00:00Rohit Sharma and his captaincy to ensure that Team India win this one and get a clean sweep.
00:05However, they have rested a few key players and the Windies know there is nothing better than going out and
00:11going out with style.
00:13Everything to play for. Let's find out what's on the show.
00:16It's been six years since we saw a T20 international that was played here.
00:20New Zealand won that game by just one run and Rohit Sharma was batting number six.
00:26Today the hitman is the captain and he is on the cusp of a few milestones.
00:30But what did he do during the Diwali bake along with your other favourite superstars?
00:35We follow.
00:35Aren't we with Murali Karthik and Sunil Gavaskar?
00:37Did you know Sunny that Murali Karthik was born just behind that gate over there?
00:42Is that right?
00:43Absolutely. As soon as you come out of MCC gates Mahinti and Sunny bhai, there is a nursing home.
00:48Not like literally stones.
00:49Full circle. That's fantastic. By the way, you also told me that that stand is the rowdy stand now that
00:53he was there.
00:53Used to be.
00:53I understand why. But I tell you what. We are so excited to see the hitman in action. Why?
00:59Because he's our dream 11 player to watch out for.
01:04The highest run getter in T20s. It's not just his batting. It's a fact in T20 guys.
01:09It's not just his batting. It's the fact that captaincy brings out the best in him.
01:13And him as a captain. Some of the decisions that he's taken. The bowling changes.
01:18I look up in his case because when he talks cricket, you need to listen.
01:21And he lulls you into submission. That's what Rohit Sharma does. But I tell you what. Speaking of making history
01:27against the Windies, what Rohit has done. How about another Indian captain making history in the West Indies?
01:34That's something you'll get a chance to see later on. But talking about making the most out of your opportunities
01:39and when the stage is set for you.
01:41So this is a team now, the Indian team, that has rested a couple of key players. A couple of
01:45these players, whether it be Khalil or Kranal, had made most of those opportunities.
01:49So Shreya Sire, waiting in the wings now.
01:52For the IPL this year round, Shreya Sire and Rishap Pant, if you think of their exploits, what they did
01:57for Team Delhi, they were practically the ones that led this team.
02:00However, for Rishap Pant, who had a strike rate of more than 2.15, the death overs in IPL, he
02:05has not been able to replicate that in blue for Team India.
02:09So now, is the time running out for Rishap Pant?
02:12So clearly, Rishap Pant has made the marks in whites. He's got team management to openly speak about the role
02:18that they've given him.
02:19Why is he struggling in limited overs?
02:22Look, it's had the vote of confidence. Another player who had a considerable vote of confidence because he showed a
02:27lot of heart.
02:28You know, the emergence of someone like Chahel, you mentioned him playing at the Chinnaswamy, the bowler's graveyard.
02:34That's how he was fast-tracked into the Indian team, did incredibly well.
02:37But then, Kaatik, I'll show you these numbers. Since the England series, something somewhere has gone wrong.
02:42He knows, with the Indian team building up to that World Cup to get that perfect 11, that it, as
02:48cliche as it sounds,
02:49you've got to make the most of your opportunities. Just ask the two Ks in the Indian team, Khalil and
02:56Khrunal.
03:07So what will Team India's bowling combination look like today? Traditionally, we know here at the Chahe Pocket is spinned
03:17that favours will do play any role today.
03:19Let's find out more about the conditions in our Nehrolak Pitch Report.
03:23Thank you, gentlemen. We are expecting something special in this third and final T20.
03:27And lots planned for you on Nehrolak Cricket Live throughout the day. Let me tell you, we've got a story.
03:33Thanks so much for staying with us. We are moments away from the toss. Let's talk about the one and
03:38only Shikhar.
03:39He's become the sixth Indian to cross a thousand T20i runs. Now, if you just take into account now,
03:44it's about seven limited overs innings against the Windy's. He hasn't got a 50. He just gets stuck between 32
03:50and 49.
03:51And also, I mentioned Rohit Sharma as well. These two have now become the most prolific pair in T20i.
03:57There is something special about this. They have a relationship. They're friends.
04:01But the way it translates onto the cricket field is amazing.
04:04We're looking forward to seeing this jury, aren't we? Let's go across now.
04:07Thank you so much for that, Karthik. So, we did expect them to bat first because conditions are expected to
04:12change later on.
04:14Now, we know the trouble that the opening pair have had for Windy's. That's something they've struggled with.
04:18They've also struggled to read Kuldeep, who isn't here. But you've got to contend now with three spinners.
04:23Because Chehel and Washington Sundar joined Krunal Pandya.
04:26Well, it's not going to be easy.
04:27Look at the team here because even when we had our Windy's experts with us, there's a temperament.
04:31Let's have a look now at the Indian team. As I mentioned, two changes.
04:34But more than the pressure, you are aware of the fact that there's a lot more good wishes behind you.
04:39So, that's what he's got to do. And you know, I mean...
04:42We walk into Chennai here and Sunny knows it well.
04:45Every time we walk in, it is practically Mahi mania.
04:49There is a store right outside here that is named Dhoni Sports.
04:52So, who better than Arjun Pandit to discover it all in our Paytm City Diaries.
04:58Arjun Pandit making the entire Starsports contingent extremely jealous.
05:02Every city he's gone to, he's celebrated. Every city he's gone to, he's tasted the local cuisine.
05:06He didn't even have the manners, gentlemen, to bring us some filter coffee.
05:11Look, I just hope that he doesn't have any...
05:22When he came back from an injury, we saw that he struggled to get his rhythm.
05:25But not necessarily in the last T20.
05:27Remember, he's the only Indian Pacer that possesses a five-wicket haul in this format.
05:31So, he hasn't been rested. And you know, in a sense, that's good.
05:33You've got to treat different players separately because Bhuvi needs to play as much as...
05:37Windy's will be batting first. As Sunny mentioned, great opportunity now for Yusvindra Chahal
05:42for us to dismiss those stats. Make sure the stats guys work on a few new numbers to make a
05:47case in point here.
05:48Let's hear what he had to say again with Shiva.
05:50Rohit Sharma will note that he has a flexibility to bowl Yusvindra.
