Speed Debate: Old Legends vs Modern Cricketers | Rajdeep Sardesai & Nikhil Naz | Ep 4

Uh, Ravi Shastri is, uh, uh, you know, likes, uh, much like his commentary, likes to do things over the top.

And, uh, food was great.

There was a lot of drink.

And there were these players.

And I was, for a moment, much like a fan.

And Sachin was great.

We got time, quality time with him, and I think he liked the idea that he was with familiar faces from his past.

And he spoke, I can't, I can't reveal what he said, but if it, if it was on tape, it would make front page headlines.

That's all I will reveal.

If what Sachin Tendulkar told us that day, I could actually quote it, it would make front page headlines.

Very, very constructive about which way the game is headed and what we need to do.

Okay, that's an interesting statement.

Yeah, because he's very careful normally.

I understand.

Cautious.

You know, Sachin is cautious, but that day, you know, I think <|diarize|>Khul ke Sachin, uh, spoke.

And, uh, he understands the game, uh, uh, because he's seen the game, uh, in the pre T20 era-

Yeah

... and also played a bit of the T20 era, the early years of the IPL.

So he's seen the transition.

Uh, I, I can reveal one thing, that I asked him, uh, d- you know, "How do you think you would have made the constant adjustment from red ball to white ball that today's players have to do? I mean, how effective would you have been in terms of your strike rates, which have now gone to 150, 175, 180?" And typical of Sachin, he said, "You remember, against Pakistan, 15, 18 balls?"

[laughs]

You know? One day match.

Yeah, yeah.

Of course.
