Cricket: Shubman and Why It Matters

This is guest the cricketer and ladies and gentlemen I'm here with one of the biggest rising stars of cricket the prince of all Indians. [screaming] Thank you. How are you? I'm very good. I'm over here with you. All right. Are we ready? Bring on the cricketers. Here's how it works. Six contestants walk in, all claiming to be a professional cricketer, but only one of them is telling the truth. We've got five rounds. In each round, we question them, test them, break them down, and at

the end of every round, one person gets eliminated. So many takes. Big fan. Hey yo, don't give me a limp, man. Don't give me a lip. Chill. Where you going? Number two. All right. Okay, number two's excited. Round one, first impression. From the get- go, can you tell who's the cricketer? I think number two. Wait, you think it's number two? So, from the looks of it, I think it could be number two. Look, if it's the wherever Sugan says, I believe.

Honestly, I can't believe I'm sitting next to him. This is crazy. How about you? I think it's number six cuz he so confident. You know what I mean? Like just talking from the get- go. I think it's number six. Yeah, number six. too confident. I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing. Like he maybe is the cricketer or maybe he's just putting on something. But I mean, yeah. Number six. I don't trust this guy, man. He's still too much. I don't know why he's coming at me. Okay. Who do you think isn't the cricket?

Well, if I'm saying number six, then obviously then the rest aren't. No. I know. But who is like the most Oh, like definitely not. Yeah. Number three. He's here on Vice, BRO. OKAY. All right. So, looking at number three, there's no way he's the cricketer. I just don't believe it. And maybe in some world he's the cricketer, but not in this one. Number one. Yeah. What is your name and age? My name is Vicki Rat, 26 year old. Okay. Hi, I'm ask relax. Why are you so keen, MAN?

YO, YOU MIGHT BE RIGHT. You know, he's he's always trying to take over the stage and everything. All right. Number two. What's your name and age? Yes Singh Chan and I'm 22. Okay. Number three. Hi, I'm Swen L and my age is 24. Number four. Hi, I'm Ashish Gowami, 26 years old. Okay. Number five, I'm a Kumar and I'm 27. Uh, number six. Hi, Asan Sharaaj and I'm 22. M so much confidence from him, man.

All right. Uh, are you a batter or a bowler? Bowler. Me, sir. Let's see your form. Yeah, we can. Can you do your action? Yeah. Jeez, that was not bad. You're sure it's number two? Okay, I'm impressed. I wasn't too sure number six, especially cuz he was giving me so much lip, but what a bowl. Hey yo, number three. You're a batsman or I'm a batsman. Oh, a batsman. Okay. All right. Let's see your form. Yeah. Let's see. Let's see a straight drive.

Yeah. Okay. No way. No. EVEN THE WICKED DON'T BELIEVE YOU. EVEN THE WICKED SAID, "NO, I'M OUT." NO. That is one of the funniest thing. Even the wicket doesn't believe that he's a cricketer, man. He doesn't know the shot. I asked him to play a straight drive. He stepped out. How was that a straight drive? How is that a straight drive? That's a step out. Do you want £1,000? All you got to do is subscribe. That's it. Yes. Should we give him one more chance? One more chance. Maybe he's a bowler.

Okay. Yeah, he might be a bowler. All right. Do you want a bowl? I want to see his bowling action. Yeah. Nobody does that. Oh, suit. I think your time might be up, man. You sure you want to keep him? Honestly, I like him. You like him? All right. From looks alone, I'm going to say number five. Yeah. I knew he I'm going to vote him out. This guy, he's not giving me the look of a cricketer. I might be wrong, but I think I'm right.

Go number three. 100%. Number three. Keep number three for vibes, man. Yeah. All right. I'm voting number five. Uh Sha, what you who you voting for? I can't get past three. All right. So, you're going three. Yeah. I've gone five. Who you going for, bro? It's on you. I like number three. I'm going to say number five. Sorry. We don't really grill him, but he there's no way he's a cricketer. He I don't see him diving for a ball. I don't see him, you know, willing to get his hair messy. Yeah. Okay. Number five. You've been eliminated.

Thank you. Take care. Take care, man. Round two, cricket IQ test. Ned, any questions you want to ask? Okay. When do the finals happen? The champion finals at the last when uh No, but like No, but like when does it happen? That's my answer. At the last What's your question? I didn't understand. So, all right. Okay. So, normally when does it happen? Like the finals. I'm not getting your answer question. B said I'm good. I don't want to ANSWER YOUR QUESTION. YOU GOING TO ASK ME? OKAY. SO, I set myself up there for failure cuz obviously it is the last. But at the same time, I thought maybe he would give me a date that you know it

would happen, but at the same time that doesn't make sense. I messed up. Okay. What's the biggest stadium where cricket happens? In the world. You don't even know if that's correct or not. India. You know what? I was waiting for you just looking at him LIKE we lost the 2023 World Cup over there only. Yes. So, I'm going to assume that's correct because I looked at Shubman and he um he nodded. So, if he nods, then yeah, it's most likely correct.

All right. Uh number one, are you a batsman or a bowler? Wicked keeper. Yeah. So you're just at the back just and that's all you do. Name five Indian wicket keepers who have represented India. Uh Rishak Pan and Dhoni and uh he's not very number two. Can you explain what reverse swing? How reverse swing happens? Uh when ball gets older. Yeah. Then automatically they reverse like one side rough and it's automatically reverse. Which side will it reverse? Huh?

Shiny side. On the shiny side. Why does the ball swing towards the shiny side? What's the science behind it? Just because of lightweight. This is a shiny part. Has he passed? He's got half knowledge. So I don't if he's the kind of a cricketer who doesn't know is not a cricketer. He's got half knowledge. Okay. It seemed like he had the knowledge, but he wasn't delivering the whole knowledge. So, I got a little suspicious. That was a little sus.

Number three. So, you're Are you a batsman? Yeah. Okay. What is your favorite shot? Sweep. Right. Okay. How does a batsman generally get out when they are sweeping? The keeper take the catch. One and three are not cricketers. Wait. Okay. Would it be would it would you would it be an LBW? Yes. Or a Bold? Did you get out an LBW or a Bold? Yeah. I got out like Kipper taking my catch. Yeah. All right. Yo, I love number three, man.

He's here for a good time. Not a long time. You know what I mean? He ain't throwing any balls, man. What do you want to ask number four? Yeah, we haven't really asked him before anything. Are you all right? Are you a batsman or a bowler? bowler. You want to see his action? Okay. Yeah. Can you do your action? Yeah. Oh, he's Oh, he's clean. Clean the Oh. Oh, that was bad. Even I know that was bad. That So, that was meant to be fast.

Yeah. That was a little bit suspicious from number four. He um came in with the right technique like rubbing the uh the ball on his trousers but then that bowl was just what's what's the word for that? Um bad. He's a good gully cricketer. I THINK LIKE A REALLY good street. Like if you have placed a bet with a friend, you'd call him cuz you know he plays good. Number six. I was saying he has asked me he's ask me man you know what I mean he's so confident so far he looks like yeah so I high probability of him being a well you thought it was number two no number two had half knowledge

yeah number one doesn't know what's going on I'm a good okay number six name five bowlers named Dumra name five Sri Lankan fast bowlers Malinga Uh Maling uh Malinga Chamira uh I'm going have to give you time there, bro. Any other country you can ask? All right. Okay. England, abroad, Anderson. Uh wait, wait. I'm I'm thinking he's so fast in the first two. This guy every time is so confident for the first two and then just blanks. Ah, so number six, he was very good at just naming two players from a country and then after that his brain just stopped working.

He still could be the cricketer. I'm going to vote for number one. Oh, really? Okay. Well, I mean my vote doesn't matter but I will say number one, too. Number one, you have to go. I'm sorry. Take care. H. Number one is cute, man. But I got to admit, he had no clue what was going on. Round three. Onfield instinct. Sage. Hello. Do you want to bat? Who's the bowler again? We'll say number six. Let him bowl at you, bro. Don't look at me like that. Did you see what he did?

He might not go that fast. You never know. Okay. So, I don't know if uh you saw him originally bowl with no ball. The dexterity from that bowl scared me. So, I knew if that was coming my way. I'm gone. Have you ever bred in your life? Um like year 1, year two when I was like six, seven. Okay. Let's see. Okay. I didn't even mean to do that. All right. Dej. Uh. Okay. Why are you holding it like that? No, I'm getting it ready. I mean, with the way Deji's holding this bat, the only thing he's hitting is his ancestors, man. So, I was just charging up the bat cuz uh if you guys haven't watched anime,

you should know by now that when it comes to like intense moments, like they just get a superpower and I was just harnessing mine. Are you ready? I'm ready. Double six. Are you ready? All right. Bowl. Oh. Oh my eyes. [screaming] That was too quick. One more chance, BUDDY. I WANT ONE MORE. NO, I WANT I GOOD. HE DESTROYED your stone. Honestly, Deji, just lie. Lie there and you'll protect the wicket, man. Lose some goddamn weight, Dej. Okay. All right. I got a little void. I don't like him anymore. I don't like him.

Bad play number six. Fair play. Number four. You were a bowler as well? Yeah. Okay. Um Yeah, he was a batsman. WAIT. OH, HE SAID I'm a batsman. And then we asked him, "Can you bowl?" He said, "Uh yeah, I So, so what are you now?" No, it's a round. Yeah. Oh, you do everything. Number four. I slept up nut. Show me a sweep. I have my doubts. Now, what kind of sweep is that? Let me show you what a sweep is. Look at that form. Huh? Look at it. Oh, ball out of the park.

I'm I'm a little rusty. I'm a little rusty, MAN. Don't That was more than rusty. Yeah, I didn't think there was any uh iron on the rod. It wasn't just rusty. There was nothing in there. It was quite bad. All right, listen. My batting is the strong point. Anything to do with throwing, catching, it ain't me. Okay. Leave me alone. All right. Number three. Our favorite. He said he was a batsman, right? Yeah. I'll bowl to him. Okay.

Yeah. That'll be sick. Okay. So, let me TAKE OFF THE Let me take this. Oh, it's serious now. OKAY. Shaking the head, man. Okay. What? So, what was that? What shot was that? Yeah. Straight drive. Okay. But no, nice balling. Nice calling. Right. Thank you. Okay. True. Were you a bowler, batsman? I'm allrounder. But batsman as a talander.

We want to see how you would catch a ball. Okay. You have to catch it with your left hand. Okay. Onehanded. It's It's okay, right? Huh? No. I'm ready. Okay. Anywhere. You can throw anywhere. Oh, you can throw anywhere. Like here in my area. Okay. Any speed. Huh? Oh, no. My area. That's too far. I broke the wall. I guess I don't know my own strength, huh? Also, maybe it was a little wide the flow. I can't believe I broke the wall.

He did say he could catch anything to be fair. He didn't catch that one there. Not good for hand eye coordination. Oh, okay. That was good. That was quite It's not if he was actually catching it. I was not looking at the catch, but the manner of the technique of the hand was very impressive. All right. It's definitely between two and three. Those two actually number three. All right. You know what? I'm going to vote out four. I'm keeping three for vibes. Yeah. I'm the same then. You're Why you doing four?

Yeah. I do four. Okay. All right. Let's be honest. It's between number two and number six. I don't know which one yet, so I'm going to get rid of four and keep three for five. Number four, your time is up. Thank you so much. Thank you. Take care. Round four. Dressing room realities. Number three. We'll start with number three. I'll give him a scenario. Okay. What level do you play at? Like what team do you play for? Uh Jarant. Yeah. I've been living in Patna and uh Okay.

Yeah. Banar. So that's why Okay. You play for what? Ranja trophy team. Under 16, under 19, 23. Under 19. Yeah. How old are you? 24. Wait. So, HOW YOU PLAY FOR UNDER 19? SEE, SEE, I have played for that team earlier. Yeah. Earlier, not now. Wait. Earlier. When you say earlier, like when did you play? Five years back. 5 6 years back. 7 years back. Yeah. I was playing. That's not really That's for earlier, bro. Five, six, seven, eight.

I've been playing with them. I've been playing with them for last like 8 years back LIKE UH SEE HOW 5 years back till 5 years back I'm I like number three. I know he's not the cricketer but vibes 10 out of 10. Are you the best in your team? There are some more people but I'm the best after some more people. after like the 14 other is this guy okay? He's It doesn't make any sense. The other team scored you a fielding. They scored 360 runs in a one day match. You are fielding. Your fielding is done. Now the match the one inning is in is completed. The coach is giving you a pep talk on how you want to chase the 360

runs. What pep talk do you think the coach would give? H So there they have scored 360 and I'm opening. Yeah. No, no, you are the batsman. You will decide. You said you're the number one batsman. You play at your position, right? Okay. So, I'll play at third or fourth. Yeah. Second down or third down. So, I'll play at second or third down. Openers will start fast. Then they should get out. No, no, cuz then you can play faster. No, nothing like that. See, at least they have to complete at least they have to do 150 or 200 like 100 at least.

Okay. At least 100. Number two, you said you were a main bowler first or a bet. Opposite scenario. You were the ones betting and now you have to defend only 220 runs in a one-day match. What do you think the coach would give you the pep talk? What would the pep talk to you? If I'm being honest, I have no idea what's going on. You know what? He's doing something that's kind of like making sense now. Like I feel like it might be him. All right, last but not least. Deji, you want to chip in after hearing my question as confidant?

I got you. All right, so you're winning. What's the pep talk? What's the pep talk in the changing room? Just focus on whatever the momentum is right now and let's win it. All right. Now, opposite. You're losing. What's the pep talk? Focus on the dot balls. But if we are bowling, focus on the dot balls. Yeah. Uh take as many wickets as soon as possible. Okay. Yeah. If I'm being honest with this round, no one is giving me confidence. Well, I'm going to vote for number three. I don't know who you guys are voting for. Number three for sure.

I'm voting number two. I LIKE number three is my favorite person of all time. I want to party with number three. I want to be your best friend. Still unfortunately number three. You've got too many votes which means you are finally gone. Thanks. Can I shake? Of course. Round five playoff. This is a mental and physical challenge for both of them. Are you guys ready? All set. Super ready. I don't know about them, but this is I'm protected. I mean, look at the padding on this is pristine. Like nothing can hurt me.

Well, let's have you guys play against each other. You're number two is you're allrounder, right? He was a bowler. You are a proper bowler. I can ball if you if he wants I can ball. No, no. You will bat. Number two will Okay. Let's do it. And you also have to uh spray each other like how in a match it happens. Wait. Spray each other. Yeah. There's a lot of spraying. Explain what you mean by spraying. All right. So, this is the first time I'm hearing this whole spraying thing. So, I sounded a little mad. I can't lie. So sledging is basically winding the

other player up. You have to actually know the player and know a little bit about him to be able to give him a good psychological sledge. Number six. Let's see a little bit of spraying. Spray on number two. Yeah. Wait, did that just happen? Yeah, it happened. Yeah, it's very slight. It's like cuz it's everything is so focused like it's like the light. Oh. four. So, number six is undermining number two. I think I believe you call it spraying. He's He's spraying all over number two. And number two shouldn't have that. Don't let

another man spray on you. That's mental work. Oh, you definitely him, bro. It's not possible to play with such a short distance. And he bowled at quite a good pace. Yeah, he bowled at a very decent pace. Like what do you just It's impossible to play cuz the distance is too short. Generally in a cricket pitch is 20 m long. 20 yards. Okay. 22 yards. 20 m. Yeah. Okay. Now you can now opposite rules. I like that. I like it. You want me to fledge now?

You want me to do spin or fast? Fast bowl. How he bowl to you? Yeah. A little fast. And also SPRAY HIM. SPRAY HIM RIGHT NOW, BRO. All right, let me try some sledging or spraying. All right. Woo. That's right. Did that hurt? No. Thought you aimed for your balls there. He's You're aiming for future generations as well. Not just he's aiming for all generations. Okay. Is that B is that bowl and technique good? The last one that we bow was pretty decent but this one wasn't. Yeah, this one was so right now who do you think?

60 40. Okay. Doing a little Oh, okay. He's a good gal cricketer. Like who were you impressed with the most? Number two's bowling was really good. Yeah. And his batting after what Shman said. I'm leaning more to number six. It's just because of that first round that bowl was just like was good, man. Shan, why you who you vote for? Cuz I'm just going to follow what you do, bro. I have no idea still. I have a good thing. Okay. If you both are fast bowlers, I want to see you tell me the grip and the release of how an outswing would be.

So the shiny side would be on the left side and the grip would be like this and uh it will be out swinging. How would you release it? How would you Uh [screaming] he's a YouTube cricketer. Oh snap. Do the same thing. you know. Okay. What would your seam position be? Legend. Okay. Well done. So, I looked at Shubman and he looked back at me. We both nodded. There was a little bit of spark there. No, not like that. No, don't don't move, man. So, uh I'm locking in number two. That's what my shman gut is saying. I didn't know cricket was so technical, but I think it's time for us to finally vote for the cricketer. All right, I think it's unanimous. We

believe that number two is the cricketer. All right, bring back the other cricketers imposters like please. Yes. Can the real professional cricketer come forward? What? Huh? No. That's Wait. Yeah. [screaming] Let's go. Yes. I told you it was number two from the star ring. Too easy. Number one. Like what do you do? What do you do for work? Come down. Actor. Okay. Number three. Mr. Party, man. What are you? Hi. I'm an actor.

Okay. I'm a stock trader. Okay. Yeah. And a banker. That's quite a resume. Yeah. With some money, man. Okay. All right. Number four. What are you? I'm actor and model. Uh number five. Uh I am an actor. Theater actor. And number six. I just finished my college and uh I pretty good. You were pretty good. But I am into acting also. I started that's why I was acting and you didn't get it. Till the last moment. till the swing. He was right up there. Thank you so much for coming through to the channel, man. Absolute pleasure.
