 Hello, hello, hello, hello, hello. Practicing for when I answer the phone and it's a telemarketer, although that's typically not what I do. What do you do? I typically, if I see a number I don't know, I'll typically answer it and do something completely bizarre. I've answered the phone and said, it's buried, don't worry, I buried it out back. Or I've just answered the phone and went, ah, let's hang up. That's kind of what you do on this channel. Yeah. Josh! Hey, welcome back to our Stupid Directs, it's The Corbin. I'm Rick. And you can follow us on Instagram, Twitter for more juicy content. Thanks for paying attention to our accounts, for grabbing the like button. Today, we got a video. This is a Sachin Tenduco brought to tears by Virat Kohli's gesture. Oh. And so this is actually, I think they've kind of spiced together Virat Kohli talking about Sachin and Sachin talking about Virat Kohli. And so it's kind of like a goat talking about goats. And, okay, stuff like that. So let's just, I'm guessing he's brought to tears or, I don't know. I hope so. More they're just talking about each other. Yeah. Virat Kohli, who we visited with a couple of years ago here in Mumbai, your sessions with him in 2014 after his England series entailed what? I hadn't spoken much about that. There were a few areas he wanted to work on and we discussed. And he gives you a lot of credit. Yes, he, Virat is a good friend. And so pleased to see how his career has shaped, you know, in the last decade, how when he started, I was part of the team at that time. And I could see that fire in him. I could see that hunger in him. And from there on, how he's worked hard on his game, how he's changed his lifestyle to achieve what he's been able to achieve has been remarkable. And in 2014, I remember meeting him and we discussed a couple of things where I felt he could get better. What do you think he learned from him? I learned humility. I learned absolute commitment to the sport. And just after playing for 25 years for your country, still having the commitment to put the effort that he put when he was on the field is something which I think is a huge, huge learning for anyone, not just in sport, but I think across anything in life. Virat has been tremendous. He's done remarkably well. And there is so much to happen in his career from Europe. We all, at some stage in our career, we all need heroes. And then the players who have that impact on their generation, motivate so many guys. And then when I was growing up, there was Sunil Gavaskar. And he was that to you, you were that to Virat. How satisfying is it to be able to kind of work with the face of the next generation? I think I've always believed in helping players and sharing my knowledge, whatever inputs I have, always been open to that. And Virat had contacted me and he wanted me to spend some time with him, which I did. And like I said, that each generation, they look up to their hero and then that's how you set your dreams and you set your targets. And then you start chasing them. I remember growing up, he was the one who revolutionized the sport in this country, just purely because of the way he went on about things. You'll always have someone who will come and change the sport. So if you talk about basketball, you'll go over Jordan, the way he, just changed the whole outlook of the game and unlocked new abilities for people to believe in. And that's exactly what he did. What do you remember from the gift that he gave you? I was, I still remember it just had returned to the dressing room and I couldn't control my tears. Till then I knew, I mean, yes, I'm gonna retire, but when that ball was done, I said to myself, okay, that's it. Never ever in your life, you will walk out on the field as an international player for India. Imagine for 25 years, there's one name that's been constant in the Indian cricket team and now it's not gonna be there. We felt like, you know, how a child feels like when they're scared or they buy themselves at night, you know, walking home and you feel that sort of that hollow and that, you know, emptiness around you. All of us felt like that. So I was sitting in one corner alone with a towel on my head and wiping tears and I was really emotional. And at that time, Virat had come to me and Virat gave me the sacred thread that his father had given him. It was from his late father? Yes, absolutely. We usually wear threads around our wrist. In India, a lot of people do. So my father gave one to me, which he used to have. So I used to keep that with me in my bag and then I thought, this is the most valuable thing I have. So it's like my father gave this to me and I think I couldn't give you anything more valuable and I just want you to know how much you've inspired me and what you mean to all of us and this is my little gift to you. Kept that for a while and then returned that to him again. I said, this is priceless and this has to stay with you and no one else. This is your property and you should have it till your last breath. And I give it back to him. So that was an emotional moment. Something which will be always there in my memory forever. That's beautiful. Yeah, that's quite a gift. Yeah, quite a relationship. Be able to give that up. Right? Yeah, it shows you the depth of their relationship. And it really, it's probably like a Lebron Michael Jordan relationship between them. That's probably, I mean, if you guys know basketball, is that pretty accurate of a comparison? Those two are basically obviously one stooping the later in his career. Obviously Michael Jordan is, the consensus basically goat but obviously there's always conversation about Lebron but then you also got other goats like Coby. You got Coby and you got Wilts Chamberlain and a lot of people talk about magic and bird and so. Always at the top is going to be Lebron and Michael Jordan is how they're talking. So I guess that's, I know like their pedigree but obviously I don't know them as well as Indians know them. Yeah, and that's typical as well when people hit certain levels of success, those who've done it before them, they typically find a bond with each other in some way because no one else in the world can empathize at the level that that person can empathize. And that's why it means all the more to them and why you have moments like last year when Judge surpassed Roger Maris, his son was there and he had a bond happen between him and the Maris family because that's something that links them, that no one else in the world links in the way that that happened. So yeah. Yeah, we saw all such and play. We did, it was like. Sadly he was out way too soon but we got to see him in Sa-Chun, Sa-Chun, Sa-Chun. And then the crowd went silent. Yes. What was it? His third swing basically he popped it straight up. We're like, no. That was a, that was disappointing. I'm disappointed that I caught it. It's Sa-Chun, give him a break. Yeah, it's actually. It was an exhibition game. That's rude of you to catch it. Yeah, drop that thing. Something was in my eye. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know that I'd be able to. Also, I would never, I love that he gave it back to him. I would never be able to accept a gift like that. I'd be wild. Like if somebody was like, I know somebody I knew well, obviously, and they tried to give me that, I'm like, there. Thank you so much. That's extremely generous, but I cannot take that. That is too sentimental of an, and I appreciate the gesture and obviously just by the gesture, you know what you mean to them. Then why was it when I gave you that preserved piece of my dad's foreskin, you accepted it? No. You never gave it back, so where is it? Where is my dad's foreskin? That's the priest. Rude. Anyways, let us know in the videos we can react to down below. Juice!
