:53,960 --> 00:37:55,920
Come on, come on, come on
577
00:37:55,920 --> 00:37:57,800
Oh! It’s 897!
578
00:37:58,240 --> 00:38:00,200
Well done! It’s all happening here!
579
00:38:00,680 --> 00:38:02,920
Well this is the reason I have done this show
‘What The Duck’
580
00:38:02,920 --> 00:38:05,000
It’s all happening here! I feel like Tony Greig!
581
00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:08,640
And the first man to come on stage is
Virendra Sehwag
582
00:38:08,640 --> 00:38:10,880
What a player! Wonderful cricketer!
583
00:38:12,640 --> 00:38:14,240
How do you feel coming on What the Duck?
584
00:38:14,240 --> 00:38:20,320
Very good! You know I enjoyed all the two shows with What the duck,
with you and now with the God!
