00:00And as far as the 2011 shot is concerned, it was a big relief.

00:03That yes, the world is over. We have won.

00:05Then I saw Shrishant.

00:08Shot in the final.

00:10And before the ball came, he was like this three times.

00:30What was going on in your mind when Mishba scooped that shot over to Shrishant?

00:55And also before hitting the world cup winning six over long off.

01:04Long on.

01:05Long on.

01:08No, as far as the 2007 world cup catch is concerned,

01:13when I saw it on TV after coming back, we were watching the highlights.

01:16My heart rate also went up.

01:19The way he was focusing on the ball, you must have seen it on television.

01:24So when I saw it on TV, I thought he was gone.

01:28Gone means one bounce four.

01:31But actually when the match was going on, I was there.

01:43So when Mishba played that shot, the ball went up.

01:48So I saw that it was going up slowly.

01:50There is not much pace in it.

01:52Then I saw Shrishant.

01:54Shot in the final.

01:56And before the ball came, he was like this three times.

02:04I said, if this is a drop, I don't know what will happen.

02:10But I feel the easy catches in cricket are the most difficult catches.

02:16Because when you look at the ball, everything comes in front of you.

02:21If it breaks, it will be like this.

02:23And the ball is coming down slowly.

02:25That's why we say being in the present is important.

02:28But the mind is so strong that it takes you back and forth.

02:32So I feel that was one of the toughest catches.

02:35And as far as the 2011 shot is concerned, it was a big relief.

02:39That yes, the world cup is over, we have won.

02:42Because wherever you go, everyone says the same thing.

02:44Sir, when do you want to win the world cup?

02:45Why? It's happening in India.

02:47I said, no host country has won so far.

02:50But after a while, it was important for us to have fun.

02:53Because everyone used to say the same thing.

02:55You leave the airport, go to the hotel.

02:58After that, you will leave the hotel and go to another city.

03:00You will go to a new hotel, you will interact with new people.

03:03Every time it was the same question.

03:05We are winning the world cup, right?

03:06And everyone's answer was the same.

03:07It's happening in India.

03:09So it was a relief that yes, it's over.
