00:00 Much of your cricket has been played under Virat and there has been a stable ship with Ravi bhai also and the previous team management
00:07 But Indian cricket is now going through a lot of changes. The leadership has changed the team management has changed
00:12 So, how are you all coping knowing that in nine months you play another World Cup
00:17 Then there is another World Cup and you are in the middle of a World Test Championships, I think. So how are you going through this phase?
00:24 And there's a lot of changes in the leadership
00:29 Yeah, see I can't speak for everyone but for me I can say that it doesn't really make a lot of difference
00:35 Yes, we all are here to help in however way we can and I think that's the way all the players are responding to
00:42 The changes that are happening as well. Everybody is respectful and they understand
00:46 How the process are going the change is the only constant so we are happy. Yes, everybody is contributing
00:51 We are getting a lot of knowledge. Everybody is trying to contribute towards that
00:56 So I don't think anybody is facing a problem or is in a weird space with the change that is happening
01:03 Everybody understands the change
01:04 Everybody's played enough cricket to understand that this is the way the game goes and this is how you have to move forward
01:10 so everyone's as a team everyone in the team is quite positive and quite eager to
01:16 you know contribute and
01:19 Go about the change that how is happening.
01:21 See sir, I think you want responsibility when you come to Indian cricket
01:26 Because if there's no responsibility and no pressure then the game won't be fun
01:29 So I try to do the same that whatever responsibility comes in and however way we can contribute
01:36 We look forward to doing our best to fulfil that responsibility
01:41 As a bowler, when I came new to the team I used to ask a lot of questions
01:47 Because I have a passion to learn so I used to ask questions to the seniors as much as possible
01:53 So now in the transition phase, if the young players ask me questions then I can share that experience with them
01:59 So I try to do the same. Sometimes their inputs, fresh inputs can help me too
02:04 So we always try to have this communication that the whole team should be there
02:08 Sometimes if a new boy comes in with a fresh mindset, he has some special observation that might not be possible when he is in the team
02:16 So we try to have that good communication so that the team can benefit
02:21 Whether it is through the youngster or through the seasoned campaigner
02:25 you
