They found out themselves. 413 00:35:27,025 --> 00:35:28,026 Don't lie. 414 00:35:28,026 --> 00:35:30,695 Did I say anything? They knew it. 415 00:35:32,497 --> 00:35:34,632 She just went out with her boyfriend. 416 00:35:38,703 --> 00:35:41,906 Her boyfriend is throwing a party on her birthday. 417 00:35:43,541 --> 00:35:45,343 There's no boyfriend. She's just crazy. 418 00:35:45,343 --> 00:35:48,313 I can throw my own party. 419 00:35:48,980 --> 00:35:50,582 I don't need someone else for that. 420 00:35:51,383 --> 00:35:53,752 She's asking for a party. Wait, I'll give you one. 421 00:35:54,152 --> 00:35:56,755 Whoever this boyfriend of mine is, go ask him for a party. 422 00:35:58,656 --> 00:35:59,658 Am I right? 423 00:36:00,492 --> 00:36:02,560 She's taking us to the Taj Hotel, for real. 424 00:36:02,560 --> 00:36:04,996 She plans on mopping the floors there. 425 00:36:21,212 --> 00:36:23,515 Fanta, Fanta, Fanta!

Series Award. 431 00:36:44,369 --> 00:36:45,537 How does it feel? 432 00:36:45,537 --> 00:36:47,138 - Feels very good. - What's the feeling?! 433 00:36:47,705 --> 00:36:50,141 - What's the feeling like? - The feeling's great. 434 00:36:50,542 --> 00:36:53,378 Say it like Zaheer Khan, not like Yusuf Pathan. 435 00:37:34,152 --> 00:37:35,920 Sometimes it makes me sad that it takes so long to improve. 436 00:37:35,920 --> 00:37:37,856 I've been practicing here for a year. 437 00:37:39,090 --> 00:37:40,925 I'm older than all the girls here. 438 00:37:42,760 --> 00:37:43,928 At this age it's harder. 439 00:37:43,928 --> 00:37:46,164 Nowadays, they've reduced the age to play. 440 00:37:46,164 --> 00:37:49,467 You can only play on the team up to a certain age. 441 00:37:50,135 --> 00:37:52,837 As you age, your chances get lower! 442 00:37:52,837 --> 00:37:55,173 My biggest worry is that I need to learn fast. 443 00:37:55,840 --> 00:37:57,275 Nothing else. 444 00:37:57,275 --> 00:37:59,177 Over the last couple of days, 445 00:37:59,177 --> 00:38:01,179 the coach says my batting has improved. 446 00:38:01,179 --> 00:38:02,280 I'm a batsman, not a bowler. 447 00:38:02,981 --> 00:38:04,949 My batting has improved. 448 00:38:05,450 --> 00:38:07,452 I pray every day that I get better. 449 00:38:08,052 --> 00:38:11,289 That's why we are so eager at practice. 450 00:38:11,289 --> 00:38:15,960 To work hard, to succeed and do something for our parents. 451 00:39:01,906 --> 00:39:05,043 Getting selected to play for Mumbai would 452 00:39:05,043 --> 00:39:08,112 be an indescribable feeling for a player. 453 00:39:23,428 --> 00:39:25,697 If I don't make the team, 454 00:39:25,697 --> 00:39:28,199 Daddy will start talking about arranging my marriage. 455 00:39:29,767 --> 00:39:32,971 If I get married, I may not get to play cricket at all. 456 00:39:44,882 --> 00:39:46,751 Our girl plays well. 457 00:39:47,218 --> 00:39:48,753 She plays with heart. 458 00:39:49,554 --> 00:39:51,656 God willing, she will be successful one day. 459 00:39:52,223 --> 00:39:54,392 Let at least one girl from our family, 460 00:39:54,392 --> 00:39:56,561 at least one Muslim girl among us get ahead. 461 00:39:57,629 --> 00:39:59,631 So we all support her and by God's grace, 462 00:39:59,631 --> 00:40:01,766 her hard work should pay off. 463 00:40:02,400 --> 00:40:04,135 I hope she succeeds. 464 00:40:06,070 --> 00:40:08,940 That she becomes something, just like Daddy wishes, 465 00:40:09,741 --> 00:40:11,576 "My daughter should become something." 466 00:40:11,576 --> 00:40:13,177 I hope she proves herself. 467 00:40:14,579 --> 00:40:15,914 Let's see what her fate holds. 468 00:40:15,914 --> 00:40:18,182 Whether she's able to make it or not. 469 00:40:53,718 --> 00:40:56,955 A lot of the cricketers here are more experienced than me. 470 00:40:58,289 --> 00:41:00,191 We've been playing since childhood. 471 00:41:00,458 --> 00:41:03,127 We've been practicing here regularly for many years. 472 00:41:03,895 --> 00:41:06,230 I played for Seniors last year. 473 00:41:07,899 --> 00:41:09,834 I played Under 19 last year. 474 00:41:10,702 --> 00:41:12,036 Under 19. 475 00:41:12,036 --> 00:41:12,971 Not yet. 476 00:41:17,075 --> 00:41:18,810 All I can do is hope. 477 00:41:59,550 --> 00:42:01,953 This is the Senior Team Selection for MCA. 478 00:42:02,387 --> 00:42:05,390 All the batsmen, come aside. 479 00:42:05,590 --> 00:42:06,791 Pure batsmen. 480 00:42:08,860 --> 00:42:10,595 And the pure bowlers. 481 00:42:16,367 --> 00:42:18,403 I'll pick the all-rounders later. 482 00:42:18,636 --> 00:42:20,037 Pad up, you three girls. 483 00:45:14,312 --> 00:45:17,415 I don't feel bad about not making the team. 484 00:45:23,888 --> 00:45:26,657 It's up to us and how we perform. 485 00:45:31,228 --> 00:45:32,997 A big factor is that I started 486 00:45:32,997 --> 00:45:35,499 playing cricket very late in life. 487 00:45:39,971 --> 00:45:41,672 Had I started earlier, I would 488 00:45:41,672 --> 00:45:43,774 have made it, by God's grace. 489 00:45:51,248 --> 00:45:54,251 I last spoke to Akshaya on the MCA Tour, 490 00:45:54,251 --> 00:45:56,921 but it was a hi-bye kind of meeting. 491 00:45:59,290 --> 00:46:02,526 She was selected on the Under 19 Team in 2013. 492 00:46:07,798 --> 00:46:10,101 We don't talk on the phone nor message. 493 00:46:10,101 --> 00:46:12,169 Not even WhatsApp or Facebook. 494 00:46:12,837 --> 00:46:13,938 When I first joined, 495 00:46:13,938 --> 00:46:15,606 only she was with me. 496 00:46:16,641 --> 00:46:17,708 No matter what, no matter how she is, 497 00:46:17,708 --> 00:46:19,176 she's my friend. 498 00:47:00,851 --> 00:47:04,155 In the last three years, my life has changed a lot. 499 00:47:05,389 --> 00:47:11,329 In 2011, Dad and Mom had a fight and he left. 500 00:47:12,496 --> 00:47:14,332 We were asleep, and he left 501 00:47:14,332 --> 00:47:16,834 without his phone and bank cards. 502 00:47:16,834 --> 00:47:18,502 So we thought he was nearby. 503 00:47:19,003 --> 00:47:20,237 Then night came, and the next day, 504 00:47:20,237 --> 00:47:21,739 and we had no idea where he was. 505 00:47:22,773 --> 00:47:25,009 He didn't tell anyone where he had moved. 506 00:47:25,009 --> 00:47:27,078 He only called from public phones. 507 00:47:27,344 --> 00:47:29,680 He sometimes said he was in Delhi, and sometimes elsewhere. 508 00:47:36,854 --> 00:47:42,193 My dad used to hit Mom with whatever he could find. 509 00:47:42,693 --> 00:47:46,263 I used to intervene and tell him it wasn't right. 510 00:47:46,263 --> 00:47:51,535 Because if there are tensions at home again and again, 511 00:47:51,769 --> 00:47:53,537 I don't feel good about it. 512 00:47:53,537 --> 00:47:55,740 I want everybody to live happily. 513 00:47:58,142 --> 00:48:00,778 When they fought, they would both ask, 514 00:48:00,778 --> 00:48:03,614 "Who do you want to live with?" 515 00:48:04,415 --> 00:48:05,816 Who would we pick? 516 00:48:05,816 --> 00:48:08,619 We want to live with both of them. 517 00:48:09,987 --> 00:48:13,824 Once, Dad hit me with a big spoon. 518 00:48:14,258 --> 00:48:15,993 I was very sick at the time. 519 00:48:16,660 --> 00:48:19,230 So Mom felt very bad and asked Dad to 520 00:48:19,230 --> 00:48:21,799 go to his mother's house and cool off. 521 00:48:23,734 --> 00:48:26,570 He hasn't returned since. 522 00:48:27,638 --> 00:48:30,841 Now everybody stays quiet at home. 523 00:48:31,242 --> 00:48:34,578 Now everybody understands what life means. 524 00:48:38,315 --> 00:48:40,818 It feels strange since Daddy has left. 525 00:48:42,119 --> 00:48:44,789 Mummy's with us and that's all that matters to me. 526 00:49:06,010 --> 00:49:09,780 When Daddy left, we faced a lot of problems. 527 00:49:09,980 --> 00:49:15,052 We didn't have a single cent to spend. 528 00:49:17,688 --> 00:49:20,191 Dad left us a lot of problems. 529 00:49:20,191 --> 00:49:23,360 Strangers kept knocking at our door. 530 00:49:24,395 --> 00:49:27,198 We called Dad and asked him to pay 531 00:49:27,198 --> 00:49:30,301 people he owed but he didn't respond. 532 00:49:30,301 --> 00:49:32,136 Then he stopped calling. 533 00:49:34,471 --> 00:49:37,308 We used to live in Mira Road in a nice house. 534 00:49:37,875 --> 00:49:40,744 The rents were
