WEBVTT

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

00:01:03.425 --> 00:01:06.625 align:center
Let's give a huge round of applause
to Sunil Gavaskar <i>sahab…</i>

00:01:10.865 --> 00:01:13.105 align:center
and Little Master Ravi Shastri <i>ji.</i>

00:01:14.505 --> 00:01:16.145 align:center
Wait!

00:01:16.945 --> 00:01:18.985 align:center
Hello! You've dialed the wrong number!

00:01:19.065 --> 00:01:20.225 align:center
He was the Little Master!

00:01:20.865 --> 00:01:21.745 align:center
Oh, no!

00:01:21.825 --> 00:01:23.345 align:center
He's a master of "little" drinks too!

00:01:28.145 --> 00:01:30.705 align:center
I've had the honor
to meet Sunny sir before,

00:01:30.785 --> 00:01:32.705 align:center
but I've never met Ravi sir.

00:01:32.785 --> 00:01:36.105 align:center
I asked Sidhu <i>paaji</i> quite a few times
to introduce me to Ravi sir.

00:01:36.185 --> 00:01:38.785 align:center
He said, "If you were a pretty actress,

00:01:39.625 --> 00:01:41.265 align:center
Ravi would've met you on his own.

00:01:42.705 --> 00:01:44.385 align:center
Now you have to work for it."

00:01:45.545 --> 00:01:49.345 align:center
I'm just kidding, but people say
Rajesh Khanna <i>sahab</i> in films

00:01:49.425 --> 00:01:50.785 align:center
and Ravi Shastri <i>sahab</i> in cricket

00:01:50.865 --> 00:01:54.025 align:center
had huge female fan followings.

00:01:54.105 --> 00:01:55.345 align:center
Someone was even saying

00:01:55.425 --> 00:01:58.825 align:center
that he'd have scored ten more centuries
with five fewer girlfriends.

00:01:59.745 --> 00:02:01.225 align:center
That's what we heard.

00:02:02.425 --> 00:02:05.265 align:center
And in India, sir, people love you so much

00:02:05.345 --> 00:02:07.625 align:center
that they name their kids
after cricketers.

00:02:07.705 --> 00:02:08.905 align:center
I'm one example.

00:02:08.985 --> 00:02:12.985 align:center
When Kapil <i>paaji</i> won the '83 World Cup,
my family named me Kapil after him.

00:02:13.505 --> 00:02:16.385 align:center
I think, "Thank goodness
West Indies didn't win that day!"

00:02:17.065 --> 00:02:20.145 align:center
Otherwise, today you'd have come
to <i>The Great Indian Clive Lloyd Show.</i>

00:02:23.585 --> 00:02:26.745 align:center
Ravi sir and Sunny sir's
commentary is amazing.

00:02:26.825 --> 00:02:28.745 align:center
When they speak, the world listens.

00:02:28.825 --> 00:02:31.065 align:center
But when Sidhu <i>sahab</i> speaks,
even the commentators listen

00:02:31.145 --> 00:02:33.065 align:center
because he doesn't let anyone else
get a word in.

00:02:33.985 --> 00:02:36.465 align:center
Commentary has gotten so fast now, <i>paaji.</i>

00:02:37.225 --> 00:02:39.865 align:center
Earlier-- Jasdev Singh <i>ji</i>
used to do it, remember?

00:02:40.505 --> 00:02:45.025 align:center
He would commentate live
on the Red Fort parade.

00:02:45.105 --> 00:02:47.065 align:center
He had such an interesting style.

00:02:47.145 --> 00:02:48.905 align:center
"These brave soldiers of India,

00:02:49.465 --> 00:02:52.745 align:center
marching past the ramparts
of the Red Fort,

00:02:53.585 --> 00:02:56.145 align:center
saluting the tricolor waving in the wind."

00:02:57.225 --> 00:03:00.785 align:center
The government even made them do
cricket commentary sometimes.

00:03:01.345 --> 00:03:02.545 align:center
The style was the same.

00:03:02.625 --> 00:03:04.385 align:center
"Valiant Indian bowler,

00:03:04.465 --> 00:03:08.865 align:center
Kapil Dev, marching
from the pavilion end at Eden Gardens,

00:03:09.545 --> 00:03:12.425 align:center
facing the great West Indies batsman
Vivian Richards."

00:03:13.385 --> 00:03:16.305 align:center
"Kapil bowls the ball,
and the batsman is clean bowled!"

00:03:16.385 --> 00:03:20.985 align:center
"The entire stadium salutes the bowler
with thunderous applause!"

00:03:22.465 --> 00:03:23.305 align:center
Lovely!

00:03:23.385 --> 00:03:27.225 align:center
His vocabulary was like,
"With thunderous applause,

00:03:27.305 --> 00:03:30.065 align:center
the stadium salutes the valiant bowler."

00:03:30.665 --> 00:03:33.785 align:center
Did Vivian Richards get out,
or was he shot?

00:03:33.865 --> 00:03:37.265 align:center
Like he was martyred!
They made it feel like that.

00:03:37.345 --> 00:03:39.585 align:center
- Radio commentary was even better, sir.
- Absolutely.

00:03:39.665 --> 00:03:42.425 align:center
There was no TV, so you could tell--

00:03:42.505 --> 00:03:45.945 align:center
We'd imagine what the players looked like.

00:03:46.025 --> 00:03:47.745 align:center
It was so much fun to listen.

00:03:48.465 --> 00:03:51.545 align:center
"India's opening batsman on the field,

00:03:51.625 --> 00:03:53.345 align:center
5'4" Gavaskar…"

00:03:53.425 --> 00:03:55.465 align:center
- 5'5", man!
- 5'5".

00:03:55.545 --> 00:03:58.625 align:center
- You were off by an inch!
- An inch or so doesn't matter.

00:03:59.745 --> 00:04:05.385 align:center
"5'5" Gavaskar, facing
the colossal 6'8" Joel Garner."

00:04:06.625 --> 00:04:08.305 align:center
"About one and a half Gavaskars."

00:04:15.745 --> 00:04:16.745 align:center
Oh, God!

00:04:16.825 --> 00:04:18.545 align:center
"Quite a magnificent sight!"

00:04:18.625 --> 00:04:20.745 align:center
"On one side, a 5-foot-plus mortal,

00:04:21.225 --> 00:04:22.985 align:center
on the other, a 7-foot monster."

00:04:25.145 --> 00:04:27.825 align:center
"Ravana effigies in small towns
are that tall."

00:04:31.425 --> 00:04:33.305 align:center
Commentary has gotten so fast now, sir.

00:04:33.385 --> 00:04:35.025 align:center
People watch it live on TV,

00:04:35.105 --> 00:04:36.905 align:center
so they comment on everything.

00:04:36.985 --> 00:04:39.625 align:center
If the camera pans to a girl,

00:04:39.705 --> 00:04:43.025 align:center
some commentators have
a poem ready for her too.

00:04:43.105 --> 00:04:43.945 align:center
"Look…"

00:04:48.065 --> 00:04:51.185 align:center
"Look, brother, Kohli is always
number one in the rankings!"

00:04:52.025 --> 00:04:54.185 align:center
"Kohli is always
number one in the rankings!"

00:04:54.265 --> 00:04:57.585 align:center
"And when such ladies attend,
I'm hooked too!"

00:05:05.545 --> 00:05:07.825 align:center
- Oh, God!
- Thank you. It's a gift for me.

00:05:09.345 --> 00:05:11.985 align:center
Back in the day, we had
black-and-white TVs. You all know this.

00:05:12.065 --> 00:05:14.545 align:center
Matches aired on Doordarshan.
Big cities had it fine,

00:05:14.625 --> 00:05:16.865 align:center
but in small towns, the signal--
In Amritsar,

00:05:16.945 --> 00:05:18.905 align:center
we even caught PTV, Pakistan TV.

00:05:18.985 --> 00:05:20.585 align:center
Signals got mixed up, right?

00:05:20.665 --> 00:05:22.705 align:center
Kapil Dev <i>sahab</i> runs in to bowl,

00:05:22.785 --> 00:05:24.625 align:center
and suddenly a crow lands on the antenna.

00:05:24.705 --> 00:05:27.785 align:center
Whatever position they were in,
they froze right there.

00:05:27.865 --> 00:05:30.945 align:center
Kapil Dev <i>sahab</i> would do this,
and the broadcast would freeze…

00:05:40.265 --> 00:05:41.745 align:center
If a batsman stood like this,

00:05:42.585 --> 00:05:43.745 align:center
and the antenna froze…

00:05:47.905 --> 00:05:49.745 align:center
Oh, God! This is so true!

00:05:50.665 --> 00:05:53.505 align:center
Sometimes two images
would blend into each other.

00:05:54.145 --> 00:05:57.465 align:center
I often saw Syed Kirmani <i>sahab</i>
keeping wickets behind the stumps,

00:05:58.825 --> 00:06:00.025 align:center
and the antenna would glitch,

00:06:00.105 --> 00:06:02.105 align:center
and he'd be sitting
on Javed Miandad's shoulders.

00:06:06.185 --> 00:06:07.465 align:center
Kapil!

00:06:07.545 --> 00:06:09.105 align:center
It was due to low voltage.

00:06:09.185 --> 00:06:12.305 align:center
So I'd quickly dial up the voltage
and get Kirmani <i>sahab</i> down.

00:06:14.345 --> 00:06:16.865 align:center
Things are so much better now, sir.

00:06:16.945 --> 00:06:19.865 align:center
The quality has completely changed.
Great kits, great fabrics.

00:06:19.945 --> 00:06:23.545 align:center
Back then, if someone dove,
their pants would tear.

00:06:23.625 --> 00:06:24.905 align:center
Sidhu <i>sahab,</i> you can testify to this.

00:06:24.985 --> 00:06:26.425 align:center
Skin peeled like a boiled potato!

00:06:26.505 --> 00:06:27.625 align:center
- Yeah.
- Oh, gosh!

00:06:27.705 --> 00:06:29.945 align:center
While saving a four, one would
end up showing his own boundaries!

00:06:36.665 --> 00:06:38.105 align:center
Sir, cricket is something else.

00:06:38.185 --> 00:06:41.265 align:center
Fans don't bother painting their homes,

00:06:41.345 --> 00:06:44.585 align:center
yet they paint their entire bodies
for the match.

00:06:44.665 --> 00:06:47.305 align:center
Right? And when it gets hot,

00:06:47.905 --> 00:06:49.145 align:center
the paint begins to peel.

00:06:50.585 --> 00:06:51.945 align:center
It looks like flaking plaster on a wall.

00:06:53.585 --> 00:06:57.465 align:center
Then sweat trickles down
straight along your spine.

00:07:01.225 --> 00:07:02.465 align:center
Right?

00:07:05.585 --> 00:07:08.625 align:center
And by the time it reaches your belt--

00:07:08.705 --> 00:07:11.025 align:center
You suddenly realize it's gone.

00:07:13.105 --> 00:07:15.025 align:center
Two seconds later, you realize

00:07:15.105 --> 00:07:16.505 align:center
the river has met the sea.

00:07:23.305 --> 00:07:25.145 align:center
We can never talk enough about cricket,

00:07:25.225 --> 00:07:28.505 align:center
but today we are honored
to host such legendary guests.

00:07:28.585 --> 00:07:29.745 align:center
Sunny sir, please welcome.

00:07:29.825 --> 00:07:31.945 align:center
Ravi sir, please. A round of applause!

00:07:40.145 --> 00:07:41.705 align:center
Sir, welcome!

00:07:42.665 --> 00:07:43.825 align:center
Love you, sir!

00:07:44.345 --> 00:07:45.385 align:center
Welcome, Ravi sir.

00:07:48.185 --> 00:07:50.465 align:center
<i>Paaji,</i> recite a couplet
for your friends today?

00:07:50.545 --> 00:07:54.465 align:center
6'4" and a 55-inch chest…

00:07:54.545 --> 00:07:55.745 align:center
- Wow!
- Still got it.

00:07:55.825 --> 00:07:59.025 align:center
Standing 6'4" tall and a 55-inch chest…

00:07:59.105 --> 00:08:01.345 align:center
And personality so charming
Truly the best.

00:08:01.425 --> 00:08:04.585 align:center
- Wow.
- Bravo! Wonderful!

00:08:06.025 --> 00:08:08.625 align:center
Ravi's era was something else, Kapil.

00:08:09.305 --> 00:08:12.425 align:center
Girls came less for the cricket
and more to see Ravi.

00:08:12.505 --> 00:08:13.385 align:center
Oh, my!

00:08:16.745 --> 00:08:18.585 align:center
- Spot on!
- Yeah!

00:08:19.745 --> 00:08:20.625 align:center
High-five!

00:08:20.705 --> 00:08:23.905 align:center
He was your captain,
but I was his captain.

00:08:24.665 --> 00:08:26.425 align:center
So, I know everything.

00:08:27.265 --> 00:08:30.585 align:center
Everyone was hooked on his batting style.

00:08:31.145 --> 00:08:34.065 align:center
Bowlers went mad with frustration.

00:08:34.145 --> 00:08:37.664 align:center
Fifty years before reels existed,

00:08:37.745 --> 00:08:40.985 align:center
- Sunil Gavaskar went viral worldwide!
- Viral worldwide!

00:08:44.144 --> 00:08:44.985 align:center
Viral!

00:08:45.664 --> 00:08:49.945 align:center
Kapil, an opener like him
has never existed.

00:08:50.025 --> 00:08:51.225 align:center
He is a legend.

00:08:51.305 --> 00:08:53.505 align:center
- Cricket is honored by his name.
- Absolutely.

00:08:53.585 --> 00:08:56.985 align:center
Ravi <i>bhaiya</i> was playing alongside me
in Pakistan.

00:08:57.065 --> 00:08:58.785 align:center
We were 24 for four.

00:08:58.865 --> 00:09:01.465 align:center
Imran Khan had left the grass
this tall in Sialkot, Ravi <i>bhaiya.</i>

00:09:01.545 --> 00:09:03.305 align:center
We were 24 for four,

00:09:03.385 --> 00:09:05.385 align:center
and Wasim Akram bowled a bouncer. Whoosh!

00:09:05.985 --> 00:09:07.265 align:center
It whizzed right past me.

00:09:07.345 --> 00:09:09.265 align:center
On the last ball of the over,
Ravi <i>bhaiya</i> came over to me saying,

00:09:09.345 --> 00:09:10.825 align:center
"Well left!" I said, "I never saw it."

00:09:11.945 --> 00:09:13.945 align:center
I'm serious. They bowled so fast!

00:09:14.025 --> 00:09:15.905 align:center
And the helmet-- David Lawrence.

00:09:16.465 --> 00:09:19.105 align:center
When we first played,
he was our Under-19 captain.

00:09:19.185 --> 00:09:21.585 align:center
Man, I blew my entire tour allowance

00:09:22.145 --> 00:09:24.345 align:center
on a helmet.

00:09:24.425 --> 00:09:28.185 align:center
I thought, "Man, will my parents ever
see me alive again? With these…"

00:09:28.265 --> 00:09:30.585 align:center
6'9" guys, as you mentioned.

00:09:30.665 --> 00:09:33.225 align:center
Back then, this man…

00:09:33.305 --> 00:09:34.785 align:center
without a helmet…

00:09:34.865 --> 00:09:37.265 align:center
facing 150-kilometer-per-hour bowling.

00:09:37.345 --> 00:09:38.745 align:center
Incredible!

00:09:41.505 --> 00:09:42.665 align:center
So I asked him,

00:09:42.745 --> 00:09:46.785 align:center
"Sunny <i>bhai,</i>
how do you play without a helmet?

00:09:46.865 --> 00:09:48.145 align:center
- Our protective gear--"
- Want to know?

00:09:48.225 --> 00:09:49.465 align:center
- What?
- Want to know why?

00:09:49.545 --> 00:09:50.545 align:center
Yes.

00:09:50.625 --> 00:09:51.705 align:center
Because there was nothing in here!

00:09:54.185 --> 00:09:55.425 align:center
So why bother wearing a helmet!

00:09:56.985 --> 00:09:59.585 align:center
He's just being totally modest.

00:09:59.665 --> 00:10:01.145 align:center
He may look innocent,

00:10:01.225 --> 00:10:04.505 align:center
but let me tell you, he's deep enough
to contain an entire ocean.

00:10:05.145 --> 00:10:06.225 align:center
Wow.

00:10:07.025 --> 00:10:09.265 align:center
- I mean it.
- Where on earth did you find this guy?

00:10:10.465 --> 00:10:13.905 align:center
His father-- You wouldn't know this.

00:10:13.985 --> 00:10:17.905 align:center
- 6'4", dressed in a Pathani suit.
- Yes. Absolutely.

00:10:17.985 --> 00:10:19.825 align:center
He came into our Jalandhar dressing room.

00:10:19.905 --> 00:10:23.505 align:center
He came up to me
because I was captain and said,

00:10:24.145 --> 00:10:27.945 align:center
"Ravi, son, look after my boy."

00:10:28.545 --> 00:10:30.265 align:center
I said, "Care for him? Look at him now!"

00:10:32.105 --> 00:10:33.505 align:center
Care?

00:10:34.905 --> 00:10:36.225 align:center
Now listen to what Ravi <i>bhaiya</i> did.

00:10:36.305 --> 00:10:39.505 align:center
Look, I got picked for India
when I was 18.

00:10:40.345 --> 00:10:41.185 align:center
Right?

00:10:41.265 --> 00:10:42.905 align:center
We had no single rooms then.

00:10:42.985 --> 00:10:44.425 align:center
We always had roommates.

00:10:45.105 --> 00:10:47.545 align:center
- And my roommate was Ravi Shastri.
- Okay.

00:10:48.305 --> 00:10:50.065 align:center
I went in full of hope, thinking,
"My captain--"

00:10:50.145 --> 00:10:51.745 align:center
Hey, wait, wait!

00:10:55.745 --> 00:10:57.025 align:center
Let it out!

00:10:57.105 --> 00:11:01.145 align:center
So I thought, "Man, my roommate
is Ravi Shastri."

00:11:01.225 --> 00:11:04.625 align:center
I walked into the room, and there was
an older lady sitting inside.

00:11:04.705 --> 00:11:06.345 align:center
- What are you saying?
- Yeah!

00:11:07.865 --> 00:11:10.385 align:center
She was sitting there, so I greeted her.

00:11:10.465 --> 00:11:13.825 align:center
Ravi <i>bhaiya</i> said,
"Why don't you go for a little walk?"

00:11:13.905 --> 00:11:17.145 align:center
I went to the corridor, paced up and down,

00:11:17.225 --> 00:11:18.985 align:center
and wandered for a couple of hours.

00:11:19.065 --> 00:11:21.785 align:center
Forget batting,
I was exhausted right there!

00:11:21.865 --> 00:11:23.425 align:center
Two hours later, I returned,

00:11:23.505 --> 00:11:24.945 align:center
and a young woman was inside!

00:11:25.025 --> 00:11:28.625 align:center
The old lady left, and now there was
a girl in there. She said to me…

00:11:28.705 --> 00:11:31.265 align:center
"Hi!" And Ravi <i>bhaiya</i> was gesturing…

00:11:31.345 --> 00:11:32.385 align:center
So I said, "Bye!"

00:11:35.385 --> 00:11:37.225 align:center
- Look, brother. Listen.
- Yeah.

00:11:37.305 --> 00:11:40.585 align:center
You know, back then,
it was his first Test match.

00:11:40.665 --> 00:11:42.145 align:center
- Yeah.
- So I had to train him.

00:11:43.585 --> 00:11:45.865 align:center
And cricket had a rest day back then.

00:11:46.465 --> 00:11:48.985 align:center
So the first few days,
when you're on the field,

00:11:50.025 --> 00:11:51.985 align:center
you use your entire body.

00:11:52.065 --> 00:11:54.105 align:center
You know, running, fielding,

00:11:54.185 --> 00:11:56.105 align:center
bowling, and batting.

00:11:56.185 --> 00:11:57.945 align:center
Now, when the rest day comes…

00:11:58.025 --> 00:12:00.665 align:center
- Yeah.
- …all of that needs a rest.

00:12:01.465 --> 00:12:03.145 align:center
And your brain too.

00:12:03.225 --> 00:12:05.865 align:center
- Right? Am I right or what?
- Absolutely right!

00:12:09.545 --> 00:12:13.305 align:center
Earlier, you mentioned Wasim Akram
and some bouncers.

00:12:13.385 --> 00:12:14.825 align:center
Was that the Pakistan tour?

00:12:14.905 --> 00:12:17.505 align:center
- Pakistan, 1989…
- So, was he talking about that?

00:12:17.585 --> 00:12:18.465 align:center
- Yes, that one.
- Okay.

00:12:18.545 --> 00:12:20.985 align:center
So, on that tour, didn't Waqar Younis
get you out on the first ball?

00:12:21.065 --> 00:12:22.465 align:center
No, no, no…

00:12:26.025 --> 00:12:27.385 align:center
Now throw the cushion!

00:12:27.465 --> 00:12:32.225 align:center
Yes, in that innings,
Sachin Tendulkar got hit on the nose…

00:12:32.305 --> 00:12:35.465 align:center
- Hey, I'm talking about you!
- I'm telling it.

00:12:35.545 --> 00:12:37.025 align:center
He got hit on the nose.

00:12:37.105 --> 00:12:38.345 align:center
He got out in that mess.

00:12:38.425 --> 00:12:41.825 align:center
And through the pain,
he scored 56 not out, and then…

00:12:41.905 --> 00:12:44.025 align:center
Sidhu was 97 not out!

00:12:44.105 --> 00:12:45.185 align:center
Oh, man!

00:12:48.385 --> 00:12:50.585 align:center
First, about what Sidhu <i>paaji</i> was saying.

00:12:50.665 --> 00:12:54.545 align:center
Sunny sir faced some
really dangerous bowlers without a helmet.

00:12:54.625 --> 00:12:55.905 align:center
Let me first show you

00:12:55.985 --> 00:13:00.185 align:center
what that West Indies team looked like.
Show us the picture.

00:13:01.545 --> 00:13:02.945 align:center
- Oh, man!
- Oh, wow!

00:13:03.025 --> 00:13:05.905 align:center
That's Joel Garner, isn't it?

00:13:05.985 --> 00:13:07.545 align:center
- 6'8". Yeah.
- Right?

00:13:07.625 --> 00:13:09.945 align:center
His bicep was as thick as my thigh!

00:13:11.345 --> 00:13:14.265 align:center
Look at their lethal bowlers!

00:13:14.345 --> 00:13:16.785 align:center
Wicket or not,
they looked ready to take your life!

00:13:18.985 --> 00:13:21.145 align:center
And against such lethal players,

00:13:21.225 --> 00:13:23.705 align:center
- Sunny sir went in with no helmet.
- True!

00:13:23.785 --> 00:13:26.025 align:center
Without a bat in hand,
you'd have a heart attack.

00:13:26.105 --> 00:13:28.945 align:center
Sunny sir, why take such big risks?

00:13:29.025 --> 00:13:32.065 align:center
Because playing for India

00:13:32.665 --> 00:13:34.705 align:center
is a huge privilege, a great honor.

00:13:35.345 --> 00:13:37.425 align:center
You should be ready
to give your life for it.

00:13:37.505 --> 00:13:38.505 align:center
Wow.

00:13:42.825 --> 00:13:45.785 align:center
That's the spirit! One that…

00:13:45.865 --> 00:13:48.545 align:center
A heart devoid of passion,
where no deep emotion flows,

00:13:48.625 --> 00:13:50.385 align:center
is nothing but a stone,

00:13:50.465 --> 00:13:52.145 align:center
if love for India never grows.

00:13:52.225 --> 00:13:54.145 align:center
Oh, brilliant! Wow!

00:13:56.145 --> 00:13:58.985 align:center
Sidhu <i>paaji,</i> when were
helmets introduced in cricket?

00:13:59.065 --> 00:14:00.825 align:center
In 1974, I think.

00:14:00.905 --> 00:14:02.425 align:center
- 1977.
- Right, '77.

00:14:02.505 --> 00:14:04.185 align:center
And when did the L-guard arrive?

00:14:04.265 --> 00:14:07.265 align:center
- 1877.
- 1874. Helmets came 100 years later.

00:14:07.345 --> 00:14:11.105 align:center
It took men 100 years to realize,
"Hey, the brain matters too."

00:14:18.185 --> 00:14:20.145 align:center
When people play cricket,

00:14:20.225 --> 00:14:22.505 align:center
some play right-handed, some left-handed.

00:14:22.585 --> 00:14:25.585 align:center
Ravi sir is the only player
who cashed in with both hands.

00:14:25.665 --> 00:14:28.305 align:center
He batted right-handed
and bowled left-handed.

00:14:28.825 --> 00:14:30.905 align:center
Yet, sir, you retired at the age of 30.

00:14:30.985 --> 00:14:32.505 align:center
Why so early?

00:14:33.225 --> 00:14:36.065 align:center
Because I got a bad injury in Australia.

00:14:36.145 --> 00:14:38.385 align:center
- Okay.
- And I had a knee issue.

00:14:38.905 --> 00:14:42.465 align:center
Back then, with physiotherapy and surgery,

00:14:42.545 --> 00:14:45.345 align:center
- it took a long time with no guarantee…
- I see.

00:14:45.425 --> 00:14:48.105 align:center
…that you'd even walk fine. So…

00:14:48.825 --> 00:14:50.505 align:center
I tried for two more years,

00:14:50.585 --> 00:14:51.985 align:center
but it happened again.

00:14:52.065 --> 00:14:53.065 align:center
Then I thought,

00:14:53.145 --> 00:14:55.745 align:center
"I can't play at the level I want to."

00:14:56.665 --> 00:14:58.385 align:center
And that was the highest level.

00:14:58.945 --> 00:15:02.065 align:center
I thought, "I'm not here to waste my time
at such a low level."

00:15:02.625 --> 00:15:05.425 align:center
- Play at the top, or get the hell out.
- Wow.

00:15:05.505 --> 00:15:07.785 align:center
And back then, TV broadcasting took off.

00:15:08.625 --> 00:15:10.665 align:center
So I stepped in as a commentator.

00:15:14.505 --> 00:15:18.065 align:center
Sunny sir, as Ravi sir said,
your form was always incredible.

00:15:18.945 --> 00:15:22.185 align:center
You played till 38, though you
could have played two more years.

00:15:22.265 --> 00:15:25.305 align:center
Did you think, "I'm married now,
my loans are paid off, so I'm done"?

00:15:25.385 --> 00:15:28.625 align:center
Absolutely. We'd been
married some 15 years.

00:15:28.705 --> 00:15:31.465 align:center
- I see.
- And I'd bought a new house.

00:15:31.545 --> 00:15:35.705 align:center
Best of all, I was still scoring runs,

00:15:35.785 --> 00:15:38.385 align:center
and the pure joy
of being on the cricket field--

00:15:38.465 --> 00:15:40.585 align:center
Like while fielding, I'd notice--

00:15:40.665 --> 00:15:42.305 align:center
I used to love fielding, too.

00:15:42.385 --> 00:15:44.105 align:center
But then I noticed that--

00:15:44.185 --> 00:15:48.145 align:center
I'd look at the clock on the ground
during a Test match,

00:15:48.225 --> 00:15:50.585 align:center
and I'd catch myself thinking,

00:15:51.105 --> 00:15:53.185 align:center
"Fifteen more minutes until tea."

00:15:53.265 --> 00:15:56.865 align:center
"Just ten more minutes until stumps."

00:15:56.945 --> 00:16:00.585 align:center
When thoughts like that
crept into my mind,

00:16:00.665 --> 00:16:05.065 align:center
I realized that
the joy of being on the field was fading.

00:16:05.145 --> 00:16:08.625 align:center
So I thought it was best
to leave the game.

00:16:08.705 --> 00:16:10.865 align:center
We loved watching you play, sir.

00:16:10.945 --> 00:16:12.145 align:center
Thank you for that.

00:16:13.945 --> 00:16:16.545 align:center
Come, sir, let's talk. Please have a seat.

00:16:17.265 --> 00:16:18.625 align:center
Sidhu <i>paaji,</i> you want this?

00:16:21.705 --> 00:16:22.745 align:center
Oh, catch!

00:16:28.025 --> 00:16:30.585 align:center
You know, Ravi sir is a true all-rounder.

00:16:30.665 --> 00:16:34.145 align:center
He bowled, he batted, he was the captain,

00:16:34.225 --> 00:16:36.385 align:center
gave pitch reports, hosted the toss,

00:16:36.465 --> 00:16:39.865 align:center
and he's there at the awards after.

00:16:39.945 --> 00:16:42.625 align:center
Someone said if you get dry wood,
you'd carve a bat out of it.

00:16:44.625 --> 00:16:48.345 align:center
Sir, you've done everything in cricket
except umpiring.

00:16:48.425 --> 00:16:51.825 align:center
Do you hate standing in the sun,
or hate pointing fingers?

00:16:51.905 --> 00:16:53.625 align:center
Why haven't you ever umpired?

00:16:54.225 --> 00:16:56.865 align:center
- I don't like pointing fingers.
- I see.

00:16:59.465 --> 00:17:02.625 align:center
- No, it's the hardest job.
- Is it?

00:17:02.705 --> 00:17:06.225 align:center
And… umpires always get criticized,

00:17:06.305 --> 00:17:09.305 align:center
but it's an extremely tough job.

00:17:09.865 --> 00:17:13.145 align:center
You must stand for six hours,
just like you said.

00:17:13.224 --> 00:17:16.825 align:center
Concentrating for six hours
is no easy task.

00:17:17.545 --> 00:17:20.745 align:center
So, I think they deserve credit.

00:17:20.825 --> 00:17:23.545 align:center
There will be criticism
if there's a bad call.

00:17:23.625 --> 00:17:25.785 align:center
But remember they're human.

00:17:25.865 --> 00:17:27.825 align:center
- You're right.
- They're bound to make mistakes.

00:17:27.905 --> 00:17:30.464 align:center
Nowadays, we have DRS.

00:17:30.545 --> 00:17:32.065 align:center
- I mean--
- Look at what Ravi <i>bhaiya's</i> saying.

00:17:32.145 --> 00:17:33.785 align:center
It's a huge deal…

00:17:34.305 --> 00:17:37.145 align:center
An umpire makes a decision
in a split second.

00:17:37.225 --> 00:17:38.985 align:center
Then, that split-second call

00:17:39.065 --> 00:17:41.505 align:center
is reviewed by 100 machines on replay.

00:17:42.225 --> 00:17:46.185 align:center
Today, in that one second,
an umpire can't rival a machine.

00:17:46.265 --> 00:17:48.745 align:center
So even if umpires matter less now,

00:17:48.825 --> 00:17:51.705 align:center
they still deserve their due credit,

00:17:51.785 --> 00:17:55.945 align:center
because their judgment
is like that of a supreme judge,

00:17:56.025 --> 00:17:58.905 align:center
and their verdict is the ultimate one.

00:18:00.745 --> 00:18:02.585 align:center
Sir, Archana <i>ji</i> had a question.

00:18:02.665 --> 00:18:06.625 align:center
She says players in the IPL
go for millions.

00:18:07.145 --> 00:18:08.665 align:center
Right? There was no IPL in your day.

00:18:08.745 --> 00:18:11.905 align:center
Do you ever wonder
if there was IPL back then,

00:18:11.985 --> 00:18:13.705 align:center
we'd have a few more flats in Juhu?

00:18:13.785 --> 00:18:15.865 align:center
Definitely! That's very true!

00:18:15.945 --> 00:18:18.665 align:center
- She had another question I skipped.
- What?

00:18:18.745 --> 00:18:20.025 align:center
She asked, "When you hear news

00:18:20.105 --> 00:18:22.825 align:center
of Virat Kohli's 80-crore flat
in Gurugram,

00:18:22.905 --> 00:18:23.865 align:center
do you pull your hair out?"

00:18:23.945 --> 00:18:25.185 align:center
She wants to know.

00:18:29.225 --> 00:18:31.505 align:center
The best thing is that today,

00:18:31.585 --> 00:18:34.025 align:center
- the money players make…
- That's great.

00:18:34.105 --> 00:18:36.025 align:center
- And deservedly so.
- Right.

00:18:36.105 --> 00:18:37.345 align:center
They deserve it.

00:18:37.425 --> 00:18:40.825 align:center
Because there's so much pressure
and focus,

00:18:40.905 --> 00:18:44.825 align:center
and cricket has massive viewership,

00:18:44.905 --> 00:18:46.465 align:center
- especially for the IPL.
- Right.

00:18:46.545 --> 00:18:49.665 align:center
You know, the matches are broadcast
in over 200 countries.

00:18:50.385 --> 00:18:55.345 align:center
Based on the sport's popularity, you know,

00:18:55.865 --> 00:18:57.105 align:center
players should get their due.

00:18:57.745 --> 00:18:58.825 align:center
So, I'm really happy.

00:18:58.905 --> 00:19:02.145 align:center
Because in our time,
there wasn't much money,

00:19:02.225 --> 00:19:04.785 align:center
but the respect we got
for playing for our country,

00:19:04.865 --> 00:19:08.185 align:center
- Yeah.
- and the memories from back then

00:19:08.265 --> 00:19:09.785 align:center
- are paying off today.
- Absolutely.

00:19:09.865 --> 00:19:12.425 align:center
Whether in commentary or anything else.

00:19:12.505 --> 00:19:13.985 align:center
- Yes.
- It's great.

00:19:14.065 --> 00:19:17.065 align:center
Let me tell you something
about what Ravi <i>bhaiya's</i> saying.

00:19:17.145 --> 00:19:20.465 align:center
The IPL is Indian cricket's pride,
its crowning glory.

00:19:20.545 --> 00:19:24.385 align:center
Ask them. Back then, in the summer,
us Indians used to go

00:19:24.465 --> 00:19:27.105 align:center
to England and play for Lancashire.

00:19:27.185 --> 00:19:28.865 align:center
- Ravi <i>bhaiya,</i> which county?
- Glamorgan.

00:19:28.945 --> 00:19:31.265 align:center
- Glamorgan. Which county did you play for?
- Somerset.

00:19:31.345 --> 00:19:34.345 align:center
For Somerset.
So, everyone used to visit England.

00:19:34.425 --> 00:19:37.465 align:center
Today, the whole world comes
for two months

00:19:37.545 --> 00:19:40.465 align:center
to India to play in the IPL.

00:19:45.985 --> 00:19:48.705 align:center
And you know what the IPL has done?

00:19:48.785 --> 00:19:51.825 align:center
- To the Western world…
- Right.

00:19:51.905 --> 00:19:53.585 align:center
It taught them to fall in line.

00:19:54.665 --> 00:19:57.905 align:center
Get it? Like Navjot said,

00:19:57.985 --> 00:19:59.905 align:center
we used to go to Glamorgan,
we went to England.

00:20:00.625 --> 00:20:02.625 align:center
Back then, if they were

00:20:02.705 --> 00:20:04.665 align:center
invited to our side, they'd say,

00:20:04.745 --> 00:20:06.625 align:center
"No, no, no, the food isn't good.

00:20:06.705 --> 00:20:09.225 align:center
It upsets our stomach.
There are roaches in the room.

00:20:10.305 --> 00:20:12.305 align:center
Lizards crawling around everywhere.

00:20:12.385 --> 00:20:14.025 align:center
We don't want to come to India."

00:20:14.105 --> 00:20:15.985 align:center
Now that they see the cream…

00:20:16.065 --> 00:20:17.305 align:center
No upset stomachs now!

00:20:17.385 --> 00:20:18.665 align:center
Everything's great now!

00:20:19.505 --> 00:20:22.145 align:center
"Everything's fine, we'll eat it all!"

00:20:22.745 --> 00:20:24.865 align:center
"We'll come. <i>Namaskar!"</i>

00:20:28.225 --> 00:20:30.345 align:center
I have to ask, sir,
like we've been hearing about Ravi sir,

00:20:30.425 --> 00:20:33.385 align:center
and Sidhu <i>paaji</i> told tales.
We never heard you had an affair.

00:20:34.345 --> 00:20:37.105 align:center
Were you that innocent, or were
you sneaking off with a helmet on?

00:20:43.785 --> 00:20:46.345 align:center
Look, brother, I never wore a helmet.

00:20:46.425 --> 00:20:48.105 align:center
- Right.
- I only wore a skullcap.

00:20:48.185 --> 00:20:53.945 align:center
And even with a skullcap, there was
a risk. If the ball hit it…

00:20:54.025 --> 00:20:55.585 align:center
- Yeah.
- I'd be a goner.

00:20:56.625 --> 00:20:59.945 align:center
So neither a helmet nor a skullcap.

00:21:00.025 --> 00:21:02.985 align:center
My only affair was with cricket.

00:21:03.065 --> 00:21:04.945 align:center
Oh, wow! Beautiful!

00:21:06.505 --> 00:21:09.705 align:center
But, Kapil, I'd like to say something.

00:21:10.265 --> 00:21:14.145 align:center
Girls were so crazy about Sunil.
Sunny, you.

00:21:14.225 --> 00:21:18.945 align:center
We were playing
in a pro-celebrity match tournament.

00:21:19.025 --> 00:21:20.185 align:center
- Remember, Sunny?
- Yes, yes.

00:21:20.265 --> 00:21:22.505 align:center
Sachin was my partner.

00:21:22.585 --> 00:21:24.465 align:center
And Sunny, who was yours?

00:21:26.025 --> 00:21:27.865 align:center
He doesn't even remember! Anyway…

00:21:27.945 --> 00:21:31.225 align:center
A very beautiful, gorgeous actress,

00:21:31.865 --> 00:21:34.305 align:center
and she was crazy about Sunny!

00:21:34.385 --> 00:21:36.265 align:center
Sunny kept running ahead,

00:21:36.345 --> 00:21:38.545 align:center
and she ran right behind him! I remember!

00:21:38.625 --> 00:21:41.585 align:center
Sunny sir must be thinking,
"Why didn't you tell me back then?"

00:21:45.985 --> 00:21:47.705 align:center
- Yes…
- Now do you remember, Sunny?

00:21:47.785 --> 00:21:52.545 align:center
Yes, because I had to tell her
that to take a run,

00:21:52.625 --> 00:21:55.865 align:center
she had to go to the other end,
not follow me!

00:21:57.505 --> 00:22:01.225 align:center
Or else, either she'd get run out
or I would!

00:22:01.305 --> 00:22:03.625 align:center
- Yeah.
- Who… who was it?

00:22:04.665 --> 00:22:06.625 align:center
- I can't recall.
- If I tell you, she'll come after me.

00:22:06.705 --> 00:22:09.465 align:center
Man, who says Sunny doesn't fall in love?

00:22:09.545 --> 00:22:11.145 align:center
- People just never suspect him!
- No, no.

00:22:12.985 --> 00:22:14.145 align:center
Archana!

00:22:14.225 --> 00:22:18.105 align:center
- People don't suspect him!
- When she was running after Sunny,

00:22:18.185 --> 00:22:20.385 align:center
he was giving her directions
on where to meet!

00:22:21.025 --> 00:22:21.905 align:center
"Follow me!"

00:22:21.985 --> 00:22:24.825 align:center
And look, I'm not talking about Sunny,

00:22:24.905 --> 00:22:29.025 align:center
but in cricket,
there are plenty of dark horses.

00:22:30.265 --> 00:22:32.305 align:center
They do their thing,

00:22:32.385 --> 00:22:34.945 align:center
but then point fingers at others,

00:22:35.025 --> 00:22:37.065 align:center
not realizing three of them
are pointing back at them.

00:22:37.145 --> 00:22:39.505 align:center
- Ravi, are you pointing at him?
- No, no.

00:22:39.585 --> 00:22:41.145 align:center
- Yeah, of course!
- The dark horse!

00:22:41.225 --> 00:22:42.465 align:center
- No, no, no!
- The dark horse!

00:22:42.545 --> 00:22:43.785 align:center
Are you trying to get me divorced?

00:22:47.505 --> 00:22:50.105 align:center
Well, have you all ever noticed

00:22:50.185 --> 00:22:52.785 align:center
how during most
of the iconic moments of our time,

00:22:53.465 --> 00:22:54.825 align:center
it's always Ravi sir commentating?

00:22:54.905 --> 00:22:56.745 align:center
Whether it was Yuvraj Singh's six sixes,

00:22:56.825 --> 00:22:59.705 align:center
or the World Cup-winning shot
in 2007 or 2011.

00:22:59.785 --> 00:23:02.985 align:center
Is it a coincidence, or do you snatch
the mic and shout, "What a shot!"

00:23:03.065 --> 00:23:04.745 align:center
- No…
- You're…

00:23:04.825 --> 00:23:07.185 align:center
It's pure luck, I have to say,

00:23:07.265 --> 00:23:09.985 align:center
because there were
some unforgettable moments,

00:23:10.065 --> 00:23:12.105 align:center
- like Yuvi's six sixes,
- Yes.

00:23:12.185 --> 00:23:13.745 align:center
Dhoni's World Cup-winning six,

00:23:13.825 --> 00:23:16.465 align:center
and most games we've won.

00:23:16.545 --> 00:23:19.665 align:center
That's not in our hands,

00:23:19.745 --> 00:23:22.265 align:center
So I think I've just been lucky.

00:23:22.345 --> 00:23:26.705 align:center
But we do have a few former cricketers
turned commentators

00:23:26.785 --> 00:23:30.745 align:center
who, when a batsman is on 98 or 99 runs--

00:23:31.345 --> 00:23:32.985 align:center
We have two mics set up usually.

00:23:33.585 --> 00:23:36.785 align:center
They snatch the mic
and go, "He's got 100!"

00:23:38.545 --> 00:23:39.545 align:center
He does worse!

00:23:40.185 --> 00:23:42.585 align:center
- Sunny <i>bhai,</i> you mean…
- I won't name names.

00:23:42.665 --> 00:23:44.545 align:center
- Sunny <i>bhai…</i>
- I won't name names.

00:23:44.625 --> 00:23:47.065 align:center
- I won't name names either.
- Yes.

00:23:47.145 --> 00:23:49.225 align:center
But you mimic one commentator really well.

00:23:53.225 --> 00:23:55.265 align:center
Come on, do your Harsha Bhogle impression!

00:23:55.345 --> 00:23:57.105 align:center
- Give it up! Let's hear it!
- Lovely!

00:23:58.345 --> 00:24:00.385 align:center
- Yes, Sunny. Come on!
- Applaud!

00:24:00.465 --> 00:24:02.865 align:center
The first time we were doing commentary,

00:24:03.385 --> 00:24:07.225 align:center
I did an impression
of Harsha in front of Sheru.

00:24:07.865 --> 00:24:10.345 align:center
Told him the way he kicks things off.

00:24:11.105 --> 00:24:13.745 align:center
Before the camera rolls,
there's a countdown…

00:24:13.825 --> 00:24:17.025 align:center
"Ten, nine, eight, seven, six…"
then the cue.

00:24:17.105 --> 00:24:20.385 align:center
So Harsha looked at the camera and went…

00:24:21.145 --> 00:24:22.425 align:center
"Yes, good morning!"

00:24:24.305 --> 00:24:27.065 align:center
The moment he did that,

00:24:27.145 --> 00:24:29.625 align:center
Sheru cracked up and slid under the table!

00:24:29.705 --> 00:24:31.425 align:center
And I was right down there with him!

00:24:32.465 --> 00:24:34.305 align:center
- And that was his very first…
- No commentary came through.

00:24:34.385 --> 00:24:37.385 align:center
- The guy just stood there…
- That was his first day of commentary!

00:24:38.345 --> 00:24:40.305 align:center
So after that, I always…

00:24:42.825 --> 00:24:43.985 align:center
"Good morning!"

00:24:46.625 --> 00:24:49.465 align:center
If you listen to Sunny sir commentate--

00:24:50.185 --> 00:24:51.665 align:center
He's such a formidable batsman

00:24:51.745 --> 00:24:56.705 align:center
that when someone throws their wicket,
he gets furious.

00:24:56.785 --> 00:24:57.945 align:center
"So stupid! What was that?"

00:24:58.785 --> 00:25:00.705 align:center
- I wanted to ask you, Sunny sir…
- Yes.

00:25:00.785 --> 00:25:04.425 align:center
The players get paid by the BCCI.

00:25:04.905 --> 00:25:07.665 align:center
It's not like you paid them
a few lakh rupees to play.

00:25:08.305 --> 00:25:12.385 align:center
And if they get out,
it's not coming out of your pocket.

00:25:12.465 --> 00:25:13.905 align:center
- Right?
- Yes.

00:25:13.985 --> 00:25:15.665 align:center
So, why take it so personally?

00:25:15.745 --> 00:25:17.185 align:center
Because he's playing for our nation,

00:25:17.265 --> 00:25:18.105 align:center
- for India!
- Yes!

00:25:18.185 --> 00:25:19.305 align:center
Yeah!

00:25:22.665 --> 00:25:26.065 align:center
Secondly, when a player has talent,

00:25:26.145 --> 00:25:31.705 align:center
can score runs, and gets out
to a shot like that, it hurts even more.

00:25:31.785 --> 00:25:34.265 align:center
- The expectations are high.
- That's why I get a bit angry.

00:25:34.745 --> 00:25:35.985 align:center
That's the thing.

00:25:37.065 --> 00:25:39.145 align:center
This is Sunny sir as a commentator.

00:25:39.745 --> 00:25:41.665 align:center
- I wonder, back when you were the captain…
- Yes.

00:25:41.745 --> 00:25:45.825 align:center
…and one of your own players got out
to a bad shot right in front of you,

00:25:45.905 --> 00:25:48.145 align:center
was "stupid" still your worst insult?

00:25:48.225 --> 00:25:51.145 align:center
Or did you mete out
some homegrown desi insults, too?

00:25:51.985 --> 00:25:54.425 align:center
Did you ever see him angry?

00:25:54.505 --> 00:25:56.505 align:center
- Oh, boy!
- Oh, he'd get furious!

00:25:56.585 --> 00:26:00.825 align:center
He had a really short temper,
you have no idea!

00:26:00.905 --> 00:26:03.225 align:center
And do you know when he'd lose it?

00:26:04.105 --> 00:26:08.105 align:center
Whenever we went for a match,
we'd be on the team bus.

00:26:09.025 --> 00:26:11.385 align:center
When getting off the bus,

00:26:11.465 --> 00:26:13.265 align:center
if there was a cameraman there

00:26:13.785 --> 00:26:16.545 align:center
and his flash went off,

00:26:17.425 --> 00:26:18.825 align:center
that was it!

00:26:18.905 --> 00:26:22.745 align:center
The camera and the guy were done for!
He'd slap him!

00:26:22.825 --> 00:26:26.025 align:center
When Sandeep Patil and I
would be in the back

00:26:26.105 --> 00:26:29.025 align:center
and spot two or three cameramen
with their flashes,

00:26:29.105 --> 00:26:30.465 align:center
I'd say, "This is going to be fun."

00:26:30.545 --> 00:26:32.145 align:center
"He's going to lose his temper."

00:26:32.225 --> 00:26:35.305 align:center
- But why the flash specifically?
- It got in his eyes.

00:26:35.985 --> 00:26:39.265 align:center
I mean, at night,
where there's no light, I get it.

00:26:39.345 --> 00:26:41.825 align:center
- You can use flash there.
- But why in daylight, though?

00:26:41.905 --> 00:26:44.265 align:center
In daylight--
Because we're going out to bat,

00:26:44.345 --> 00:26:46.185 align:center
facing fast bowling.

00:26:46.265 --> 00:26:49.985 align:center
When they used the flash,
it messed with your eyes.

00:26:50.065 --> 00:26:52.185 align:center
- How do you face fast bowling then?
- The flash blindness will persist.

00:26:52.265 --> 00:26:53.745 align:center
I've seen him get mad.

00:26:53.825 --> 00:26:58.065 align:center
If anyone blocked the sight screen
while Sunny <i>bhai</i> was batting,

00:26:59.225 --> 00:27:01.745 align:center
I'm telling you, he would curse--

00:27:01.825 --> 00:27:04.185 align:center
People would be shaken to the core.

00:27:04.265 --> 00:27:06.945 align:center
Whenever he blew up,
he blew up like a volcano!

00:27:07.025 --> 00:27:11.465 align:center
Look, Sachin Tendulkar learned
a lot from Gavaskar.

00:27:11.545 --> 00:27:15.025 align:center
He watched him growing up.
Both are masters.

00:27:15.825 --> 00:27:17.745 align:center
With this, too. Even Sachin Tendulkar.

00:27:17.825 --> 00:27:19.825 align:center
- If he saw anything blocking--
- Anything moving…

00:27:19.905 --> 00:27:22.145 align:center
- If anything moved, that was it!
- Yeah.

00:27:22.225 --> 00:27:23.745 align:center
They'd lose their minds.

00:27:23.825 --> 00:27:26.305 align:center
And the things they spot,

00:27:26.385 --> 00:27:28.705 align:center
- no one else even sees.
- I didn't either!

00:27:28.785 --> 00:27:32.545 align:center
I mean, they could spot a rat
from that far!

00:27:33.505 --> 00:27:35.345 align:center
Even if a rat moved…

00:27:35.945 --> 00:27:37.465 align:center
- "Hey! Clear it!"
- Ravi <i>bhaiya!</i>

00:27:37.985 --> 00:27:39.785 align:center
Well said!

00:27:39.865 --> 00:27:42.185 align:center
Since we're on sight screens,

00:27:42.265 --> 00:27:44.425 align:center
you know how tall Sachin and I are,

00:27:44.505 --> 00:27:45.825 align:center
and how tall he is.

00:27:45.905 --> 00:27:47.305 align:center
When we'd play like this,

00:27:47.865 --> 00:27:51.625 align:center
we saw the fast bowler
from a different angle.

00:27:51.705 --> 00:27:55.385 align:center
If someone were to block that view,
it would distract us.

00:27:55.465 --> 00:27:57.745 align:center
Now if I were as tall as him,

00:27:57.825 --> 00:28:00.745 align:center
the bowler's arm would be
covered by the sight screen.

00:28:00.825 --> 00:28:02.465 align:center
- Oh!
- So he always had a clear view.

00:28:02.545 --> 00:28:04.225 align:center
- Technical!
- It's technical.

00:28:04.905 --> 00:28:06.145 align:center
That's the difference.

00:28:10.865 --> 00:28:12.785 align:center
We hear Ravi sir also
loses his cool sometimes.

00:28:12.865 --> 00:28:14.385 align:center
I heard that when you were the coach,

00:28:14.465 --> 00:28:17.345 align:center
you scolded Mohammed Shami
over having biryani.

00:28:17.425 --> 00:28:18.785 align:center
Why? Did he steal yours?

00:28:21.145 --> 00:28:24.745 align:center
- No, the match was on the line.
- I see.

00:28:24.825 --> 00:28:27.945 align:center
South Africa needed about 100 runs,

00:28:28.025 --> 00:28:31.585 align:center
with eight wickets in hand.
The players came in at lunch.

00:28:31.665 --> 00:28:34.505 align:center
I walked in and saw them having lunch,

00:28:34.585 --> 00:28:36.945 align:center
and Shami's belly was bursting
after wolfing down so much biryani.

00:28:37.625 --> 00:28:40.345 align:center
I told the bowling coach, "Get over here."

00:28:40.425 --> 00:28:45.865 align:center
"Go tell him, 'You have to bowl,
and you ate all that biryani?'"

00:28:48.065 --> 00:28:53.105 align:center
"If he asked who wants to know,
say my name and take it away."

00:28:53.185 --> 00:28:54.465 align:center
Shami was furious.

00:28:54.545 --> 00:28:55.545 align:center
He went on to bowl

00:28:55.625 --> 00:28:58.985 align:center
and took five wickets in six overs!

00:28:59.065 --> 00:29:01.265 align:center
- Wow!
- India won the match!

00:29:02.825 --> 00:29:04.665 align:center
Back in the locker room--

00:29:04.745 --> 00:29:06.385 align:center
Bharat Arun was our bowling coach.

00:29:06.465 --> 00:29:10.385 align:center
I told him to take some nice
and hot biryani to him

00:29:10.465 --> 00:29:11.785 align:center
and say, "Shami <i>ji,</i> here you go."

00:29:13.145 --> 00:29:14.105 align:center
"You can have your fill!"

00:29:14.185 --> 00:29:16.025 align:center
And Shami's reply?

00:29:16.105 --> 00:29:19.385 align:center
"Yeah, sometimes, you have to get me mad."

00:29:37.225 --> 00:29:38.385 align:center
Donald Trump!

00:30:01.945 --> 00:30:03.945 align:center
<i>Namaste,</i> India!

00:30:04.665 --> 00:30:06.185 align:center
<i>Namaste!</i>

00:30:07.665 --> 00:30:10.025 align:center
<i>Namaste,</i> Netflix!

00:30:10.105 --> 00:30:11.625 align:center
<i>Namaste!</i>

00:30:11.705 --> 00:30:14.425 align:center
The OGs of cricket,

00:30:14.505 --> 00:30:19.585 align:center
Mr. Sunil Gavaskar!

00:30:19.665 --> 00:30:21.385 align:center
Gavaskar…

00:30:22.385 --> 00:30:26.065 align:center
Mr. Ravi Shastri!

00:30:28.185 --> 00:30:31.985 align:center
Navjot Singh Sidhu!

00:30:32.065 --> 00:30:34.105 align:center
You butchered them.

00:30:34.185 --> 00:30:36.225 align:center
And of course, I know you.

00:30:37.465 --> 00:30:40.025 align:center
Her name sounds like a snack!

00:30:41.585 --> 00:30:44.185 align:center
On the beach today,
the hawkers were yelling,

00:30:44.265 --> 00:30:48.465 align:center
"Archana Puran Singh!
Archana Puran Singh!"

00:30:49.865 --> 00:30:51.945 align:center
"Archana Puran--" I know you.

00:30:53.025 --> 00:30:54.625 align:center
- Sir…
- I know you.

00:30:54.705 --> 00:30:56.985 align:center
- Sir--
- No more questions. Get out!

00:30:57.065 --> 00:30:58.585 align:center
We didn't ask you anything yet!

00:30:58.665 --> 00:31:00.985 align:center
What country's president are you?

00:31:01.065 --> 00:31:02.385 align:center
No, sir, I'm just a reporter.

00:31:02.465 --> 00:31:04.705 align:center
Then don't get so comfortable! Scram!

00:31:05.625 --> 00:31:07.105 align:center
Get lost!

00:31:11.625 --> 00:31:14.465 align:center
- You know, I have a cricket team.
- Okay.

00:31:14.545 --> 00:31:17.105 align:center
And I need a coach for it.

00:31:17.185 --> 00:31:18.025 align:center
- I see.
- Okay.

00:31:18.105 --> 00:31:21.665 align:center
- So I'm here to buy a coach. Yes.
- Okay.

00:31:22.265 --> 00:31:24.185 align:center
So, what's your best price?

00:31:25.825 --> 00:31:28.065 align:center
Give me a good deal.

00:31:29.505 --> 00:31:31.745 align:center
And I'll come back to you again.

00:31:31.825 --> 00:31:32.905 align:center
Don't worry.

00:31:32.985 --> 00:31:35.665 align:center
Did you forget to switch
your brain to roaming?

00:31:35.745 --> 00:31:38.025 align:center
- That's not how it works.
- Why not?

00:31:39.145 --> 00:31:41.585 align:center
- I learned another thing in India.
- What?

00:31:46.585 --> 00:31:47.585 align:center
What's this?

00:31:47.665 --> 00:31:49.865 align:center
- Take off your clothes.
- Why?

00:31:51.025 --> 00:31:52.065 align:center
Why take off clothes?

00:31:52.145 --> 00:31:55.505 align:center
Don't get me wrong. Open the briefcase.

00:31:56.105 --> 00:31:57.305 align:center
I want to butter you up.

00:31:58.305 --> 00:31:59.185 align:center
What do you mean?

00:31:59.265 --> 00:32:02.505 align:center
I heard that to win someone over in India,

00:32:02.585 --> 00:32:04.225 align:center
you have to butter them up.

00:32:05.745 --> 00:32:07.705 align:center
That's an idiom.
You don't use actual butter.

00:32:07.785 --> 00:32:09.905 align:center
- This doesn't work?
- Nope.

00:32:11.905 --> 00:32:14.745 align:center
You wasted butter worth 250 rupees
for a two-bit punchline!

00:32:16.145 --> 00:32:18.065 align:center
This is going to be tough.

00:32:18.145 --> 00:32:21.065 align:center
Putin already gave us some from Russia.

00:32:21.145 --> 00:32:22.465 align:center
- Really?
- Yes.

00:32:22.545 --> 00:32:25.505 align:center
Then I'll invite someone bigger
to the stage.

00:32:27.305 --> 00:32:28.425 align:center
Hello!

00:32:28.505 --> 00:32:29.905 align:center
Yeah, my friend.

00:32:30.545 --> 00:32:31.825 align:center
Plan A flopped.

00:32:31.905 --> 00:32:34.265 align:center
Yes, come fast for Plan B.

00:32:34.345 --> 00:32:36.025 align:center
I'm waiting, man. Come.

00:32:54.985 --> 00:32:56.105 align:center
Doland!

00:32:56.185 --> 00:32:59.225 align:center
- Doland!
- Doland, Doland, Doland!

00:32:59.305 --> 00:33:02.105 align:center
Tell me, did they agree or not?

00:33:02.185 --> 00:33:04.425 align:center
No, they are stubborn.

00:33:04.505 --> 00:33:06.345 align:center
Plan B!

00:33:07.185 --> 00:33:09.385 align:center
I'll execute Plan B,

00:33:10.185 --> 00:33:13.665 align:center
but once Plan B starts,
I won't be able to stop it.

00:33:13.745 --> 00:33:14.905 align:center
Will you do?

00:33:14.985 --> 00:33:16.785 align:center
- Are you ready?
- Yes!

00:33:23.025 --> 00:33:24.985 align:center
What a weak soldier!

00:33:25.985 --> 00:33:28.145 align:center
- Are you ready?!
- Yes!

00:33:28.225 --> 00:33:29.385 align:center
That's how you say it.

00:33:30.185 --> 00:33:32.425 align:center
You've heard people say,

00:33:33.065 --> 00:33:35.665 align:center
"Soft words butter no parsnips."

00:33:36.585 --> 00:33:40.305 align:center
I need to take action.

00:33:41.065 --> 00:33:43.785 align:center
Please be our coach, for God's sake!

00:33:46.345 --> 00:33:50.745 align:center
Please, for the love of God,
become our coach!

00:33:50.825 --> 00:33:52.865 align:center
You'll be prosperous by God's grace!

00:33:52.945 --> 00:33:55.305 align:center
Yes, you'll be prosperous by God's grace!

00:33:56.385 --> 00:33:58.545 align:center
You'll get so many blessings.

00:33:58.625 --> 00:34:00.945 align:center
You'll get so many blessings!

00:34:01.025 --> 00:34:03.305 align:center
- May your busi--
- Wait a minute!

00:34:04.865 --> 00:34:06.145 align:center
You also need a coach, don't you?

00:34:06.225 --> 00:34:08.105 align:center
Then you ask! Why make me do it?

00:34:08.185 --> 00:34:11.225 align:center
Doing all this doesn't look great on me.
Suits you, though.

00:34:11.945 --> 00:34:12.865 align:center
Carry on.

00:34:13.824 --> 00:34:14.665 align:center
Wait a minute!

00:34:16.744 --> 00:34:19.545 align:center
Doland! Wait a second. Hold on.

00:34:20.505 --> 00:34:21.385 align:center
Here!

00:34:22.065 --> 00:34:24.665 align:center
You won't believe this. Look!

00:34:24.744 --> 00:34:27.665 align:center
I even brought you some <i>papad!</i>

00:34:28.665 --> 00:34:31.505 align:center
Wait… why did you bring <i>papad?</i>

00:34:31.585 --> 00:34:32.985 align:center
Didn't you say

00:34:33.065 --> 00:34:36.145 align:center
we'll need to roll out a lot of <i>papads</i>
to convince them?

00:34:39.105 --> 00:34:40.625 align:center
You idiot!

00:34:41.185 --> 00:34:42.744 align:center
It's an idiom!

00:34:43.545 --> 00:34:47.105 align:center
Buttering someone up doesn't mean

00:34:47.185 --> 00:34:48.865 align:center
you literally smear butter on them!

00:34:48.945 --> 00:34:51.225 align:center
Oh, right!

00:34:51.304 --> 00:34:53.625 align:center
Well, I know that one's an idiom.

00:34:54.425 --> 00:34:59.304 align:center
Only an idiot would actually bring butter
to butter someone up!

00:35:04.745 --> 00:35:07.785 align:center
Talk about the head coach position.
It's very important.

00:35:07.865 --> 00:35:08.705 align:center
Then do it!

00:35:08.785 --> 00:35:11.145 align:center
I think we should sit and talk this out.

00:35:11.225 --> 00:35:12.665 align:center
Let's do this.

00:35:12.745 --> 00:35:16.105 align:center
I'll sit on Ravi Shastri,
and you sit on Sunil Gavaskar.

00:35:18.705 --> 00:35:21.505 align:center
- You fool, not "on" them!
- So?

00:35:21.585 --> 00:35:25.025 align:center
We need to sit with them and talk.
Come on, man!

00:35:25.105 --> 00:35:26.465 align:center
Sit with them?

00:35:26.545 --> 00:35:28.385 align:center
- Should we order some food?
- Sure.

00:35:28.465 --> 00:35:32.065 align:center
Our Korean Hyderabadi biryani
is quite popular.

00:35:34.545 --> 00:35:36.545 align:center
Should I order Korean Hyderabadi biryani?

00:35:36.625 --> 00:35:38.385 align:center
- Order it.
- You'll eat too, right?

00:35:38.465 --> 00:35:40.065 align:center
I will, but wait.

00:35:40.145 --> 00:35:44.025 align:center
I want only the rice
and gravy for me, no pieces.

00:35:44.105 --> 00:35:46.105 align:center
- Why no pieces?
- Because, you know,

00:35:46.185 --> 00:35:48.425 align:center
I don't like peace!

00:35:53.745 --> 00:35:56.185 align:center
- Wow!
- Yes!

00:35:56.265 --> 00:35:58.465 align:center
By that logic,

00:35:58.545 --> 00:36:01.385 align:center
I should order double <i>raita</i> for you,

00:36:01.465 --> 00:36:05.065 align:center
since you love making a mess!

00:36:10.985 --> 00:36:12.185 align:center
I think…

00:36:13.025 --> 00:36:16.785 align:center
it's our rich faces
that won't melt their hearts.

00:36:16.865 --> 00:36:19.825 align:center
- No?
- Call some poor people.

00:36:19.905 --> 00:36:21.985 align:center
Yeah, that can be done.

00:36:22.065 --> 00:36:24.585 align:center
You haven't met my cricket team yet.

00:36:24.665 --> 00:36:26.905 align:center
Hey! Team, come in!

00:36:35.585 --> 00:36:38.545 align:center
Sir, as you can see, here's…

00:36:39.185 --> 00:36:40.425 align:center
Bless you, bless you, bless you.

00:36:41.185 --> 00:36:44.625 align:center
These poor, sad folks are my team.

00:36:44.705 --> 00:36:46.705 align:center
Sad because they don't have a coach.

00:36:46.785 --> 00:36:48.265 align:center
And Ravi <i>ji,</i>

00:36:48.345 --> 00:36:50.625 align:center
once you've trained them,

00:36:50.705 --> 00:36:53.345 align:center
I'll take classical music lessons
from you.

00:36:54.945 --> 00:36:56.345 align:center
Classical music from him?

00:36:56.425 --> 00:36:58.185 align:center
Well, he's Ravi Shastri.

00:36:58.265 --> 00:37:01.665 align:center
Whatever music he teaches
would be classical music!

00:37:07.385 --> 00:37:09.065 align:center
Sir, I've seen

00:37:09.145 --> 00:37:12.825 align:center
that you've trained the likes
of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma,

00:37:12.905 --> 00:37:14.065 align:center
so do one thing, sir.

00:37:14.145 --> 00:37:19.025 align:center
Just add a little pinch
of Virat Kohli into this player.

00:37:19.865 --> 00:37:22.425 align:center
And toss in a little bit
of Rohit Sharma too.

00:37:22.505 --> 00:37:23.825 align:center
You got Bumrah too, right?

00:37:24.505 --> 00:37:26.505 align:center
Bumrah? Okay, do this.

00:37:26.585 --> 00:37:30.025 align:center
Just sprinkle a little Bumrah
on top of everyone.

00:37:30.745 --> 00:37:33.625 align:center
You need to make them players, not snacks!

00:37:33.705 --> 00:37:36.865 align:center
"A pinch of this, a pinch of that!"

00:37:37.545 --> 00:37:41.105 align:center
Tell them
about your players' capabilities!

00:37:41.185 --> 00:37:43.945 align:center
Sir, do you doubt
my players' capabilities?

00:37:44.025 --> 00:37:45.745 align:center
- Yes.
- Look at these two.

00:37:45.825 --> 00:37:48.545 align:center
These are my opening batsmen.

00:37:48.625 --> 00:37:50.985 align:center
Him? He's my team's bowler.

00:37:51.625 --> 00:37:54.025 align:center
This is my team's wicketkeeper.

00:37:54.105 --> 00:37:55.385 align:center
There you go!

00:37:55.465 --> 00:37:57.025 align:center
Wait a second, who's that?

00:37:57.105 --> 00:37:58.745 align:center
Oh, him! Come here, come here.

00:37:59.625 --> 00:38:02.065 align:center
He's my team's umpire.

00:38:03.785 --> 00:38:05.065 align:center
You dimwit!

00:38:06.425 --> 00:38:09.345 align:center
An umpire isn't on the team.
He's an official.

00:38:10.145 --> 00:38:11.145 align:center
Yes.

00:38:16.465 --> 00:38:17.305 align:center
Sir, really?

00:38:17.945 --> 00:38:19.825 align:center
A team doesn't have its own umpire?

00:38:21.425 --> 00:38:23.825 align:center
- So this player is wasted?
- Obviously!

00:38:26.185 --> 00:38:27.465 align:center
Oh, God!

00:38:30.505 --> 00:38:31.585 align:center
Come here.

00:38:36.785 --> 00:38:37.905 align:center
Oh, my God.

00:38:37.985 --> 00:38:39.945 align:center
You shot your own player?

00:38:40.025 --> 00:38:42.745 align:center
The player who got shot
isn't saying a word.

00:38:47.705 --> 00:38:49.385 align:center
He's just lying there!

00:38:49.465 --> 00:38:50.945 align:center
What's your problem?

00:38:51.785 --> 00:38:52.985 align:center
Don't worry, sir.

00:38:53.065 --> 00:38:56.705 align:center
Now let me introduce our team's batsman.
Come on!

00:38:57.345 --> 00:39:00.025 align:center
He's our team's number one batsman.

00:39:00.105 --> 00:39:01.505 align:center
Just one problem, sir.

00:39:01.585 --> 00:39:04.105 align:center
- What?
- Both his legs are fake.

00:39:05.465 --> 00:39:08.265 align:center
If they're fake, how will he run?

00:39:08.345 --> 00:39:09.625 align:center
He won't be able to play cricket!

00:39:09.705 --> 00:39:12.025 align:center
- He can't play?
- Yeah! How will he play?

00:39:12.865 --> 00:39:15.105 align:center
- So he's a waste too?
- Yes.

00:39:15.185 --> 00:39:16.625 align:center
Come here.

00:39:18.505 --> 00:39:20.985 align:center
Oh, God!

00:39:21.065 --> 00:39:23.225 align:center
Hey! Hey!

00:39:23.305 --> 00:39:25.465 align:center
Dying is fine,
but at least keep some distance!

00:39:26.745 --> 00:39:28.385 align:center
He's sleeping. He's sleeping.

00:39:29.625 --> 00:39:30.625 align:center
Hey!

00:39:33.305 --> 00:39:35.305 align:center
Dead bodies don't move!

00:39:36.905 --> 00:39:37.825 align:center
Lie like this!

00:39:41.465 --> 00:39:42.745 align:center
No, no…

00:39:44.305 --> 00:39:46.225 align:center
I'll introduce my next player.

00:39:46.305 --> 00:39:48.265 align:center
This is our bowler.

00:39:48.345 --> 00:39:49.705 align:center
Sir, I'm the bowler.

00:39:49.785 --> 00:39:51.025 align:center
Then why did you step forward?

00:39:58.065 --> 00:40:00.665 align:center
Dying is fine, but learn how to fall!

00:40:01.665 --> 00:40:02.705 align:center
It's fine.

00:40:02.785 --> 00:40:04.065 align:center
So, you're the bowler.

00:40:05.225 --> 00:40:06.865 align:center
Now show everyone some bowling.

00:40:06.945 --> 00:40:09.585 align:center
Sir, you killed both batsmen.

00:40:09.665 --> 00:40:10.745 align:center
Who do I bowl to?

00:40:10.825 --> 00:40:12.865 align:center
- So he's a waste too?
- Yes.

00:40:21.545 --> 00:40:22.385 align:center
Hey!

00:40:23.745 --> 00:40:25.785 align:center
Why did you shoot this guy now?

00:40:25.865 --> 00:40:28.665 align:center
If everyone's dead,
what will the wicketkeeper do?

00:40:36.265 --> 00:40:37.105 align:center
Idiot!

00:40:41.505 --> 00:40:44.225 align:center
Why are all my players on vibration mode?

00:40:46.065 --> 00:40:49.185 align:center
Wait, you killed everyone?

00:40:49.265 --> 00:40:50.585 align:center
What happens now?

00:40:52.625 --> 00:40:53.945 align:center
There's one bullet left.

00:40:58.785 --> 00:41:01.025 align:center
- No, no! Listen!
- Let go!

00:41:01.105 --> 00:41:03.225 align:center
Hey, get up! Get up!

00:41:03.305 --> 00:41:05.985 align:center
Catch him! Catch him! Catch him!

00:41:07.425 --> 00:41:10.065 align:center
And you all can catch me. Go on.

00:41:10.145 --> 00:41:11.225 align:center
Okay, I'll see you.

00:41:17.905 --> 00:41:20.305 align:center
Now, everyone in our country
loves cricket,

00:41:20.385 --> 00:41:21.985 align:center
but let's go the other way.

00:41:22.785 --> 00:41:26.185 align:center
Do we have anybody here

00:41:26.265 --> 00:41:28.145 align:center
who has problems because of cricket?

00:41:29.105 --> 00:41:30.305 align:center
Yes, ma'am. Hello, <i>namaste.</i>

00:41:30.385 --> 00:41:31.865 align:center
- Hello, Kapil sir. Hello, Sunil sir.
- How are you?

00:41:31.945 --> 00:41:33.985 align:center
Good. I'm Suprita.

00:41:34.065 --> 00:41:35.185 align:center
Hello, Suprita <i>ji.</i>

00:41:35.265 --> 00:41:37.505 align:center
No hard feelings toward cricket,

00:41:37.585 --> 00:41:40.345 align:center
- but I have a problem with it.
- What?

00:41:40.425 --> 00:41:43.545 align:center
It's my husband and my son.

00:41:43.625 --> 00:41:45.945 align:center
They're both crazy about cricket.

00:41:46.025 --> 00:41:47.905 align:center
- Here's a story.
- Yes.

00:41:47.985 --> 00:41:49.305 align:center
My son had an exam the next day.

00:41:49.385 --> 00:41:53.505 align:center
The IPL was on,
and my husband turned it on full volume.

00:41:53.585 --> 00:41:55.785 align:center
So he wasn't studying all day,
and I kept pestering him.

00:41:55.865 --> 00:41:58.185 align:center
It was getting late,
and he still hadn't studied.

00:41:58.265 --> 00:41:59.865 align:center
So I lost it.

00:41:59.945 --> 00:42:01.905 align:center
So, he took a nice beating from me.

00:42:01.985 --> 00:42:03.465 align:center
- The son got beaten, or his father?
- The son.

00:42:03.545 --> 00:42:04.625 align:center
I see.

00:42:05.305 --> 00:42:06.625 align:center
- My son got a beating.
- Alright.

00:42:06.705 --> 00:42:09.825 align:center
And he screamed so loudly--
I mean, from his room.

00:42:09.905 --> 00:42:10.985 align:center
The TV turned off by itself.

00:42:11.065 --> 00:42:14.865 align:center
Since that day, I realized that
if you want the TV or cricket off--

00:42:14.945 --> 00:42:16.585 align:center
- A nice thrashing.
- Yes, exactly.

00:42:17.825 --> 00:42:20.145 align:center
- So that happens.
- Is your husband here?

00:42:20.225 --> 00:42:21.145 align:center
No, not today.

00:42:21.225 --> 00:42:22.345 align:center
- Did your son come?
- No.

00:42:22.425 --> 00:42:23.585 align:center
Are both of them watching the match?

00:42:25.425 --> 00:42:27.265 align:center
- You have one son?
- Yeah, one.

00:42:27.345 --> 00:42:28.945 align:center
So, your husband started
watching cricket after that?

00:42:29.025 --> 00:42:30.545 align:center
- No, he was already into cricket.
- Okay.

00:42:30.625 --> 00:42:33.385 align:center
Well, his name--
As you said, you were named Kapil.

00:42:33.465 --> 00:42:34.425 align:center
His name is Kapil too.

00:42:34.505 --> 00:42:35.985 align:center
- Really?
- So after-- Yes.

00:42:36.065 --> 00:42:37.945 align:center
- Your husband's name?
- It's Kapil.

00:42:38.025 --> 00:42:41.185 align:center
And his nickname is Sunny,
so he's crazy about cricket.

00:42:41.265 --> 00:42:43.105 align:center
Thank you so much, ma'am!

00:42:43.185 --> 00:42:45.065 align:center
Anyone else want to share their thoughts…

00:42:45.145 --> 00:42:47.225 align:center
Give him the mic. Where are you from, sir?

00:42:48.105 --> 00:42:51.425 align:center
I've also lived in
Jalandhar, Punjab, for six months.

00:42:51.505 --> 00:42:52.865 align:center
In jail?

00:42:53.505 --> 00:42:54.745 align:center
I see!

00:42:54.825 --> 00:42:57.545 align:center
- I don't do that kind of work.
- No, no, fair enough.

00:42:57.625 --> 00:42:58.865 align:center
- I don't do--
- That's our job, right?

00:42:58.945 --> 00:43:00.105 align:center
We have to spin jokes--

00:43:00.185 --> 00:43:02.505 align:center
- They hold my check, sir. What can I do?
- No, no. It's okay.

00:43:02.585 --> 00:43:04.665 align:center
Whenever we get serious,
they corner us and say--

00:43:04.745 --> 00:43:05.745 align:center
- One thing.
- Yes, sir?

00:43:05.825 --> 00:43:08.585 align:center
There are 1.4 billion people in India,

00:43:09.185 --> 00:43:10.905 align:center
- and you--
- Those are only the registered ones.

00:43:10.985 --> 00:43:12.745 align:center
Who reported having a kid.
Many are just going at it!

00:43:12.825 --> 00:43:16.105 align:center
No, you're a fine man

00:43:16.185 --> 00:43:18.025 align:center
who makes the entire nation laugh.

00:43:18.105 --> 00:43:20.985 align:center
Even next door in Nepal and Bangladesh,
our show airs everywhere.

00:43:21.065 --> 00:43:24.305 align:center
- It might, but every Indian…
- Yes.

00:43:24.385 --> 00:43:28.145 align:center
watches the clock to see
when Kapil Sharma <i>ji's</i> show is on.

00:43:28.225 --> 00:43:30.105 align:center
They're stressed at home,

00:43:30.185 --> 00:43:33.065 align:center
but watching your show
takes their tension away.

00:43:33.145 --> 00:43:35.945 align:center
And the moment it ends,
the tension returns!

00:43:36.025 --> 00:43:39.025 align:center
- Thank you, thank you, sir!
- Thank you, Kapil <i>bhai.</i> Thank you.

00:43:39.105 --> 00:43:40.785 align:center
You said you lived
in Jalandhar for six months.

00:43:40.865 --> 00:43:43.385 align:center
I asked where you were originally from.
Where were you born?

00:43:43.465 --> 00:43:45.625 align:center
How did you manifest on Earth?

00:43:46.305 --> 00:43:47.225 align:center
No, I just meant…

00:43:47.305 --> 00:43:50.065 align:center
That's not it.
Everyone manifests on Earth.

00:43:50.145 --> 00:43:52.825 align:center
Right, but on which part
of the Earth did you manifest?

00:43:52.905 --> 00:43:55.305 align:center
The same Earth. Yours, mine, theirs.

00:43:55.385 --> 00:43:56.905 align:center
- No, I mean in India--
- It's everyone's Earth.

00:43:56.985 --> 00:43:58.945 align:center
Where in India were you born?

00:44:00.225 --> 00:44:02.785 align:center
- Oh, sir…
- I mean…

00:44:03.465 --> 00:44:04.625 align:center
Hear me out.

00:44:05.425 --> 00:44:08.865 align:center
Kapil. Kapil <i>bhai,</i> Kapil sir…

00:44:08.945 --> 00:44:10.345 align:center
- Yes.
- …this Earth belongs to all of us.

00:44:10.425 --> 00:44:12.385 align:center
- Yes, I understand, my Lord.
- It belongs to everyone.

00:44:12.465 --> 00:44:14.745 align:center
O Lord, I understand! I got it.

00:44:14.825 --> 00:44:16.145 align:center
What I'm trying to ask is,

00:44:17.065 --> 00:44:20.265 align:center
like Jammu and Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh…

00:44:20.345 --> 00:44:22.905 align:center
- Well--
- …Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh,

00:44:22.985 --> 00:44:26.065 align:center
Calicut, Madras, where are you from?

00:44:27.625 --> 00:44:29.745 align:center
I am originally from Udaipur.

00:44:29.825 --> 00:44:31.105 align:center
- Udaipur! Oh, wow!
- Yes.

00:44:32.745 --> 00:44:33.985 align:center
It's a gorgeous city.

00:44:34.065 --> 00:44:37.065 align:center
You're really interesting, sir.
It was a pleasure talking to you.

00:44:37.145 --> 00:44:38.505 align:center
Thank you. Thanks.

00:44:40.425 --> 00:44:42.785 align:center
Anyone else want to be on TV?

00:44:44.145 --> 00:44:45.465 align:center
Junior Kishore Kumar <i>sahab,</i> yes.

00:44:46.065 --> 00:44:47.225 align:center
<i>Namaste.</i>

00:44:48.185 --> 00:44:50.385 align:center
I'm Hemant Gadkari from Nagpur,

00:44:50.465 --> 00:44:53.385 align:center
and my question is for Sunny sir,

00:44:53.465 --> 00:44:55.145 align:center
because back then,

00:44:55.225 --> 00:44:58.145 align:center
he scored his only century
in a One Day International.

00:44:58.225 --> 00:45:03.385 align:center
He scored that century in just 88 balls,
making 103 runs

00:45:03.465 --> 00:45:05.265 align:center
with ten boundaries and three sixes.

00:45:05.865 --> 00:45:08.945 align:center
And India won that match,

00:45:09.025 --> 00:45:12.945 align:center
yet right after playing so well,
Sunny sir, you retired immediately

00:45:13.025 --> 00:45:14.985 align:center
and broke millions of hearts.

00:45:15.065 --> 00:45:16.945 align:center
Not 88 balls, 85 balls.

00:45:17.585 --> 00:45:20.385 align:center
- 103…
- Eighty-five balls.

00:45:20.465 --> 00:45:23.825 align:center
- And my second question is--
- At least get the answer to the first!

00:45:26.665 --> 00:45:27.745 align:center
Sir, please speak.

00:45:27.825 --> 00:45:29.665 align:center
Say what? You didn't even ask a question.

00:45:29.745 --> 00:45:33.625 align:center
Why did you break millions of hearts?
Why did you retire so early?

00:45:33.705 --> 00:45:35.385 align:center
I asked that when I walked in.

00:45:35.465 --> 00:45:38.385 align:center
He scored 103 runs,
and then just a few days later…

00:45:38.465 --> 00:45:39.385 align:center
Calm down, my Lord, calm down!

00:45:45.305 --> 00:45:46.705 align:center
Sir, my next question is that

00:45:46.785 --> 00:45:50.465 align:center
you acted
in the Marathi film <i>Savli Premachi.</i>

00:45:50.545 --> 00:45:51.625 align:center
- Oh, right!
- After that--

00:45:51.705 --> 00:45:55.185 align:center
After that, did you…
not get another movie,

00:45:55.265 --> 00:45:57.465 align:center
- or were you not interested?
- Oh, boy!

00:46:01.025 --> 00:46:02.025 align:center
Sunny sir, what's this?

00:46:02.745 --> 00:46:04.025 align:center
Another film…

00:46:04.105 --> 00:46:06.345 align:center
Seriously? I haven't seen it.
I'll definitely go watch it.

00:46:06.425 --> 00:46:08.625 align:center
- You acted in it?
- Yes, absolutely.

00:46:08.705 --> 00:46:11.105 align:center
- Wow.
- A Marathi film, <i>Savli Premachi.</i>

00:46:11.185 --> 00:46:12.025 align:center
Okay.

00:46:12.105 --> 00:46:15.465 align:center
Then <i>Maalamaal</i> in Hindi,
with Naseeruddin Shah <i>sahab.</i>

00:46:15.545 --> 00:46:17.705 align:center
- Okay.
- He was the lead in it.

00:46:18.425 --> 00:46:22.825 align:center
And my role in it was
playing Sunil Gavaskar.

00:46:22.905 --> 00:46:23.945 align:center
Okay, okay.

00:46:24.025 --> 00:46:27.065 align:center
The hardest thing is playing yourself.

00:46:27.145 --> 00:46:30.905 align:center
If someone tells me to play
Kapil Sharma, I can do it.

00:46:30.985 --> 00:46:33.825 align:center
But I can't play Sunil Gavaskar.

00:46:33.905 --> 00:46:36.065 align:center
I also heard something else
about Sunny sir.

00:46:36.145 --> 00:46:38.985 align:center
That before cricket,
you wanted to be a wrestler?

00:46:39.065 --> 00:46:40.545 align:center
Like, you thought about it?

00:46:40.625 --> 00:46:42.785 align:center
- No.
- I heard about it online.

00:46:42.865 --> 00:46:44.905 align:center
No, I was just going to watch it.

00:46:44.985 --> 00:46:46.265 align:center
- Oh, you were just a fan?
- Yes.

00:46:46.345 --> 00:46:47.905 align:center
Wild questions crossed my mind.

00:46:47.985 --> 00:46:51.985 align:center
Like, he plays cricket
without a helmet, so…

00:46:54.385 --> 00:46:56.145 align:center
I mean…

00:46:56.225 --> 00:46:57.625 align:center
Right, wrestlers don't wear them.

00:46:58.665 --> 00:47:00.745 align:center
Ravi and Sunny, both of you,
what do you think

00:47:00.825 --> 00:47:05.545 align:center
about wives and partners
being allowed to travel on tour?

00:47:05.625 --> 00:47:09.745 align:center
Is it better for cricket and cricketers,
or should they not be allowed?

00:47:09.825 --> 00:47:11.665 align:center
I started that trend.

00:47:11.745 --> 00:47:15.545 align:center
I took my wife everywhere with me,
on every single tour.

00:47:15.625 --> 00:47:16.665 align:center
I had an advantage.

00:47:16.745 --> 00:47:22.265 align:center
Back then, only the captain
and vice-captain got their own rooms.

00:47:22.345 --> 00:47:23.665 align:center
Everyone else shared rooms.

00:47:23.745 --> 00:47:28.185 align:center
When I was the vice-captain,
she could stay with me.

00:47:28.265 --> 00:47:33.185 align:center
Later, when I lost the captaincy,
I had to share rooms, too.

00:47:33.265 --> 00:47:36.305 align:center
So I would ask my roommate,

00:47:36.385 --> 00:47:38.265 align:center
"My wife is coming over,
so can you room with…"

00:47:38.345 --> 00:47:40.745 align:center
- Can you bunk with someone else?
- "Can you adjust?"

00:47:40.825 --> 00:47:43.825 align:center
He'd say, "Yes, I don't mind."
Whom did I go to next?

00:47:43.905 --> 00:47:45.665 align:center
To the fast bowlers!

00:47:45.745 --> 00:47:48.545 align:center
Why? Because all fast bowlers
on the India team…

00:47:48.625 --> 00:47:50.745 align:center
Kapil Dev, Madan Lal, Karsan Ghavri,

00:47:50.825 --> 00:47:53.425 align:center
slept on the floor, not the bed,

00:47:53.505 --> 00:47:55.225 align:center
- to protect their backs.
- For their backs.

00:47:55.305 --> 00:47:56.905 align:center
To strengthen their backs.

00:47:56.985 --> 00:47:58.105 align:center
- So…
- Wow!

00:47:59.465 --> 00:48:02.705 align:center
So their beds were free
for others to crash in.

00:48:02.785 --> 00:48:04.585 align:center
That's because you played so well.

00:48:04.665 --> 00:48:06.545 align:center
If you had someone
who gets out at zero runs

00:48:06.625 --> 00:48:08.145 align:center
but insists on bringing his wife along…

00:48:09.465 --> 00:48:12.385 align:center
the BCCI wouldn't let him!

00:48:12.465 --> 00:48:15.385 align:center
And bringing your wives along makes sense.

00:48:15.465 --> 00:48:17.865 align:center
Around a coach, getting out is still fine.

00:48:17.945 --> 00:48:20.465 align:center
But you have to save face
with your wife around.

00:48:20.545 --> 00:48:22.025 align:center
Or she'll say,
"You couldn't last two minutes?"

00:48:27.425 --> 00:48:31.225 align:center
Back in the day, you know,

00:48:31.305 --> 00:48:34.465 align:center
when players didn't bring wives
on tour with them,

00:48:35.185 --> 00:48:38.785 align:center
one of the players' wives once
called the dressing room…

00:48:38.865 --> 00:48:39.945 align:center
- Yeah?
- …and was told

00:48:40.025 --> 00:48:42.385 align:center
he had just gone in to bat.

00:48:42.945 --> 00:48:47.225 align:center
She said, "Fine, I'll hold on.
I know he'll be back after one ball."

00:48:51.065 --> 00:48:53.305 align:center
When I was coach,

00:48:53.385 --> 00:48:58.585 align:center
there was a lot of pressure
from the players to let their wives visit.

00:48:58.665 --> 00:49:04.145 align:center
So I had several talks with the board
about allowing them to.

00:49:04.225 --> 00:49:07.225 align:center
During my time, a big decision was made.

00:49:07.305 --> 00:49:09.825 align:center
Because some players had girlfriends too.

00:49:10.505 --> 00:49:13.385 align:center
Like, Virat was dating Anushka back then.

00:49:13.465 --> 00:49:18.425 align:center
Virat told me, "Ravi <i>bhai,</i> I've been away
for a long time." It was a long tour.

00:49:18.505 --> 00:49:19.585 align:center
It was a five-month tour,

00:49:19.665 --> 00:49:22.225 align:center
consisting of a Test series
and then the World Cup.

00:49:22.305 --> 00:49:24.145 align:center
He asked, "Can she come?"

00:49:24.225 --> 00:49:28.505 align:center
So then, I called Mr. Srinivasan,
the then-board president…

00:49:28.585 --> 00:49:31.945 align:center
- Okay.
- …and said, "The players need support."

00:49:32.465 --> 00:49:34.385 align:center
"Yes, she's not his wife at the moment,

00:49:34.465 --> 00:49:38.185 align:center
but, you know, everyone knows
she's his girlfriend, so allow her."

00:49:38.265 --> 00:49:39.905 align:center
"He's an important player,

00:49:39.985 --> 00:49:42.265 align:center
and he can score runs
if his head stays in the game."

00:49:42.345 --> 00:49:43.745 align:center
And she was allowed to.

00:49:46.105 --> 00:49:48.665 align:center
She was there for the Boxing Day Test.

00:49:50.105 --> 00:49:51.625 align:center
She arrived two days before Christmas.

00:49:52.265 --> 00:49:55.825 align:center
The match began on the 26th,
as you all saw,

00:49:55.905 --> 00:49:59.785 align:center
Kohli charged out like a warrior
and scored 160!

00:50:00.545 --> 00:50:03.105 align:center
And when he hit a hundred,
he kissed his bat…

00:50:05.385 --> 00:50:06.345 align:center
and pointed it to the audience.

00:50:07.465 --> 00:50:11.385 align:center
Speaking of Virat, or any other player,

00:50:11.465 --> 00:50:14.625 align:center
when their wives or girlfriends are
in the audience, and they hit a century,

00:50:14.705 --> 00:50:16.185 align:center
they point toward them.

00:50:16.265 --> 00:50:17.945 align:center
Doesn't it make you mad?
"I taught them that!"

00:50:19.425 --> 00:50:20.265 align:center
And they…

00:50:35.945 --> 00:50:38.225 align:center
Oh, my God!

00:50:39.385 --> 00:50:41.105 align:center
Oh, my God!

00:50:43.825 --> 00:50:45.705 align:center
Oh, my God!

00:50:45.785 --> 00:50:47.265 align:center
Kapil <i>paaji!</i>

00:50:57.825 --> 00:51:00.105 align:center
Lovely to see you guys here today.

00:51:03.705 --> 00:51:07.305 align:center
Wow. Whenever I see you guys together,

00:51:07.385 --> 00:51:09.265 align:center
it's like a weekend vibe.

00:51:09.345 --> 00:51:10.825 align:center
You know?

00:51:10.905 --> 00:51:12.825 align:center
Your names suggest that.

00:51:13.945 --> 00:51:14.825 align:center
You know…

00:51:15.465 --> 00:51:17.865 align:center
Sunny, Ravi, you know.

00:51:19.305 --> 00:51:22.025 align:center
In English, Sunny is Saturday,
Ravi is Sunday,

00:51:22.105 --> 00:51:25.025 align:center
so it's a weekend vibe
when you two are together.

00:51:29.305 --> 00:51:32.505 align:center
Sometimes I enjoy speaking English so much

00:51:32.585 --> 00:51:34.505 align:center
that I don't feel like speaking Hindi.

00:51:35.185 --> 00:51:37.905 align:center
How are you, Kapil?
How are things? All good?

00:51:37.985 --> 00:51:40.425 align:center
I'm good.
English with them, Punjabi with me?

00:51:40.505 --> 00:51:43.665 align:center
I'm not that selfish.
I have to think about you too.

00:51:46.225 --> 00:51:47.065 align:center
Please, have a seat.

00:51:47.145 --> 00:51:49.585 align:center
No worries.
I'll say hello over there first.

00:51:49.665 --> 00:51:51.185 align:center
- Sure, sure.
- Give me two minutes.

00:51:51.265 --> 00:51:53.105 align:center
I'll just meet them. I'll be right back.

00:51:53.185 --> 00:51:54.465 align:center
Sorry, guys. I'll just…

00:51:58.105 --> 00:51:59.985 align:center
- Archana <i>ji,</i> how are you?
- Hi.

00:52:00.065 --> 00:52:01.985 align:center
- Good to see you!
- Lovely to see you!

00:52:02.065 --> 00:52:05.305 align:center
Lovely! You got new bangs.
They look gorgeous!

00:52:05.385 --> 00:52:06.385 align:center
- Greetings, <i>paaji.</i>
- How are you?

00:52:06.465 --> 00:52:07.665 align:center
How are you, <i>paaji?</i>

00:52:07.745 --> 00:52:09.505 align:center
- My respects to you, <i>paaji.</i>
- No, <i>paaji.</i> My respects to you.

00:52:10.025 --> 00:52:11.545 align:center
My respects, <i>paaji.</i>

00:52:14.225 --> 00:52:17.985 align:center
Netflix's Sidhu <i>ji,</i>
how are you doing? All good?

00:52:20.345 --> 00:52:24.265 align:center
I see Sidhu, the commentator,
all the time,

00:52:24.345 --> 00:52:27.265 align:center
but I never see Sidhu,
the politician, these days.

00:52:29.385 --> 00:52:30.905 align:center
What are you saying?

00:52:31.785 --> 00:52:33.065 align:center
You're talking nonsense!

00:52:33.145 --> 00:52:35.825 align:center
It's not nonsense.
He isn't just one person.

00:52:36.905 --> 00:52:37.985 align:center
He's an entire group!

00:52:41.865 --> 00:52:44.345 align:center
He has many avatars.

00:52:44.425 --> 00:52:47.425 align:center
He's a meditator, a mediator,

00:52:47.505 --> 00:52:51.265 align:center
a commentator, a traveler, so many--

00:52:51.345 --> 00:52:52.425 align:center
Now he's an influencer too.

00:52:52.505 --> 00:52:54.705 align:center
- Right, right.
- So many avatars.

00:52:54.785 --> 00:52:58.865 align:center
I'd say he has 20 avatars, so all 20--

00:52:58.945 --> 00:53:00.385 align:center
Wait a minute.

00:53:00.465 --> 00:53:01.785 align:center
His 20 avatars--

00:53:03.265 --> 00:53:04.225 align:center
Wait a second.

00:53:04.305 --> 00:53:05.265 align:center
His teeth came out!

00:53:09.585 --> 00:53:12.625 align:center
He has 20 avatars, so I mean--

00:53:12.705 --> 00:53:16.225 align:center
He should have a movie made
about him called <i>Twenty Avatars.</i>

00:53:16.305 --> 00:53:18.345 align:center
- Absolutely.
- Very nice.

00:53:18.905 --> 00:53:19.945 align:center
Everything good?

00:53:20.025 --> 00:53:22.185 align:center
- Have a seat. I'll be back in two.
- Thank you.

00:53:27.985 --> 00:53:29.425 align:center
It feels so great.

00:53:30.305 --> 00:53:32.105 align:center
Everything all right, Kapil?

00:53:32.185 --> 00:53:33.265 align:center
All good, <i>paaji.</i>

00:53:33.345 --> 00:53:35.785 align:center
- Please have a seat.
- No, it's fine. All's well.

00:53:35.865 --> 00:53:39.945 align:center
See, today there's a lot of--
If you look at it on paper,

00:53:40.025 --> 00:53:42.225 align:center
- it's so confusing.
- Yes.

00:53:42.305 --> 00:53:44.305 align:center
Ravi <i>ji</i> is sitting right here.

00:53:44.385 --> 00:53:47.625 align:center
In front of him, Kapil-Sunil,

00:53:47.705 --> 00:53:50.105 align:center
and behind him, another Kapil-Sunil.

00:53:50.185 --> 00:53:51.785 align:center
It's like that classic riddle.

00:53:53.185 --> 00:53:56.745 align:center
Kapil-Sunil in front,
Kapil-Sunil behind, so how many in all?

00:53:56.825 --> 00:53:58.625 align:center
Tell us in the comments

00:53:59.665 --> 00:54:02.465 align:center
how many Kapil-Sunils there are,

00:54:02.545 --> 00:54:07.505 align:center
and post your comments
on Influencer Sidhu <i>ji's</i> Instagram.

00:54:10.625 --> 00:54:12.665 align:center
Because he posts reels every time,

00:54:12.745 --> 00:54:16.265 align:center
whether he's in them or not.
He posts whatever he likes.

00:54:16.345 --> 00:54:18.465 align:center
Shot by Ram, starring Ghanshyam,

00:54:18.545 --> 00:54:19.985 align:center
Sidhu <i>paaji</i> posted it on Instagram!

00:54:25.465 --> 00:54:28.145 align:center
Kapil <i>paaji,</i> what brings you here today?

00:54:28.225 --> 00:54:32.305 align:center
- Kapil, I love this show, man.
- Oh, thank you.

00:54:32.385 --> 00:54:33.745 align:center
I really like it.

00:54:34.665 --> 00:54:38.425 align:center
I was thinking,
how can you make it even better?

00:54:39.745 --> 00:54:42.865 align:center
You have two judges. I think
this show needs one more judge.

00:54:42.945 --> 00:54:46.465 align:center
- There's room. I saw an extra couch.
- Yeah.

00:54:46.545 --> 00:54:50.665 align:center
With another judge,
you'd get more laughter, energy, and mood.

00:54:50.745 --> 00:54:52.305 align:center
Can you recite poetry too?

00:54:52.385 --> 00:54:54.985 align:center
I've been learning a lot lately.

00:54:55.065 --> 00:54:57.905 align:center
- I even have a poetry teacher.
- Who's that?

00:54:57.985 --> 00:55:02.105 align:center
From one of his avatars, Poet Sidhu <i>ji.</i>
I learn from him.

00:55:02.185 --> 00:55:04.345 align:center
- I see.
- Yeah. If you don't mind, can I call him?

00:55:04.425 --> 00:55:07.065 align:center
- Sure, please do.
- He has so many avatars.

00:55:07.145 --> 00:55:09.985 align:center
If you don't mind, can I--
Everyone, say, "Clap it up!"

00:55:10.065 --> 00:55:11.785 align:center
Clap it up!

00:55:14.585 --> 00:55:15.465 align:center
One minute.

00:55:16.185 --> 00:55:17.585 align:center
<i>I say, press it.</i>

00:55:17.665 --> 00:55:19.505 align:center
<i>I say, press the point.</i>

00:55:21.545 --> 00:55:23.825 align:center
Oh, we got Domestic Sidhu <i>ji</i> on the line!

00:55:23.905 --> 00:55:26.545 align:center
- He's massaging his wife's feet.
- <i>Oh!</i>

00:55:28.025 --> 00:55:31.145 align:center
Sunny <i>ji,</i> Ravi <i>ji,</i> you're both here today?

00:55:31.225 --> 00:55:33.425 align:center
<i>Man, fantastic!</i>

00:55:33.505 --> 00:55:35.545 align:center
<i>Tell me, how can I help you?</i>

00:55:35.625 --> 00:55:37.745 align:center
You're already helping your wife.

00:55:38.745 --> 00:55:41.465 align:center
No, I'm working on my laptop.

00:55:42.145 --> 00:55:45.705 align:center
<i>I work only on my laptop these days.</i>

00:55:45.785 --> 00:55:47.065 align:center
Right, right.

00:55:47.145 --> 00:55:49.345 align:center
I was trying to call Poet Sidhu <i>ji,</i>

00:55:49.425 --> 00:55:51.025 align:center
- maybe it got-- Yes.
- Really?

00:55:51.105 --> 00:55:52.265 align:center
- Poet Sidhu <i>ji?</i>
- Yes.

00:55:52.345 --> 00:55:54.785 align:center
He's with the commentator today.
He needed him.

00:55:54.865 --> 00:55:56.465 align:center
- <i>Do one thing.</i>
- Yes.

00:55:56.545 --> 00:55:59.785 align:center
<i>Call number 11.</i>

00:55:59.865 --> 00:56:01.625 align:center
- <i>Call number 11, okay?</i>
- Yes.

00:56:01.705 --> 00:56:02.665 align:center
<i>Okay.</i>

00:56:06.905 --> 00:56:08.545 align:center
<i>At least wait for the call to end.</i>

00:56:11.745 --> 00:56:14.225 align:center
- Let me call number 11.
- Yes.

00:56:14.305 --> 00:56:16.305 align:center
Calling number 11…

00:56:23.225 --> 00:56:27.145 align:center
How is your poetry practice
going, Kapil <i>paaji?</i>

00:56:27.225 --> 00:56:30.505 align:center
Tell me, is your rhyming mode on?

00:56:31.465 --> 00:56:33.825 align:center
- Just keep reciting poetry!
- I…

00:56:33.905 --> 00:56:37.745 align:center
I've been writing so much poetry
under your guidance lately, <i>paaji.</i>

00:56:37.825 --> 00:56:40.545 align:center
I wrote two couplets in the shower.
Let me recite them for you.

00:56:40.625 --> 00:56:44.905 align:center
"Spray that water with all your power,
soak me completely, O shower!"

00:56:46.905 --> 00:56:50.345 align:center
"O soap, don't slip from my grasp,
fearing the very fate you dread."

00:56:50.985 --> 00:56:52.065 align:center
How was that, <i>paaji?</i>

00:56:52.145 --> 00:56:53.225 align:center
<i>Clap it up!</i>

00:56:54.825 --> 00:56:58.065 align:center
Splendid! One thing I understood.

00:56:58.145 --> 00:57:00.865 align:center
You are doing very good. Wonderful!

00:57:00.945 --> 00:57:03.265 align:center
<i>Your rhyming practice must be nonstop.</i>

00:57:03.345 --> 00:57:06.665 align:center
- <i>Now, you're sitting right here.</i>
- Yes, <i>paaji.</i>

00:57:06.745 --> 00:57:09.145 align:center
So find something to rhyme right here.

00:57:09.225 --> 00:57:11.185 align:center
Who will you rhyme about here?

00:57:11.265 --> 00:57:14.345 align:center
Sunny <i>ji--</i>
I'd like to rhyme about Ravi Shastri <i>ji.</i>

00:57:14.425 --> 00:57:17.745 align:center
Yes, but mind the last word. Ravi Shastri.

00:57:17.825 --> 00:57:20.465 align:center
If you rhyme on "Shastri,"

00:57:20.545 --> 00:57:22.545 align:center
only two rhymes work.
Mistri and <i>stri.</i> That's it.

00:57:22.625 --> 00:57:24.385 align:center
<i>If you end on "Ravi,"</i>

00:57:24.465 --> 00:57:27.625 align:center
<i>you get</i> kavi, chhavi, <i>Jammu Tawi…</i>

00:57:27.705 --> 00:57:30.985 align:center
<i>You can keep rhyming endlessly!</i>

00:57:31.065 --> 00:57:33.185 align:center
- Right, <i>paaji.</i>
- Your fee hasn't arrived.

00:57:34.665 --> 00:57:36.345 align:center
Paaji, actually I wanted to--

00:57:36.425 --> 00:57:38.865 align:center
- If you give me a chance, I'll explain.
- What?

00:57:38.945 --> 00:57:41.785 align:center
I gave it to
Commentator Sidhu <i>paaji</i> by mistake.

00:57:41.865 --> 00:57:45.665 align:center
- I was supposed to give it to you--
- <i>No ifs, no buts!</i>

00:57:45.745 --> 00:57:48.505 align:center
<i>No fee, and I'll hang up on you.</i>

00:57:48.585 --> 00:57:49.945 align:center
<i>Paaji…</i>

00:57:50.785 --> 00:57:52.705 align:center
- Man.
- "No fee…"

00:57:53.545 --> 00:57:58.065 align:center
See? I'm practicing my poetry, but yeah…

00:58:00.185 --> 00:58:02.345 align:center
I have only one flaw, Kapil.

00:58:02.425 --> 00:58:05.625 align:center
- Yes?
- If you can help me with that.

00:58:05.705 --> 00:58:06.545 align:center
Tell me, what is it?

00:58:06.625 --> 00:58:08.705 align:center
- When a joke comes…
- Yeah.

00:58:08.785 --> 00:58:10.585 align:center
…I laugh naturally,

00:58:10.665 --> 00:58:12.985 align:center
but I don't know when to laugh.

00:58:13.065 --> 00:58:14.065 align:center
I see.

00:58:14.545 --> 00:58:18.265 align:center
Like Sidhu <i>ji</i> and Archana <i>ji</i> sitting here,
salute to you.

00:58:18.345 --> 00:58:20.025 align:center
How do you know when to laugh?

00:58:21.025 --> 00:58:22.705 align:center
There must be a light down there,

00:58:22.785 --> 00:58:24.785 align:center
and you laugh when it turns on.

00:58:24.865 --> 00:58:27.545 align:center
Or do you memorize the whole script,

00:58:28.345 --> 00:58:31.985 align:center
- so you know when to laugh?
- Laughter can't be planned.

00:58:32.065 --> 00:58:34.905 align:center
Laughter is spontaneous.
It comes from the soul.

00:58:34.985 --> 00:58:37.785 align:center
If a soul appeared before me,
I'd be terrified, right?

00:58:40.385 --> 00:58:41.825 align:center
Well, that's not too hard.

00:58:41.905 --> 00:58:44.265 align:center
I'll tell an old joke. You'll get it.

00:58:45.145 --> 00:58:46.625 align:center
There's this ant.

00:58:47.625 --> 00:58:49.145 align:center
No, no, not yet…

00:58:49.865 --> 00:58:51.425 align:center
Don't laugh yet! Not yet!

00:58:51.505 --> 00:58:53.985 align:center
<i>- Paaji,</i> hello. Not yet!
- Okay.

00:58:54.065 --> 00:58:55.065 align:center
She tells an elephant…

00:58:56.145 --> 00:58:57.145 align:center
No, not yet…

00:58:58.105 --> 00:58:59.545 align:center
Hello, don't laugh yet.

00:59:00.305 --> 00:59:01.665 align:center
- Later, later!
- Oh.

00:59:02.465 --> 00:59:04.625 align:center
- Okay.
- The ant tells the elephant,

00:59:05.345 --> 00:59:07.345 align:center
"Our families won't approve
of our relationship."

00:59:10.105 --> 00:59:12.265 align:center
<i>Paaji! Paaji!</i>

00:59:13.785 --> 00:59:17.065 align:center
Not here! The joke comes later.

00:59:17.785 --> 00:59:19.345 align:center
- The joke is coming up.
- Okay.

00:59:19.425 --> 00:59:22.265 align:center
The ant tells the elephant, "Our families
won't approve of our relationship."

00:59:22.345 --> 00:59:23.945 align:center
- Right.
- The elephant asks, "Why?"

00:59:24.025 --> 00:59:25.985 align:center
The ant says, "They'll say
the guy's teeth stick out."

00:59:27.425 --> 00:59:28.305 align:center
This is where you laugh!

00:59:33.345 --> 00:59:35.785 align:center
You told me to laugh further ahead.

00:59:35.865 --> 00:59:37.425 align:center
I meant ahead in the joke, right here!

00:59:37.505 --> 00:59:38.985 align:center
Not further ahead in Pune!

00:59:41.865 --> 00:59:44.585 align:center
Never mind, I'll tell you another joke.

00:59:44.665 --> 00:59:45.745 align:center
There's this boy.

00:59:46.465 --> 00:59:48.465 align:center
Not a boy, an ant, right?

00:59:49.265 --> 00:59:50.385 align:center
This is a different one.

00:59:50.505 --> 00:59:52.865 align:center
You're not Harbhajan Singh
to bowl a doosra.

00:59:53.585 --> 00:59:55.345 align:center
Finish the first one, Kapil.

00:59:56.105 --> 00:59:57.625 align:center
I have another idea.

00:59:57.705 --> 00:59:58.665 align:center
- Yeah?
- Forget it.

01:00:00.825 --> 01:00:04.705 align:center
Anyway, let's complete the scenario.

01:00:05.345 --> 01:00:08.545 align:center
You're legendary cricketers
visiting us today,

01:00:09.225 --> 01:00:11.665 align:center
so I want to complete the scene

01:00:11.745 --> 01:00:15.145 align:center
and bring out cheerleaders from your era.

01:00:15.225 --> 01:00:17.585 align:center
- If you allow me, can I call them?
- Yes.

01:00:17.665 --> 01:00:18.825 align:center
- Sure, bring them in.
- Please.

01:00:18.905 --> 01:00:20.385 align:center
Please come in quickly.

01:00:27.905 --> 01:00:29.465 align:center
What kind of cheerleaders are they?

01:00:32.665 --> 01:00:34.345 align:center
Did cheerleaders wear dresses
like these back then?

01:00:38.425 --> 01:00:40.745 align:center
- They danced in their house clothes.
- Really?

01:00:40.825 --> 01:00:43.385 align:center
Yeah. There were
no cameras back then, right?

01:00:43.465 --> 01:00:45.545 align:center
And you're still in touch with them
after all these years?

01:00:55.625 --> 01:00:57.625 align:center
No, we don't just stay in touch.

01:00:57.705 --> 01:00:59.745 align:center
We've been meeting every single month.

01:00:59.825 --> 01:01:01.505 align:center
- We get together every month.
- Why?

01:01:01.585 --> 01:01:04.145 align:center
Because we have a kitty group together.

01:01:05.105 --> 01:01:06.385 align:center
Yeah.

01:01:06.465 --> 01:01:10.705 align:center
Sapna cashed out
at a loss of 1,500 rupees this month

01:01:10.785 --> 01:01:12.345 align:center
because she needed
a new gate for her house.

01:01:13.905 --> 01:01:16.185 align:center
The plywood warped,
so she's getting a gate put in.

01:01:16.265 --> 01:01:18.705 align:center
- Really?
- Yeah, but our kitty party goes on.

01:01:19.385 --> 01:01:21.665 align:center
If you don't mind, we'd like

01:01:21.745 --> 01:01:25.385 align:center
to have them perform the dance for you

01:01:25.465 --> 01:01:28.345 align:center
- because it's a celebration--
<i>- Paaji,</i> join in and dance too!

01:01:28.425 --> 01:01:29.985 align:center
Will you join in?

01:01:30.065 --> 01:01:31.145 align:center
No, no, you go ahead.

01:01:31.225 --> 01:01:33.705 align:center
- That move you do, this one.
- No, no…

01:01:35.545 --> 01:01:36.665 align:center
You do it.

01:01:38.825 --> 01:01:44.105 align:center
You'll be thrilled to know
that the music and vocals for this song

01:01:44.185 --> 01:01:45.745 align:center
are by Singer Sidhu <i>ji.</i>

01:01:47.225 --> 01:01:51.465 align:center
And the song they'll dance to is
from Singer Sidhu <i>ji's</i> album.

01:01:51.545 --> 01:01:52.745 align:center
- Oh, wow!
- Are you ready, girls?

01:01:52.825 --> 01:01:54.625 align:center
Want to dance? Okay.

01:02:03.385 --> 01:02:07.625 align:center
<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 align:center
<i>They're gonna light things up</i>
<i>And make everyone dance!</i>

01:02:19.225 --> 01:02:21.025 align:center
<i>They're gonna make Ravi dance</i>

01:02:22.945 --> 01:02:25.185 align:center
<i>They're gonna make Sunil dance</i>

01:02:27.225 --> 01:02:29.185 align:center
<i>They're gonna make Kapil dance</i>

01:02:31.145 --> 01:02:32.745 align:center
<i>They're gonna make Sidhu dance</i>

01:02:34.865 --> 01:02:39.065 align:center
<i>These cheerleaders are the OG</i>

01:02:39.145 --> 01:02:42.865 align:center
<i>These cheerleaders are the OG</i>

01:02:42.945 --> 01:02:47.265 align:center
<i>These cheerleaders are the OG</i>

01:02:50.945 --> 01:02:54.865 align:center
<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 align:center
<i>And she's gonna spin the wickets around</i>

01:03:00.145 --> 01:03:04.145 align:center
<i>These cheerleaders are the OG</i>

01:03:04.225 --> 01:03:08.225 align:center
<i>These cheerleaders are the OG</i>

01:03:08.305 --> 01:03:09.545 align:center
<i>Check it out!</i>

01:03:09.625 --> 01:03:10.825 align:center
<i>Man, check it out!</i>

01:03:22.905 --> 01:03:24.585 align:center
Superb! Superb!

01:03:26.545 --> 01:03:27.705 align:center
- This song seems like…
- Thank you.

01:03:27.785 --> 01:03:30.105 align:center
…a hit, a fit, and it's viral!

01:03:30.825 --> 01:03:32.185 align:center
End of story.

01:03:33.185 --> 01:03:35.625 align:center
A big round of applause for our guests!

01:03:37.745 --> 01:03:39.865 align:center
Thank you so much, Sunny sir, Ravi sir.

01:03:39.945 --> 01:03:41.585 align:center
It was wonderful chatting with you.

01:03:41.665 --> 01:03:43.745 align:center
- You made our evening special, sir.
- Pleasure.

01:03:43.825 --> 01:03:45.025 align:center
- Thank you, Sunny sir.
- It was fun.

01:03:45.105 --> 01:03:46.625 align:center
Love you, sir! Love you.

01:03:47.465 --> 01:03:50.145 align:center
And folks, that's all for today.

01:03:50.225 --> 01:03:54.025 align:center
They say if you can't give anything,
just give a smile,

01:03:54.105 --> 01:03:57.065 align:center
because your smile alone
can bring someone joy.

01:03:57.145 --> 01:04:00.185 align:center
So stay happy and keep watching
<i>The Great Indian Kapil Show Season Five.</i>

01:04:00.265 --> 01:04:02.705 align:center
The festival of laughter is on Netflix!

01:04:02.785 --> 01:04:06.665 align:center
See you next Saturday.
Until then, good night and sweet dreams.

01:04:06.745 --> 01:04:07.865 align:center
Thank you so much!
