00:00 Can you give us your reaction to that game?

00:05 It was a good game and a bit learning and a confident game carrying to the Super 6.

00:10 So I'm very happy that we won and in good margin.

00:13 You've got better scoring runs yourself. You've been taking a lot of wickets along with other bowlers.

00:18 You mentioned confidence there. Is there a worry that you can get complacent going into the Super 6s?

00:24 No, there is no complacent going to the Super 6s. We are just focusing on every game and we are here to win the World Cup.

00:32 You have two days before the next game here. How focused are you on the next game?

00:38 On the field we are focused and out of the field we are also having some game plans.

00:44 So we will be preparing well for the next game.

00:47 Just looking at today's game, what was it like bowling out there today against a very gritty batting line-up?

00:52 The basics were simple. Following the basics and the talk or a plan which I had with my sir, the bowling coach.

01:01 Of course you head into the Super 6s now. Three wins from three.

01:05 You play those two games in the Super 6s here in Bloemfontein. Do you think that's a big advantage for India?

01:12 Yes, because we are used to these conditions. We are used to this ground and we know how the pitch behaves.

01:19 So I think it will be better for us.

01:22 It was the first time today that USA and India have met in an ICC U19 men's cricket World Cup.

01:28 What was it like to play against them today? Can you just give us a word on your opponents?

01:32 Yes, they were good. They are an upcoming country. So I will be saying best wishes to them.

01:40 Great. Very quickly, can you give us a word on Arshin Zinnings at the top of the order for India?

01:45 Yes. In the opening, the pitch was not behaving like that. But he followed and bagged his game.

01:52 I liked the shots he played with a clear mindset and clean hitting.

01:56 Perfect. And very finally, obviously you have won three very convincing games.

02:02 Are there any areas which you think you can still improve upon?

02:05 Yes, we can improve on a lot more things. We improve day by day.

02:11 As a champion team, we improve day by day. So I think we have to improve day by day.

02:16 So a lot of confidence going into your next games.

02:18 Yes.

02:19 Great. Thank you, Naman.
