biggest problem was that brother, by the time we reached here. Dubai and Abu Dhabi are also very far away.   The story we have now is that there is a match between India and Oman.  And we all have to
talk in a way.  We all have to team is small or big. Yes, every team is a team. Every team is a team.  Cricket is a real winner.  We all have to say these things together
and in all these things, India has batted first.  Brother, amidst all these things, India said that we will take the batting. Brother, I had to tell many people.  Many people were
saying that brother, there is no batting.   I am not able to bat.  I am not able to bat. Show batting.  Look, it has come today.  Batting came against Oman. Ardeep is not coming.  Have come. Who was not saying why Harshit Rana is
Those who were saying that brother Rinku Singh is practicing a lot. Why is Rinku Singh not coming?  He did not come even today. He did not come even today.  So see, the hand of
well, the hand of Gautam Buddha, I felt that you are not talking about any other Gautam, no, no, talk about Gautam Buddha, the yes, it has been of great use to
us and now the story is that in today's team, there are and now the story is that in today's team, there are playing Ardeep Singh in place of Jasprit Bumrah
not making the right frame. I am not making it. Yes, yours, that dirty one, that too, this is not good, this is better or the half one you were making like this is better.  Firstly, our height is somewhat equal, so
this is the reason.   The matter gets resolved. watch this match?  Well, there is one thing but if the Indian team had fielded first. Yes.  So there should not have been as much excitement among the people as there is now.
bowled first. Yes brother, it would have been the same thing, again Malik is saying that take the name of Pakistan, the children's viewers will not come.  Hey friend Qasim, tell me one thing, this insult that you people have done is
your ancestral work.  You have started a new one.  What is this?  Hey friend, I mean don't take the name of Pakistan.  As for Pakistan, the way Pakistan's Yes brother, what are you talking about
here?  I have been talking about the same thing right now.  The taxi driver in which we have just come is abusing him. He is saying what is this game?  They play.  Is Yes. They don't play like this, brother.
But brother, this means that Shivani Chaturvedi has come. Please do not break the pair.  Yes.   The Thank you sir. Our movement is not happening at all.   Yes. We are moving a little back and forth. But I
no movement here. Yes.  There is no significant movement.  But the truth is that the movement will happen in some time.  Only 15 minutes are left for India to start batting. And let me tell you one thing in advance about the team that we have today.
Yes, in today's batting team sheet, everyone is written at different numbers. with you guys, I mean why not start with Abhishek Sharma and Shubman
Abhishek Sharma, Shubman Gill, these are the openers listed. Sanju Samson is listed at number three. Good sir. Hardik Pandya is listed at number four. Hardik Pandya.  Surya Kumar Yadav is listed at number five.
Hardik Pandya.  Surya Kumar Yadav is listed at number five. Shivam Dubey is listed at number seven. Akshar Patel is listed at number eight. Harshit Rana is listed at number nine. Ardeep Singh is listed at number 10 and Kuldeep is listed at number 11.
But look, you know that is what will happen. When the left is out, the left will come in.   If the law of nature. Even against the BJP, if we keep doing left and right then the work will be done.  So this is not such a big thing to give.  But the
biggest question now is that everyone was saying that the pitches here are not very great.  Yesterday's match was between Sri Lanka and Afghanistan in Abu Dhabi. ? And brother, I mean there, yes, I was in Abu Dhabi.
I remembered and he was saying that brother the pitch is definitely going to hit and in the last over yesterday. And the way Sri Lanka chased it with such ease, it is definitely a pitch for 200. I mean, at least the way Team India
is batting and the way Oman is bowling, Team India should score 200 runs here and that is what we have come expecting going, yes that is Vimal ji who is going.
Okay Vimaljeet, not our Kumar ji, but look, some fans of Team India are also going but look, some fans of Team India are also going people are not even visible, but look from here, the crowd is coming,
crowd is coming, this is called crowd, this is India, I mean, according to the amount of empty space, it seems that this crowd Team India fans, yes they are fans of Team India,
but they also know what is going to be the result of Team India Meaning, it will be very difficult for Team India to win today by India should win the match today by more than 100 runs.
yes, I am okay, now brother, when Pakistan wins against such a team, if the player who scores 92 runs is Karim Jandat, Pakistan, poor Karim, friend, you made a joke,
I thought you were also there, why is Karim Jan the player from Afghanistan, and the only team like Pakistan that is always on la ah ha ha wow wow, so this is the la ah ha ha wow wow, so this is the
according to me, you guys also tell me, the you guys also tell me, the runs will be scored, according to me, 245, runs will be scored, according to me, 245, 245,
according to me, Abhishek Sharma will score runs, good, and Sanju Samson will score runs, both centuries, both centuries, both centuries, and then Tilak Verma 50,
people say that they are mino bashers, so I said Pakistan is also mino, brother, which team is looking here in the Asia Cup, which team is a little above mino, which mino  Yes, at least it is all Meena, yes and I-craft is the new,
yes this is right, he has said 350, 350 brother, 350 is too much, this 350 is too much, but see the meaning, it is a lot and I am saying that if India scores more than 250 runs,
if India scores more than 250 runs, then brother, you should understand this, take it in writing, no other team will be able to come even close to the Indian team. Your team from Oman is Your team from Oman is
If Team India scores 250 runs here, then you should understand that India's batting firepower is so much saying that Pakistan also played a match against Oman, if the
yes now India is playing, so let's say Pakistan scored 160, now you see and win by more than 93 runs, you should keep this target, you should not keep this
target that today we just all out for 67. All out for 67. You don't remember what happened to Afghanistan,
in that final.  But yes, they won against Oman by 93 runs.  So I feel that India should win by more than 93 runs.  Meaning, yes, I mean, you should take your target of Oman here. Yes, nowadays the target is to
see the full batting of our batsmen. Especially here, the batting of any team has not been seen well so far. Gupta is saying that he had done a very good Brother, do you know Vimal Kumar?  Yes, hey, he's gone, he's
I know, I know very well.   I my elder brother.  He is respectable.  In fact, I tell this story to everyone that in 2006,

sports reporter there at that time, we had come from Aaj Tak time of my internship, I am talking about 2006, in July 2006. Well, in July 2006, he interviewed two boys from the

Now you know that you might not have understood what Ishaan Sharma said.   He did How would it have been understood even in 2006?  But I understood at that very moment that I understood at that very moment that brother Vimal Bhai
