Don't drop catches: SRK

Share This Post

We try... we run... we jump... we fail... we attack... we fall... we rise... we hope... we wish... we go high... we go fast... we go slow... we go low... sports is such a great leveller. You just can’t wish away your losses.

I always believe something good lies within every bad moment... only as yet I can’t see the good, except that these defeats have bonded the whole KKR family closer. Have heard all the criticism about the team with sadness... the bad management... selling the business...
removing players... none of which are true.

As much as the kids are criticised, I guess a parent can’t dislike them. So I stand here... a bit alone... feeling responsible to all the sponsors for having let them down. I also stand with a huge resolve to set this straight as soon as possible. I also stand by my team feeling for them because I have seen them completely helpless at things going so wrong... only I don’t feel it as strongly as they all feel losing on the field... day after day. I love them even more now than I did before. We accept our defeats... but accepting defeats does not mean we have lost... it means we accept the truth that we haven’t done our best... or our best is not good enough... it means we have something to look forward to... there is a whole area of this sport that we can conquer if we improve. There is no greater feeling than the fact that we can do better at something.

There is something to look forward to... there is a positive desire when we wake up in the morning. I love to win... but you can only love winning if you hate losing enough. I guess KKR has now reached the stage where we are hating to lose... we are disgusted with losses... and the only way to change is to go out and win. I also believe that all the criticism about us is coming true. It’s right for people to not like our team... it’s also in our hands to change that. We very seldom get the chance to write our own destinies. The way of Allah is that He takes you down so much for you to realise that within all the losses lies the opportunity to correct them. That is the positive in losing so much. From the bottom the only way out is to look upwards. We can either blame everything else and lie there or blame ourselves and rectify our mistakes... our follies. At the bottom we lose our faith in God... it is made so... because God wants us to lose faith in Him and have faith in yourself. Unless you believe in yourself you can’t even believe in God... because we are His most loved creation. So the way forward is to believe in ourselves... believe in the good we can do for ourselves... believe in getting ourselves out of this rut. Just believe. I believe therefore I am. I believe therefore we will be... I believe therefore God will be with us... I believe therefore we will be back. Korbo, lorbo, jeetbo. PS: ... and stop dropping the catches... that will help!!

It is only CRICKET, yaar. Let's put this in perspective, why don't we? You have been given the power by God to bring enormous influence to bear on the world stage. You have been given the power by God to bridge a path of peace between Moslems and Hindus, Moslems and the Western world. This cricket fixation is merely a distraction.

Now stop smoking and get back to work!
