00:00This is nothing new in IPL.

00:02Like you said, 3 years ago, you could only retain 3 players.

00:07This time, you can retain 5 players.

00:09It's better than before.

00:11And, as I said, every year is a new year.

00:15All the players are used to it.

00:17Everyone knows that they have made some changes.

00:19International cricket is a part and parcel of it.

00:21Especially, Jai's cricket.

00:22They all are used to it.

00:24Every 3 years.

00:26If not all, at least 3% of them.

00:28We are looking ahead.

00:30It's a great combination.

00:32There are youngsters and experienced players.

00:35People like Josh Butler, Ravi Swarabada.

00:37There are a lot of experienced additions.

00:39The way we started, let's try to take it forward.

00:42See, it has been talked about.

00:44It's not that it's not been talked about.

00:46You can see, obviously, the runs there.

00:48Different wicket-keeping camps and all of that.

00:50Even with the Indian teams before,

00:52the wicket-keeping coach has been on.

00:54But, actually, India is a specialist job.

00:57So, we do have specialist bowlers, fast bowlers, spinners,

01:00or a bad-ass coach.

01:02You need good guidance from the wicket-keeper as well.

01:05Sometimes, in trainings, it may get neglected.

01:09But, if you have a wicket-keeping coach,

01:11it actually adds value to the team.

01:13So, it's actually not a bad idea

01:15to have a wicket-keeping coach with the team as well.

01:18Firstly, Josh Butler has brought in a wicket-keeper.

01:23And, Indian fast bowlers,

01:25and Indian wicket-keepers,

01:26and Indian fast bowlers,

01:27are the only ones who can do this.

01:28So, I think we have great spinners.

01:30We have the best wicket-keeping spinner in our team.

01:34That speaks for itself.

01:36And, with that, we have a good combination of Indian spinners.

01:40We have Sai.

01:41We have Washington,

01:43who has been part of the Indian wicket-keeping team

01:45for a very long time.

01:46So, I think we have got some very experienced spinners.

01:49I think, if you look at the past three years,

01:52we are the team with the most wins,

01:54and the highest percentage of wins.

01:55So, if we continue to do that,

01:57it's going to be another great season for us.

01:59And, just because it's a new season,

02:01I don't think we have to do anything different.

02:03I think, over the past three years,

02:05we have played the most consistent cricket.

02:07And, the wins and the matches,

02:10that speaks for itself.

02:12And, I don't think we need to change anything.

02:14We will continue to keep playing the cricket

02:15that we have been playing over the past three years.

02:17Firstly, I don't think, as a team,

02:20we are trying to chase 300 as a total.

02:22That's not what our aim is.

02:25We want to play the kind of cricket

02:28we will assess what the condition is

02:30and what the situation is.

02:31And, we want to play that kind of cricket.

02:34If the wicket or the situation

02:36allows us to make 240, 250, 260 runs,

02:40yeah, we are not saying no to that.

02:41But, there might be a situation

02:43where 150, 160 would be an ideal total on a wicket.

02:47And, hence, I feel as a team,

02:49if you are only looking to play one game,

02:51then you are not adapting the things

02:54how you should.

02:55And, a great team, the hallmark of a great team

02:57is that it adapts the best to the suitable conditions

03:01and the challenges that are thrown at them.
