00:00 SACHIN KHAN - "Sachin, congratulations on your innings. How disappointed were you not to be there right at the end when you had batted so well?"
00:29 UD-E-K - "Our plan was to play till the last. I was telling Uday that we will take the whole team and play till the end. We both had a billiue. But it's okay. It's a big deal to win the match."
00:47 SACHIN KHAN - "Sachin and Uday were talking about taking the game deep. But they lost the wicket in between. But he is glad that the result came our way."
01:03 UD-E-K - "India has had some slow starts in the tournament. But not as difficult as this one with Quena and Tristan."
01:15 UD-E-K - "South Africa had a good wicket. It was tough. But Uday and I were talking about keeping the billiue and winning the match."
01:28 UD-E-K - "Sachin is saying that the conditions are good. But they would like to take their time and pace their innings so that they understand the situation, the opposition, the bowling attack."
01:39 UD-E-K - "Always the conversations between Uday and Sachin were on batting as long as possible so that they can manoeuvre the game as much as possible."
01:49 SACHIN KHAN - "How important was the tri-series at the start of the year when you guys came here and looked at an absolutely unbeatable team and continued that form through the World Cup and built the confidence to take yourselves out from that particular problem of 3-2-4-4?"
02:04 UD-E-K - "The tri-series helped us a lot. We got used to the conditions and the wicket. We practiced well and formed a good bonding. We did well in the tri-series as well. All our batsmen were in good form. We got a lot of support from the tri-series."
02:21 UD-E-K - "Sachin is saying that the tri-series helped us a lot in our preparation for the conditions and to get acclimatised with the weather here. It has played a decent role in our preparation. So a lot of credit for the tri-series in preparation of the World Cup."
02:40 SACHIN KHAN - "Last year we were the champions. We will try to play well and win the final. We are very proud of that."
03:03 UD-E-K - "Sachin is saying that we come in the tournament as defending champions. Although that is the fact, there is not much pressure in terms of our performances as a team here. They are here to play some good quality cricket and that is what they are looking for."
03:19 UD-E-K - "Uday has played well in the tournament. He has backed me in the entire innings and supported me. He has said that he wants to play and I want to play. All credit goes to Uday."
03:48 SACHIN KHAN - "Uday has been batting well throughout the tournament and he has been one of the pillars of the Indian batting line-up. The conversations in mid-innings between Uday and Sachin really helped him to keep up in the game and he is very happy for Uday."
04:06 UD-E-K - "Can I just ask what you both talk about when you are out there in the middle? Against New Zealand there was a big partnership between you both. Today again a match saving partnership. What do you guys talk about during those overs and during those drinks?"
04:21 UD-E-K - "We will play on our basics and will take the game to the end. We know that we have a belief that if we take the game to the end, we will finish the match. We had a good conversation."
04:33 UD-E-K - "Sachin is saying that there are very basic conversations about batting deep, about complimenting each other and how to pace the innings and take it deep. They come into a very good rhythm when they are batting together. That is what he is saying."
04:48 UD-E-K - "Brilliant. Just very finally from me, you have won comfortably in many games up until this point. Today was a real test for you and not only that but you chased a total down which you have yet to do during the tournament. How big a statement is that for the rest of the teams, Pakistan and Australia that are competing for that trophy?"
05:10 Sachin - "There is no statement but we are strong. We all know that we will do well in batting and will chase comfortably."
05:20 UD-E-K - "What Sachin is saying is that the belief in the team is very strong. Be it batting first or bowling first, they are all aware of their roles and are very clear in their mind. That is what helps them to perform how they are doing."
05:38 Thank you very much guys. Congratulations.
