[00:00:00] Hello and welcome back to The Royals Podcast. As always, we have some wonderful guests but
[00:00:19] before that just an intro on the host today it's me Ravichandran Ashwin and it is The Royals
[00:00:24] Podcast and Spotify. Hope you've been enjoying this series but today we have a wonderful
[00:00:28] guest list. Usually in Bollywood movies they introduce the captain and the hero laughs
[00:00:32] but today we've got the captain on the podcast. Welcome on the show Sanju.
[00:00:37] Okay that was good. That was easy. Okay and next we have I don't know how to introduce this man but it's
[00:00:42] easier if you guys can get this the current orange cap holder and I don't think the cap is
[00:00:46] leaving his head anytime soon welcome on the show Jaws. No pressure thank you. That's how soft
[00:00:51] spoken he is all the time and I hope he's a little more louder today and on my left the
[00:00:55] man who's pretty funny and can I call you funny or the guitar man of the team? You
[00:01:00] can call me whatever you want Ash. Okay before before we introduce him officially can you
[00:01:04] take a guess if you guess you're pretty much a Royals fan but the man on my left is Trent
[00:01:09] Bolt obviously you can't see the podcast but as always Rajasthan Royals will be hosting
[00:01:13] it out on Instagram and you can see how the podcast looks on a visual. Welcome on the
[00:01:17] show gentlemen hope you are having a good time with the Royals in the bubble Sanju
[00:01:23] do you want to go? Yes I'm really enjoying the bubble a lot of good people around
[00:01:27] a lot of friends around having good fun. What about you Jaws how's the bubble
[00:01:31] going? Yeah the bubble's been good it's a good group and my family has just come out
[00:01:37] to join as well so that's been a bit of a nice surprise for me to join the bubble
[00:01:41] for a few days. Even though you're English I found it amazing that you joined
[00:01:46] your daughter the other day in a very Bollywood fashion have you managed
[00:01:50] to catch up a lot of Bollywood films during the bubble time how did it work?
[00:01:53] No I haven't but no I think they had to do their few days quarantine and then
[00:01:59] it's obviously you'll know as a dad as well what a special moment it is when you see your kids again
[00:02:04] and yeah those first few moments a nice big hug. It was wonderful I had a
[00:02:09] smile on my face instantly Trent did you have a look at it? Yes I did yeah it
[00:02:14] obviously made me miss my kids which I'm expecting they're gonna surprise me
[00:02:17] at some point as well. We look forward to that are you gonna crawl in the floor as well?
[00:02:21] Yeah I probably will. Okay now it's obviously oh I didn't introduce the show
[00:02:26] it's match day by the way so we're gonna relive the match day today with all
[00:02:30] these three gentlemen who are having a wonderful time with the Rajasthan Royals
[00:02:34] going through into the playoffs we are almost there. Sanju how does a match day
[00:02:38] look for you? You're the captain of the side you're pretty much good okay do
[00:02:43] you prepare for the toss? Yes I started preparing for the toss I think a lot
[00:02:48] of practice going around. How exactly do we do it? Do you remember the five
[00:02:52] rupee coin trick I told you? Yeah but I think we are choosing some other coin
[00:02:58] in the match. I think Jaiswal gave me some ideas of I think flipping it in another
[00:03:03] direction or calling heads when it's on tails or the other side so yes I think
[00:03:09] I got it right last game I think hopefully. Yeah you got it right we still
[00:03:12] batted. Now Jaws how does your match day preparation look like the orange
[00:03:17] cap is sitting pretty tight and firmly on your head how does it look like
[00:03:21] I think a few batsmen can get some takeaways from that. Yeah I'm pretty
[00:03:24] relaxed to be honest I'm pretty much still on England time so I wake up
[00:03:28] very late have breakfast around sort of half one I like to go to the gym on
[00:03:35] match day as well I like to try and get moving and obviously the games start
[00:03:38] late so that's a long time to just sit around so bit of gym and then look
[00:03:43] forward to the game and I think we do some good preparation on the days
[00:03:47] before and training and all the analysis and that kind of stuff so much
[00:03:52] day pretty relaxed and just excited to go and play. You said you gym on the
[00:03:56] game day right we've been hearing that word a little bit more the trainer is
[00:03:59] a game every player on to do what you do obviously I think that looks like a
[00:04:02] success man threat to him from the training perspective what exactly do
[00:04:05] you do how extensive is your gym session before the game. Not too
[00:04:10] strenuous but just to sort of get the body moving and I'm sure if you
[00:04:14] got Rajamani on your podcast he could talk for half an hour on the science
[00:04:18] behind priming on a game day but yes I like to have a good stretch and get
[00:04:23] moving and then I just do some sort of power exercises that he tells me
[00:04:28] there's a benefit for in six hours time when you when you will actually be
[00:04:31] playing cricket. Right Pulti how does your match day look like does it
[00:04:35] look does it start with the guitar session or something. I love the
[00:04:38] guitar don't you. I do but first of all it doesn't start with
[00:04:41] breakfast at 1 30 in the afternoon. I get up a lot earlier than
[00:04:45] Joss generally have breakfast by myself and then yeah nothing too
[00:04:50] complicated it could be a long day I suppose sitting around in the room
[00:04:53] waiting for the bus to leave at five o'clock but I've got my guitar I
[00:04:57] don't have it here today so I won't be playing any songs and then yeah just
[00:05:02] I guess keep it nice and casual and look to bring the energy that
[00:05:06] that afternoon and again. Right actually there is this question
[00:05:10] obviously Royals you know they're very much on this analytical side of
[00:05:13] things when you look at the fans outside even the common man will say
[00:05:17] Royals are very much into the analytics part of it. You being a
[00:05:20] bowler and contributing a lot to the analytics if I may say so how does
[00:05:24] your how does your preparation for a game exactly pan out. Are you a
[00:05:28] big man on meetings. Do you crunch the numbers. Do you watch the
[00:05:31] batters. What do you do. I like to keep it incredibly simple from
[00:05:35] a personal point of view. My game plan is very simple without giving away
[00:05:38] too many tricks but I like to pitch the ball up and like to swing the
[00:05:42] ball and my job is to get wickets early in the power play there and
[00:05:48] obviously contribute with the bet and my new form found role of number
[00:05:51] eight. So it's very simple I don't like to have a complicated message to
[00:05:57] Jimmy Nisham by the way you went out to bat at D-Way part and I
[00:06:00] can't remember who your partner was but I said ball T over cover for
[00:06:04] four and Jimmy said be glad if he hits the ball and it's kind of
[00:06:10] every ball that you struck the other night I was just telling
[00:06:12] myself Jimmy just got run out and he should have been at the
[00:06:15] other end watching Bowl D strike these balls. How about you just
[00:06:18] just jumping on from Bowl T how about you are you a big man of
[00:06:21] watching footage analytics. How much do you read into it into
[00:06:24] your own game and stuff. I try and take it for what it is
[00:06:27] and if there's anything that I have been playing against
[00:06:30] someone I've not seen before I like to just have a little
[00:06:34] watch of the videos and see those things but I think now
[00:06:36] having now been quite experienced and played a few years of IPL
[00:06:39] and sort of know the conditions you know the opposition quite
[00:06:42] well and now I think my own game you have to sort of turn up
[00:06:46] and play how you see it on the day. I don't think you can go
[00:06:48] in with too many preconceived ideas and try and play the
[00:06:51] situation try and assess conditions and go from there
[00:06:55] but at the same time make sure there's no sort of real
[00:06:58] surprises and of course in the IPL there's always young
[00:07:01] players especially coming in who not seen before maybe that's
[00:07:05] a conversation with some of the other guys in our team who've
[00:07:07] played with or against them just to sort of get yourself
[00:07:11] accustomed to what they might bring and then I try and sort
[00:07:14] of play the game in front of me. In case you're listening
[00:07:17] to the Royals podcast and if you hear an overlapping noise
[00:07:19] it's the CEO of the team Jay Clashmachram and he's as we
[00:07:23] are speaking trying to strike a deal somewhere very big and
[00:07:26] guys you can be rest assured there's some money coming
[00:07:28] from the bullies family. Get them over a few children.
[00:07:32] A few children that'll be nice. Yeah. Oh they're under two so
[00:07:35] they fly free if that does help. By the way Jake please note
[00:07:40] that and get it bullies family in as soon as possible and
[00:07:43] yeah just dwelling upon that a little bit more you spoke
[00:07:46] about the IPL wanting to prepare watching new guys
[00:07:49] coming over how difficult the tournament IPL is in terms
[00:07:54] of roller coaster you have your great days we love
[00:07:57] we'd loved watching your centuries then you have days
[00:07:59] where you don't really get the get the thing going.
[00:08:02] How do you really assess these situations? Do you assess
[00:08:04] much or you just leave it out there and just go hit the
[00:08:06] ball next game. C ball hit ball kind of a player.
[00:08:09] A little bit but now I do think about the game a touch
[00:08:12] more than that. Now obviously when you have great days
[00:08:15] you're really delighted without trying not to get too high
[00:08:19] but at the same time when you have the bad days try
[00:08:21] not to get too low. I think I'm now I think when I
[00:08:23] sort of look back I try and look back sort of logically
[00:08:26] and sort of without much emotion sort of I got out
[00:08:31] the other day playing it was one of my favorite shots.
[00:08:33] You know I'm always disappointed to get out it looks
[00:08:35] bad in that situation but I've had lots of success
[00:08:37] with it at the same time so try not to read in too
[00:08:40] much to it and I think you know T20 is a tough
[00:08:44] game you know a lot of the time you the game
[00:08:47] is always telling you to try and take it on
[00:08:49] and be brave so there's not much time for trying
[00:08:51] to play it safe and get yourself in that way
[00:08:53] so I think you're almost better off going the
[00:08:55] other way when you have a run a lot of scores.
[00:08:58] Just go out there and attack it.
[00:08:59] Okay Josh from taking it from the he spoke about
[00:09:02] logic he spoke about keeping it really simple
[00:09:05] not quite the job for a captain isn't it?
[00:09:07] There's a lot more emotions running around the
[00:09:09] match day you can't just focus on your batting
[00:09:11] you need to focus on five people who might
[00:09:13] deliver any ball in that particular day
[00:09:15] you've got two bowlers sitting on the podcast
[00:09:17] how does it feel like to be a captain part
[00:09:20] of all those meetings do you love these meetings
[00:09:22] how do you communicate with your bowlers
[00:09:24] and so on and so forth?
[00:09:25] I think to be very honest I think it's
[00:09:27] definitely a new team actually so when
[00:09:29] you have a new team and you have new
[00:09:30] people new players with you it's very
[00:09:32] important to have spend a lot of time
[00:09:34] around them understanding them in the
[00:09:36] meetings understanding them on the
[00:09:38] field in the net of the field it's
[00:09:40] very important and once you do that I
[00:09:42] think once you do that I think I don't
[00:09:43] like to spend a lot of times in the
[00:09:45] meetings or I think having a lot of
[00:09:47] logic thinking around the games
[00:09:49] actually so I like to just trust them
[00:09:51] and just allow my bowlers to do
[00:09:53] whatever they want to do actually I think
[00:09:54] once you're the captain only see only
[00:09:57] while you are keeping or fielding or in
[00:09:59] the ground actually so I think the plan
[00:10:01] and the execution has to come from the
[00:10:03] bowlers and when you have a very
[00:10:05] experienced lineup like what we have I
[00:10:06] think the job is just to give the
[00:10:09] bowler the ball at the right time
[00:10:10] actually so I think hopefully it's
[00:10:12] working well and sometimes it doesn't
[00:10:14] section so it's okay
[00:10:15] What do you do when it doesn't?
[00:10:17] I just smile and move on
[00:10:21] I'm quite intrigued by something
[00:10:22] something that you do on the field
[00:10:24] you very rarely run up
[00:10:26] there was a nine second video bite that
[00:10:28] I saw where Harsha Boghle was talking to
[00:10:31] you about how similar you look like
[00:10:32] when you talk close to MS Dhoni
[00:10:36] do you know what he was referring to
[00:10:37] because a lot of people are looking
[00:10:38] for some clarity on that
[00:10:39] No, I felt good about it and just
[00:10:42] left it actually so I think that someone
[00:10:44] is comparing the way I speak to I
[00:10:47] think that's okay I didn't go much
[00:10:49] deep into it I think
[00:10:50] but fans are looking forward to the
[00:10:52] answer I think but there was not much
[00:10:53] that you're giving away
[00:10:54] anyway the exact question that I wanted
[00:10:57] to ask was you run up to a bowler when
[00:10:59] you generally find there is a necessity
[00:11:01] to I can see what you might be speaking
[00:11:03] to Chehel I can see what you might
[00:11:05] speak to Bolte I know what you exactly
[00:11:07] speak to me but I want to know what
[00:11:08] exactly you speak to Obed McCoy
[00:11:11] I'm sometimes intrigued by what the
[00:11:12] conversation would look like
[00:11:14] Yes, I think we do have very funny
[00:11:16] chat a very funny one last time I
[00:11:18] think when I walked into him or I was
[00:11:20] going to tell him like what is his
[00:11:22] plan or what we should do at that point
[00:11:24] of time so he gave me a very
[00:11:27] I can't say that on my I think after
[00:11:30] the show and secondly to you know I
[00:11:32] think it was very funny to know that
[00:11:33] he's totally chilled out even those
[00:11:35] on pressure situations actually so I
[00:11:37] think it's very interesting to have
[00:11:40] a chat with some characters like
[00:11:42] him actually so it's really amazing
[00:11:44] he indeed is a character but talking
[00:11:46] about characters we've got characters
[00:11:48] from all over the world it's about a
[00:11:50] different culture different
[00:11:51] different dressing room atmospheres
[00:11:53] let me begin with Joss you've been
[00:11:55] part of the IPL for a long time so
[00:11:56] was Bolte been how different are
[00:11:59] dressing room atmospheres when you
[00:12:01] compare it to the national side to
[00:12:02] the IPL side you also have played
[00:12:04] the big bash so how different are
[00:12:06] they
[00:12:07] Yeah, different I think anytime
[00:12:09] you're playing cricket in India there
[00:12:10] is a certain expectation and pressure
[00:12:12] from the outside whether you imagine
[00:12:14] playing for India or whether you're
[00:12:15] playing in an IPL franchise I think
[00:12:17] the eyes on the game are that much
[00:12:20] more when you're playing cricket in
[00:12:21] India so I think that brings with it
[00:12:23] some pressure and brings with it
[00:12:24] some emotion that you're playing in a
[00:12:27] huge tournament
[00:12:28] the highs and lows are there for
[00:12:31] everyone to sort of live through and
[00:12:33] I think at certain times in your
[00:12:35] national team you know you spent a
[00:12:37] lot more time together you sort of
[00:12:39] get to know people over years and
[00:12:41] years as you know with the IPL
[00:12:43] even though I've been with the
[00:12:45] franchise for sort of five years you
[00:12:46] only coming back for eight weeks
[00:12:48] during a year so it's a little bit
[00:12:51] different I think the way you know
[00:12:52] people in that and I think it
[00:12:54] sometimes is a bit calmer in the
[00:12:56] English dressing room then we've got
[00:12:58] a few fiery guys but Jason Roy
[00:13:01] springs to mind but apart from him
[00:13:02] there's quite a relaxed group but
[00:13:05] I think the emotion is great
[00:13:07] that people live it and I think
[00:13:08] it's really important to be
[00:13:10] authentic and do that so but I've
[00:13:12] seen more the pressure from the
[00:13:13] outside
[00:13:15] how it affects people in the IPL
[00:13:17] I'd say
[00:13:18] whether that's good or bad I think
[00:13:19] is
[00:13:21] and especially probably more so in
[00:13:22] bubbles you know you don't have
[00:13:24] that release or
[00:13:25] they talk about form when you're
[00:13:27] going through good form or bad
[00:13:28] form
[00:13:29] it's just sometimes not that
[00:13:30] escape you get in a bubble so
[00:13:34] certainly some emotional guys and
[00:13:36] like I say after wins or losses
[00:13:38] it can be high or low
[00:13:40] when you talk about emotional guys
[00:13:41] we certainly enjoyed your centuries
[00:13:43] this season as a bowler
[00:13:44] I certainly know why I enjoyed
[00:13:46] because I know we're going to
[00:13:46] cop it so some might as well
[00:13:48] give some back but
[00:13:50] I found something amazing
[00:13:51] a guy from Ghana
[00:13:53] cheering on a guy from England
[00:13:54] probably to be precise
[00:13:55] Lancashire who turns up for Lancashire
[00:13:58] and he was celebrating your century
[00:13:59] did you even notice it or
[00:14:00] you for you it's not
[00:14:01] it didn't come through your vision
[00:14:02] how did you find that
[00:14:04] yeah I did actually I noticed
[00:14:05] that he
[00:14:06] really enjoyed batting with him
[00:14:07] I think I got a hundred somewhere
[00:14:09] as well he wasn't batting
[00:14:09] and I watched him in the dugout
[00:14:11] do a big fist bump and he
[00:14:12] actually punched the top of the
[00:14:13] dugout and I quite like to ask him
[00:14:15] about that so
[00:14:16] so Ham but Hettie's a lot of fun
[00:14:18] to play with I've really enjoyed
[00:14:19] getting to know him this tournament
[00:14:21] he's always got that massive smile
[00:14:23] on his face he sort of takes you
[00:14:25] back to why he started playing
[00:14:27] cricket doesn't he looks like he has
[00:14:28] a lot of fun on the field
[00:14:29] and he tries to impose that
[00:14:31] on the guys he's playing with as
[00:14:32] well so
[00:14:33] yes when your teammates are really
[00:14:36] happy for you that's a great
[00:14:37] place to be as a side
[00:14:38] he said then not an easy aspect
[00:14:40] that everybody can invite
[00:14:42] Baltic is moving on
[00:14:43] when you talk about Mets
[00:14:44] he has a great mate and Hettie
[00:14:45] who celebrates his centuries
[00:14:47] very very you know
[00:14:48] that's that's not an easy trade to
[00:14:50] have but you have a partner
[00:14:51] who you really gel well with
[00:14:52] right Prasad Krishna
[00:14:54] have you guys had any interactions
[00:14:56] before getting into the Rajasthan
[00:14:58] Royals
[00:14:58] how did this sort of bond happen
[00:15:00] was it made in heaven
[00:15:01] was it made in heaven
[00:15:03] no I think
[00:15:04] no I hadn't obviously
[00:15:05] bowl with PK before the
[00:15:06] tournament
[00:15:07] hadn't really met the guy too
[00:15:08] much either but
[00:15:09] I think just naturally
[00:15:11] create a bit of a bond
[00:15:13] with the role that you play
[00:15:15] yeah I've thoroughly
[00:15:17] enjoyed bowling with them
[00:15:18] learning from them
[00:15:19] I definitely think it's the
[00:15:21] the best part about the IPL
[00:15:22] in the sense that you get
[00:15:23] the opportunity to come into
[00:15:24] you know certain franchises
[00:15:26] meet different players
[00:15:28] overseas players that you're
[00:15:29] competing against on a
[00:15:30] world stage and then suddenly
[00:15:32] you know Hettie's
[00:15:32] cheering on Josson
[00:15:33] and the aspect of
[00:15:34] being on the same team
[00:15:35] so it is very unique
[00:15:37] you know being able to
[00:15:38] create some good friendships
[00:15:39] over the years and
[00:15:41] yeah I'm loving it so far
[00:15:42] so hopefully we can keep
[00:15:44] jelling for the next
[00:15:45] couple of weeks and
[00:15:46] obviously push forward
[00:15:47] right into this tournament
[00:15:48] and do something pretty special
[00:15:49] is there anything inside
[00:15:50] you that lies
[00:15:52] lies somewhere deep
[00:15:53] within your heart
[00:15:53] that when Sanju's
[00:15:55] scoring runs
[00:15:56] and you're looking at
[00:15:56] cheering on and quietly
[00:15:58] going
[00:15:59] this guy is batting really
[00:16:00] well I don't want him to
[00:16:01] bat like this
[00:16:01] when he's facing New Zealand
[00:16:02] or I don't want to be
[00:16:03] bowling too much
[00:16:04] in the net
[00:16:05] is there any wicked
[00:16:06] intention that's there
[00:16:07] lying deep inside your heart
[00:16:09] um
[00:16:10] quietly yes
[00:16:11] yeah no it is always
[00:16:14] a bit unique
[00:16:14] you almost put yourself
[00:16:15] in the opposition's shoes
[00:16:18] and go you know
[00:16:18] thank gosh I'm not
[00:16:19] going to joss when he's
[00:16:20] doing the things he's doing
[00:16:21] but hey there's
[00:16:23] some quality players
[00:16:24] all through the tournament
[00:16:25] and yeah I think
[00:16:26] everyone who I'll
[00:16:27] speak for everyone
[00:16:27] in the sense that
[00:16:28] you want to try
[00:16:29] and test yourself out
[00:16:30] against the best players
[00:16:30] in the world
[00:16:31] and that's definitely
[00:16:32] nice to be on the
[00:16:33] same coloured strip
[00:16:34] as a couple of guys
[00:16:35] here sitting on this table
[00:16:36] yeah just now
[00:16:37] I'm shifting attention
[00:16:38] back to Sanju
[00:16:40] it's quite a tough job
[00:16:41] it's not
[00:16:41] I don't think it's
[00:16:42] appreciated enough
[00:16:43] in terms of the challenges
[00:16:44] it posts on a captain
[00:16:46] you're almost thinking
[00:16:47] okay team first
[00:16:48] and then myself
[00:16:50] it's kind of very different
[00:16:51] you're picking us
[00:16:51] you're selecting 11
[00:16:52] sitting in meetings
[00:16:54] and also you have these
[00:16:55] situations where you
[00:16:56] have to
[00:16:57] tell people that they're
[00:16:58] not playing
[00:17:00] before a match day
[00:17:01] how exactly do you
[00:17:02] go about it
[00:17:02] do you take the help
[00:17:03] of the staff
[00:17:04] how do you communicate
[00:17:06] how is your equation
[00:17:06] it has been a very tough
[00:17:08] thing to do as you rightly said
[00:17:09] I think it's very
[00:17:11] important to back players
[00:17:12] when they are failing
[00:17:13] and at times
[00:17:14] I think you need to go out
[00:17:15] and say that you're not
[00:17:16] playing the next game actually
[00:17:17] so
[00:17:17] gets a bit confusing for me
[00:17:19] to actually
[00:17:20] decide on what do I
[00:17:22] want to go at which
[00:17:22] should I need to back my
[00:17:24] players or should I need
[00:17:25] to give them rest
[00:17:25] and
[00:17:26] back someone else actually
[00:17:27] so that's something
[00:17:28] which I've been
[00:17:29] learning a lot
[00:17:30] I think as a captain
[00:17:31] I think last year
[00:17:32] I was doing a bit differently
[00:17:33] but this time
[00:17:33] I think having some good
[00:17:34] people around
[00:17:35] I think in the leadership
[00:17:37] group may be
[00:17:38] Sangha or Jaws
[00:17:39] I think learning from them
[00:17:40] and how can we
[00:17:42] adapt to different conditions
[00:17:43] and different opponents
[00:17:44] and I think how the franchise
[00:17:46] cricket is played actually
[00:17:47] so I think there's a lot of
[00:17:48] learning for me as a captain
[00:17:49] so
[00:17:50] yes it's definitely
[00:17:51] being very hard
[00:17:52] I think I remember going
[00:17:53] and
[00:17:54] me and Sangha
[00:17:55] going and
[00:17:56] to telling
[00:17:57] Jaiswal after the third game
[00:17:58] that he's not playing actually
[00:17:59] so I think
[00:18:00] he just before that time
[00:18:02] I think last night
[00:18:03] when we played that third game
[00:18:04] he came and told me
[00:18:05] Sanjubai what can I do
[00:18:07] I told him that
[00:18:09] Jaiswal don't worry
[00:18:10] I'm going to back you
[00:18:10] Don't worry we'll sit you out
[00:18:12] for the next game
[00:18:12] No I told him
[00:18:14] definitely don't worry
[00:18:15] about being dropped
[00:18:16] and all
[00:18:16] I'll definitely back you
[00:18:17] I'm going to back you
[00:18:18] no matter what
[00:18:19] you go and play
[00:18:20] and the next night
[00:18:21] I'm sitting with him
[00:18:21] and saying
[00:18:22] sorry Jaiswal
[00:18:23] I'm not playing you
[00:18:24] so that was a very tough
[00:18:26] moment for me
[00:18:26] I think I took around
[00:18:27] one day to recover
[00:18:28] from that actually
[00:18:29] so I could see
[00:18:31] tears coming out
[00:18:32] from his eyes actually
[00:18:33] so I think that was really
[00:18:34] really touching for me
[00:18:35] so I think yeah
[00:18:36] it was a very hard time
[00:18:37] and I think it's really
[00:18:38] challenging too at times
[00:18:39] I think it's very hard
[00:18:41] for me to decide actually
[00:18:43] as a batsman
[00:18:43] as you rightly said
[00:18:44] I think what is the right
[00:18:45] combination
[00:18:46] or what is the right batting
[00:18:47] order for a batsman
[00:18:48] to go
[00:18:48] or what my team demands
[00:18:50] actually
[00:18:50] so I think it's very
[00:18:51] challenging
[00:18:52] and I'm learning a lot
[00:18:53] just to put you on the spot
[00:18:54] a little bit more
[00:18:55] and we're speaking about
[00:18:56] building on to match day
[00:18:57] but exactly in the match
[00:18:59] you've got two bowlers
[00:18:59] on this podcast
[00:19:00] Bowl D and I
[00:19:01] I'm sure both of us
[00:19:02] have been very good
[00:19:03] when it comes to DRS
[00:19:04] with you
[00:19:05] we've not forced anything upon you
[00:19:06] we saw Bowl D miss the
[00:19:07] Mitchell March
[00:19:08] this missile
[00:19:08] yeah we have been
[00:19:09] took that
[00:19:10] he's that good
[00:19:11] but can you take us through
[00:19:12] how these DRS conversations
[00:19:13] evolve on the ground
[00:19:14] do you have
[00:19:15] have you had any
[00:19:16] interesting interactions
[00:19:17] interesting ones
[00:19:18] I think one
[00:19:21] yeah I think we have
[00:19:22] done almost fine
[00:19:23] I think one
[00:19:23] missing one or two
[00:19:24] and 13 games is fine
[00:19:26] I feel but
[00:19:27] I think DRS
[00:19:27] it depends upon different
[00:19:28] actually I think
[00:19:29] the court behind
[00:19:30] ones can be more
[00:19:32] judged by me
[00:19:33] and then I think LBW
[00:19:34] I think when I'm moving
[00:19:35] behind the wicket is far
[00:19:36] it's very hard for me
[00:19:37] to judge the line of the ball
[00:19:39] so I do take a very good call
[00:19:41] I think if the bowler
[00:19:41] is very confident
[00:19:42] I go for it
[00:19:43] no matter what actually
[00:19:44] so it depends upon
[00:19:45] the bowler
[00:19:46] and the keeper
[00:19:47] actually
[00:19:48] what are you thinking
[00:19:49] Bowl D
[00:19:49] as a bowler
[00:19:50] what are you thinking
[00:19:51] how did you miss
[00:19:52] the Mitchell March one
[00:19:52] in fact
[00:19:53] I came from Midwicket
[00:19:54] and asked you
[00:19:54] what happened
[00:19:55] I didn't miss it
[00:19:56] I was appealing
[00:19:57] and then I stopped appealing
[00:19:58] and no one was
[00:19:59] appealing with me
[00:20:00] so I thought
[00:20:00] a bit of quiet
[00:20:01] but yeah
[00:20:02] that was an odd one
[00:20:03] you don't really know
[00:20:04] when it's so close to the bat
[00:20:05] in the ball
[00:20:05] but yeah
[00:20:07] I
[00:20:07] there's not many bowlers
[00:20:08] in the world
[00:20:09] that will refuse to go
[00:20:10] for a potential LBW
[00:20:12] so yeah
[00:20:13] I do know some more
[00:20:15] eager than others
[00:20:16] but they're not at this table
[00:20:18] I'm pretty eager
[00:20:21] Joss
[00:20:22] a very important part of
[00:20:24] going into a match day
[00:20:25] is the travel in the bus
[00:20:27] we stay like
[00:20:28] some 140 kilometers
[00:20:30] away from every single ground
[00:20:31] in Mumbai
[00:20:32] it's quite a long journey
[00:20:34] for us to go into every game
[00:20:35] I can see you
[00:20:36] like gasping for breath
[00:20:37] already
[00:20:37] how does your bus
[00:20:38] journey pan out
[00:20:39] do you get
[00:20:40] do you get stiff
[00:20:40] or you're just listening
[00:20:41] to music
[00:20:42] you're chatting away
[00:20:42] are you quiet
[00:20:44] you're quiet always
[00:20:45] yeah
[00:20:45] I'm usually pretty quiet
[00:20:46] but I do put my headphones on
[00:20:48] because I don't think
[00:20:49] they sell headphones
[00:20:50] in Sri Lanka
[00:20:51] because Mali and Sanger
[00:20:53] do not use headphones at all
[00:20:54] to listen to stuff
[00:20:56] so that's that
[00:20:57] pretty close to me
[00:20:58] so I need to put some
[00:21:00] headphones on
[00:21:00] and listen to some music
[00:21:02] I cuddle up next to Romi
[00:21:03] at the front of the bus
[00:21:04] and enjoy the long drive
[00:21:07] like you say
[00:21:08] it's a bit of a trek
[00:21:09] so
[00:21:10] but yeah
[00:21:11] if anyone out there
[00:21:12] could send through some
[00:21:13] noise canceling headphones
[00:21:15] and send them
[00:21:16] to Sanger and Mali
[00:21:17] you want them made from Sri Lanka
[00:21:18] or
[00:21:19] well anyone
[00:21:20] just even some
[00:21:21] some good ones
[00:21:21] yeah
[00:21:22] get them across
[00:21:23] right
[00:21:23] how does your bus
[00:21:24] journey pan out
[00:21:25] Bholi
[00:21:25] you've got Nisham
[00:21:26] you've got Tarel Mitchell
[00:21:27] you've got quite a
[00:21:28] quite a company on the bus
[00:21:29] yeah all far away from them
[00:21:31] I see them
[00:21:31] you know
[00:21:32] every hour every day
[00:21:33] so I don't sit next to them
[00:21:34] on the bus
[00:21:35] I used to have my own seat
[00:21:37] but I'm accommodating
[00:21:38] the security guard
[00:21:39] on the bus
[00:21:40] he sits next to me
[00:21:40] deepak
[00:21:41] if you're listening
[00:21:41] hey buddy
[00:21:42] he fell asleep on my shoulder
[00:21:45] a week or so ago
[00:21:46] and I didn't know what to do
[00:21:47] so
[00:21:49] yeah
[00:21:50] I've got a good seat
[00:21:52] but the headphones are
[00:21:53] definitely packed
[00:21:54] and fully charged
[00:21:55] on every journey
[00:21:57] and what sort of music
[00:21:57] do you guys like
[00:21:58] what's your type of music
[00:21:59] Bholi
[00:22:00] I listen to anything
[00:22:01] from
[00:22:03] very
[00:22:05] aggressive hip hop
[00:22:06] to
[00:22:08] yeah
[00:22:08] anything classical
[00:22:09] any rock
[00:22:09] any pop
[00:22:10] anything
[00:22:11] yeah
[00:22:11] I'm pretty easily pleased
[00:22:13] what we've got Josie
[00:22:14] actually
[00:22:15] if I could plug him
[00:22:16] tremendous voice
[00:22:17] if we
[00:22:18] were lucky enough
[00:22:19] to maybe hear a song
[00:22:20] or two from him
[00:22:21] maybe
[00:22:21] I heard him
[00:22:22] to the other
[00:22:23] the team room
[00:22:23] it was
[00:22:24] it was good fun
[00:22:24] Jos
[00:22:24] are you
[00:22:25] don't tell me
[00:22:26] you listen
[00:22:26] listen to romantic stuff
[00:22:27] going on the way
[00:22:28] no no romance
[00:22:29] I'm actually
[00:22:30] Bholi's Spotify
[00:22:31] he's got a few playlists
[00:22:32] so I started following him
[00:22:33] but
[00:22:34] luckily he doesn't charge
[00:22:35] Jack
[00:22:35] so I'm sure he'll be after
[00:22:36] the next few dollars
[00:22:38] so I've got a few of his songs
[00:22:40] some acoustic ones
[00:22:41] they're quite like an acoustic
[00:22:42] right
[00:22:43] it's sort of
[00:22:44] like our jam sessions
[00:22:45] the other night
[00:22:45] so
[00:22:46] are you the
[00:22:47] sometime ago
[00:22:48] when I was at Kings 11
[00:22:49] Marcus Toyness
[00:22:49] had this very
[00:22:50] very interesting way
[00:22:51] of building up into a game
[00:22:52] he put a
[00:22:52] here
[00:22:53] headphone on
[00:22:53] have you seen that
[00:22:55] I say
[00:22:55] he puts the headphones on
[00:22:56] he's got his music
[00:22:57] and he grooves
[00:22:58] into it in the gym
[00:22:58] and he's basically
[00:22:59] getting himself ready for the game
[00:23:01] are you guys
[00:23:02] any one of those
[00:23:02] who are like the Rambo
[00:23:03] Rambo version of
[00:23:05] cricket
[00:23:05] if I did that
[00:23:06] certainly wouldn't be doing it in the gym
[00:23:07] I think it'd be
[00:23:08] doing this
[00:23:09] in my own bathroom
[00:23:10] but
[00:23:11] no it usually takes
[00:23:12] a couple of beers
[00:23:13] to get me
[00:23:14] get me singing
[00:23:15] and then
[00:23:15] that did turn into
[00:23:16] a bit more relaxed
[00:23:17] and a bit more
[00:23:18] outspoken
[00:23:20] right
[00:23:20] now it's more
[00:23:21] it's time to
[00:23:21] move on to Sanju
[00:23:22] Sanju
[00:23:22] what sort of music
[00:23:24] what are you doing in the bus
[00:23:25] in the bus
[00:23:27] actually I'm traveling
[00:23:27] in a car
[00:23:28] right now
[00:23:29] with my best sword back
[00:23:30] yeah, captain's get a car
[00:23:31] yeah
[00:23:31] sure
[00:23:32] so I think in the
[00:23:34] I just like to look out
[00:23:35] I think I don't
[00:23:36] at times I do
[00:23:37] very rarely I listen to songs
[00:23:39] but normally I just like to
[00:23:40] look out
[00:23:41] be in my own thoughts
[00:23:42] look at the driver
[00:23:43] talk to the driver
[00:23:44] I think it's
[00:23:47] goes on
[00:23:48] like that I think and then
[00:23:50] talking about music
[00:23:51] I listen to almost everything
[00:23:53] I think almost every
[00:23:54] language also
[00:23:55] like Hindi, English
[00:23:56] Punjabi
[00:23:57] Malayalam, Tamil
[00:23:58] like
[00:23:59] I love listening a lot of songs
[00:24:00] so I think yeah
[00:24:02] interesting
[00:24:03] so it's power play time
[00:24:04] Joss you're well versed
[00:24:05] with power play
[00:24:06] you know how to go about it
[00:24:07] a few butler scoops
[00:24:08] and a few heaves away
[00:24:10] so what's been the funniest
[00:24:11] on field moment for you
[00:24:12] this season
[00:24:13] is there any funny
[00:24:13] on field moment that you had
[00:24:15] you can think about it
[00:24:16] we'll go to Boothie first
[00:24:16] yeah
[00:24:18] immediately thought of myself
[00:24:19] as I do
[00:24:20] funniest moment would have been
[00:24:22] when I bowled the ball
[00:24:24] second or through over
[00:24:25] and it rolled to proceed
[00:24:26] at mid on
[00:24:28] and he picked up
[00:24:29] and threw it straight
[00:24:29] to my right ankle
[00:24:31] fell over
[00:24:32] and I turned around
[00:24:33] and saw literally everyone laughing
[00:24:34] except for you
[00:24:35] you were laughing
[00:24:36] but I don't know how
[00:24:37] they happened or why they happened
[00:24:38] but I'm obviously glad
[00:24:39] didn't have been the head
[00:24:40] or somewhere more serious
[00:24:41] this you that Boothie
[00:24:43] said was about Sanju
[00:24:44] Sanju why didn't you laugh
[00:24:46] yeah I was worried about him
[00:24:49] I'll tell you why he was worried
[00:24:50] it was the power play time
[00:24:52] and he knew he was struggling
[00:24:53] for overs
[00:24:54] and if Boothie walked off
[00:24:55] he was in a soup
[00:24:58] OK Joss, are you ready with your
[00:24:59] yeah I think I'm actually
[00:25:00] going to I think Boothie is just
[00:25:02] such a like good man to watch
[00:25:04] even in the part
[00:25:04] he sometimes he's getting padded up
[00:25:06] for us while we're still in the power play
[00:25:09] I don't want to be rushed
[00:25:11] yeah he's quite a nervous character
[00:25:13] around his batting
[00:25:14] even you know
[00:25:14] even though he's got so much talent
[00:25:15] as he showed the other day
[00:25:17] but just listening to some of
[00:25:18] the shadow batting
[00:25:19] or the sounds that he's coming out
[00:25:21] with I'm sure if you watch him closely
[00:25:24] no well he is out there
[00:25:25] there's some interesting
[00:25:27] shadow batting going on
[00:25:28] or some good calls
[00:25:29] so I think Boothie's been
[00:25:31] will be of the
[00:25:32] when you say power play
[00:25:33] especially yeah
[00:25:34] you're the highlight of my trip
[00:25:36] like the other day he came out
[00:25:37] padded up to the dugout
[00:25:38] I was waiting to go in next
[00:25:40] and he came in and said
[00:25:41] I think you're hitting the ball
[00:25:42] well you go ahead of me
[00:25:47] Sanju your best
[00:25:48] more on field funny moment
[00:25:50] there has been many
[00:25:51] the best one is I think
[00:25:52] just one which I told you
[00:25:53] about McCoy
[00:25:54] I think the best one
[00:25:55] I think which was the funniest
[00:25:56] but are you going to reveal what it is
[00:25:58] no it's a
[00:25:59] beep beep beep
[00:26:00] yeah the beep
[00:26:01] we've got editors
[00:26:02] enough guys doing the job
[00:26:03] I am too humble for that
[00:26:07] right
[00:26:08] one one incredibly
[00:26:10] good moment
[00:26:11] like a feel good moment on the field
[00:26:12] where you
[00:26:13] where it was you or the team
[00:26:14] or anything
[00:26:15] and
[00:26:16] Joss you had quite a few
[00:26:17] I think we'll start with you
[00:26:18] yeah I'm gonna say
[00:26:18] use these hat trick
[00:26:20] I thought that was
[00:26:21] yeah you don't often see hat tricks
[00:26:23] and I think especially
[00:26:24] at that time of the game
[00:26:25] it was obviously a brilliant game
[00:26:26] of cricket actually one of the
[00:26:27] favourite games
[00:26:28] I've been involved in
[00:26:30] high scoring
[00:26:30] it sort of had everything
[00:26:32] personally I did well
[00:26:33] and I'd been for
[00:26:35] you know a time of great pressure
[00:26:36] for Yuzi to take that hat trick
[00:26:38] and really win the game
[00:26:39] for us that was awesome
[00:26:40] Bouldy yourself
[00:26:41] I think same game
[00:26:43] over McCoy
[00:26:44] the contribution he made
[00:26:45] to seal the game
[00:26:47] you know the guys
[00:26:47] worked incredibly hard
[00:26:49] in his debut game
[00:26:50] and then finished it
[00:26:51] with the trademark
[00:26:52] celebration
[00:26:53] the push-per celebration
[00:26:54] yeah
[00:26:55] it was good to see
[00:26:56] so yeah pretty hot warming
[00:26:57] moment I thought
[00:26:58] Sanju
[00:26:59] same game
[00:27:00] same game
[00:27:00] to be very honest
[00:27:01] same game
[00:27:01] I was thinking the same game
[00:27:03] but after we won
[00:27:04] actually after we won
[00:27:05] I went into
[00:27:06] to do the dressing room
[00:27:07] normally I'm just still doubt
[00:27:08] but I think I could
[00:27:10] listen myself
[00:27:11] I think I was very pumped up
[00:27:12] and I was so angry
[00:27:13] I think I wanted to
[00:27:15] really win that game
[00:27:16] so I was very happy
[00:27:16] that we did actually
[00:27:17] it was a very
[00:27:18] one of the best games
[00:27:19] we have played in the Royal JSC
[00:27:21] so can we put that
[00:27:22] as the best win
[00:27:23] of the season from your side
[00:27:25] yeah
[00:27:25] Joss yourself
[00:27:26] the best win of the season
[00:27:27] yeah I'm with you
[00:27:28] the KK again
[00:27:29] alright nice
[00:27:30] yours Boalti
[00:27:31] what happened in the food game
[00:27:33] Pune
[00:27:34] Pune
[00:27:35] I thought that was a great start
[00:27:36] a clinical game
[00:27:37] yeah it was a clinical game
[00:27:38] new team
[00:27:39] you know
[00:27:40] just understanding
[00:27:41] how everyone wants to roll
[00:27:43] and I thought we did well
[00:27:44] and got the tournament
[00:27:45] off for a good start
[00:27:46] generally we have music
[00:27:47] while coming back
[00:27:48] from games right
[00:27:49] like when we had wins
[00:27:50] we have like loud music
[00:27:52] when we've lost
[00:27:53] sometimes there is sober music
[00:27:54] or sometimes there's no music at all
[00:27:55] and
[00:27:56] which is the worst song
[00:27:57] that's been played on the bus Boalti
[00:28:01] I couldn't tell you the artist
[00:28:02] or who
[00:28:03] you don't have to
[00:28:04] you can just say who played it
[00:28:06] oh Yeggy
[00:28:06] as soon as he gets a hold
[00:28:07] same Yeggy
[00:28:08] yeah
[00:28:08] as soon as he gets a hold
[00:28:09] of that little speaker
[00:28:10] you just
[00:28:10] full chip songs
[00:28:11] oh yeah I want to jump off the bus
[00:28:14] seriously
[00:28:15] so the feeling coach
[00:28:16] Deshanti Agnick
[00:28:17] that's a message for you
[00:28:18] hopefully you don't
[00:28:18] control the speaker anymore
[00:28:19] Joss what about you
[00:28:20] we got him some of those headphones as well
[00:28:22] what about you
[00:28:22] what about you
[00:28:23] I thought I had some spice girls
[00:28:25] at one point
[00:28:25] from Darrell Mitchell
[00:28:26] so
[00:28:27] I have to say I secretly did really enjoy it
[00:28:30] but
[00:28:32] we can edit that out
[00:28:34] but now Hetty and Rian
[00:28:36] they're not shy
[00:28:37] we're just cruising around with the speakers on
[00:28:39] and
[00:28:40] yeah I like the way Hetty
[00:28:41] just sort of wears it
[00:28:42] like a
[00:28:42] sort of man bag as well
[00:28:45] he dominates that speaker
[00:28:47] Sanju
[00:28:48] yeah same as Boalti
[00:28:49] I think Deshanti Agnick needs to
[00:28:52] just get out of that bus sometimes
[00:28:55] okay we've spoken enough about analytics
[00:28:57] we've spoken enough about match day
[00:28:59] a very integral part of
[00:29:00] pre-match day
[00:29:01] and match day is the coach of the team
[00:29:03] Sangakara right
[00:29:05] one of those games
[00:29:06] he walked out
[00:29:07] during the time out
[00:29:08] strategic time out
[00:29:09] and he was angry
[00:29:10] like angry means I have not seen a coach
[00:29:12] angry like that ever in
[00:29:14] all these years of experience
[00:29:15] and he was angry
[00:29:17] and
[00:29:18] why?
[00:29:19] he wasn't
[00:29:20] he was angry
[00:29:21] and he was angry
[00:29:22] and I thought he was going to give it to someone
[00:29:23] and he said
[00:29:24] you
[00:29:25] Boalti what is your strength
[00:29:28] that didn't make sense
[00:29:30] he's very angry
[00:29:31] I thought he was going to like dish it out
[00:29:32] and then he said
[00:29:33] gonna stick to your plan
[00:29:34] and he just masked his anger I felt
[00:29:36] so as a captain
[00:29:37] have you found like Sangakara was about to burst
[00:29:40] and then held himself back
[00:29:41] as it happened during the season
[00:29:43] many times
[00:29:46] yes I think it's very
[00:29:48] it's very normal actually
[00:29:49] I think same has happened to me also
[00:29:51] I think it's very normal to see
[00:29:53] emotions go up and down
[00:29:54] I think Sangakara has been a
[00:29:56] great coach to be with actually
[00:29:58] I think we both are learning from each other
[00:30:00] actually both are a bit different
[00:30:01] I feel I think he is a bit
[00:30:03] to
[00:30:05] he spends a lot of time thinking about the game
[00:30:07] looking at the videos
[00:30:08] the analyst part
[00:30:09] data part
[00:30:10] everything part
[00:30:11] but I am someone different
[00:30:12] so I think we both have been complimenting
[00:30:14] each other at times
[00:30:15] at times we don't
[00:30:16] we actually are okay also
[00:30:18] having some disagreements also
[00:30:20] I think yes it has been going well I feel
[00:30:22] agreeing to disagree is a very
[00:30:24] famous line quoted by
[00:30:26] management gurus
[00:30:28] I am not bringing management here
[00:30:29] Joss what about you
[00:30:30] have you seen Sanga in any
[00:30:31] you are a part of the decision making in the team
[00:30:33] you are part of many meetings
[00:30:35] you are part of many many many meetings
[00:30:37] and how do you find Sanga
[00:30:39] is he bursting out with anger sometimes
[00:30:42] sometimes I think sometimes I look at him
[00:30:44] and think this guy could probably talk underwater
[00:30:46] he can talk so much
[00:30:48] but I think he
[00:30:50] you know he has got some great value to
[00:30:52] that he shares
[00:30:53] I think obviously when you are such a great player
[00:30:55] as he was in his own right
[00:30:57] I am sure at times he is sat there watching us
[00:30:59] thinking what are these idiots doing
[00:31:01] but probably the toughest place to be
[00:31:03] is at long off
[00:31:04] when you are near our dugout
[00:31:06] and Mali will come up
[00:31:08] and Sanga will run over and say something
[00:31:10] then Darrell will come up and say
[00:31:12] Sanga is coming to tell me this
[00:31:14] and I just sort of
[00:31:16] wave frantically at Sanga to try and get
[00:31:18] moved somewhere else
[00:31:20] oh is that why you do that
[00:31:22] I thought you were trying to advise him
[00:31:24] just to help
[00:31:25] can I come up for a ball
[00:31:27] no Sanga has been great
[00:31:29] I think there has been a couple of real key nuggets
[00:31:32] that I have taken on board for my own game
[00:31:34] just listening to him talking about batting
[00:31:36] and I think it has been
[00:31:39] again like Sanga it is really interesting
[00:31:41] getting to know him even better
[00:31:43] and the detail
[00:31:45] the way he goes like you say
[00:31:47] from both is that calm
[00:31:49] methodical side
[00:31:51] and then the passionate
[00:31:53] which you always get from
[00:31:55] when I played against Sri Lanka
[00:31:57] you could feel that coming through
[00:31:59] from the way he played the game
[00:32:01] it has been great to get to know him better
[00:32:03] I heard one of the greatest cricketers
[00:32:05] that I have played the game with
[00:32:07] that it is easier to be a cricketer
[00:32:09] and become a coach
[00:32:11] and almost feel like you cannot control anything here
[00:32:13] and I am sure being a coach
[00:32:15] giving a bit of empathy to the coach
[00:32:17] is sometimes very important
[00:32:19] because I can put myself in that shoes
[00:32:21] and think I would be absolutely a disaster here
[00:32:23] and
[00:32:25] Bholty that is why the question is coming to you now
[00:32:27] how do you find the Bholers meetings
[00:32:29] how are your interactions with Sanga
[00:32:31] I understand what you are saying Ash
[00:32:33] a guy of his quality
[00:32:35] would obviously like to be out there
[00:32:37] rather than moving players
[00:32:39] around on a piece of paper on the sideline
[00:32:41] but the Bholing meetings have been long
[00:32:43] would be the first word that comes to my mind
[00:32:45] very in depth
[00:32:47] and then you are dealing with Malinga
[00:32:49] who is a quality Bholer
[00:32:51] very experienced and had his very unique way
[00:32:53] of
[00:32:55] Bholing and approaching it
[00:32:57] it has been a good challenge
[00:32:59] and there have been some good learnings as well
[00:33:01] but it has been a special group
[00:33:03] to be a part of
[00:33:05] and I quickly realised that Kuma
[00:33:07] thought that I might be a better batsman
[00:33:09] than what he thinks
[00:33:11] but
[00:33:13] an example of that was probably the third or fourth game
[00:33:15] I was padded up and he came over to me and said
[00:33:17] you are a next
[00:33:19] if you go out there and work the ones
[00:33:21] and back of the length push it here
[00:33:23] and look to cut and come back and rotate it around here
[00:33:25] I thought man like
[00:33:27] I just quickly stopped him and said
[00:33:29] if I hit this thing
[00:33:31] I am going to be happy so
[00:33:33] let's just keep it very simple here
[00:33:35] and he kind of laughed and said why you go
[00:33:37] it has been good fun
[00:33:39] personally watching you bad I think you are setting low standards for yourself
[00:33:41] for the kind of ability you have got
[00:33:43] I haven't seen many better ball strikers
[00:33:45] than what I saw the other day at CCI
[00:33:47] anyway keeping that aside
[00:33:49] I think benchmarks and excellence
[00:33:51] can be a very tough journey
[00:33:53] and I think we at the Royals, Rajasthan Royals
[00:33:55] this year have embarked on a very special journey
[00:33:57] that is our
[00:33:59] rap on this particular episode of the Royals
[00:34:01] podcast
[00:34:03] everybody is cheering on and Sanju is extremely happy
[00:34:05] the parting word from the captain
[00:34:07] anything
[00:34:09] that is our rap on this particular episode
[00:34:11] thank you for joining us
[00:34:13] and once again if you are free
[00:34:15] latch on to Spotify and listen to the Royals podcast
[00:34:17] thank you
