You guys might have been on the field, but what I did created an atmosphere—there was a light show and fireworks, true pyrotechnics! Very, very good! Well done, Raipur. You gave a warm welcome to the Indian team. The essence of Indian cricket—the real deal! That’s our spirit right there! We might usually be commentators on the periphery of things, but today, we were players. Thanks a lot for making our game, well, thanks a lot! The first T20 match—this international raised the bar of this ground to a good reputation. The HD pitch was great.
Batting after winning the toss and bowling—no-brainers because it seemed the dew wasn’t here, making it easier to change ends. Dew wasn’t due, fair, ’cause yesterday, I spoke to you about whether it was due or not. I went to the ground, and there was absolutely no dew, not at all! So, I even pitched for spin in the second innings, otherwise, it wouldn’t have been possible. Bold Yorkers that weren’t bold generally and youthful able to bat isn’t as good and despite starting strong, some got out on short balls. Short balls aren’t a problem in white-ball cricket. I saw them getting out on short balls many times. But man, what’s their data network? Maybe, just maybe. But Shreyas Iyer, Dean Luck, personally, didn’t seem to feel it in the field; the ball wasn’t sticking to their hands. They couldn’t make a throw. They were struggling in batting too, three troubles ahead. Then, an attempt to hit a big shot, from fifty-four to no loss to sixty. Seven-three, falling wickets, then Rinku. This series will actually be remembered, Rinku. Different roles at different places were given to them, and it was very good. I mean, wherever you put them. In the ninth, they came in to bat.
The reverse sweep for a six was exceptional. It was a fantastic hit, and they played till the end. God, for twenty overs, I felt they wouldn’t get out. I mean, they shouldn’t have. Why give it to the umpire? No idea why they’re giving it. Benefit of the doubt goes to the batter, not the umpire. Jitesh played well. It was an important match for him because such opportunities don’t come often. But facing good shots from the opposition, one-four, a decent total, this Australian team doesn’t sit well with me. They played the Bend Warriors but didn’t play Nathan Ellis. Didn’t field Jason Behrendorff in one match. Sometimes they make Matthew Short bowl power play. Then they don’t. It’s a different game for them. Travis Head. They bowl, but the pitch they’re bowling on doesn’t think it’s very serious about this series. They think it’s just a formality to complete. Okay, so we’re playing to win. Playing with a big heart. The only problem is this series. We still haven’t used the sixth ball. Haven’t utilized it. We’re not even trying, and we started making runs at the beginning. Travis was hitting, but Ravi Bishnoi will bowl, no one can sweep him. Nobody’s listening to you. What’s their name? Matthew Short, Josh Philippe. Akshar Patel comes in. They’re being swept all over.
They don’t want to play straight bat shots. At the same time, they feel all the pressure. This is your second eleven. If there’s such a big gap between Australia’s second eleven and the first second eleven, don’t ask for the answer, I won’t do it. What we’re witnessing, this is the real mirror. Australia’s cricket looks very ordinary! Deepak Chahar’s start wasn’t good, but he ended beautifully with two wickets off short balls, which started bowling, short balls, slower one bouncers, crucial wickets. Actually, it wasn’t a well-timed yorker that everyone was bowling. Whether it’s our Bhavesh or Mukesh. Matthew Wade alone and generally walked out. India won the match by 20 runs. The series win is a lot of matches won in T20s. Altogether, brother, we’ve won. Ameen, we’ve won. Great inning by the sixth bowler. Rinku Singh, I think, is the highlight of the tournament. I will go to the last match in Bangalore on this series because it’s my anniversary. From Fort St. Elbie home for the day, two to flights, three to flights, four to flights three. Continuously catching flights in the morning, right, fairy, tired, honestly, the long lay. That’s it for today. Check the rest on the radio for more excitement from the ground. Yeah, let’s check out the entire show today. Thank you
