Transcript
00:00It's a big moment for Pakistan cricket.
00:03We have won the series for the second time in Australia.
00:06If you look at the numbers, we have won two out of five series.
00:11Which are very good and compatible numbers now.
00:15Very good numbers, you can say.
00:17Out of five, they have won three and we have won two.
00:20If we talk about this series, the Pakistan team has really made us happy.
00:26The kind of performance the boys have given us.
00:29The kind of body language.
00:32The way they played with passion and plan.
00:36They played intelligent cricket.
00:38There was no panic.
00:40They dominated.
00:43There were a lot of qualities in this series.
00:46We were not expecting this.
00:49Like you said, Waseem Akram is a big name.
00:52One of the biggest names in Pakistan's cricket.
00:56He goes everywhere and talks about Pakistan.
00:59Obviously, he is in the commentary box.
01:01He represents Pakistan.
01:03Even he said that we have won a match.
01:07Still, it's a big thing.
01:09I think it's a great surprise and a great gift from the Pakistan cricket team.
01:14Who should get the credit for this series?
01:20This is a team game.
01:22This is not an individual sport.
01:24This is a team sport.
01:26We know this.
01:28Teams win only those who play together.
01:31If you look at the history, if you review any team,
01:36if you analyze their performances,
01:39if you think about why Australia was so consistent in 2000.
01:45The way we were losing,
01:49two years later, I saw that our team was winning trophies.
01:54We have won a series like this.
01:56We have seen such a great performance.
01:58Do you think Rizwan should get the credit for this?
02:03I was coming to that.
02:05I was coming to that.
02:07Captain is a very key position in cricket.
02:12In cricket, the captain inspires the whole team.
02:15In the past, the captains like Waseem Akram,
02:18Inji Bhai, Mohin Khan, Imran Khan,
02:21they used to inspire the team.
02:24They used to inspire the team and lead the team.
02:27What I have seen in the Pakistan cricket team,
02:30Rizwan, I was sure that whenever he will become the captain,
02:34this will be the result.
02:36Because we have played cricket,
02:38and this boy knows how he leads the team,
02:41how he leads United.
02:43Look, the captain starts flopping there,
02:46when he puts pressure on himself.
02:48And his ability to think ends.
02:51He gets mentally blocked.
02:54He doesn't listen to anyone.
02:56He doesn't consult anyone.
02:59This is what Rizwan did.
03:02He leads everyone.
03:04Number two, he stays in eye contact with the bowler.
03:07When your captain is a wicket-keeper,
03:10even before this, Sarfaraz was the captain.
03:12He won the ICC champion trophy.
03:14He raised his game there.
03:17He came to play at number four.
03:19A Sri Lankan match,
03:21his catch was dropped.
03:23But still, why did Allah give him respect?
03:26There was unity,
03:28discipline,
03:30and the will to do something.
03:32We can still see that.
03:34There is still a lot to do.
03:36We will see.
