WEBVTT

00:25.985 --> 00:27.305
Thank you!

00:31.305 --> 00:33.825
Good evening and welcome
to <i>The Great Indian Kapil Show!</i>

00:35.465 --> 00:37.985
Kapil! Kapil! Kapil!

00:38.065 --> 00:39.945
- Thank you.
- Kapil! Kapil! Kapil!

00:40.025 --> 00:42.065
Today is very special for us.

00:42.145 --> 00:45.705
Tonight, we're joined
by two cricket legends.

00:45.785 --> 00:46.785
Actually, three.

00:48.225 --> 00:49.505
The thing is,

00:49.585 --> 00:52.305
these two rely strictly on cricket.

00:52.385 --> 00:53.745
As for Sidhu <i>sahab…</i>

00:54.865 --> 00:56.105
He ventures into everything!

00:56.185 --> 00:57.865
- Oh, you--
- No!

00:59.465 --> 01:00.985
Today, I'll take the catch!

01:03.425 --> 01:06.625
Let's give a huge round of applause
to Sunil Gavaskar <i>sahab…</i>

01:10.865 --> 01:13.105
and Little Master Ravi Shastri <i>ji.</i>

01:14.505 --> 01:16.145
Wait!

01:16.945 --> 01:18.985
Hello! You've dialed the wrong number!

01:19.065 --> 01:20.225
He was the Little Master!

01:20.865 --> 01:21.745
Oh, no!

01:21.825 --> 01:23.345
He's a master of "little" drinks too!

01:28.145 --> 01:30.705
I've had the honor
to meet Sunny sir before,

01:30.785 --> 01:32.705
but I've never met Ravi sir.

01:32.785 --> 01:36.105
I asked Sidhu <i>paaji</i> quite a few times
to introduce me to Ravi sir.

01:36.185 --> 01:38.785
He said, "If you were a pretty actress,

01:39.625 --> 01:41.265
Ravi would've met you on his own.

01:42.705 --> 01:44.385
Now you have to work for it."

01:45.545 --> 01:49.345
I'm just kidding, but people say
Rajesh Khanna <i>sahab</i> in films

01:49.425 --> 01:50.785
and Ravi Shastri <i>sahab</i> in cricket

01:50.865 --> 01:54.025
had huge female fan followings.

01:54.105 --> 01:55.345
Someone was even saying

01:55.425 --> 01:58.825
that he'd have scored ten more centuries
with five fewer girlfriends.

01:59.745 --> 02:01.225
That's what we heard.

02:02.425 --> 02:05.265
And in India, sir, people love you so much

02:05.345 --> 02:07.625
that they name their kids
after cricketers.

02:07.705 --> 02:08.905
I'm one example.

02:08.985 --> 02:12.985
When Kapil <i>paaji</i> won the '83 World Cup,
my family named me Kapil after him.

02:13.505 --> 02:16.385
I think, "Thank goodness
West Indies didn't win that day!"

02:17.065 --> 02:20.145
Otherwise, today you'd have come
to <i>The Great Indian Clive Lloyd Show.</i>

02:23.585 --> 02:26.745
Ravi sir and Sunny sir's
commentary is amazing.

02:26.825 --> 02:28.745
When they speak, the world listens.

02:28.825 --> 02:31.065
But when Sidhu <i>sahab</i> speaks,
even the commentators listen

02:31.145 --> 02:33.065
because he doesn't let anyone else
get a word in.

02:33.985 --> 02:36.465
Commentary has gotten so fast now, <i>paaji.</i>

02:37.225 --> 02:39.865
Earlier-- Jasdev Singh <i>ji</i>
used to do it, remember?

02:40.505 --> 02:45.025
He would commentate live
on the Red Fort parade.

02:45.105 --> 02:47.065
He had such an interesting style.

02:47.145 --> 02:48.905
"These brave soldiers of India,

02:49.465 --> 02:52.745
marching past the ramparts
of the Red Fort,

02:53.585 --> 02:56.145
saluting the tricolor waving in the wind."

02:57.225 --> 03:00.785
The government even made them do
cricket commentary sometimes.

03:01.345 --> 03:02.545
The style was the same.

03:02.625 --> 03:04.385
"Valiant Indian bowler,

03:04.465 --> 03:08.865
Kapil Dev, marching
from the pavilion end at Eden Gardens,

03:09.545 --> 03:12.425
facing the great West Indies batsman
Vivian Richards."

03:13.385 --> 03:16.305
"Kapil bowls the ball,
and the batsman is clean bowled!"

03:16.385 --> 03:20.985
"The entire stadium salutes the bowler
with thunderous applause!"

03:22.465 --> 03:23.305
Lovely!

03:23.385 --> 03:27.225
His vocabulary was like,
"With thunderous applause,

03:27.305 --> 03:30.065
the stadium salutes the valiant bowler."

03:30.665 --> 03:33.785
Did Vivian Richards get out,
or was he shot?

03:33.865 --> 03:37.265
Like he was martyred!
They made it feel like that.

03:37.345 --> 03:39.585
- Radio commentary was even better, sir.
- Absolutely.

03:39.665 --> 03:42.425
There was no TV, so you could tell--

03:42.505 --> 03:45.945
We'd imagine what the players looked like.

03:46.025 --> 03:47.745
It was so much fun to listen.

03:48.465 --> 03:51.545
"India's opening batsman on the field,

03:51.625 --> 03:53.345
5'4" Gavaskar…"

03:53.425 --> 03:55.465
- 5'5", man!
- 5'5".

03:55.545 --> 03:58.625
- You were off by an inch!
- An inch or so doesn't matter.

03:59.745 --> 04:05.385
"5'5" Gavaskar, facing
the colossal 6'8" Joel Garner."

04:06.625 --> 04:08.305
"About one and a half Gavaskars."

04:15.745 --> 04:16.745
Oh, God!

04:16.825 --> 04:18.545
"Quite a magnificent sight!"

04:18.625 --> 04:20.745
"On one side, a 5-foot-plus mortal,

04:21.225 --> 04:22.985
on the other, a 7-foot monster."

04:25.145 --> 04:27.825
"Ravana effigies in small towns
are that tall."

04:31.425 --> 04:33.305
Commentary has gotten so fast now, sir.

04:33.385 --> 04:35.025
People watch it live on TV,

04:35.105 --> 04:36.905
so they comment on everything.

04:36.985 --> 04:39.625
If the camera pans to a girl,

04:39.705 --> 04:43.025
some commentators have
a poem ready for her too.

04:43.105 --> 04:43.945
"Look…"

04:48.065 --> 04:51.185
"Look, brother, Kohli is always
number one in the rankings!"

04:52.025 --> 04:54.185
"Kohli is always
number one in the rankings!"

04:54.265 --> 04:57.585
"And when such ladies attend,
I'm hooked too!"

05:05.545 --> 05:07.825
- Oh, God!
- Thank you. It's a gift for me.

05:09.345 --> 05:11.985
Back in the day, we had
black-and-white TVs. You all know this.

05:12.065 --> 05:14.545
Matches aired on Doordarshan.
Big cities had it fine,

05:14.625 --> 05:16.865
but in small towns, the signal--
In Amritsar,

05:16.945 --> 05:18.905
we even caught PTV, Pakistan TV.

05:18.985 --> 05:20.585
Signals got mixed up, right?

05:20.665 --> 05:22.705
Kapil Dev <i>sahab</i> runs in to bowl,

05:22.785 --> 05:24.625
and suddenly a crow lands on the antenna.

05:24.705 --> 05:27.785
Whatever position they were in,
they froze right there.

05:27.865 --> 05:30.945
Kapil Dev <i>sahab</i> would do this,
and the broadcast would freeze…

05:40.265 --> 05:41.745
If a batsman stood like this,

05:42.585 --> 05:43.745
and the antenna froze…

05:47.905 --> 05:49.745
Oh, God! This is so true!

05:50.665 --> 05:53.505
Sometimes two images
would blend into each other.

05:54.145 --> 05:57.465
I often saw Syed Kirmani <i>sahab</i>
keeping wickets behind the stumps,

05:58.825 --> 06:00.025
and the antenna would glitch,

06:00.105 --> 06:02.105
and he'd be sitting
on Javed Miandad's shoulders.

06:06.185 --> 06:07.465
Kapil!

06:07.545 --> 06:09.105
It was due to low voltage.

06:09.185 --> 06:12.305
So I'd quickly dial up the voltage
and get Kirmani <i>sahab</i> down.

06:14.345 --> 06:16.865
Things are so much better now, sir.

06:16.945 --> 06:19.865
The quality has completely changed.
Great kits, great fabrics.

06:19.945 --> 06:23.545
Back then, if someone dove,
their pants would tear.

06:23.625 --> 06:24.905
Sidhu <i>sahab,</i> you can testify to this.

06:24.985 --> 06:26.425
Skin peeled like a boiled potato!

06:26.505 --> 06:27.625
- Yeah.
- Oh, gosh!

06:27.705 --> 06:29.945
While saving a four, one would
end up showing his own boundaries!

06:36.665 --> 06:38.105
Sir, cricket is something else.

06:38.185 --> 06:41.265
Fans don't bother painting their homes,

06:41.345 --> 06:44.585
yet they paint their entire bodies
for the match.

06:44.665 --> 06:47.305
Right? And when it gets hot,

06:47.905 --> 06:49.145
the paint begins to peel.

06:50.585 --> 06:51.945
It looks like flaking plaster on a wall.

06:53.585 --> 06:57.465
Then sweat trickles down
straight along your spine.

07:01.225 --> 07:02.465
Right?

07:05.585 --> 07:08.625
And by the time it reaches your belt--

07:08.705 --> 07:11.025
You suddenly realize it's gone.

07:13.105 --> 07:15.025
Two seconds later, you realize

07:15.105 --> 07:16.505
the river has met the sea.

07:23.305 --> 07:25.145
We can never talk enough about cricket,

07:25.225 --> 07:28.505
but today we are honored
to host such legendary guests.

07:28.585 --> 07:29.745
Sunny sir, please welcome.

07:29.825 --> 07:31.945
Ravi sir, please. A round of applause!

07:40.145 --> 07:41.705
Sir, welcome!

07:42.665 --> 07:43.825
Love you, sir!

07:44.345 --> 07:45.385
Welcome, Ravi sir.

07:48.185 --> 07:50.465
<i>Paaji,</i> recite a couplet
for your friends today?

07:50.545 --> 07:54.465
6'4" and a 55-inch chest…

07:54.545 --> 07:55.745
- Wow!
- Still got it.

07:55.825 --> 07:59.025
Standing 6'4" tall and a 55-inch chest…

07:59.105 --> 08:01.345
And personality so charming
Truly the best.

08:01.425 --> 08:04.585
- Wow.
- Bravo! Wonderful!

08:06.025 --> 08:08.625
Ravi's era was something else, Kapil.

08:09.305 --> 08:12.425
Girls came less for the cricket
and more to see Ravi.

08:12.505 --> 08:13.385
Oh, my!

08:16.745 --> 08:18.585
- Spot on!
- Yeah!

08:19.745 --> 08:20.625
High-five!

08:20.705 --> 08:23.905
He was your captain,
but I was his captain.

08:24.665 --> 08:26.425
So, I know everything.

08:27.265 --> 08:30.585
Everyone was hooked on his batting style.

08:31.145 --> 08:34.065
Bowlers went mad with frustration.

08:34.145 --> 08:37.664
Fifty years before reels existed,

08:37.745 --> 08:40.985
- Sunil Gavaskar went viral worldwide!
- Viral worldwide!

08:44.144 --> 08:44.985
Viral!

08:45.664 --> 08:49.945
Kapil, an opener like him
has never existed.

08:50.025 --> 08:51.225
He is a legend.

08:51.305 --> 08:53.505
- Cricket is honored by his name.
- Absolutely.

08:53.585 --> 08:56.985
Ravi <i>bhaiya</i> was playing alongside me
in Pakistan.

08:57.065 --> 08:58.785
We were 24 for four.

08:58.865 --> 09:01.465
Imran Khan had left the grass
this tall in Sialkot, Ravi <i>bhaiya.</i>

09:01.545 --> 09:03.305
We were 24 for four,

09:03.385 --> 09:05.385
and Wasim Akram bowled a bouncer. Whoosh!

09:05.985 --> 09:07.265
It whizzed right past me.

09:07.345 --> 09:09.265
On the last ball of the over,
Ravi <i>bhaiya</i> came over to me saying,

09:09.345 --> 09:10.825
"Well left!" I said, "I never saw it."

09:11.945 --> 09:13.945
I'm serious. They bowled so fast!

09:14.025 --> 09:15.905
And the helmet-- David Lawrence.

09:16.465 --> 09:19.105
When we first played,
he was our Under-19 captain.

09:19.185 --> 09:21.585
Man, I blew my entire tour allowance

09:22.145 --> 09:24.345
on a helmet.

09:24.425 --> 09:28.185
I thought, "Man, will my parents ever
see me alive again? With these…"

09:28.265 --> 09:30.585
6'9" guys, as you mentioned.

09:30.665 --> 09:33.225
Back then, this man…

09:33.305 --> 09:34.785
without a helmet…

09:34.865 --> 09:37.265
facing 150-kilometer-per-hour bowling.

09:37.345 --> 09:38.745
Incredible!

09:41.505 --> 09:42.665
So I asked him,

09:42.745 --> 09:46.785
"Sunny <i>bhai,</i>
how do you play without a helmet?

09:46.865 --> 09:48.145
- Our protective gear--"
- Want to know?

09:48.225 --> 09:49.465
- What?
- Want to know why?

09:49.545 --> 09:50.545
Yes.

09:50.625 --> 09:51.705
Because there was nothing in here!

09:54.185 --> 09:55.425
So why bother wearing a helmet!

09:56.985 --> 09:59.585
He's just being totally modest.

09:59.665 --> 10:01.145
He may look innocent,

10:01.225 --> 10:04.505
but let me tell you, he's deep enough
to contain an entire ocean.

10:05.145 --> 10:06.225
Wow.

10:07.025 --> 10:09.265
- I mean it.
- Where on earth did you find this guy?

10:10.465 --> 10:13.905
His father-- You wouldn't know this.

10:13.985 --> 10:17.905
- 6'4", dressed in a Pathani suit.
- Yes. Absolutely.

10:17.985 --> 10:19.825
He came into our Jalandhar dressing room.

10:19.905 --> 10:23.505
He came up to me
because I was captain and said,

10:24.145 --> 10:27.945
"Ravi, son, look after my boy."

10:28.545 --> 10:30.265
I said, "Care for him? Look at him now!"

10:32.105 --> 10:33.505
Care?

10:34.905 --> 10:36.225
Now listen to what Ravi <i>bhaiya</i> did.

10:36.305 --> 10:39.505
Look, I got picked for India
when I was 18.

10:40.345 --> 10:41.185
Right?

10:41.265 --> 10:42.905
We had no single rooms then.

10:42.985 --> 10:44.425
We always had roommates.

10:45.105 --> 10:47.545
- And my roommate was Ravi Shastri.
- Okay.

10:48.305 --> 10:50.065
I went in full of hope, thinking,
"My captain--"

10:50.145 --> 10:51.745
Hey, wait, wait!

10:55.745 --> 10:57.025
Let it out!

10:57.105 --> 11:01.145
So I thought, "Man, my roommate
is Ravi Shastri."

11:01.225 --> 11:04.625
I walked into the room, and there was
an older lady sitting inside.

11:04.705 --> 11:06.345
- What are you saying?
- Yeah!

11:07.865 --> 11:10.385
She was sitting there, so I greeted her.

11:10.465 --> 11:13.825
Ravi <i>bhaiya</i> said,
"Why don't you go for a little walk?"

11:13.905 --> 11:17.145
I went to the corridor, paced up and down,

11:17.225 --> 11:18.985
and wandered for a couple of hours.

11:19.065 --> 11:21.785
Forget batting,
I was exhausted right there!

11:21.865 --> 11:23.425
Two hours later, I returned,

11:23.505 --> 11:24.945
and a young woman was inside!

11:25.025 --> 11:28.625
The old lady left, and now there was
a girl in there. She said to me…

11:28.705 --> 11:31.265
"Hi!" And Ravi <i>bhaiya</i> was gesturing…

11:31.345 --> 11:32.385
So I said, "Bye!"

11:35.385 --> 11:37.225
- Look, brother. Listen.
- Yeah.

11:37.305 --> 11:40.585
You know, back then,
it was his first Test match.

11:40.665 --> 11:42.145
- Yeah.
- So I had to train him.

11:43.585 --> 11:45.865
And cricket had a rest day back then.

11:46.465 --> 11:48.985
So the first few days,
when you're on the field,

11:50.025 --> 11:51.985
you use your entire body.

11:52.065 --> 11:54.105
You know, running, fielding,

11:54.185 --> 11:56.105
bowling, and batting.

11:56.185 --> 11:57.945
Now, when the rest day comes…

11:58.025 --> 12:00.665
- Yeah.
- …all of that needs a rest.

12:01.465 --> 12:03.145
And your brain too.

12:03.225 --> 12:05.865
- Right? Am I right or what?
- Absolutely right!

12:09.545 --> 12:13.305
Earlier, you mentioned Wasim Akram
and some bouncers.

12:13.385 --> 12:14.825
Was that the Pakistan tour?

12:14.905 --> 12:17.505
- Pakistan, 1989…
- So, was he talking about that?

12:17.585 --> 12:18.465
- Yes, that one.
- Okay.

12:18.545 --> 12:20.985
So, on that tour, didn't Waqar Younis
get you out on the first ball?

12:21.065 --> 12:22.465
No, no, no…

12:26.025 --> 12:27.385
Now throw the cushion!

12:27.465 --> 12:32.225
Yes, in that innings,
Sachin Tendulkar got hit on the nose…

12:32.305 --> 12:35.465
- Hey, I'm talking about you!
- I'm telling it.

12:35.545 --> 12:37.025
He got hit on the nose.

12:37.105 --> 12:38.345
He got out in that mess.

12:38.425 --> 12:41.825
And through the pain,
he scored 56 not out, and then…

12:41.905 --> 12:44.025
Sidhu was 97 not out!

12:44.105 --> 12:45.185
Oh, man!

12:48.385 --> 12:50.585
First, about what Sidhu <i>paaji</i> was saying.

12:50.665 --> 12:54.545
Sunny sir faced some
really dangerous bowlers without a helmet.

12:54.625 --> 12:55.905
Let me first show you

12:55.985 --> 13:00.185
what that West Indies team looked like.
Show us the picture.

13:01.545 --> 13:02.945
- Oh, man!
- Oh, wow!

13:03.025 --> 13:05.905
That's Joel Garner, isn't it?

13:05.985 --> 13:07.545
- 6'8". Yeah.
- Right?

13:07.625 --> 13:09.945
His bicep was as thick as my thigh!

13:11.345 --> 13:14.265
Look at their lethal bowlers!

13:14.345 --> 13:16.785
Wicket or not,
they looked ready to take your life!

13:18.985 --> 13:21.145
And against such lethal players,

13:21.225 --> 13:23.705
- Sunny sir went in with no helmet.
- True!

13:23.785 --> 13:26.025
Without a bat in hand,
you'd have a heart attack.

13:26.105 --> 13:28.945
Sunny sir, why take such big risks?

13:29.025 --> 13:32.065
Because playing for India

13:32.665 --> 13:34.705
is a huge privilege, a great honor.

13:35.345 --> 13:37.425
You should be ready
to give your life for it.

13:37.505 --> 13:38.505
Wow.

13:42.825 --> 13:45.785
That's the spirit! One that…

13:45.865 --> 13:48.545
A heart devoid of passion,
where no deep emotion flows,

13:48.625 --> 13:50.385
is nothing but a stone,

13:50.465 --> 13:52.145
if love for India never grows.

13:52.225 --> 13:54.145
Oh, brilliant! Wow!

13:56.145 --> 13:58.985
Sidhu <i>paaji,</i> when were
helmets introduced in cricket?

13:59.065 --> 14:00.825
In 1974, I think.

14:00.905 --> 14:02.425
- 1977.
- Right, '77.

14:02.505 --> 14:04.185
And when did the L-guard arrive?

14:04.265 --> 14:07.265
- 1877.
- 1874. Helmets came 100 years later.

14:07.345 --> 14:11.105
It took men 100 years to realize,
"Hey, the brain matters too."

14:18.185 --> 14:20.145
When people play cricket,

14:20.225 --> 14:22.505
some play right-handed, some left-handed.

14:22.585 --> 14:25.585
Ravi sir is the only player
who cashed in with both hands.

14:25.665 --> 14:28.305
He batted right-handed
and bowled left-handed.

14:28.825 --> 14:30.905
Yet, sir, you retired at the age of 30.

14:30.985 --> 14:32.505
Why so early?

14:33.225 --> 14:36.065
Because I got a bad injury in Australia.

14:36.145 --> 14:38.385
- Okay.
- And I had a knee issue.

14:38.905 --> 14:42.465
Back then, with physiotherapy and surgery,

14:42.545 --> 14:45.345
- it took a long time with no guarantee…
- I see.

14:45.425 --> 14:48.105
…that you'd even walk fine. So…

14:48.825 --> 14:50.505
I tried for two more years,

14:50.585 --> 14:51.985
but it happened again.

14:52.065 --> 14:53.065
Then I thought,

14:53.145 --> 14:55.745
"I can't play at the level I want to."

14:56.665 --> 14:58.385
And that was the highest level.

14:58.945 --> 15:02.065
I thought, "I'm not here to waste my time
at such a low level."

15:02.625 --> 15:05.425
- Play at the top, or get the hell out.
- Wow.

15:05.505 --> 15:07.785
And back then, TV broadcasting took off.

15:08.625 --> 15:10.665
So I stepped in as a commentator.

15:14.505 --> 15:18.065
Sunny sir, as Ravi sir said,
your form was always incredible.

15:18.945 --> 15:22.185
You played till 38, though you
could have played two more years.

15:22.265 --> 15:25.305
Did you think, "I'm married now,
my loans are paid off, so I'm done"?

15:25.385 --> 15:28.625
Absolutely. We'd been
married some 15 years.

15:28.705 --> 15:31.465
- I see.
- And I'd bought a new house.

15:31.545 --> 15:35.705
Best of all, I was still scoring runs,

15:35.785 --> 15:38.385
and the pure joy
of being on the cricket field--

15:38.465 --> 15:40.585
Like while fielding, I'd notice--

15:40.665 --> 15:42.305
I used to love fielding, too.

15:42.385 --> 15:44.105
But then I noticed that--

15:44.185 --> 15:48.145
I'd look at the clock on the ground
during a Test match,

15:48.225 --> 15:50.585
and I'd catch myself thinking,

15:51.105 --> 15:53.185
"Fifteen more minutes until tea."

15:53.265 --> 15:56.865
"Just ten more minutes until stumps."

15:56.945 --> 16:00.585
When thoughts like that
crept into my mind,

16:00.665 --> 16:05.065
I realized that
the joy of being on the field was fading.

16:05.145 --> 16:08.625
So I thought it was best
to leave the game.

16:08.705 --> 16:10.865
We loved watching you play, sir.

16:10.945 --> 16:12.145
Thank you for that.

16:13.945 --> 16:16.545
Come, sir, let's talk. Please have a seat.

16:17.265 --> 16:18.625
Sidhu <i>paaji,</i> you want this?

16:21.705 --> 16:22.745
Oh, catch!

16:28.025 --> 16:30.585
You know, Ravi sir is a true all-rounder.

16:30.665 --> 16:34.145
He bowled, he batted, he was the captain,

16:34.225 --> 16:36.385
gave pitch reports, hosted the toss,

16:36.465 --> 16:39.865
and he's there at the awards after.

16:39.945 --> 16:42.625
Someone said if you get dry wood,
you'd carve a bat out of it.

16:44.625 --> 16:48.345
Sir, you've done everything in cricket
except umpiring.

16:48.425 --> 16:51.825
Do you hate standing in the sun,
or hate pointing fingers?

16:51.905 --> 16:53.625
Why haven't you ever umpired?

16:54.225 --> 16:56.865
- I don't like pointing fingers.
- I see.

16:59.465 --> 17:02.625
- No, it's the hardest job.
- Is it?

17:02.705 --> 17:06.225
And… umpires always get criticized,

17:06.305 --> 17:09.305
but it's an extremely tough job.

17:09.865 --> 17:13.145
You must stand for six hours,
just like you said.

17:13.224 --> 17:16.825
Concentrating for six hours
is no easy task.

17:17.545 --> 17:20.745
So, I think they deserve credit.

17:20.825 --> 17:23.545
There will be criticism
if there's a bad call.

17:23.625 --> 17:25.785
But remember they're human.

17:25.865 --> 17:27.825
- You're right.
- They're bound to make mistakes.

17:27.905 --> 17:30.464
Nowadays, we have DRS.

17:30.545 --> 17:32.065
- I mean--
- Look at what Ravi <i>bhaiya's</i> saying.

17:32.145 --> 17:33.785
It's a huge deal…

17:34.305 --> 17:37.145
An umpire makes a decision
in a split second.

17:37.225 --> 17:38.985
Then, that split-second call

17:39.065 --> 17:41.505
is reviewed by 100 machines on replay.

17:42.225 --> 17:46.185
Today, in that one second,
an umpire can't rival a machine.

17:46.265 --> 17:48.745
So even if umpires matter less now,

17:48.825 --> 17:51.705
they still deserve their due credit,

17:51.785 --> 17:55.945
because their judgment
is like that of a supreme judge,

17:56.025 --> 17:58.905
and their verdict is the ultimate one.

18:00.745 --> 18:02.585
Sir, Archana <i>ji</i> had a question.

18:02.665 --> 18:06.625
She says players in the IPL
go for millions.

18:07.145 --> 18:08.665
Right? There was no IPL in your day.

18:08.745 --> 18:11.905
Do you ever wonder
if there was IPL back then,

18:11.985 --> 18:13.705
we'd have a few more flats in Juhu?

18:13.785 --> 18:15.865
Definitely! That's very true!

18:15.945 --> 18:18.665
- She had another question I skipped.
- What?

18:18.745 --> 18:20.025
She asked, "When you hear news

18:20.105 --> 18:22.825
of Virat Kohli's 80-crore flat
in Gurugram,

18:22.905 --> 18:23.865
do you pull your hair out?"

18:23.945 --> 18:25.185
She wants to know.

18:29.225 --> 18:31.505
The best thing is that today,

18:31.585 --> 18:34.025
- the money players make…
- That's great.

18:34.105 --> 18:36.025
- And deservedly so.
- Right.

18:36.105 --> 18:37.345
They deserve it.

18:37.425 --> 18:40.825
Because there's so much pressure
and focus,

18:40.905 --> 18:44.825
and cricket has massive viewership,

18:44.905 --> 18:46.465
- especially for the IPL.
- Right.

18:46.545 --> 18:49.665
You know, the matches are broadcast
in over 200 countries.

18:50.385 --> 18:55.345
Based on the sport's popularity, you know,

18:55.865 --> 18:57.105
players should get their due.

18:57.745 --> 18:58.825
So, I'm really happy.

18:58.905 --> 19:02.145
Because in our time,
there wasn't much money,

19:02.225 --> 19:04.785
but the respect we got
for playing for our country,

19:04.865 --> 19:08.185
- Yeah.
- and the memories from back then

19:08.265 --> 19:09.785
- are paying off today.
- Absolutely.

19:09.865 --> 19:12.425
Whether in commentary or anything else.

19:12.505 --> 19:13.985
- Yes.
- It's great.

19:14.065 --> 19:17.065
Let me tell you something
about what Ravi <i>bhaiya's</i> saying.

19:17.145 --> 19:20.465
The IPL is Indian cricket's pride,
its crowning glory.

19:20.545 --> 19:24.385
Ask them. Back then, in the summer,
us Indians used to go

19:24.465 --> 19:27.105
to England and play for Lancashire.

19:27.185 --> 19:28.865
- Ravi <i>bhaiya,</i> which county?
- Glamorgan.

19:28.945 --> 19:31.265
- Glamorgan. Which county did you play for?
- Somerset.

19:31.345 --> 19:34.345
For Somerset.
So, everyone used to visit England.

19:34.425 --> 19:37.465
Today, the whole world comes
for two months

19:37.545 --> 19:40.465
to India to play in the IPL.

19:45.985 --> 19:48.705
And you know what the IPL has done?

19:48.785 --> 19:51.825
- To the Western world…
- Right.

19:51.905 --> 19:53.585
It taught them to fall in line.

19:54.665 --> 19:57.905
Get it? Like Navjot said,

19:57.985 --> 19:59.905
we used to go to Glamorgan,
we went to England.

20:00.625 --> 20:02.625
Back then, if they were

20:02.705 --> 20:04.665
invited to our side, they'd say,

20:04.745 --> 20:06.625
"No, no, no, the food isn't good.

20:06.705 --> 20:09.225
It upsets our stomach.
There are roaches in the room.

20:10.305 --> 20:12.305
Lizards crawling around everywhere.

20:12.385 --> 20:14.025
We don't want to come to India."

20:14.105 --> 20:15.985
Now that they see the cream…

20:16.065 --> 20:17.305
No upset stomachs now!

20:17.385 --> 20:18.665
Everything's great now!

20:19.505 --> 20:22.145
"Everything's fine, we'll eat it all!"

20:22.745 --> 20:24.865
"We'll come. <i>Namaskar!"</i>

20:28.225 --> 20:30.345
I have to ask, sir,
like we've been hearing about Ravi sir,

20:30.425 --> 20:33.385
and Sidhu <i>paaji</i> told tales.
We never heard you had an affair.

20:34.345 --> 20:37.105
Were you that innocent, or were
you sneaking off with a helmet on?

20:43.785 --> 20:46.345
Look, brother, I never wore a helmet.

20:46.425 --> 20:48.105
- Right.
- I only wore a skullcap.

20:48.185 --> 20:53.945
And even with a skullcap, there was
a risk. If the ball hit it…

20:54.025 --> 20:55.585
- Yeah.
- I'd be a goner.

20:56.625 --> 20:59.945
So neither a helmet nor a skullcap.

21:00.025 --> 21:02.985
My only affair was with cricket.

21:03.065 --> 21:04.945
Oh, wow! Beautiful!

21:06.505 --> 21:09.705
But, Kapil, I'd like to say something.

21:10.265 --> 21:14.145
Girls were so crazy about Sunil.
Sunny, you.

21:14.225 --> 21:18.945
We were playing
in a pro-celebrity match tournament.

21:19.025 --> 21:20.185
- Remember, Sunny?
- Yes, yes.

21:20.265 --> 21:22.505
Sachin was my partner.

21:22.585 --> 21:24.465
And Sunny, who was yours?

21:26.025 --> 21:27.865
He doesn't even remember! Anyway…

21:27.945 --> 21:31.225
A very beautiful, gorgeous actress,

21:31.865 --> 21:34.305
and she was crazy about Sunny!

21:34.385 --> 21:36.265
Sunny kept running ahead,

21:36.345 --> 21:38.545
and she ran right behind him! I remember!

21:38.625 --> 21:41.585
Sunny sir must be thinking,
"Why didn't you tell me back then?"

21:45.985 --> 21:47.705
- Yes…
- Now do you remember, Sunny?

21:47.785 --> 21:52.545
Yes, because I had to tell her
that to take a run,

21:52.625 --> 21:55.865
she had to go to the other end,
not follow me!

21:57.505 --> 22:01.225
Or else, either she'd get run out
or I would!

22:01.305 --> 22:03.625
- Yeah.
- Who… who was it?

22:04.665 --> 22:06.625
- I can't recall.
- If I tell you, she'll come after me.

22:06.705 --> 22:09.465
Man, who says Sunny doesn't fall in love?

22:09.545 --> 22:11.145
- People just never suspect him!
- No, no.

22:12.985 --> 22:14.145
Archana!

22:14.225 --> 22:18.105
- People don't suspect him!
- When she was running after Sunny,

22:18.185 --> 22:20.385
he was giving her directions
on where to meet!

22:21.025 --> 22:21.905
"Follow me!"

22:21.985 --> 22:24.825
And look, I'm not talking about Sunny,

22:24.905 --> 22:29.025
but in cricket,
there are plenty of dark horses.

22:30.265 --> 22:32.305
They do their thing,

22:32.385 --> 22:34.945
but then point fingers at others,

22:35.025 --> 22:37.065
not realizing three of them
are pointing back at them.

22:37.145 --> 22:39.505
- Ravi, are you pointing at him?
- No, no.

22:39.585 --> 22:41.145
- Yeah, of course!
- The dark horse!

22:41.225 --> 22:42.465
- No, no, no!
- The dark horse!

22:42.545 --> 22:43.785
Are you trying to get me divorced?

22:47.505 --> 22:50.105
Well, have you all ever noticed

22:50.185 --> 22:52.785
how during most
of the iconic moments of our time,

22:53.465 --> 22:54.825
it's always Ravi sir commentating?

22:54.905 --> 22:56.745
Whether it was Yuvraj Singh's six sixes,

22:56.825 --> 22:59.705
or the World Cup-winning shot
in 2007 or 2011.

22:59.785 --> 23:02.985
Is it a coincidence, or do you snatch
the mic and shout, "What a shot!"

23:03.065 --> 23:04.745
- No…
- You're…

23:04.825 --> 23:07.185
It's pure luck, I have to say,

23:07.265 --> 23:09.985
because there were
some unforgettable moments,

23:10.065 --> 23:12.105
- like Yuvi's six sixes,
- Yes.

23:12.185 --> 23:13.745
Dhoni's World Cup-winning six,

23:13.825 --> 23:16.465
and most games we've won.

23:16.545 --> 23:19.665
That's not in our hands,

23:19.745 --> 23:22.265
So I think I've just been lucky.

23:22.345 --> 23:26.705
But we do have a few former cricketers
turned commentators

23:26.785 --> 23:30.745
who, when a batsman is on 98 or 99 runs--

23:31.345 --> 23:32.985
We have two mics set up usually.

23:33.585 --> 23:36.785
They snatch the mic
and go, "He's got 100!"

23:38.545 --> 23:39.545
He does worse!

23:40.185 --> 23:42.585
- Sunny <i>bhai,</i> you mean…
- I won't name names.

23:42.665 --> 23:44.545
- Sunny <i>bhai…</i>
- I won't name names.

23:44.625 --> 23:47.065
- I won't name names either.
- Yes.

23:47.145 --> 23:49.225
But you mimic one commentator really well.

23:53.225 --> 23:55.265
Come on, do your Harsha Bhogle impression!

23:55.345 --> 23:57.105
- Give it up! Let's hear it!
- Lovely!

23:58.345 --> 24:00.385
- Yes, Sunny. Come on!
- Applaud!

24:00.465 --> 24:02.865
The first time we were doing commentary,

24:03.385 --> 24:07.225
I did an impression
of Harsha in front of Sheru.

24:07.865 --> 24:10.345
Told him the way he kicks things off.

24:11.105 --> 24:13.745
Before the camera rolls,
there's a countdown…

24:13.825 --> 24:17.025
"Ten, nine, eight, seven, six…"
then the cue.

24:17.105 --> 24:20.385
So Harsha looked at the camera and went…

24:21.145 --> 24:22.425
"Yes, good morning!"

24:24.305 --> 24:27.065
The moment he did that,

24:27.145 --> 24:29.625
Sheru cracked up and slid under the table!

24:29.705 --> 24:31.425
And I was right down there with him!

24:32.465 --> 24:34.305
- And that was his very first…
- No commentary came through.

24:34.385 --> 24:37.385
- The guy just stood there…
- That was his first day of commentary!

24:38.345 --> 24:40.305
So after that, I always…

24:42.825 --> 24:43.985
"Good morning!"

24:46.625 --> 24:49.465
If you listen to Sunny sir commentate--

24:50.185 --> 24:51.665
He's such a formidable batsman

24:51.745 --> 24:56.705
that when someone throws their wicket,
he gets furious.

24:56.785 --> 24:57.945
"So stupid! What was that?"

24:58.785 --> 25:00.705
- I wanted to ask you, Sunny sir…
- Yes.

25:00.785 --> 25:04.425
The players get paid by the BCCI.

25:04.905 --> 25:07.665
It's not like you paid them
a few lakh rupees to play.

25:08.305 --> 25:12.385
And if they get out,
it's not coming out of your pocket.

25:12.465 --> 25:13.905
- Right?
- Yes.

25:13.985 --> 25:15.665
So, why take it so personally?

25:15.745 --> 25:17.185
Because he's playing for our nation,

25:17.265 --> 25:18.105
- for India!
- Yes!

25:18.185 --> 25:19.305
Yeah!

25:22.665 --> 25:26.065
Secondly, when a player has talent,

25:26.145 --> 25:31.705
can score runs, and gets out
to a shot like that, it hurts even more.

25:31.785 --> 25:34.265
- The expectations are high.
- That's why I get a bit angry.

25:34.745 --> 25:35.985
That's the thing.

25:37.065 --> 25:39.145
This is Sunny sir as a commentator.

25:39.745 --> 25:41.665
- I wonder, back when you were the captain…
- Yes.

25:41.745 --> 25:45.825
…and one of your own players got out
to a bad shot right in front of you,

25:45.905 --> 25:48.145
was "stupid" still your worst insult?

25:48.225 --> 25:51.145
Or did you mete out
some homegrown desi insults, too?

25:51.985 --> 25:54.425
Did you ever see him angry?

25:54.505 --> 25:56.505
- Oh, boy!
- Oh, he'd get furious!

25:56.585 --> 26:00.825
He had a really short temper,
you have no idea!

26:00.905 --> 26:03.225
And do you know when he'd lose it?

26:04.105 --> 26:08.105
Whenever we went for a match,
we'd be on the team bus.

26:09.025 --> 26:11.385
When getting off the bus,

26:11.465 --> 26:13.265
if there was a cameraman there

26:13.785 --> 26:16.545
and his flash went off,

26:17.425 --> 26:18.825
that was it!

26:18.905 --> 26:22.745
The camera and the guy were done for!
He'd slap him!

26:22.825 --> 26:26.025
When Sandeep Patil and I
would be in the back

26:26.105 --> 26:29.025
and spot two or three cameramen
with their flashes,

26:29.105 --> 26:30.465
I'd say, "This is going to be fun."

26:30.545 --> 26:32.145
"He's going to lose his temper."

26:32.225 --> 26:35.305
- But why the flash specifically?
- It got in his eyes.

26:35.985 --> 26:39.265
I mean, at night,
where there's no light, I get it.

26:39.345 --> 26:41.825
- You can use flash there.
- But why in daylight, though?

26:41.905 --> 26:44.265
In daylight--
Because we're going out to bat,

26:44.345 --> 26:46.185
facing fast bowling.

26:46.265 --> 26:49.985
When they used the flash,
it messed with your eyes.

26:50.065 --> 26:52.185
- How do you face fast bowling then?
- The flash blindness will persist.

26:52.265 --> 26:53.745
I've seen him get mad.

26:53.825 --> 26:58.065
If anyone blocked the sight screen
while Sunny <i>bhai</i> was batting,

26:59.225 --> 27:01.745
I'm telling you, he would curse--

27:01.825 --> 27:04.185
People would be shaken to the core.

27:04.265 --> 27:06.945
Whenever he blew up,
he blew up like a volcano!

27:07.025 --> 27:11.465
Look, Sachin Tendulkar learned
a lot from Gavaskar.

27:11.545 --> 27:15.025
He watched him growing up.
Both are masters.

27:15.825 --> 27:17.745
With this, too. Even Sachin Tendulkar.

27:17.825 --> 27:19.825
- If he saw anything blocking--
- Anything moving…

27:19.905 --> 27:22.145
- If anything moved, that was it!
- Yeah.

27:22.225 --> 27:23.745
They'd lose their minds.

27:23.825 --> 27:26.305
And the things they spot,

27:26.385 --> 27:28.705
- no one else even sees.
- I didn't either!

27:28.785 --> 27:32.545
I mean, they could spot a rat
from that far!

27:33.505 --> 27:35.345
Even if a rat moved…

27:35.945 --> 27:37.465
- "Hey! Clear it!"
- Ravi <i>bhaiya!</i>

27:37.985 --> 27:39.785
Well said!

27:39.865 --> 27:42.185
Since we're on sight screens,

27:42.265 --> 27:44.425
you know how tall Sachin and I are,

27:44.505 --> 27:45.825
and how tall he is.

27:45.905 --> 27:47.305
When we'd play like this,

27:47.865 --> 27:51.625
we saw the fast bowler
from a different angle.

27:51.705 --> 27:55.385
If someone were to block that view,
it would distract us.

27:55.465 --> 27:57.745
Now if I were as tall as him,

27:57.825 --> 28:00.745
the bowler's arm would be
covered by the sight screen.

28:00.825 --> 28:02.465
- Oh!
- So he always had a clear view.

28:02.545 --> 28:04.225
- Technical!
- It's technical.

28:04.905 --> 28:06.145
That's the difference.

28:10.865 --> 28:12.785
We hear Ravi sir also
loses his cool sometimes.

28:12.865 --> 28:14.385
I heard that when you were the coach,

28:14.465 --> 28:17.345
you scolded Mohammed Shami
over having biryani.

28:17.425 --> 28:18.785
Why? Did he steal yours?

28:21.145 --> 28:24.745
- No, the match was on the line.
- I see.

28:24.825 --> 28:27.945
South Africa needed about 100 runs,

28:28.025 --> 28:31.585
with eight wickets in hand.
The players came in at lunch.

28:31.665 --> 28:34.505
I walked in and saw them having lunch,

28:34.585 --> 28:36.945
and Shami's belly was bursting
after wolfing down so much biryani.

28:37.625 --> 28:40.345
I told the bowling coach, "Get over here."

28:40.425 --> 28:45.865
"Go tell him, 'You have to bowl,
and you ate all that biryani?'"

28:48.065 --> 28:53.105
"If he asked who wants to know,
say my name and take it away."

28:53.185 --> 28:54.465
Shami was furious.

28:54.545 --> 28:55.545
He went on to bowl

28:55.625 --> 28:58.985
and took five wickets in six overs!

28:59.065 --> 29:01.265
- Wow!
- India won the match!

29:02.825 --> 29:04.665
Back in the locker room--

29:04.745 --> 29:06.385
Bharat Arun was our bowling coach.

29:06.465 --> 29:10.385
I told him to take some nice
and hot biryani to him

29:10.465 --> 29:11.785
and say, "Shami <i>ji,</i> here you go."

29:13.145 --> 29:14.105
"You can have your fill!"

29:14.185 --> 29:16.025
And Shami's reply?

29:16.105 --> 29:19.385
"Yeah, sometimes, you have to get me mad."

29:37.225 --> 29:38.385
Donald Trump!

30:01.945 --> 30:03.945
<i>Namaste,</i> India!

30:04.665 --> 30:06.185
<i>Namaste!</i>

30:07.665 --> 30:10.025
<i>Namaste,</i> Netflix!

30:10.105 --> 30:11.625
<i>Namaste!</i>

30:11.705 --> 30:14.425
The OGs of cricket,

30:14.505 --> 30:19.585
Mr. Sunil Gavaskar!

30:19.665 --> 30:21.385
Gavaskar…

30:22.385 --> 30:26.065
Mr. Ravi Shastri!

30:28.185 --> 30:31.985
Navjot Singh Sidhu!

30:32.065 --> 30:34.105
You butchered them.

30:34.185 --> 30:36.225
And of course, I know you.

30:37.465 --> 30:40.025
Her name sounds like a snack!

30:41.585 --> 30:44.185
On the beach today,
the hawkers were yelling,

30:44.265 --> 30:48.465
"Archana Puran Singh!
Archana Puran Singh!"

30:49.865 --> 30:51.945
"Archana Puran--" I know you.

30:53.025 --> 30:54.625
- Sir…
- I know you.

30:54.705 --> 30:56.985
- Sir--
- No more questions. Get out!

30:57.065 --> 30:58.585
We didn't ask you anything yet!

30:58.665 --> 31:00.985
What country's president are you?

31:01.065 --> 31:02.385
No, sir, I'm just a reporter.

31:02.465 --> 31:04.705
Then don't get so comfortable! Scram!

31:05.625 --> 31:07.105
Get lost!

31:11.625 --> 31:14.465
- You know, I have a cricket team.
- Okay.

31:14.545 --> 31:17.105
And I need a coach for it.

31:17.185 --> 31:18.025
- I see.
- Okay.

31:18.105 --> 31:21.665
- So I'm here to buy a coach. Yes.
- Okay.

31:22.265 --> 31:24.185
So, what's your best price?

31:25.825 --> 31:28.065
Give me a good deal.

31:29.505 --> 31:31.745
And I'll come back to you again.

31:31.825 --> 31:32.905
Don't worry.

31:32.985 --> 31:35.665
Did you forget to switch
your brain to roaming?

31:35.745 --> 31:38.025
- That's not how it works.
- Why not?

31:39.145 --> 31:41.585
- I learned another thing in India.
- What?

31:46.585 --> 31:47.585
What's this?

31:47.665 --> 31:49.865
- Take off your clothes.
- Why?

31:51.025 --> 31:52.065
Why take off clothes?

31:52.145 --> 31:55.505
Don't get me wrong. Open the briefcase.

31:56.105 --> 31:57.305
I want to butter you up.

31:58.305 --> 31:59.185
What do you mean?

31:59.265 --> 32:02.505
I heard that to win someone over in India,

32:02.585 --> 32:04.225
you have to butter them up.

32:05.745 --> 32:07.705
That's an idiom.
You don't use actual butter.

32:07.785 --> 32:09.905
- This doesn't work?
- Nope.

32:11.905 --> 32:14.745
You wasted butter worth 250 rupees
for a two-bit punchline!

32:16.145 --> 32:18.065
This is going to be tough.

32:18.145 --> 32:21.065
Putin already gave us some from Russia.

32:21.145 --> 32:22.465
- Really?
- Yes.

32:22.545 --> 32:25.505
Then I'll invite someone bigger
to the stage.

32:27.305 --> 32:28.425
Hello!

32:28.505 --> 32:29.905
Yeah, my friend.

32:30.545 --> 32:31.825
Plan A flopped.

32:31.905 --> 32:34.265
Yes, come fast for Plan B.

32:34.345 --> 32:36.025
I'm waiting, man. Come.

32:54.985 --> 32:56.105
Doland!

32:56.185 --> 32:59.225
- Doland!
- Doland, Doland, Doland!

32:59.305 --> 33:02.105
Tell me, did they agree or not?

33:02.185 --> 33:04.425
No, they are stubborn.

33:04.505 --> 33:06.345
Plan B!

33:07.185 --> 33:09.385
I'll execute Plan B,

33:10.185 --> 33:13.665
but once Plan B starts,
I won't be able to stop it.

33:13.745 --> 33:14.905
Will you do?

33:14.985 --> 33:16.785
- Are you ready?
- Yes!

33:23.025 --> 33:24.985
What a weak soldier!

33:25.985 --> 33:28.145
- Are you ready?!
- Yes!

33:28.225 --> 33:29.385
That's how you say it.

33:30.185 --> 33:32.425
You've heard people say,

33:33.065 --> 33:35.665
"Soft words butter no parsnips."

33:36.585 --> 33:40.305
I need to take action.

33:41.065 --> 33:43.785
Please be our coach, for God's sake!

33:46.345 --> 33:50.745
Please, for the love of God,
become our coach!

33:50.825 --> 33:52.865
You'll be prosperous by God's grace!

33:52.945 --> 33:55.305
Yes, you'll be prosperous by God's grace!

33:56.385 --> 33:58.545
You'll get so many blessings.

33:58.625 --> 34:00.945
You'll get so many blessings!

34:01.025 --> 34:03.305
- May your busi--
- Wait a minute!

34:04.865 --> 34:06.145
You also need a coach, don't you?

34:06.225 --> 34:08.105
Then you ask! Why make me do it?

34:08.185 --> 34:11.225
Doing all this doesn't look great on me.
Suits you, though.

34:11.945 --> 34:12.865
Carry on.

34:13.824 --> 34:14.665
Wait a minute!

34:16.744 --> 34:19.545
Doland! Wait a second. Hold on.

34:20.505 --> 34:21.385
Here!

34:22.065 --> 34:24.665
You won't believe this. Look!

34:24.744 --> 34:27.665
I even brought you some <i>papad!</i>

34:28.665 --> 34:31.505
Wait… why did you bring <i>papad?</i>

34:31.585 --> 34:32.985
Didn't you say

34:33.065 --> 34:36.145
we'll need to roll out a lot of <i>papads</i>
to convince them?

34:39.105 --> 34:40.625
You idiot!

34:41.185 --> 34:42.744
It's an idiom!

34:43.545 --> 34:47.105
Buttering someone up doesn't mean

34:47.185 --> 34:48.865
you literally smear butter on them!

34:48.945 --> 34:51.225
Oh, right!

34:51.304 --> 34:53.625
Well, I know that one's an idiom.

34:54.425 --> 34:59.304
Only an idiot would actually bring butter
to butter someone up!

35:04.745 --> 35:07.785
Talk about the head coach position.
It's very important.

35:07.865 --> 35:08.705
Then do it!

35:08.785 --> 35:11.145
I think we should sit and talk this out.

35:11.225 --> 35:12.665
Let's do this.

35:12.745 --> 35:16.105
I'll sit on Ravi Shastri,
and you sit on Sunil Gavaskar.

35:18.705 --> 35:21.505
- You fool, not "on" them!
- So?

35:21.585 --> 35:25.025
We need to sit with them and talk.
Come on, man!

35:25.105 --> 35:26.465
Sit with them?

35:26.545 --> 35:28.385
- Should we order some food?
- Sure.

35:28.465 --> 35:32.065
Our Korean Hyderabadi biryani
is quite popular.

35:34.545 --> 35:36.545
Should I order Korean Hyderabadi biryani?

35:36.625 --> 35:38.385
- Order it.
- You'll eat too, right?

35:38.465 --> 35:40.065
I will, but wait.

35:40.145 --> 35:44.025
I want only the rice
and gravy for me, no pieces.

35:44.105 --> 35:46.105
- Why no pieces?
- Because, you know,

35:46.185 --> 35:48.425
I don't like peace!

35:53.745 --> 35:56.185
- Wow!
- Yes!

35:56.265 --> 35:58.465
By that logic,

35:58.545 --> 36:01.385
I should order double <i>raita</i> for you,

36:01.465 --> 36:05.065
since you love making a mess!

36:10.985 --> 36:12.185
I think…

36:13.025 --> 36:16.785
it's our rich faces
that won't melt their hearts.

36:16.865 --> 36:19.825
- No?
- Call some poor people.

36:19.905 --> 36:21.985
Yeah, that can be done.

36:22.065 --> 36:24.585
You haven't met my cricket team yet.

36:24.665 --> 36:26.905
Hey! Team, come in!

36:35.585 --> 36:38.545
Sir, as you can see, here's…

36:39.185 --> 36:40.425
Bless you, bless you, bless you.

36:41.185 --> 36:44.625
These poor, sad folks are my team.

36:44.705 --> 36:46.705
Sad because they don't have a coach.

36:46.785 --> 36:48.265
And Ravi <i>ji,</i>

36:48.345 --> 36:50.625
once you've trained them,

36:50.705 --> 36:53.345
I'll take classical music lessons
from you.

36:54.945 --> 36:56.345
Classical music from him?

36:56.425 --> 36:58.185
Well, he's Ravi Shastri.

36:58.265 --> 37:01.665
Whatever music he teaches
would be classical music!

37:07.385 --> 37:09.065
Sir, I've seen

37:09.145 --> 37:12.825
that you've trained the likes
of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma,

37:12.905 --> 37:14.065
so do one thing, sir.

37:14.145 --> 37:19.025
Just add a little pinch
of Virat Kohli into this player.

37:19.865 --> 37:22.425
And toss in a little bit
of Rohit Sharma too.

37:22.505 --> 37:23.825
You got Bumrah too, right?

37:24.505 --> 37:26.505
Bumrah? Okay, do this.

37:26.585 --> 37:30.025
Just sprinkle a little Bumrah
on top of everyone.

37:30.745 --> 37:33.625
You need to make them players, not snacks!

37:33.705 --> 37:36.865
"A pinch of this, a pinch of that!"

37:37.545 --> 37:41.105
Tell them
about your players' capabilities!

37:41.185 --> 37:43.945
Sir, do you doubt
my players' capabilities?

37:44.025 --> 37:45.745
- Yes.
- Look at these two.

37:45.825 --> 37:48.545
These are my opening batsmen.

37:48.625 --> 37:50.985
Him? He's my team's bowler.

37:51.625 --> 37:54.025
This is my team's wicketkeeper.

37:54.105 --> 37:55.385
There you go!

37:55.465 --> 37:57.025
Wait a second, who's that?

37:57.105 --> 37:58.745
Oh, him! Come here, come here.

37:59.625 --> 38:02.065
He's my team's umpire.

38:03.785 --> 38:05.065
You dimwit!

38:06.425 --> 38:09.345
An umpire isn't on the team.
He's an official.

38:10.145 --> 38:11.145
Yes.

38:16.465 --> 38:17.305
Sir, really?

38:17.945 --> 38:19.825
A team doesn't have its own umpire?

38:21.425 --> 38:23.825
- So this player is wasted?
- Obviously!

38:26.185 --> 38:27.465
Oh, God!

38:30.505 --> 38:31.585
Come here.

38:36.785 --> 38:37.905
Oh, my God.

38:37.985 --> 38:39.945
You shot your own player?

38:40.025 --> 38:42.745
The player who got shot
isn't saying a word.

38:47.705 --> 38:49.385
He's just lying there!

38:49.465 --> 38:50.945
What's your problem?

38:51.785 --> 38:52.985
Don't worry, sir.

38:53.065 --> 38:56.705
Now let me introduce our team's batsman.
Come on!

38:57.345 --> 39:00.025
He's our team's number one batsman.

39:00.105 --> 39:01.505
Just one problem, sir.

39:01.585 --> 39:04.105
- What?
- Both his legs are fake.

39:05.465 --> 39:08.265
If they're fake, how will he run?

39:08.345 --> 39:09.625
He won't be able to play cricket!

39:09.705 --> 39:12.025
- He can't play?
- Yeah! How will he play?

39:12.865 --> 39:15.105
- So he's a waste too?
- Yes.

39:15.185 --> 39:16.625
Come here.

39:18.505 --> 39:20.985
Oh, God!

39:21.065 --> 39:23.225
Hey! Hey!

39:23.305 --> 39:25.465
Dying is fine,
but at least keep some distance!

39:26.745 --> 39:28.385
He's sleeping. He's sleeping.

39:29.625 --> 39:30.625
Hey!

39:33.305 --> 39:35.305
Dead bodies don't move!

39:36.905 --> 39:37.825
Lie like this!

39:41.465 --> 39:42.745
No, no…

39:44.305 --> 39:46.225
I'll introduce my next player.

39:46.305 --> 39:48.265
This is our bowler.

39:48.345 --> 39:49.705
Sir, I'm the bowler.

39:49.785 --> 39:51.025
Then why did you step forward?

39:58.065 --> 40:00.665
Dying is fine, but learn how to fall!

40:01.665 --> 40:02.705
It's fine.

40:02.785 --> 40:04.065
So, you're the bowler.

40:05.225 --> 40:06.865
Now show everyone some bowling.

40:06.945 --> 40:09.585
Sir, you killed both batsmen.

40:09.665 --> 40:10.745
Who do I bowl to?

40:10.825 --> 40:12.865
- So he's a waste too?
- Yes.

40:21.545 --> 40:22.385
Hey!

40:23.745 --> 40:25.785
Why did you shoot this guy now?

40:25.865 --> 40:28.665
If everyone's dead,
what will the wicketkeeper do?

40:36.265 --> 40:37.105
Idiot!

40:41.505 --> 40:44.225
Why are all my players on vibration mode?

40:46.065 --> 40:49.185
Wait, you killed everyone?

40:49.265 --> 40:50.585
What happens now?

40:52.625 --> 40:53.945
There's one bullet left.

40:58.785 --> 41:01.025
- No, no! Listen!
- Let go!

41:01.105 --> 41:03.225
Hey, get up! Get up!

41:03.305 --> 41:05.985
Catch him! Catch him! Catch him!

41:07.425 --> 41:10.065
And you all can catch me. Go on.

41:10.145 --> 41:11.225
Okay, I'll see you.

41:17.905 --> 41:20.305
Now, everyone in our country
loves cricket,

41:20.385 --> 41:21.985
but let's go the other way.

41:22.785 --> 41:26.185
Do we have anybody here

41:26.265 --> 41:28.145
who has problems because of cricket?

41:29.105 --> 41:30.305
Yes, ma'am. Hello, <i>namaste.</i>

41:30.385 --> 41:31.865
- Hello, Kapil sir. Hello, Sunil sir.
- How are you?

41:31.945 --> 41:33.985
Good. I'm Suprita.

41:34.065 --> 41:35.185
Hello, Suprita <i>ji.</i>

41:35.265 --> 41:37.505
No hard feelings toward cricket,

41:37.585 --> 41:40.345
- but I have a problem with it.
- What?

41:40.425 --> 41:43.545
It's my husband and my son.

41:43.625 --> 41:45.945
They're both crazy about cricket.

41:46.025 --> 41:47.905
- Here's a story.
- Yes.

41:47.985 --> 41:49.305
My son had an exam the next day.

41:49.385 --> 41:53.505
The IPL was on,
and my husband turned it on full volume.

41:53.585 --> 41:55.785
So he wasn't studying all day,
and I kept pestering him.

41:55.865 --> 41:58.185
It was getting late,
and he still hadn't studied.

41:58.265 --> 41:59.865
So I lost it.

41:59.945 --> 42:01.905
So, he took a nice beating from me.

42:01.985 --> 42:03.465
- The son got beaten, or his father?
- The son.

42:03.545 --> 42:04.625
I see.

42:05.305 --> 42:06.625
- My son got a beating.
- Alright.

42:06.705 --> 42:09.825
And he screamed so loudly--
I mean, from his room.

42:09.905 --> 42:10.985
The TV turned off by itself.

42:11.065 --> 42:14.865
Since that day, I realized that
if you want the TV or cricket off--

42:14.945 --> 42:16.585
- A nice thrashing.
- Yes, exactly.

42:17.825 --> 42:20.145
- So that happens.
- Is your husband here?

42:20.225 --> 42:21.145
No, not today.

42:21.225 --> 42:22.345
- Did your son come?
- No.

42:22.425 --> 42:23.585
Are both of them watching the match?

42:25.425 --> 42:27.265
- You have one son?
- Yeah, one.

42:27.345 --> 42:28.945
So, your husband started
watching cricket after that?

42:29.025 --> 42:30.545
- No, he was already into cricket.
- Okay.

42:30.625 --> 42:33.385
Well, his name--
As you said, you were named Kapil.

42:33.465 --> 42:34.425
His name is Kapil too.

42:34.505 --> 42:35.985
- Really?
- So after-- Yes.

42:36.065 --> 42:37.945
- Your husband's name?
- It's Kapil.

42:38.025 --> 42:41.185
And his nickname is Sunny,
so he's crazy about cricket.

42:41.265 --> 42:43.105
Thank you so much, ma'am!

42:43.185 --> 42:45.065
Anyone else want to share their thoughts…

42:45.145 --> 42:47.225
Give him the mic. Where are you from, sir?

42:48.105 --> 42:51.425
I've also lived in
Jalandhar, Punjab, for six months.

42:51.505 --> 42:52.865
In jail?

42:53.505 --> 42:54.745
I see!

42:54.825 --> 42:57.545
- I don't do that kind of work.
- No, no, fair enough.

42:57.625 --> 42:58.865
- I don't do--
- That's our job, right?

42:58.945 --> 43:00.105
We have to spin jokes--

43:00.185 --> 43:02.505
- They hold my check, sir. What can I do?
- No, no. It's okay.

43:02.585 --> 43:04.665
Whenever we get serious,
they corner us and say--

43:04.745 --> 43:05.745
- One thing.
- Yes, sir?

43:05.825 --> 43:08.585
There are 1.4 billion people in India,

43:09.185 --> 43:10.905
- and you--
- Those are only the registered ones.

43:10.985 --> 43:12.745
Who reported having a kid.
Many are just going at it!

43:12.825 --> 43:16.105
No, you're a fine man

43:16.185 --> 43:18.025
who makes the entire nation laugh.

43:18.105 --> 43:20.985
Even next door in Nepal and Bangladesh,
our show airs everywhere.

43:21.065 --> 43:24.305
- It might, but every Indian…
- Yes.

43:24.385 --> 43:28.145
watches the clock to see
when Kapil Sharma <i>ji's</i> show is on.

43:28.225 --> 43:30.105
They're stressed at home,

43:30.185 --> 43:33.065
but watching your show
takes their tension away.

43:33.145 --> 43:35.945
And the moment it ends,
the tension returns!

43:36.025 --> 43:39.025
- Thank you, thank you, sir!
- Thank you, Kapil <i>bhai.</i> Thank you.

43:39.105 --> 43:40.785
You said you lived
in Jalandhar for six months.

43:40.865 --> 43:43.385
I asked where you were originally from.
Where were you born?

43:43.465 --> 43:45.625
How did you manifest on Earth?

43:46.305 --> 43:47.225
No, I just meant…

43:47.305 --> 43:50.065
That's not it.
Everyone manifests on Earth.

43:50.145 --> 43:52.825
Right, but on which part
of the Earth did you manifest?

43:52.905 --> 43:55.305
The same Earth. Yours, mine, theirs.

43:55.385 --> 43:56.905
- No, I mean in India--
- It's everyone's Earth.

43:56.985 --> 43:58.945
Where in India were you born?

44:00.225 --> 44:02.785
- Oh, sir…
- I mean…

44:03.465 --> 44:04.625
Hear me out.

44:05.425 --> 44:08.865
Kapil. Kapil <i>bhai,</i> Kapil sir…

44:08.945 --> 44:10.345
- Yes.
- …this Earth belongs to all of us.

44:10.425 --> 44:12.385
- Yes, I understand, my Lord.
- It belongs to everyone.

44:12.465 --> 44:14.745
O Lord, I understand! I got it.

44:14.825 --> 44:16.145
What I'm trying to ask is,

44:17.065 --> 44:20.265
like Jammu and Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh…

44:20.345 --> 44:22.905
- Well--
- …Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh,

44:22.985 --> 44:26.065
Calicut, Madras, where are you from?

44:27.625 --> 44:29.745
I am originally from Udaipur.

44:29.825 --> 44:31.105
- Udaipur! Oh, wow!
- Yes.

44:32.745 --> 44:33.985
It's a gorgeous city.

44:34.065 --> 44:37.065
You're really interesting, sir.
It was a pleasure talking to you.

44:37.145 --> 44:38.505
Thank you. Thanks.

44:40.425 --> 44:42.785
Anyone else want to be on TV?

44:44.145 --> 44:45.465
Junior Kishore Kumar <i>sahab,</i> yes.

44:46.065 --> 44:47.225
<i>Namaste.</i>

44:48.185 --> 44:50.385
I'm Hemant Gadkari from Nagpur,

44:50.465 --> 44:53.385
and my question is for Sunny sir,

44:53.465 --> 44:55.145
because back then,

44:55.225 --> 44:58.145
he scored his only century
in a One Day International.

44:58.225 --> 45:03.385
He scored that century in just 88 balls,
making 103 runs

45:03.465 --> 45:05.265
with ten boundaries and three sixes.

45:05.865 --> 45:08.945
And India won that match,

45:09.025 --> 45:12.945
yet right after playing so well,
Sunny sir, you retired immediately

45:13.025 --> 45:14.985
and broke millions of hearts.

45:15.065 --> 45:16.945
Not 88 balls, 85 balls.

45:17.585 --> 45:20.385
- 103…
- Eighty-five balls.

45:20.465 --> 45:23.825
- And my second question is--
- At least get the answer to the first!

45:26.665 --> 45:27.745
Sir, please speak.

45:27.825 --> 45:29.665
Say what? You didn't even ask a question.

45:29.745 --> 45:33.625
Why did you break millions of hearts?
Why did you retire so early?

45:33.705 --> 45:35.385
I asked that when I walked in.

45:35.465 --> 45:38.385
He scored 103 runs,
and then just a few days later…

45:38.465 --> 45:39.385
Calm down, my Lord, calm down!

45:45.305 --> 45:46.705
Sir, my next question is that

45:46.785 --> 45:50.465
you acted
in the Marathi film <i>Savli Premachi.</i>

45:50.545 --> 45:51.625
- Oh, right!
- After that--

45:51.705 --> 45:55.185
After that, did you…
not get another movie,

45:55.265 --> 45:57.465
- or were you not interested?
- Oh, boy!

46:01.025 --> 46:02.025
Sunny sir, what's this?

46:02.745 --> 46:04.025
Another film…

46:04.105 --> 46:06.345
Seriously? I haven't seen it.
I'll definitely go watch it.

46:06.425 --> 46:08.625
- You acted in it?
- Yes, absolutely.

46:08.705 --> 46:11.105
- Wow.
- A Marathi film, <i>Savli Premachi.</i>

46:11.185 --> 46:12.025
Okay.

46:12.105 --> 46:15.465
Then <i>Maalamaal</i> in Hindi,
with Naseeruddin Shah <i>sahab.</i>

46:15.545 --> 46:17.705
- Okay.
- He was the lead in it.

46:18.425 --> 46:22.825
And my role in it was
playing Sunil Gavaskar.

46:22.905 --> 46:23.945
Okay, okay.

46:24.025 --> 46:27.065
The hardest thing is playing yourself.

46:27.145 --> 46:30.905
If someone tells me to play
Kapil Sharma, I can do it.

46:30.985 --> 46:33.825
But I can't play Sunil Gavaskar.

46:33.905 --> 46:36.065
I also heard something else
about Sunny sir.

46:36.145 --> 46:38.985
That before cricket,
you wanted to be a wrestler?

46:39.065 --> 46:40.545
Like, you thought about it?

46:40.625 --> 46:42.785
- No.
- I heard about it online.

46:42.865 --> 46:44.905
No, I was just going to watch it.

46:44.985 --> 46:46.265
- Oh, you were just a fan?
- Yes.

46:46.345 --> 46:47.905
Wild questions crossed my mind.

46:47.985 --> 46:51.985
Like, he plays cricket
without a helmet, so…

46:54.385 --> 46:56.145
I mean…

46:56.225 --> 46:57.625
Right, wrestlers don't wear them.

46:58.665 --> 47:00.745
Ravi and Sunny, both of you,
what do you think

47:00.825 --> 47:05.545
about wives and partners
being allowed to travel on tour?

47:05.625 --> 47:09.745
Is it better for cricket and cricketers,
or should they not be allowed?

47:09.825 --> 47:11.665
I started that trend.

47:11.745 --> 47:15.545
I took my wife everywhere with me,
on every single tour.

47:15.625 --> 47:16.665
I had an advantage.

47:16.745 --> 47:22.265
Back then, only the captain
and vice-captain got their own rooms.

47:22.345 --> 47:23.665
Everyone else shared rooms.

47:23.745 --> 47:28.185
When I was the vice-captain,
she could stay with me.

47:28.265 --> 47:33.185
Later, when I lost the captaincy,
I had to share rooms, too.

47:33.265 --> 47:36.305
So I would ask my roommate,

47:36.385 --> 47:38.265
"My wife is coming over,
so can you room with…"

47:38.345 --> 47:40.745
- Can you bunk with someone else?
- "Can you adjust?"

47:40.825 --> 47:43.825
He'd say, "Yes, I don't mind."
Whom did I go to next?

47:43.905 --> 47:45.665
To the fast bowlers!

47:45.745 --> 47:48.545
Why? Because all fast bowlers
on the India team…

47:48.625 --> 47:50.745
Kapil Dev, Madan Lal, Karsan Ghavri,

47:50.825 --> 47:53.425
slept on the floor, not the bed,

47:53.505 --> 47:55.225
- to protect their backs.
- For their backs.

47:55.305 --> 47:56.905
To strengthen their backs.

47:56.985 --> 47:58.105
- So…
- Wow!

47:59.465 --> 48:02.705
So their beds were free
for others to crash in.

48:02.785 --> 48:04.585
That's because you played so well.

48:04.665 --> 48:06.545
If you had someone
who gets out at zero runs

48:06.625 --> 48:08.145
but insists on bringing his wife along…

48:09.465 --> 48:12.385
the BCCI wouldn't let him!

48:12.465 --> 48:15.385
And bringing your wives along makes sense.

48:15.465 --> 48:17.865
Around a coach, getting out is still fine.

48:17.945 --> 48:20.465
But you have to save face
with your wife around.

48:20.545 --> 48:22.025
Or she'll say,
"You couldn't last two minutes?"

48:27.425 --> 48:31.225
Back in the day, you know,

48:31.305 --> 48:34.465
when players didn't bring wives
on tour with them,

48:35.185 --> 48:38.785
one of the players' wives once
called the dressing room…

48:38.865 --> 48:39.945
- Yeah?
- …and was told

48:40.025 --> 48:42.385
he had just gone in to bat.

48:42.945 --> 48:47.225
She said, "Fine, I'll hold on.
I know he'll be back after one ball."

48:51.065 --> 48:53.305
When I was coach,

48:53.385 --> 48:58.585
there was a lot of pressure
from the players to let their wives visit.

48:58.665 --> 49:04.145
So I had several talks with the board
about allowing them to.

49:04.225 --> 49:07.225
During my time, a big decision was made.

49:07.305 --> 49:09.825
Because some players had girlfriends too.

49:10.505 --> 49:13.385
Like, Virat was dating Anushka back then.

49:13.465 --> 49:18.425
Virat told me, "Ravi <i>bhai,</i> I've been away
for a long time." It was a long tour.

49:18.505 --> 49:19.585
It was a five-month tour,

49:19.665 --> 49:22.225
consisting of a Test series
and then the World Cup.

49:22.305 --> 49:24.145
He asked, "Can she come?"

49:24.225 --> 49:28.505
So then, I called Mr. Srinivasan,
the then-board president…

49:28.585 --> 49:31.945
- Okay.
- …and said, "The players need support."

49:32.465 --> 49:34.385
"Yes, she's not his wife at the moment,

49:34.465 --> 49:38.185
but, you know, everyone knows
she's his girlfriend, so allow her."

49:38.265 --> 49:39.905
"He's an important player,

49:39.985 --> 49:42.265
and he can score runs
if his head stays in the game."

49:42.345 --> 49:43.745
And she was allowed to.

49:46.105 --> 49:48.665
She was there for the Boxing Day Test.

49:50.105 --> 49:51.625
She arrived two days before Christmas.

49:52.265 --> 49:55.825
The match began on the 26th,
as you all saw,

49:55.905 --> 49:59.785
Kohli charged out like a warrior
and scored 160!

50:00.545 --> 50:03.105
And when he hit a hundred,
he kissed his bat…

50:05.385 --> 50:06.345
and pointed it to the audience.

50:07.465 --> 50:11.385
Speaking of Virat, or any other player,

50:11.465 --> 50:14.625
when their wives or girlfriends are
in the audience, and they hit a century,

50:14.705 --> 50:16.185
they point toward them.

50:16.265 --> 50:17.945
Doesn't it make you mad?
"I taught them that!"

50:19.425 --> 50:20.265
And they…

50:35.945 --> 50:38.225
Oh, my God!

50:39.385 --> 50:41.105
Oh, my God!

50:43.825 --> 50:45.705
Oh, my God!

50:45.785 --> 50:47.265
Kapil <i>paaji!</i>

50:57.825 --> 51:00.105
Lovely to see you guys here today.

51:03.705 --> 51:07.305
Wow. Whenever I see you guys together,

51:07.385 --> 51:09.265
it's like a weekend vibe.

51:09.345 --> 51:10.825
You know?

51:10.905 --> 51:12.825
Your names suggest that.

51:13.945 --> 51:14.825
You know…

51:15.465 --> 51:17.865
Sunny, Ravi, you know.

51:19.305 --> 51:22.025
In English, Sunny is Saturday,
Ravi is Sunday,

51:22.105 --> 51:25.025
so it's a weekend vibe
when you two are together.

51:29.305 --> 51:32.505
Sometimes I enjoy speaking English so much

51:32.585 --> 51:34.505
that I don't feel like speaking Hindi.

51:35.185 --> 51:37.905
How are you, Kapil?
How are things? All good?

51:37.985 --> 51:40.425
I'm good.
English with them, Punjabi with me?

51:40.505 --> 51:43.665
I'm not that selfish.
I have to think about you too.

51:46.225 --> 51:47.065
Please, have a seat.

51:47.145 --> 51:49.585
No worries.
I'll say hello over there first.

51:49.665 --> 51:51.185
- Sure, sure.
- Give me two minutes.

51:51.265 --> 51:53.105
I'll just meet them. I'll be right back.

51:53.185 --> 51:54.465
Sorry, guys. I'll just…

51:58.105 --> 51:59.985
- Archana <i>ji,</i> how are you?
- Hi.

52:00.065 --> 52:01.985
- Good to see you!
- Lovely to see you!

52:02.065 --> 52:05.305
Lovely! You got new bangs.
They look gorgeous!

52:05.385 --> 52:06.385
- Greetings, <i>paaji.</i>
- How are you?

52:06.465 --> 52:07.665
How are you, <i>paaji?</i>

52:07.745 --> 52:09.505
- My respects to you, <i>paaji.</i>
- No, <i>paaji.</i> My respects to you.

52:10.025 --> 52:11.545
My respects, <i>paaji.</i>

52:14.225 --> 52:17.985
Netflix's Sidhu <i>ji,</i>
how are you doing? All good?

52:20.345 --> 52:24.265
I see Sidhu, the commentator,
all the time,

52:24.345 --> 52:27.265
but I never see Sidhu,
the politician, these days.

52:29.385 --> 52:30.905
What are you saying?

52:31.785 --> 52:33.065
You're talking nonsense!

52:33.145 --> 52:35.825
It's not nonsense.
He isn't just one person.

52:36.905 --> 52:37.985
He's an entire group!

52:41.865 --> 52:44.345
He has many avatars.

52:44.425 --> 52:47.425
He's a meditator, a mediator,

52:47.505 --> 52:51.265
a commentator, a traveler, so many--

52:51.345 --> 52:52.425
Now he's an influencer too.

52:52.505 --> 52:54.705
- Right, right.
- So many avatars.

52:54.785 --> 52:58.865
I'd say he has 20 avatars, so all 20--

52:58.945 --> 53:00.385
Wait a minute.

53:00.465 --> 53:01.785
His 20 avatars--

53:03.265 --> 53:04.225
Wait a second.

53:04.305 --> 53:05.265
His teeth came out!

53:09.585 --> 53:12.625
He has 20 avatars, so I mean--

53:12.705 --> 53:16.225
He should have a movie made
about him called <i>Twenty Avatars.</i>

53:16.305 --> 53:18.345
- Absolutely.
- Very nice.

53:18.905 --> 53:19.945
Everything good?

53:20.025 --> 53:22.185
- Have a seat. I'll be back in two.
- Thank you.

53:27.985 --> 53:29.425
It feels so great.

53:30.305 --> 53:32.105
Everything all right, Kapil?

53:32.185 --> 53:33.265
All good, <i>paaji.</i>

53:33.345 --> 53:35.785
- Please have a seat.
- No, it's fine. All's well.

53:35.865 --> 53:39.945
See, today there's a lot of--
If you look at it on paper,

53:40.025 --> 53:42.225
- it's so confusing.
- Yes.

53:42.305 --> 53:44.305
Ravi <i>ji</i> is sitting right here.

53:44.385 --> 53:47.625
In front of him, Kapil-Sunil,

53:47.705 --> 53:50.105
and behind him, another Kapil-Sunil.

53:50.185 --> 53:51.785
It's like that classic riddle.

53:53.185 --> 53:56.745
Kapil-Sunil in front,
Kapil-Sunil behind, so how many in all?

53:56.825 --> 53:58.625
Tell us in the comments

53:59.665 --> 54:02.465
how many Kapil-Sunils there are,

54:02.545 --> 54:07.505
and post your comments
on Influencer Sidhu <i>ji's</i> Instagram.

54:10.625 --> 54:12.665
Because he posts reels every time,

54:12.745 --> 54:16.265
whether he's in them or not.
He posts whatever he likes.

54:16.345 --> 54:18.465
Shot by Ram, starring Ghanshyam,

54:18.545 --> 54:19.985
Sidhu <i>paaji</i> posted it on Instagram!

54:25.465 --> 54:28.145
Kapil <i>paaji,</i> what brings you here today?

54:28.225 --> 54:32.305
- Kapil, I love this show, man.
- Oh, thank you.

54:32.385 --> 54:33.745
I really like it.

54:34.665 --> 54:38.425
I was thinking,
how can you make it even better?

54:39.745 --> 54:42.865
You have two judges. I think
this show needs one more judge.

54:42.945 --> 54:46.465
- There's room. I saw an extra couch.
- Yeah.

54:46.545 --> 54:50.665
With another judge,
you'd get more laughter, energy, and mood.

54:50.745 --> 54:52.305
Can you recite poetry too?

54:52.385 --> 54:54.985
I've been learning a lot lately.

54:55.065 --> 54:57.905
- I even have a poetry teacher.
- Who's that?

54:57.985 --> 55:02.105
From one of his avatars, Poet Sidhu <i>ji.</i>
I learn from him.

55:02.185 --> 55:04.345
- I see.
- Yeah. If you don't mind, can I call him?

55:04.425 --> 55:07.065
- Sure, please do.
- He has so many avatars.

55:07.145 --> 55:09.985
If you don't mind, can I--
Everyone, say, "Clap it up!"

55:10.065 --> 55:11.785
Clap it up!

55:14.585 --> 55:15.465
One minute.

55:16.185 --> 55:17.585
<i>I say, press it.</i>

55:17.665 --> 55:19.505
<i>I say, press the point.</i>

55:21.545 --> 55:23.825
Oh, we got Domestic Sidhu <i>ji</i> on the line!

55:23.905 --> 55:26.545
- He's massaging his wife's feet.
- <i>Oh!</i>

55:28.025 --> 55:31.145
Sunny <i>ji,</i> Ravi <i>ji,</i> you're both here today?

55:31.225 --> 55:33.425
<i>Man, fantastic!</i>

55:33.505 --> 55:35.545
<i>Tell me, how can I help you?</i>

55:35.625 --> 55:37.745
You're already helping your wife.

55:38.745 --> 55:41.465
No, I'm working on my laptop.

55:42.145 --> 55:45.705
<i>I work only on my laptop these days.</i>

55:45.785 --> 55:47.065
Right, right.

55:47.145 --> 55:49.345
I was trying to call Poet Sidhu <i>ji,</i>

55:49.425 --> 55:51.025
- maybe it got-- Yes.
- Really?

55:51.105 --> 55:52.265
- Poet Sidhu <i>ji?</i>
- Yes.

55:52.345 --> 55:54.785
He's with the commentator today.
He needed him.

55:54.865 --> 55:56.465
- <i>Do one thing.</i>
- Yes.

55:56.545 --> 55:59.785
<i>Call number 11.</i>

55:59.865 --> 56:01.625
- <i>Call number 11, okay?</i>
- Yes.

56:01.705 --> 56:02.665
<i>Okay.</i>

56:06.905 --> 56:08.545
<i>At least wait for the call to end.</i>

56:11.745 --> 56:14.225
- Let me call number 11.
- Yes.

56:14.305 --> 56:16.305
Calling number 11…

56:23.225 --> 56:27.145
How is your poetry practice
going, Kapil <i>paaji?</i>

56:27.225 --> 56:30.505
Tell me, is your rhyming mode on?

56:31.465 --> 56:33.825
- Just keep reciting poetry!
- I…

56:33.905 --> 56:37.745
I've been writing so much poetry
under your guidance lately, <i>paaji.</i>

56:37.825 --> 56:40.545
I wrote two couplets in the shower.
Let me recite them for you.

56:40.625 --> 56:44.905
"Spray that water with all your power,
soak me completely, O shower!"

56:46.905 --> 56:50.345
"O soap, don't slip from my grasp,
fearing the very fate you dread."

56:50.985 --> 56:52.065
How was that, <i>paaji?</i>

56:52.145 --> 56:53.225
<i>Clap it up!</i>

56:54.825 --> 56:58.065
Splendid! One thing I understood.

56:58.145 --> 57:00.865
You are doing very good. Wonderful!

57:00.945 --> 57:03.265
<i>Your rhyming practice must be nonstop.</i>

57:03.345 --> 57:06.665
- <i>Now, you're sitting right here.</i>
- Yes, <i>paaji.</i>

57:06.745 --> 57:09.145
So find something to rhyme right here.

57:09.225 --> 57:11.185
Who will you rhyme about here?

57:11.265 --> 57:14.345
Sunny <i>ji--</i>
I'd like to rhyme about Ravi Shastri <i>ji.</i>

57:14.425 --> 57:17.745
Yes, but mind the last word. Ravi Shastri.

57:17.825 --> 57:20.465
If you rhyme on "Shastri,"

57:20.545 --> 57:22.545
only two rhymes work.
Mistri and <i>stri.</i> That's it.

57:22.625 --> 57:24.385
<i>If you end on "Ravi,"</i>

57:24.465 --> 57:27.625
<i>you get</i> kavi, chhavi, <i>Jammu Tawi…</i>

57:27.705 --> 57:30.985
<i>You can keep rhyming endlessly!</i>

57:31.065 --> 57:33.185
- Right, <i>paaji.</i>
- Your fee hasn't arrived.

57:34.665 --> 57:36.345
Paaji, actually I wanted to--

57:36.425 --> 57:38.865
- If you give me a chance, I'll explain.
- What?

57:38.945 --> 57:41.785
I gave it to
Commentator Sidhu <i>paaji</i> by mistake.

57:41.865 --> 57:45.665
- I was supposed to give it to you--
- <i>No ifs, no buts!</i>

57:45.745 --> 57:48.505
<i>No fee, and I'll hang up on you.</i>

57:48.585 --> 57:49.945
<i>Paaji…</i>

57:50.785 --> 57:52.705
- Man.
- "No fee…"

57:53.545 --> 57:58.065
See? I'm practicing my poetry, but yeah…

58:00.185 --> 58:02.345
I have only one flaw, Kapil.

58:02.425 --> 58:05.625
- Yes?
- If you can help me with that.

58:05.705 --> 58:06.545
Tell me, what is it?

58:06.625 --> 58:08.705
- When a joke comes…
- Yeah.

58:08.785 --> 58:10.585
…I laugh naturally,

58:10.665 --> 58:12.985
but I don't know when to laugh.

58:13.065 --> 58:14.065
I see.

58:14.545 --> 58:18.265
Like Sidhu <i>ji</i> and Archana <i>ji</i> sitting here,
salute to you.

58:18.345 --> 58:20.025
How do you know when to laugh?

58:21.025 --> 58:22.705
There must be a light down there,

58:22.785 --> 58:24.785
and you laugh when it turns on.

58:24.865 --> 58:27.545
Or do you memorize the whole script,

58:28.345 --> 58:31.985
- so you know when to laugh?
- Laughter can't be planned.

58:32.065 --> 58:34.905
Laughter is spontaneous.
It comes from the soul.

58:34.985 --> 58:37.785
If a soul appeared before me,
I'd be terrified, right?

58:40.385 --> 58:41.825
Well, that's not too hard.

58:41.905 --> 58:44.265
I'll tell an old joke. You'll get it.

58:45.145 --> 58:46.625
There's this ant.

58:47.625 --> 58:49.145
No, no, not yet…

58:49.865 --> 58:51.425
Don't laugh yet! Not yet!

58:51.505 --> 58:53.985
<i>- Paaji,</i> hello. Not yet!
- Okay.

58:54.065 --> 58:55.065
She tells an elephant…

58:56.145 --> 58:57.145
No, not yet…

58:58.105 --> 58:59.545
Hello, don't laugh yet.

59:00.305 --> 59:01.665
- Later, later!
- Oh.

59:02.465 --> 59:04.625
- Okay.
- The ant tells the elephant,

59:05.345 --> 59:07.345
"Our families won't approve
of our relationship."

59:10.105 --> 59:12.265
<i>Paaji! Paaji!</i>

59:13.785 --> 59:17.065
Not here! The joke comes later.

59:17.785 --> 59:19.345
- The joke is coming up.
- Okay.

59:19.425 --> 59:22.265
The ant tells the elephant, "Our families
won't approve of our relationship."

59:22.345 --> 59:23.945
- Right.
- The elephant asks, "Why?"

59:24.025 --> 59:25.985
The ant says, "They'll say
the guy's teeth stick out."

59:27.425 --> 59:28.305
This is where you laugh!

59:33.345 --> 59:35.785
You told me to laugh further ahead.

59:35.865 --> 59:37.425
I meant ahead in the joke, right here!

59:37.505 --> 59:38.985
Not further ahead in Pune!

59:41.865 --> 59:44.585
Never mind, I'll tell you another joke.

59:44.665 --> 59:45.745
There's this boy.

59:46.465 --> 59:48.465
Not a boy, an ant, right?

59:49.265 --> 59:50.385
This is a different one.

59:50.505 --> 59:52.865
You're not Harbhajan Singh
to bowl a doosra.

59:53.585 --> 59:55.345
Finish the first one, Kapil.

59:56.105 --> 59:57.625
I have another idea.

59:57.705 --> 59:58.665
- Yeah?
- Forget it.

01:00:00.825 --> 01:00:04.705
Anyway, let's complete the scenario.

01:00:05.345 --> 01:00:08.545
You're legendary cricketers
visiting us today,

01:00:09.225 --> 01:00:11.665
so I want to complete the scene

01:00:11.745 --> 01:00:15.145
and bring out cheerleaders from your era.

01:00:15.225 --> 01:00:17.585
- If you allow me, can I call them?
- Yes.

01:00:17.665 --> 01:00:18.825
- Sure, bring them in.
- Please.

01:00:18.905 --> 01:00:20.385
Please come in quickly.

01:00:27.905 --> 01:00:29.465
What kind of cheerleaders are they?

01:00:32.665 --> 01:00:34.345
Did cheerleaders wear dresses
like these back then?

01:00:38.425 --> 01:00:40.745
- They danced in their house clothes.
- Really?

01:00:40.825 --> 01:00:43.385
Yeah. There were
no cameras back then, right?

01:00:43.465 --> 01:00:45.545
And you're still in touch with them
after all these years?

01:00:55.625 --> 01:00:57.625
No, we don't just stay in touch.

01:00:57.705 --> 01:00:59.745
We've been meeting every single month.

01:00:59.825 --> 01:01:01.505
- We get together every month.
- Why?

01:01:01.585 --> 01:01:04.145
Because we have a kitty group together.

01:01:05.105 --> 01:01:06.385
Yeah.

01:01:06.465 --> 01:01:10.705
Sapna cashed out
at a loss of 1,500 rupees this month

01:01:10.785 --> 01:01:12.345
because she needed
a new gate for her house.

01:01:13.905 --> 01:01:16.185
The plywood warped,
so she's getting a gate put in.

01:01:16.265 --> 01:01:18.705
- Really?
- Yeah, but our kitty party goes on.

01:01:19.385 --> 01:01:21.665
If you don't mind, we'd like

01:01:21.745 --> 01:01:25.385
to have them perform the dance for you

01:01:25.465 --> 01:01:28.345
- because it's a celebration--
<i>- Paaji,</i> join in and dance too!

01:01:28.425 --> 01:01:29.985
Will you join in?

01:01:30.065 --> 01:01:31.145
No, no, you go ahead.

01:01:31.225 --> 01:01:33.705
- That move you do, this one.
- No, no…

01:01:35.545 --> 01:01:36.665
You do it.

01:01:38.825 --> 01:01:44.105
You'll be thrilled to know
that the music and vocals for this song

01:01:44.185 --> 01:01:45.745
are by Singer Sidhu <i>ji.</i>

01:01:47.225 --> 01:01:51.465
And the song they'll dance to is
from Singer Sidhu <i>ji's</i> album.

01:01:51.545 --> 01:01:52.745
- Oh, wow!
- Are you ready, girls?

01:01:52.825 --> 01:01:54.625
Want to dance? Okay.

01:02:03.385 --> 01:02:07.625
<i>This spark is straight out of the '80s</i>
<i>And they're here to set the place on fire</i>

01:02:11.385 --> 01:02:14.785
<i>They're gonna light things up</i>
<i>And make everyone dance!</i>

01:02:19.225 --> 01:02:21.025
<i>They're gonna make Ravi dance</i>

01:02:22.945 --> 01:02:25.185
<i>They're gonna make Sunil dance</i>

01:02:27.225 --> 01:02:29.185
<i>They're gonna make Kapil dance</i>

01:02:31.145 --> 01:02:32.745
<i>They're gonna make Sidhu dance</i>

01:02:34.865 --> 01:02:39.065
<i>These cheerleaders are the OG</i>

01:02:39.145 --> 01:02:42.865
<i>These cheerleaders are the OG</i>

01:02:42.945 --> 01:02:47.265
<i>These cheerleaders are the OG</i>

01:02:50.945 --> 01:02:54.865
<i>She came dancing after every four</i>
<i>And she's gonna spin the wickets around</i>

01:02:54.945 --> 01:02:58.865
<i>And she's gonna spin the wickets around</i>

01:03:00.145 --> 01:03:04.145
<i>These cheerleaders are the OG</i>

01:03:04.225 --> 01:03:08.225
<i>These cheerleaders are the OG</i>

01:03:08.305 --> 01:03:09.545
<i>Check it out!</i>

01:03:09.625 --> 01:03:10.825
<i>Man, check it out!</i>

01:03:22.905 --> 01:03:24.585
Superb! Superb!

01:03:26.545 --> 01:03:27.705
- This song seems like…
- Thank you.

01:03:27.785 --> 01:03:30.105
…a hit, a fit, and it's viral!

01:03:30.825 --> 01:03:32.185
End of story.

01:03:33.185 --> 01:03:35.625
A big round of applause for our guests!

01:03:37.745 --> 01:03:39.865

01:03:39.945 --> 01:03:41.585

And folks, that's all for today.

01:03:50.225 --> 01:03:54.025
They say if you can't give anything,
just give a smile,

01:03:54.105 --> 01:03:57.065
because your smile alone
can bring someone joy.

01:03:57.145 --> 01:04:00.185
So stay happy and keep watching
<i>The Great Indian Kapil Show Season Five.</i>

Thank you so much!
