00:00
There were Pakistani fans here, they had their own thing going on upstairs.
00:03
I was like, bro, we're in the middle of the beach, don't cross us.
00:30
2021 was a reality, Virat.
00:40
Everyone who knows cricket, knows the game,
00:42
knew that one day it would come.
00:44
One day, would come, the result would not go your way.
00:48
You were the captain.
00:50
It happened there.
00:51
The 2021 match, Dubai, did it ever come across your mind?
00:55
Very honestly, not at all.
00:56
Look, records that are made over the years,
01:00
they become a trend too, to be very honest.
01:03
But you're playing a sport and human error is so big,
01:08
in any sport.
01:10
There is no guarantee on a given day that you will win.
01:14
So, making so many attachments and expectations
01:18
from a game, that the record shouldn't go bad,
01:21
that I feel is unrealistic.
01:23
We played well, we handled the pressure better for so many years,
01:26
so we won.
01:27
That day, Pakistan outplayed us,
01:30
they handled pressure way more than us.
01:32
And they deserved to win, thoroughly.
01:34
There is no question, the match wasn't even close.
01:37
So, I had processed it and accepted it immediately,
01:40
that we were outplayed.
01:42
If you lose such a quality side on the day,
01:46
then there is no shame in accepting it.
01:50
Before this match, or even in the Asia Cup,
01:52
I didn't think that I have to avenge that loss.
01:57
You can never play with such feelings.
02:00
I think it was a good reality check for everyone.
02:03
Apart from the players, because the players know
02:06
how much pressure there is,
02:07
and you won't be able to handle it every time.
02:09
But for the spectators, it's a reality check,
02:12
that the other team is also good,
02:15
they have come to play, they have got an amazing team.
02:17
This is where your practice pitches are.
02:19
In India's practice, there were Pakistan's fans.
02:21
In Pakistan's practice, there were India's fans.
02:23
The match was going on in the practice as well.
02:25
How different was this experience?
02:27
I mean, I still remember, honestly,
02:30
there were fans in the nets, upstairs as well.
02:33
Upstairs as well.
02:34
So, after every shot, they started playing drums.
02:37
So, I had to tell them, guys, this is serious stuff.
02:40
So, I explained everything to them.
02:42
And I said, guys, please watch the practice,
02:44
enjoy it, but don't interfere in it.
02:47
Because it's a very important time for us.
02:50
Absolutely.
02:51
Your preparation should be good.
02:53
Everything goes well.
02:54
So, you go into the room with peace of mind,
02:56
that I am ready.
02:57
And as you said, there were Pakistan's fans here.
03:00
Their own team was playing upstairs.
03:01
I said, guys, don't interfere in it.
03:03
Let us practice.
