01:09 They told me to start keeping.
01:10 I started keeping just like that.
01:12 Yes, just like that.
01:14 I was also an office spin, but I was a batter.
01:15 I couldn't bowl.
01:17 So, I got an opportunity and I thought I'd do it.
01:19 Because I had a friend, Tariq.
01:21 He was a very good tennis bowler.
01:24 He would hit a fast bowler and was an outstanding wicket.
01:27 I was very inspired by him.
01:29 So, I got an opportunity in school and I started keeping.
01:33 And then in the club, there was a league match I played in
01:38 and I was given the role of a wicket-keeper.
01:40 I was an opener.
01:42 I used to be an opener.
01:43 So, when I got the opportunity, I made three catches and a stump.
01:48 So, that's how I started my wicket-keeping.
01:51 And then, people told me that I have the skill and I can work hard.
01:57 Then I got selected in the same year, under 14.
01:59 I went to Sindh for the first time.
02:02 I gave a trial for the province and got selected as a wicket-keeper.
02:06 Then I got to know that there is something.
02:09 Which wicket-keepers are your favorites in today's cricket?
02:14 And why?
02:15 In today's cricket, I like Rizwan a lot.
02:17 The way he plays.
02:19 Previously, if you go, Sir Faraz was a very fine wicket-keeper and batsman.
02:23 Both were batsmen and wicket-keepers.
02:26 I think both of them are still prioritized in wicket-keeping.
02:30 And if you ask him, he will say that wicket-keeping is his priority.
02:36 And I tell Azam to focus on keeping. Keeping is very important.
02:41 But I like these two in today's cricket.
02:44 And if you go back, I like MS Dhoni a lot.
02:49 He has given outstanding performances for India.
02:53 He has won big tournaments.
02:56 He is a man who has brought a revolution in Indian cricket
03:01 with wicket-keeping, batting and captaincy.
03:05 That is exceptional.
03:07 So, these are the two or three.
03:08 And if you go back to the beginning, I started with Salim Yusuf Wasim Bari.
03:13 Ian Healy was my favorite.
03:15 Kiran Morey was my favorite at that time.
03:17 They are good names.
03:19 They are great wicket-keepers.
03:20 Mohin, tell me, as you said,
03:25 a wicket-keeper should be a wicket-keeper and then a batter.
03:29 So, if we talk about different formats, like tests, ODIs and T20s,
03:35 if we talk about white-ball,
03:37 if a wicket-keeper has kept 50 overs,
03:42 and he has to open as soon as he comes.
03:44 Because it allows the captain to bring another player.
03:48 You have to make a strong combination.
03:50 So, what do you think?
03:52 Should a batter be a keeper or a keeper-batter?
03:55 If we look at all three formats.
03:57 As a cricketer, if you want to be a complete cricketer,
04:02 you have to know how to play in all three formats.
04:06 If you are a good and smart cricketer,
04:09 you can transform yourself quickly.
04:11 That is the top thing.
04:12 If I give you an example in recent cricket,
04:15 I think Rizwan is the best example.
04:18 He has convinced himself.
04:20 Five years ago, when we used to go,
04:22 he used to get dropped by the team.
04:24 He used to get out. But he takes challenges.
04:26 It's a challenging job.
04:28 Basically, if you miss a catch,
04:31 you are thrown out of the team. You lose the match.
04:34 If you get criticized, you can catch five catches.
04:37 If you miss one at a time, it's all on the blame-keeper.
04:39 It's a tough job. It's a challenging job.
04:42 With this challenge, Rizwan has transformed himself.
04:45 He has proved himself. He can open the ball.
04:48 He can keep the ball.
04:50 I don't know if he can open the ball in ODI.
04:52 I don't think he can.
04:54 But we have examples. Adam Gilchrist is an example.
04:57 He used to open the ball after keeping it for 50 overs.
04:59 Look at his records.
05:00 No ODI batsman has such records as Adam Gilchrist.
05:05 It depends on how high you want to take yourself.
05:10 Where do you want to progress?
05:12 What is your vision?
05:14 Do you want to leave your standards?
05:17 Do you want to make people say that you are alive?
05:23 I have been talking about this.
05:25 It all depends.
05:26 We talk about Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods,
05:29 and Jahangir Khan.
05:31 They are legends.
05:32 They have...
05:34 We say that these things can't happen in the future.
05:39 We talk about Sachin, Virat Kohli, and their records.
05:42 We say that these records might not break.
05:45 The reason is that people,
05:47 especially professional players,
05:50 have restricted themselves.
05:53 They say that they will play T20,
05:54 or concentrate on ODI or concentrate on tests.
05:57 Why not all three formats?
05:59 It depends on how professional you are
06:02 and how much time you give to your profession.
06:05 Mohin, what drills should our kids do
06:13 for spin bowling, as a wicket keeper, or for pace bowling?
06:17 We will take you to our studio's pitch.
06:20 - Okay. - After a break.
06:22 I will ask some technical questions,
06:24 but on the pitch.
06:26 See you after the break.
06:27 Welcome back from the break.
06:34 Before the break, we were discussing
06:38 what basic drills Mohin has done
06:42 against spin bowling,
06:43 which helped him in his wicket keeping and pace bowling.
06:48 We will also ask him about his favourite wicket keepers.
06:53 What do they see in them
06:55 that our viewers should do the same
07:00 and they should also have an advantage?
07:01 - Yes, Mohin. - Basically, I will tell you.
07:04 The easiest stance is this.
07:07 You sit comfortably.
07:09 As you can see, my elbows are on the ground.
07:14 In drills, when you look at the ball,
07:17 as I said, it is very important.
07:20 You should think, "I have the ball. I will catch it."
07:23 "I will get the ball."
07:24 Another important thing is the bounce.
07:28 The ball is bouncing.
07:30 You have to get up with that bounce.
07:32 If you get up with the pitch,
07:34 you will immediately get an idea of the bounce.
07:38 Your body adjusts accordingly.
07:41 So, whenever you start,
07:44 you have to look at the ball in the bowler's hand.
07:48 You have to try to think, "I will get the ball."
07:52 "I will get the catch, the stump, whatever."
07:54 "I will get the ball. I will catch it."
07:58 Whether it is for stumping or catching.
08:01 This is the basic. And it has a repetition.
08:03 You keep doing this constantly.
08:06 There will come a time when you will not have anything in mind.
08:08 You will only have one thing in mind.
08:10 "I have to catch the ball."
08:11 Automatically, the body reacts.
08:13 When you have a repetition of one thing,
08:16 in our coaching field,
08:19 if you repeat one thing 10,000 times,
08:23 you will automatically come near to perfection.
08:26 Similarly, it all depends on the fast bowler.
08:29 How much distance you have to take from the pitch.
08:31 How far you have to sit from the pitch.
08:34 How much bounce you have to gather.
08:36 You have to catch the ball at knee height.
08:41 So, you have to maintain distance
08:44 according to the amount of bounce in the pitch.
08:47 Naturally, it depends on the bowler's pace also.
08:50 If the bowler is light, you have to come forward.
08:53 If it is Shoaib, Wasim or Waqar,
08:56 you have to go very far.
08:57 I remember that when Wasim used to bowl slow,
09:02 he used to give you signals.
09:04 He used to do this or that.
09:06 It used to happen.
09:07 It used to happen.
09:09 Unfortunately, I see it is lagging in today's cricket.
09:12 If your coordination with the wicket-keeper is good,
09:16 because there are so many variations today,
09:19 it is very important to have an understanding.
09:21 You have to give a slight signal
09:23 when the wicket-keeper comes forward.
09:25 Or you can change the field.
09:27 Unfortunately, it is not happening.
09:29 Which is a very good thing that we used to do, Wasim.
09:32 - I used to catch the ball. - I remember, Mohin,
09:35 when he used to give you signals,
09:37 like this shoulder or this side or this side,
09:40 which was fresh at that time.
09:41 He used to bowl a lot.
09:44 It happened many times,
09:46 which we see in today's cricket.
09:48 Often, the edge is on the slow ball.
09:51 But if the keeper is standing in his place,
09:53 the ball lands and he gets a one-bounce.
09:56 But you took a lot of catches,
09:58 Rashid Bhai took a lot of catches.
09:59 The coordination, as you were saying,
10:02 is a very good point.
10:04 - We should look at it. - I remember the 100th victim,
10:07 Wasim Bhai's ball in Melbourne.
10:09 He was catching the catch of Craig Blvd.
10:10 Although, he was not catching the catch.
10:13 Because Australian pitches are like this.
10:14 - You know, there is a lot of bounce. - Yes.
10:16 But in our pitches, because there is less bounce,
10:18 the keeper has to come forward more.
10:21 And it's a good thing, as you said,
10:23 it is very important
10:25 that you have an understanding with the bowler.
10:27 My understanding with Lala...
10:28 If Lala wanted to hit a faster ball,
10:30 he would have asked us to give him a signal.
10:32 Normally, he would have given a signal
10:34 that it's wrong two or three times.
10:36 So, you know, you become alert.
10:39 You are ready.
10:41 You can easily catch the ball.
10:42 And if someone does it without telling you,
10:45 it's difficult.
10:46 You have a chance of injury.
10:47 Because when you are keeping the ball
10:51 in front of you,
10:52 when you go to catch the ball on your leg,
10:54 I will tell you a little bit.
10:56 You become blind in that.
10:57 So, Javed Bhai used to tell us
10:59 that if you want to drill it,
11:02 because there were less resources at that time,
11:04 he used to tell us to keep the bag in front of us.
11:06 You know, we did it like this.
11:08 So, when we used to sit like this,
11:09 this side would become blind.
11:10 The batsman would come in front.
11:11 So, we used to catch the ball
11:14 as an idea with the bounce and spin of the pitch.
11:18 So, this is also a drill.
11:19 You can keep a bag in front of you
11:21 or something like this
11:23 so that your eyesight gets blocked.
11:26 So, you become blind.
11:28 Yes, you become blind.
11:29 Because it's difficult on the leg side.
11:31 So, these are the common and basic drills.
11:34 And I think
11:36 fitness level is very important for a wicketkeeper.
11:38 Especially the lower portion of the body.
11:41 It should be very strong.
11:43 If it's strong,
11:45 jogging is very important.
11:46 Weight training is very important
11:48 for your quadriceps muscles,
11:51 your calf muscles.
11:53 And again, I would say
11:56 that your approach should be very top-notch
11:58 if you want to become a wicketkeeper.
11:59 Because if your approach is not good,
12:02 you will be indecisive in things.
12:04 So, you won't get the result at the end.
12:06 If you want good results,
12:08 if you want to reach the top level,
12:09 then you have to compete.
12:11 Absolutely.
12:12 Mohin bhai, when we were talking
12:14 about your favorite wicketkeepers,
12:16 you mentioned their names.
12:18 Can you tell us one by one
12:21 so that the kids can learn
12:24 why they are good
12:26 because this thing is very strong?
12:29 I used to judge the keepers.
12:32 Naturally, they used to catch the ball.
12:33 They were the best.
12:34 That's why they were in the national team.
12:36 You know.
12:37 But their gestures,
12:40 their grips,
12:41 the grip of their hands
12:44 with which we catch the ball,
12:45 some wicketkeepers,
12:47 like Kiran More,
12:48 he used to sit like this
12:49 and his gloves used to open like this.
12:51 He used to hold it like this.
12:52 He used to inspire me a lot.
12:54 When I started...
12:55 Then I started watching Ian Healy.
12:57 When Ian Healy used to keep the wicket
12:59 on Shane Warne,
13:00 he was an outstanding world-class bowler.
13:02 He was very soft.
13:03 Very soft in hand.
13:05 He used to hold it like this.
13:06 His grip was a little tight.
13:08 Kiran More's grip was like this.
13:10 He used to hold it like this.
13:11 And Ian Healy's grip was a little tight.
13:14 But this...
13:16 - His hands were moving. - Yes.
13:18 His thumbs were a little open.
13:20 And he was soft.
13:21 So, in keeping,
13:22 soft hands are very important.
13:24 Like,
13:25 I always give Rashid's example.
13:26 He was a very soft-handed wicketkeeper.
13:29 He used to hold it very easily.
13:30 It seemed like wicketkeeping was easy.
13:32 But it's the most difficult job in cricket.
13:35 In the beginning, I didn't know much about it.
13:38 When I joined the Pakistan team,
13:40 I used to be very stiff.
13:42 So, gradually,
13:45 I tried to be soft.
13:46 And I improved a lot because of that.
13:48 So, keeping your palms soft
13:51 is also very important.
13:53 If they are soft, you can easily
13:55 turn the pace of the ball off
13:56 when it's in your hand.
13:58 If you...
14:00 There are a few examples.
14:01 Previously, Pakistan's wicketkeeper
14:02 was like this. His grip was like this.
14:04 He used to push the ball back when it hit the ball.
14:07 So, it's always good to have soft hands.
14:10 Very soft hands.
14:12 Mohit, you are
14:14 very good at picking up shots
14:16 in today's cricket.
14:21 - Absolutely. - I want you to do it for two minutes.
14:24 Because I still remember
14:26 the sixes you used to hit the pace bowlers.
14:28 - Pick up shots, especially the length balls. - Absolutely.
14:31 You used to do a technique for two minutes
14:36 which is now being used by batters
14:39 after so many years.
14:41 - But after a short break. - Okay.
14:43 - It's very important to ask you. - Okay.
14:45 We will meet after a short break.
14:47 And we will ask Mohit a very important question.
14:50 Because Mohit has won many matches
14:52 with his batting
14:53 which we had lost hope of.
14:56 We will meet after the break.
14:57 Welcome back from the break.
15:04 Before we go on the break,
15:06 a very important thing.
15:07 Mohit's pick up sixes.
15:09 Which are very popular these days.
15:11 And every batter practices it.
15:13 But he started playing those shots
15:16 when no coach knew
15:20 what was going on in the mind.
15:22 - Yes, Mohit. - What was that technique?
15:25 It was nothing.
15:27 It was a good form.
15:28 I will share the basics of how to execute it.
15:34 But naturally, practice.
15:36 As I said, you have to do it.
15:39 Did you do any drill?
15:40 No, nothing special.
15:41 To be honest, because
15:43 your eye should be good.
15:45 Your assumption should be good.
15:47 The length of the ball.
15:48 Is it in the middle stump or off stump?
15:51 Even if you hit the off stump or middle stump
15:53 or the key balls, there is no issue.
15:55 But the most important thing I did in cricket
15:58 is to keep your eye on the ball.
15:59 Because if you keep your eye on the ball,
16:01 your body part will react accordingly.
16:05 When you keep your eye on the ball,
16:08 you can assume the length of the ball.
16:10 What is the line? Where is it falling?
16:12 It was a simple thing.
16:15 Naturally,
16:18 you had to make a pre-assumption.
16:20 If the ball falls here, I will play a shot here.
16:22 When you have a good form,
16:24 you get the ball in the same place.
16:25 There are many things like that.
16:27 It also has a little bravery.
16:30 In those days, shots were very rare.
16:34 We saw Viv Richard,
16:36 but no big players came after him.
16:38 I will say Inzy. I saw him play.
16:41 He was very inspired by Inzy.
16:43 So, basically, eye on the ball.
16:45 As I said, you should know.
16:47 The ball is in the bowler's hand.
16:48 You have to pick it up from there.
16:50 Even if he is leaving it, you have to keep an eye on the ball.
16:53 If you keep an eye on the ball, you will know
16:55 that you can play easily
16:57 wherever you want to play.
16:58 But in that,
17:01 you have to keep an eye on the ball.
17:03 You have to move your foot forward.
17:06 You can say "wait" wherever you want.
17:08 As I said earlier,
17:09 when you get a message in your mind,
17:12 your body part reacts automatically
17:14 after the repetition.
17:15 This is how shots were played.
17:22 Practice is important.
17:25 You should know that this is also very important.
17:27 If you are going to hit a six,
17:30 you will need full force.
17:32 If you don't have full force,
17:33 then you have to know where your fielders are.
17:37 Either they are on the square side,
17:39 or in the fine side,
17:40 or it's in the circle.
17:42 It depends.
17:44 Similarly, the swing of the bat.
17:47 You can swing it from any direction.
17:49 But if you swing it in a big way,
17:52 the power comes in the shot.
17:55 So, in that,
17:56 you have to look at the side of the bat.
18:00 This is the shot.
18:02 This is going to the square side.
18:03 If you swing it a little faster,
18:06 it will go to the fine side.
18:08 This is also very important for the execution of the shot.
18:12 He is a better batsman than me.
18:13 He can tell you everything in a better way.
18:15 If this is the fielder,
18:17 you are playing against Faiz Balrog,
18:18 and the final leg is inside,
18:19 then you have to swing it a little faster.
18:21 We have seen it in T20.
18:23 Everyone is already sitting.
18:24 You just have to swing it and it's gone.
18:27 At that time, this shot is played by Shant Tilkarat.
18:31 He used to play the scoop shot.
18:33 Eventually, all the players have become masters in T20.
18:39 It all depends on the movement.
18:42 If you move it like this, it will go to the square.
18:45 If you open it like this, it will go to the fine side.
18:47 If you scoop it, it will go from the top.
18:50 These are the basic techniques.
18:53 And it all comes from how you practice.
18:56 We have taken tips from Mohin Bhai on many things.
19:01 Now it's time to meet him in the outdoor coaching zone.
19:05 - Thank you so much, Mohin Bhai. - Thank you, Shib.
19:07 - Thank you. - It was a lot of fun.
19:08 We got a lot of inside information.
19:10 - It will be very useful for all our kids. - Thank you.
19:13 Thank you so much.
19:14 As Mohin Bhai told us in the studio,
19:22 he didn't execute some basic drills,
19:27 but he did tell us in the talks.
19:29 That's why we are in our outdoor coaching zone
19:32 where we have a youngster,
19:35 a very good wicket-keeper.
19:37 And we have Mr. Javed Kadir from the Pakistan cricket team.
19:41 He will show us some drills with the kids.
19:45 Let's watch.
19:46 [MUSIC PLAYING]
19:48 We saw that the catch that came in the back,
20:11 whether you are a fielder or a wicket-keeper,
20:14 the goal is to watch the ball till the end.
20:17 Once the ball hits your hand, you have to watch it.
20:20 And we saw how easily this kid caught the back-hand one
20:24 because he was watching the ball till the end.
