meeting that cannot be avoided.

You people go and come.

Okay shall we go?

Should play properly boy,

did you hear that?

Pappetta, bag.

You people go, we will

come when Saji arrives.

All right then.

Son, all the best.

Okay son.

I will also go along with them.

Should play nicely, did you hear?

Should watch every

ball and play nicely.

Sir.

Stand in the queue.

This application form.

That is what is said, stand in the queue.

What happened?

What did he say?

Told to stand in the queue.

You both go I will come there.

Is this, the boy?

He is a small child.

He will play very nicely.

What is his age?

Sorry not for young

children like him, the...

...selection is for the

children of age 12, 13, 14.

No sir.

The child will get injured, the

trials are done on hard ball.

Next.

Will come to know, on trying.

Can't you understand on saying?

There are chances up to

14 years of age, is it not?

Manoj, leave the things

whether the ball is hard or soft.

The selection is for under

14, below 14 years of age.

That is the rule.

Not that, whether the

child will look like 14 or not.

Or will he fear on seeing the hard

ball? That is not a criterion at all.

Collect the application form

Okay give the application.

Navas.

Is the duty over?

Yea over.

Pappetta.

How many children, this district team

selection is a big thing, is it not?

Did you hear what the

coach told other day,

...the district selection

is the first step?

Without getting an entry

in it, cannot move forward.

Likewise on going further and

further can reach till lndian team.

Otherwise, there is no use of playing

cricket in the village, like what we did.

Correct, our Rameshan itself,

how well he used to play.

Then did it make any benefit?

Is everyone ready?

Opening bats men and

new ball, bowlers be ready.

Each and everyone will be

called according to the order.

The selection is based on

the performance at the pitch.

Then.

Yes.

The function is about to start.

Is it?

Has it started?

They have entered there.

Come.

Note it.

Did you see that brother playing?

Should play like that.

What man?

Look there.

What happened?

Why are you getting scared?

Nothing.

Is there any bowlers among them,

who made you injured?

Over there.

What is there? Now you are playing,

with the ball much faster than this.

Play boldly man.

Kannan,

...when Sachin Tendulkar, was to

play the test cricket for the first time.

He had to face the

ball ofWaqar Younis,

...one of the fastest

bowlers of that time.

The first ball which was thrown by

Waqar was hit on Sachin's nose.

Blood came from the nose.

But Sachin remained in the

crease itself, with the wound.

But he replied it by hitting two

balls of Waqar, to the boundary.

Don't we have to

give a reply to the bowler,

...who had hurt you on the other day?

Yes we must.

Kannan, at the park on that

day what did you tell. father?

If he comes to bowl,

didn't you say will strike boldly?

You play boldly.

You can do it.

Son, you don't have to look

at that bowler's face at all.

His hand and his fingers, only that.

You play boldly.

Kannan, go.

Go.

Go man boldly.

I loved cricket not for any motive.

Even loving now, maybe what l

played will not be cricket at all.

Like how I loved the cricket,

now my son also loves cricket.

Now I'm seeing the dream, he

wearing the lndia's jersey.

I know, should walk

too far off distance and...

...should reach on top of a mountain.

As he walks his little legs shouldn't

get weakened, by holding his hands...

...I only need to be along with him.

Father did you say anything?

No, what man?

Felt like, as if told something.

Did you hear what Sachin

Tendulker said in the speech?

To be a good cricketer, it is

not merely playing cricket.

Should be a good human being,

should have great modesty.

Should require honesty.

Should have sincere effort.

Along with our dreams, should

work hard and reach for it.

Without any short cuts, only

in the straight paths.

Did you hear that?

Yes.

Come.

Within the hearts..

Within the hearts"

"The rhythm that every lndian sings

always resounds within my heart"
