00:03 Main reason being when Jadeja and Shivam Dubey came,

00:08 obviously, bowling a left-arm spinner is not a great matchup.

00:11 The chance of a few boundaries going will--

00:14 becomes higher.

00:15 So that was the thinking for Faf to just hold on to--

00:19 hold on, rather, to bring a fast bowler on who can obviously

00:23 bowl a few short balls and try and put them under pressure.

00:26 I thought he bowled brilliantly.

00:28 In all spells, he bowled in three spells.

00:30 In all three spells, he showed his skill.

00:32 He's bowling a lot quicker than what he normally does.

00:34 So that's great for him personally.

00:36 And he hit the right lengths.

00:37 His slow ball came out well.

00:39 So I thought he had a really good game.

00:41 I couldn't be happier for him.

00:43 Number one, he's been part of this team for two years.

00:46 And people just can see how much talent he has.

00:48 The ball flies off his bat.

00:50 He's got great bat speed.

00:51 He's a strong boy.

00:52 He really works hard in the nets.

00:54 And the last two years haven't exactly panned out as well.

00:57 Last year, towards the end, he showed glimpses

00:58 of how good he is.

00:59 But today, we saw the skill that he's got.

01:01 I just wish that he keeps continuing this form,

01:03 because he's a very key player for us, a left-hander

01:06 through the middle.

01:06 And he hits a long ball.

01:07 He's got a lot of power.

01:08 So it's great to see him do so well.

01:12 This is a very good pitch.

01:13 It's not the usual slow step-up, turn-up pitch

01:16 that we probably are visualizing in our mind.

01:19 The ball skid on a lot more.

01:21 It was good for batting.

01:22 And he bowled really well, as I said.

01:24 What makes it really tough is the fact

01:26 that he can bowl at 138, 139.

01:28 And then he has a slow one, which is very deceptive.

01:30 And he bowled it at 120, 125, which makes it really hard

01:33 to line him up.

01:34 So that's what is so special about him.

01:35 And he's a world-class bowler, again.

01:37 So it's important that he does well for CSK.

01:40 On the other hand, the batters try and do the best against him.

01:42 It's never easy.

01:44 But I guess all the batters will try hard.

01:46 It's a great question.

01:48 I genuinely wish it's not only because I

01:49 think the playoffs last couple of games could be here.

01:52 So if I come back for that, I guess that could be the last.

01:54 Otherwise, I think it could be.

01:57 (upbeat music)

02:00 (dramatic music)
