00:00Hi, Prasid. First of all, congratulations on the great start for you and your team.

00:05My first question to you would be about the use of saliva on the ball.

00:09The return of that system has kind of helped you in the latter end of the innings particularly.

00:14So, could you delve in on it and give your opinion like how that has actually helped your game or in IPL in general?

00:24Yeah, I think it has played a bit of a part because if you look at what the ball does with the saliva on it,

00:29even if it means that one out of the 120 balls stares in a little more, that means you get a wicket.

00:35That's an extra dot ball and if that happens at a crucial stage when the right batsman gets out,

00:41that means you slow down the run rate of the team, you get the momentum back.

00:45So, it has a chain reaction kind of a thing and it's definitely helped us bowlers the game today.
