Its crazy to know that the principle of NATO - 'Not Attached To Outcomes', which Shree Krishna gave to Arjun during the war of Mahabharata is so well practised by some of the best athletes in the world. The detachment, ego, and the self is so well talked about in Bhagavad Gita.
Another great interview! I love how you dive straight into the conversation with direct questions, but sometimes it feels like the questions are a bit leading. I wonder if leaving more room for the guests to share their perspectives without guiding them in a particular direction could make for even richer insights. Maybe starting with a simple ‘Could you introduce yourself for the viewers?’ could help set a more open tone. Either way, I enjoy the content - keep it up!
Can listen to this guy speak all day. What a character Paddy Upton is. Whenever he gives an interview, you get glued to listening him sharing his wisdom. Truly inspirational
Sagar bhai, thank you very much! As a cricket fan who's long admired Paddy, this conversation was golden! Also, I'm glad to know that he's now working with Gukesh. Your passion for chess always shines through, Sagar bhai, and I always feel that you're genuinely happy and excited, whether commentating or talking to someone. And that is what makes me stick! :)"
Thank you; As a practicing academic (and old somewhat-competitive ex-athlete) that follows a few competitive sports, these are the kind of interviews I look forward to after a hard-days of research work. Absolutely wonderful content, and an interview that gives such nice insights into a player, a coach, and a critical set of universal skills great athletes have simultaneously.
Its high time that the resources are diversified to other sports. Cricket has held the high command for too long and its not even a global sport. Most people dont look beyond cricket, probably not because of the love for the game but because of the grandeur with which the events are held. New sports should be broadcasted, funded and supported, so that they go on to captivate the interest of the people. Only then India will be have a podium place among the best sporting nations of the world. Go Gukesh. Make India proud❤
First of all, the resources we are talking about belong to BCCI and not to the Indian government.... Second, cricket is generating way more money than the initial investment..... And as far as chess is concerned, finance of players and training sessions are not at all an issue (at least in india) and most importantly chess could never be popularized like any other physical sports (football, cricket, tennis etc.) because it requires more intellectual abilities rather than offering any entertainment value to everyone, so broadcasters will never put their money to broadcast World championships matches in mainstream channels like cricket or football....
I’m not sure if my earlier comment was deleted :( would be a pity if it was…anyway, just reiterating here to say that an interview of Gary would also be good. Would be good unbiased journalism. I don’t agree with Gary’s view that Gukesh is not world championship material because he’s 5th in ranking. He was dismissing the entire championship and stating that it’s just another FIDE title. Imo, both Guki and Ding are deserving as they completed all the required qualifications to compete. A champion is one who continues to fight - Magnus withdrew voluntarily so others shouldn’t be penalised or looked down at just because Magnus made a voluntary personal decision. I also wanted to contrast this with Ding - who despite what the whole world is saying, hasn’t withdrawn. For me one who continues to fight despite all odds is qualified to be a champion already.
Garry has said this about the last match and the match between Anand and Gelfand as well. It is clear he has some bias, as Gukesh could beat his record for youngest world champion. No need to give him any attention.
Woww! What an amazing perspective we got to hear on life. Thank you Sagar Shah for all the videos that makes our day wonderful. And All the very best Gukesh 💐
@@suvendu964 chess is also a sport? And cricket is physically tough too. In cricket there's thing called "test cricket". So to the extent I think cricket is more challenging than chess.
@@AbhiiiYadavvvv bro I'm talking about pride for India. If you won chess Olympiad and chess world cup that's more pride for India. Think about over 100 country participated in chess Olympiad and we won gold. While in cricket only 7 or 8 country. And remember mental game is always>>>>> physical game. My whole point is why he is comparing a well, humble and intelligent person gurkesh to a controversial person virat🤷. Anyway your opinion is yours and mine is mine.
I have seen all of gukesh matches and his videos. I hope he does not get nervous and be clinical in doing what he does nomally. I hope he does not think about losing . Instead if he stays positive and brave he will succed with his talent for sure 😂😂😂
Just a humble request - dont compare him to virat ( the man has lost too many finals to even count) - let him be the 1st Gukesh !! ( no hate for Virat)
Hope you understand difference between team game and individual game. In cricket you win as a team and lost as a team. But you can't say this for chess. Even If Virat scores in all finals that doesn't guarantee team to win the match. Both are poles apart sports.
@@none6224yeah, but he didn't perform in many crucial matches. He is a great player though. We want Gukesh to succeed in the finals and not falter. Clutch = Djkovic
@@critical_analysis lol you are calling Virat a failure in big matches while Djokovic himself has lost most GS finals in big3..... He won 24 GS too like Virat who has won every other trophy... So stop your biasness
@@asimmishra2764 You seem not to have a clue regarding the tennis history. Djokovic played the most gs finals amongst the three, so he is bound to lose more. His record amongst the three against the other two is superior. So, it shows he raises his game when the stakes are high and against the best. No sensible sports lover would ever doubt the clutch mentality of Djokovic. Can you really be true in comparing the clutch mentality of Djokovic to Virat? I mean can you be true to yourself after I showed you in how many important matches Virat failed? Try to see sports objectively without biases and fandom, then you can see the reality.
People in comments crying like Virat and Guki play same kind of sports and team india didn't let down Virat's perfomances..... Comparing a team sports with an individual game 😂😂.... Paddy Upton the guy who worked with both virat and guki drawing the similarities but people are getting the burns😂😂
Virat unfortunately didn't do well in ICC champions trophy final nor two test world championship finals. He failed in some very big moments which was sad. Virat is a great player but he too failed in some high stake crunch matches.
@@critical_analysis wrong his 43 runs helped in the 2013 CT final to win the trophy... And WTC final criticism is valid but BCCI is at fault for players not performing well in that because they have to schedule and play the whole IPL and WTC final is secondary for them... Yet he has scored 49 though 😢
@@critical_analysis see every other player has failed in crunch moments.... Smith, ABD, Root, even Sachin too but you can't only judge them by their bad innings.... Virat has so many important runs too
@@asimmishra2764 I don't consider them clutch players, of course they are truly great players and not exactly clutch. ABD for all his talent never won a major international trophy for SA. Sachin too failed in two world cup finals even though just on natural talent and technique I consider Sachin as the finest batsman of his generation. Sachin always had issue in chasing when the stakes were high. In my view, clutch are players like Viv Richards, Ricky Ponting and so on. When it was really required for the team and the stakes are high, they used to perform. You can say the Australian team is a clutch team because somehow when the stakes are high and pressure is immense they perform. Viv Richards never played for the records but for the team and the way he won matches was awesome. Please note, I am not belittling Virat, he is my favourite current Indian player but our media and fans fail to see objectivity. Our media hypes our players to the moon. We won T-20 cup after nearly 15 yrs, even though every year our players are used to playing in IPL. Our team is very good and consistent but our media hypes them like they are better than Australia in these important tournaments.
You doubting virat in pressured situations😂😂 76 in wc 2024 final 117 in wc 2023 semi 54 in final 82 in wc 2016 semi 75 in wc 2014 final He has performed whenver required Also gukesh doesnt underestimate anyone so hes gonna go all in to massacre ding
@@gotofield7108 and not to forget 35 in 2011 and match winning 43 2013 final...... These lockdown kids don't really know Virat's contribution in important matches
@@gotofield7108The innings of 76 in WC final was not of great quality. He failed in ICC champions trophy final, t-20 final, 2 wcc finals. So , some crucial misses. Still, one of the best though. Only clutch player I have seen in top level sport perform at crucial situations is Djkovic. I wish our sportsmen imbibe his clutch mentality. Virat is one of my favorites but he disappointed me in WtC finals which was the pinnacle of test cricket
@@critical_analysis 76 runs innings isn't a great innings shows your knowledge about the sports anyway and only spamming Djokovic's name😂😂..... He has his own failures too so calm down, no athlete is perfect

Why comparing with virat?? Gurkesh single handedly made India proud. Remember Olympiad chess and world championship >>>>>> Any cricket matches
Calm down bangladeshi. You have no idea what you are talking about. Ask your mom who virat is and give back her phone now.
Why not?
Some of the cricket matches shows how mentally Tough that guy is. And chess is all about mental ability.

but gukesh told dhoni is his favourite sportsperson

Great insights from Paddy
Nice CONVERSATION 😊😊
