🙏🏻 Ashwin, Oru ☝️ neyar viruppam. Can you release the music track 🎵 as a separate RUclips video? That's the best thing 👌 about this Kutti Story series. I can keep listening to it on repeat mode 🎧 . Especially all through this world cup 🏆 . .
@@AshwinRavi99 Anna unfair. Getting 1000 to like will be hard. The show is so interesting that people are going and checking scorecards and stats. Please release the music track.
He bowled 10 overs every match he played AND batted at no 4 AND was a gun fielder at point. We are desperately missing a top order batsman who can bowl at least 5 overs in an ODI.
So so glad you mentioned Suresh Raina, those 30s in quarter and semi were top knocks. Imagine the pressure esp in Semi against Pakistan, he was the one who took us beyond 250 total.
Finally heard somebody talking GG ..what a player he was .. if only he had the PR agenxy half as good as others he would have been such a national hero .. what a pity
@@busypandey Once again, lies. Nobody did? Everyone did talk about the winning moment yes. But only a few claimed that it was all Dhoni. And Dhoni never took credit for anything.
Harsha was so right about Sachin. As much as that World Cup was a farewell to Sachin, it certainly helped that he scored. Sachin was the tournament's second highest scorer, just 18 runs behind Dilshan.
The one person who acted as a glue for the whole team in 2011 was Gary Kirsten. His contribution is intangible. Sad he was not mentioned at least once in the episode
Dhoni is crucial for 2 things. Post his arrival he taught India how to finish games in ODIs. 90s fans are used to seeing matches where India could have closed out matches by batting 50 overs but collapsed by 40-45 overs. Another is fitness. People think its Virat. But actually its Dhoni under whom Virat himself got fit. Dhoni taught the power of fitness helps in converting singles to doubles. And then ofcourse six hitting power.
Yuvi is just an absolute legend ..... Watching him hitting sixes was just another shot ....... That backflow , that bat swing .... That aggression , elegance , class ........ All about him was just amazing ... Bewildering ..... The most unfortunate part is that we can't be having someone like him anymore .... Players like him are born once in a generation ... We won't be having someone like him again .... Love you yuvi ... Love you and miss you legend ❤❤❤
This is the best cricket podcast episode I have ever scene. The chemistry between the Ashwin and Harsha is world class and their passion for India and cricket is infectious
@SirSumitGupta I would have abused you brutally but I won't. I would just say one thing if any time you will become 1% of what he is now then come back and troll.
Im into 4:58 and I already feels like this video will trend big in YT and this 30 mins content is a tribute from the legends in the video to the legendary captain of all time..❤
Our man Ashwin doesn't know while recording this video that he will be there in the squad for WC 2023 that's what hard work and dedication towards your passion will offer ❤
I am just an ordinary human full of forgetfulness. I Do not remember ball after ball incidents. Yet this conversation was like listening to Illayaraja sir's songs without remembering the lyrics and still getting goosebumps. Just honest conversation between two passionate people brings joy to people like us. Credit to both Ash and Harsha Bhogle sir taking us back from the 70's until today.
Always a big fan of Ash, but Harsha owns this episode. It is wonderful how subtly they end up changing their roles. Full credits to Harsha on playing the second fiddle and let Ash express his thoughts with full passion. It is not for nothing that Harsha is called the voice of cricket!
Goosebumps are real , i still get tears of joy remembering those knocks from YUVI in Quarter Final and MSD in Final, and that HUG of GOD AND LEGEND , It decodes as God crafted MSD for this moment You guys know who is GOD OF CRICKET. Thank you for such an amazing episode ❤️ Lots of LOVE AND RESPECT @Ashwin
Finally someone had put some respect on my man Suresh Raina. Played two great innings in the two most important matches (we also know how India plays currently in important matches like semis with a lot of pressure) and never bragged about it. He deserved as much praise as Sachin, Gambhir and Yuvraj got.
Can you tel one unknown player 2011 team is entirely Ganguly team players like shewag,zaheer, harabhajan,sachin ,yuvraj , munaf , nehra gambhir,Raina, shreesanth is dravid team ..only virat ,Ashwin are team..2013 champions trophy is dhoni team
It's more difficult to captain the team with too many senior players difficult then captaning junior it's not only about 2011 world cup why didn't India win 2003 world cup with these players then 2003 was best Indian world cup team

Lovely....GG got the recognition not that he needed....but Sachin was the one who scored in all matches ...we take it for granted cuz it's Sachin Tendulkar God but still he scored most run in all world cups
Goosebumps after the build up.. when Ash said it was (world cup) win of a common man !! These two are geniuses.. Get you so intrigued into the convo and you forget everything..
👥👏 Keep it up "HARSHWIN"... Your partnership is beginning to shape up like the legendary partnerships in Indian cricket ~Dravid & Laxman and the timeless Bollywood composer duos ~ Shankar-Jaikishen, Laxmikant-Pyarelal... May the " Jugalbandi" continue 👯‼️
How many times I got goose bumps during this show!!!!! I would watch this episode whenever my morale is down! Gives immense belief!! Great idea of bringing in Harsha! Thank you so much Ashwin!!!
Zaheer khan! The superstar and unsung hero of the 2011 worldcup should have recognised and celebrated more. Without him the story would have been different 😶. Legend❤
On the point of the pressure from expectation of the entire country... If I am not mistaken, MS Dhoni came out and said it's not an added pressure... We see it as an added responsibility... Don't recall the exact sentence but he told something of that kind.... And I must say this perspective was both refreshing and powerful.
According to me if the captain is strong the team is strong ..! Best captain I have seen till date for India. Any tournament he plays ICC or IPL proves his ability as a leader…! All the other players in that world cup mostly retired the only player who is still the poster boy of IPL till today is Dhoni ..!
The story of the players and the two great story tellers it's like I didn't want the episode to end. I had goosebumps you guys are amazing. All the best for the world cup we want the similar stories next time but of 2023. No matter which game you will play know that we support team India.
2011 was destined to happen because of this reason, and the big big reason was what Harsha said, we had batters who could ball and give that extra overs with wickets! We had a team who wanted to jump in and take the opportunities thrown at you. Now at 2023, it will be phenomenal if we win the world cup, if not we are surely going to see many fingers pointed against the captain, coach and management. The number of players we have omitted is long.
Absolutely.... absolutely.... correct, when you say Dhoni is a film director. I always felt, he used to play his crunch games as thriller movies. Thala 🙏🙏
As a Dhoni fan we have a huge amount of respect towards Gambhir for what he had done in 2007 T20 WC and 2011 WC.. Without him for sure definitely we would have lost those 2 World Cups!! We won't hate him for sure.! But when we remember on the WC cup wins we wont be mentioning Gambhir, Hayden, Jayasurya, Gavaskar, Akram, Viv Richards, David Boon or Shane Warne but yes for sure each and everyone make their contribution for winning the trophy for their team but the captain of the ship is more important and that too Dhoni was not just the captain he changed the entire Indian team into a phenomenally strongest ever in the world from 2007 to 2011 And that's why we celebrate Dhoni every year on the day of World cup Win of 2011 ❤
Still remembering that I had tears when MS hit that six and Ravi made that commentary.... even if we win many and more trophies.. That 2011 Final was something else...
And I guess, that 2011 Indian team is a different emotion, whomsoever who was watching cricket in India, they had full faith and affection towards that team and I guess that's what motivated them to Brought the WC Home for us... Not Sure about 2023, but as always as an average Indian Cricket Fan, I wish We will somehow win this tournament for our current players who have given all their things for us on the Game...
12:50 I think a lot of people need to hear this...At the end of the day,its a TEAM..they are playing under INDIA not for themselves..Everyone has their contributions and we must respect everyone of them for their game
@Ashiwin - For good reasons these episodes are becoming an addiction. Two main reasons are 1. Getting to know so much of insights about the game and how things happens around great moments. 2. Keep hearing about the great man's contribution to each and everyone even at his peak and moving forward. And you both not leaving any stones unturned. I always said and felt the 30 odd made by Suresh Raina in the quarter finals against Australia, that is one of my all time favorite innings. And of course you folks didn't miss out on the great player like Gautam Gambhir and his contributions. Yuvi had always been a great ambassador of the white ball formats. Dhoni ofcourse he marched like a King at every game with his gat brains. Each and every second of you conversation is more passion for the game and love for the game without missing any insights. Love you guys forever. Thank you Ashwin.
Ah, thank you for this episode. It's always a pleasure to relive the triumph of 2011, in whatever medium it reaches us. Felt goosebumps towards the end, once again, as often happens when someone talks about the 2011 WC glory. It's a nostalgia we all carry, and the legend will be told and retold in many tongues, in many ways, as long as cricket exists as a force in India.
Thanks Ash & Harsha, this is not just beautiful revisiting our glorious past, there is so much of life lessons in these conversations,goes way beyond just cricket. Wonderful
One thing I think they missed to mention is the improvement in the running between the wickets that improved drastically in the middle overs during that period
Hi Ashwin, Great episode and thanks for that ! Mentioning the Indian players of 2011 - there was no mention on Virendra Schewag who hit first ball 4 in almost all the matches! What a great opener he was in both Test and White Ball cricket.
Literally I'm getting goose bumps more than 2k gen 19k gen have the intensity on fire....uff I really enjoyed it. I many not in their dressing room but when they discussed it felt like I'm among one of them
So happy to see this. While we all are huge fans of the legendary SRT and Thala MSD, can’t forget the contribution of Yuvi Paaji, who in my opinion is one of the best to have ever played the game. Not to forget Suresh Raina’s super knocks and Gautam Gambhir. Without doubt, Gambhir has been a phenomenal player for Team India and needs standing ovation from one and all!
The point about GG ❤ Was always a team Man. Just that People misinterpreted his statement That Team is more important than Individuals... But he deserved more love for all his achievements.. Ash anna on the point
While the broadcasters are failed to deliver that WORLD CUP VIBE so, there is RAVI ASHWIN & HARSHA BHOGLE are doing that stuff for us. And desperately waiting for RAVI SHASTRI to do the rituals in his style.❤
I still remember that 2011 quarter final against australia When yuvi and raina came together at the end, it was a tense situation the required run rate, back then, in the pre ipl madness era, seemed a lot when it actually wasn't India probably needed 60/70, but it was against lee and co, defending world conquerors one perfect yorker landed, and possibly the match would be over born in 96, I honestly didn't have much expectations from the team, but ganguly's revolutionary 11, who brought back trust and loyalty into the fans, deserved it winning it this time around would be way more challenging. But given the batting unit performs, intending to dominate, escaping a few potential dews, I think they can go the distance australia and the england game in the group are a must win On the night of iconic 2nd april, 2011, we went out for a casual walk nearby. And the generally empty streets were suddenly seeing a lot of people cricket is the invisible religion in india. Hopefully it never gets reduced to only the ipl. Future generations too should understand that bharata as a nation is an emotion of a different magnitude altogether. Dhanyawaad
Wild card entry of Aswin is the one I was looking for.. In This world cup, aswin you have something to do... you cannot be a Yuvraj, but You can be a piston of an engine and keep enthe engine moving...
Thank you ash for giving the true picture of gautam gambhir. Today people sledge him because he had banter with kohli on ground but they forget what gautam gambhir was. He fought with shahid afridi, kamran akmal, the giant Shane Watson when kohli was teenager.
Thats magic. we can feel it and enjoy. Great insights into the game. As ashwin pointed out, opportunity ll come to you and we have to be ready for it. Absolutely right and that has happened to Ashwin to enter this world cup also. Waiting for that moment of glory again.
Uncontrollable tears rolling down thinking of that moment ..these cricketers gave us and continue to give us so much of joy and we should take it for granted its the players who are most dispointed than us the fans .. and we have to stand with the team when we lose more than when we do well ... as a die-hard and passionate cricket fans i feel thats the least we could do Be with the team when they fail as well .. and not abuse and invade their personal space and abuse them especially in SM
2011 world cup India had the greatest middle order in white ball ever .... The legends of Yuvraj Singh....The destroyer Suresh Raina....The Bahubali Mahendra Singh Dhoni ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Aswin bhai ..ur the main player of Indian cricket team in 2023... because Australia, England, newzealand, South Africa.. match in ur hand .. please jaan laga dena...jeetne ke liye.. best of luck
Honestly before Asia cup I was slightly sceptical about INDIA's chances but a month later m super confident about us winning especially with ur inclusion our side is extremely balanced
not to forget, Zak's impeccable 5 over spell at the start of that world cup final. something like 1 or 2 runs in 5 overs. Not many remember about it, but it was key to ensuring India chases a much lesser score at the end.
A beautiful beautiful discussion! One of the best I've watched. Ash, you have such a great disposition. You are so talented! You should be proud! This was rightfully the best episode of the series! 🎉❤
Teared up listening to this episode. Great conversation touching upon the nuances and acknowledging everyone who contributed incl Munaf who has been forgotten since.
I was a kid during 2011WC. I know cricket, used play and used to hear a lot about matches from friends but I didn't know what it means to lift the cup or I knew nothing about pressure or what's at stake. So during the finals, I was on my way home from school and some cricket fans arranged live telecast through a projector and GG was batting in a pressure conditions. I stood there on road leaving my bag and cycle, I can't forget what I experienced. GG's batting reminded me the quote never give up. Oh God! Hadn't I watched that match, maybe I wouldn't have become a cricket fan and I'm glad I watched it.
That ravi shastris commentary at the end was an icing on the cake .. Even when yuvraj hit six sixes .. When Sreesanth took the final catch in 2007... it was his commentary in the background like a bgm to top it all .. Excited for 2023 ..hope all we Indians have a memorable world cup

Yuvraj was a once in a generation player. We still don’t have anyone like him in the team after all these years.

Ah, thank you for this episode. It's always a pleasure to relive the triumph of 2011, in whatever medium it reaches us. Felt goosebumps towards the end, once again, as often happens when someone talks about the 2011 WC glory. It's a nostalgia we all carry, and the legend will be told and retold in many tongues, in many ways, as long as cricket exists as a force in India.
Finally in an open forum gauti got the deserving credits from 2 of the best cricketing minds. That man deserves much more respect and recognition
By far my favorite episode!!!! ❤
CANT WAIT FOR THE NEXT ONE!
Thanks Ash & Harsha, this is not just beautiful revisiting our glorious past, there is so much of life lessons in these conversations,goes way beyond just cricket. Wonderful
Glad they spoke about Raina ...❤
One thing I think they missed to mention is the improvement in the running between the wickets that improved drastically in the middle overs during that period
Hi Ashwin, Great episode and thanks for that ! Mentioning the Indian players of 2011 - there was no mention on Virendra Schewag who hit first ball 4 in almost all the matches! What a great opener he was in both Test and White Ball cricket.
yeah but he mentioned it earlier around 7 min mark
Literally I'm getting goose bumps more than 2k gen 19k gen have the intensity on fire....uff I really enjoyed it. I many not in their dressing room but when they discussed it felt like I'm among one of them
So happy to see this. While we all are huge fans of the legendary SRT and Thala MSD, can’t forget the contribution of Yuvi Paaji, who in my opinion is one of the best to have ever played the game. Not to forget Suresh Raina’s super knocks and Gautam Gambhir. Without doubt, Gambhir has been a phenomenal player for Team India and needs standing ovation from one and all!
Every single word on this episode gave me freaking goosebumps and tears of happiness. Thank you guys!!❤
The point about GG ❤ Was always a team Man. Just that People misinterpreted his statement That Team is more important than Individuals... But he deserved more love for all his achievements.. Ash anna on the point
While the broadcasters are failed to deliver that WORLD CUP VIBE so, there is RAVI ASHWIN & HARSHA BHOGLE are doing that stuff for us. And desperately waiting for RAVI SHASTRI to do the rituals in his style.❤
Two of India's sharpest cricketing minds! It makes for a compelling watch!
Gautam Gambhir the highest scorer in both WC finals! What perfect depiction of the mvp 13:17
Very Happy with the Raina's Praise
I still remember that 2011 quarter final against australia
When yuvi and raina came together at the end, it was a tense situation
the required run rate, back then, in the pre ipl madness era, seemed a lot when it actually wasn't
India probably needed 60/70, but it was against lee and co, defending world conquerors
one perfect yorker landed, and possibly the match would be over
born in 96, I honestly didn't have much expectations from the team, but ganguly's revolutionary 11, who brought back trust and loyalty into the fans, deserved it
winning it this time around would be way more challenging. But given the batting unit performs, intending to dominate, escaping a few potential dews, I think they can go the distance
australia and the england game in the group are a must win
On the night of iconic 2nd april, 2011, we went out for a casual walk nearby. And the generally empty streets were suddenly seeing a lot of people
cricket is the invisible religion in india. Hopefully it never gets reduced to only the ipl. Future generations too should understand that bharata as a nation is an emotion of a different magnitude altogether. Dhanyawaad
Wild card entry of Aswin is the one I was looking for..
In This world cup, aswin you have something to do... you cannot be a Yuvraj, but You can be a piston of an engine and keep enthe engine moving...
Ashwin your Dhoni fan boy literally came out here ❤❤
Ohh the 2011 World Cup.... What a Day it was 😊😊
Thank you ash for giving the true picture of gautam gambhir. Today people sledge him because he had banter with kohli on ground but they forget what gautam gambhir was. He fought with shahid afridi, kamran akmal, the giant Shane Watson when kohli was teenager.
Dhoni will always have the greatest legacy in Indian cricket
Thats magic. we can feel it and enjoy. Great insights into the game. As ashwin pointed out, opportunity ll come to you and we have to be ready for it. Absolutely right and that has happened to Ashwin to enter this world cup also. Waiting for that moment of glory again.
Watching this a night before the IND vs AUS wc opener...such good moments of 2011..hope we have a great 23 campaign...All the best to team India
The best cricket talk show... kutti stories has been just a treat for all cricket lovers. Thanks Ashwin and Harsha
Uncontrollable tears rolling down thinking of that moment ..these cricketers gave us and continue to give us so much of joy and we should take it for granted its the players who are most dispointed than us the fans .. and we have to stand with the team when we lose more than when we do well ... as a die-hard and passionate cricket fans i feel thats the least we could do
Be with the team when they fail as well .. and not abuse and invade their personal space and abuse them especially in SM
2011 world cup India had the greatest middle order in white ball ever .... The legends of Yuvraj Singh....The destroyer Suresh Raina....The Bahubali Mahendra Singh Dhoni ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Ashwin simply peaked in this episode. Just look at the pride in his eyes.
This felt like an intro to a larger podcast. Need a 2 hour episode with Harsha if not more about the 2011 WC.
Ash and Harsha are room mates guys !!!! They are releasing episodes after episodes 😂❤
😂😂
It was lovely Ash anna!
Listening to the voice of cricket discussing the 2011 triumph with one of the sharpest brains. Amazing..
Goosebumps
Aswin bhai ..ur the main player of Indian cricket team in 2023... because Australia, England, newzealand, South Africa.. match in ur hand .. please jaan laga dena...jeetne ke liye.. best of luck
This is just a wonderful conversation between two people who understand the game of cricket. Brilliant.
Glad you mentioned gautam gambhir the unsung hero of Indian cricket 🏏🇮🇳🫶♥️
Honestly before Asia cup I was slightly sceptical about INDIA's chances but a month later m super confident about us winning especially with ur inclusion our side is extremely balanced
not to forget, Zak's impeccable 5 over spell at the start of that world cup final. something like 1 or 2 runs in 5 overs. Not many remember about it, but it was key to ensuring India chases a much lesser score at the end.
A beautiful beautiful discussion! One of the best I've watched.
Ash, you have such a great disposition. You are so talented! You should be proud!
This was rightfully the best episode of the series! 🎉❤
We should celebrate each and every player for their contributions ❤.
Teared up listening to this episode. Great conversation touching upon the nuances and acknowledging everyone who contributed incl Munaf who has been forgotten since.
Where's Munaf mentioned?
Thank you so much Ash, for talking about Gautam Gambhir
I was a kid during 2011WC. I know cricket, used play and used to hear a lot about matches from friends but I didn't know what it means to lift the cup or I knew nothing about pressure or what's at stake. So during the finals, I was on my way home from school and some cricket fans arranged live telecast through a projector and GG was batting in a pressure conditions. I stood there on road leaving my bag and cycle, I can't forget what I experienced. GG's batting reminded me the quote never give up. Oh God! Hadn't I watched that match, maybe I wouldn't have become a cricket fan and I'm glad I watched it.
That ravi shastris commentary at the end was an icing on the cake ..
Even when yuvraj hit six sixes ..
When Sreesanth took the final catch in 2007... it was his commentary in the background like a bgm to top it all ..
Excited for 2023 ..hope all we Indians have a memorable world cup
