So I guess the IPL tested your resilience in a different way.

How hard you could party.

And how hard you could travel.

Oh, God.

Is it swinging in or out?

So obviously those parties, as far as we know, don't exist anymore.

But the big change is, of course, the money being one of them.

The money that goes into this tournament, let's just be honest, is ridiculous.

It transformed lives, didn't it?

Especially if you want to get to the top.

So then when IPL came, it kind of just changed the game.

Well, this was going to be my next question because as we kind of talk about the auction, the teams are kind of set now for this year's tournament.

There seems to be this emphasis, like Faraz mentioned, on the uncapped players, on the, I guess, nurturing the homegrown talent.

How important is that?

They are the powerhouse when it comes to cricket.

There is no doubt about that.

These are blockbuster games.

These are blockbuster finishes that we're seeing.

Well, we were talking about this, weren't we?

That it is those pitches, I'm sorry, are just made for batters.
