The Spirit of Cricket - India
Вставка
- Опубліковано 23 сер 2020
- In January 2020 I travelled through India, visiting the ovals and maidans of Mumbai and the backstreets of Kolkata, enjoying local roadside matches on the way. I discovered a game out in the desert, met a team of cricketing Monks, played cricket with kids by a river and was clean bowled on the beach at Juhu! I met Sachin and Dravid and the blind and physically challenged cricketers who totally inspired me. Along catching up with the youngest and oldest cricketers, and the first girl's Cricket Academy.....and much more! I have chosen 220 photographs from the thousands I captured with my trusty Canon camera. I proudly share and celebrate this collection in a Limited Edition, 324 page large format book. It is a limited edition, and you can at my site- stevewaugh.com.au
In future when Indians land on Mars first thing we will do is make a pitch and start playing cricket 👍
the red turf of Mars will be ideal for a cricket pitch
😅🧐 yes
You know nothing about Indian cricket! You don't need to "make" a pitch! Everything is a pitch! Didn't you see the kid's cover drive on his bed at 2:22?
Definitely yes😂😂

Every teenager in india is a millionaire if he owns a cricket bat. Cheers....
Bhai wo toh gully Main
Nah I love Kabaddi
Right right😆😆🙏

@@pawaratharva6371 I watch cricket but I love to play Kabaddi
When he toured India, he always tried to educate the squad on the need to absorb the unique culture of India at a grassroots level....
Each day, on the afternoon, there are a millions of cricket match is going on in the millions of places in India, and millions of player take part in them, then they all are just friends, no religion, no cast no creed just love.
Bhai kya hi baat keh di 😭😊👌
I used to play in my Colony , school and college on ground atleast 10 to 15 team's play in same ground we enjoy cricket in school days only thing grooming and start career as early possible than you get players like sachin
How Sir Steve Waugh describe Indian cricket under 6 minutes, even Indian sports journalists can't do this 🙏🙏🙏
Ravi Shastri can do it
Well said bro
Try Harsha 👍
Hmm 130crores population , can get maximum no of subscribers from India 🤣
@@srinivasvanka2849 ye baat jyada sahi kahi aapne 🙏🙏
That kid ..that bite...
It was probably every bit of revenge of all Aussie sledges.
😂😂😆😆
We need to send that boy to Australia asap!! 😂😂 Maybe he can bite Smith.
Ha ha
😂😂😂
Hahaha
I'm a big fan of you Steve. We Indians admire your love for India. Once a legend, always a legend...!
“They call it disabled cricket, thats the wrong name. They are enabled in every way”- Respect Waugh saab! One of the very few aussie cricketers with a great heart ❤️ .
3:15
@Feary Flamingo i said aussie cricketers, sir! Nothing against aussies for sure! Just elevating the greatness of waugh saab! Apologies if it meant disrespectful 🙌
@@nftmaster6739 Even the cricketers are nice blokes off the field, the aggression you see is only reflected as a part of the game.
You need to understand that they are more competitive and have hunger for winning. That's pure professionalism. They are shrewd, sledge and play mind games which is part of any game, you can see this in any sport, doing good for their team and not entitled to play the way opposition wants. What you are saying it all started from Steve Waugh era itself.
My ma'am told us that they are not disabled people they are differently abled people
This documentary deserves more views, It touches every indians heart !
😭of course maybe many don't know that Steve sir have got a channel like this 😭😭👍🙏
Well he is getting now
True bro india
Isn't for me
Yes 🥰
Thanks for not putting usual tabla and sitar background score.
Great editing.
This is a good documentary.
Sending bests from Israel.
Why do you feel shame on indian traditional classical music
@@ssjn2831 may be not ashamed...it is getting quite stereotypical that the Indian music is all about tabla and sitar...when u see any foreign documentary of India they will often use the same kind of music...previously it used to be a 80s 90s bollywood song...now this...so it is not bad if it changes.
Such a relief
Sir, I am always a big fan of yours, you remain the Best Captain of Australia 🇦🇺 of the Golden Period of Australia Cricket. ❤
An Aussie describing and capturing India better than an Indian!
So true bro.
But Indians are so filled with hate for their own from within, Indians can never descrinbe India.
Only an outsider can have the purity to appreciate such lil things in India.
Bz a diamond can not value its own value and its need a valuer too
@@shashvatgupta3928 right bro we are always talking shit ...besides making someone better
He left the cricket field with tears in his eyes on his retirement day and that showed how passionate he is for cricket and this effort proves his passion for the game furthermore...😊
He donated and adopted a charity orphanage in Kolkata and Prince of Kolkata Sourav Ganguly did nothing. Shame
@@ronydey8826 lagta hai tumhare andar grey champlle wali atma aa gai hai.
Shame on your view
@@abhishekkumarpandey1842well, shouldn't you be happy that someone's helping poor orphans ?
Steve Waugh is the perfect gentleman of the game who played the sport with much passion and admiration.A true salute to this wonderful human being!!! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏.
I have so much respect for Indian cricket. They take this great game to another level.
As a Pom hated him when we played against them but what a fantastic human being he is off the pitch!
Salty ?
@@nate2228 How's that salty? 😂
He deserves appreciation and acknowledgment from Indian government. Steve Waugh has some special connection with India.
Nice Joke
@@prathamnishad1033 lol
Showing the slums? Carrying the stereotype that India is full of slums? Poor mindsets.
@@prathamnishad1033 I think your whole life is a joke 🖕🖕
@@urmumhuge5556it’s not stereotype, it’s fact. First clean up the slums and then talk.
Sir Steve Waugh, one of the greatest batsman ever n legend!!! I’ve grew up watching Azhar, Sachin, Saurav n Steve Waugh for his cool temperament and praying to God when his partnership with his brother Mark Waugh starts to build, lol!!
Highly disciplined and much respected cricketer, long live Sir Steve Waugh!!!
i miss my childhood. used to play cricket all day. i remember that 2011 wc night. the whole nation was celebrating. i was 12 y/o at that time. no phones no social med no tension. only thing we knew was to play cricket.
I am 21 years old that time but same here brother... Just beautiful nostalgia...
I was 14 at 10th standard love those era, we all miss that simple and humble life
Every single person in India has played cricket in their life. Whether with family, children's, neighbours at least once.
We just need ball to play, rest of the things we arrange ourselves
That is very true.. even made balls with old soacks and clothes
It helped us decide who's the real boss , winning 5 or 10 rupees was precious.
I used to make ball also with old sox and waste clothes.
I am Indian but Never knew about disabled cricket. Its an Art. Also First women cricket academy in the world in India that too in HIMALAYAS!!!! Love it
At 3:30 i noticed that bro , looks likes its in himachal 🙄
What, we won world cup in disabled cricket.🙏🇮🇳
It is dharamshala stadium i guess
He loves India and I love him for that. Thanks Steve! In my childhood also there was talks among us that you like India. Good to see you coming here and visiting/talking to all these people. Love your charity work as well mate! Thanks from India.
4:42 Dhoni Dhoni Dhoni. Everyone's fav❤️
Thought of buying the book,
Opened the website,
Converted AUD into INR,
Closed the website.
Rs 15000
For that price,I can watch every match in India for a year.
😂
same here
Hahaha
He should be commentator in every cricket match
Voice is very sweet..
Damn..this will be gold.with his knowledge it will be fantastic..
He is one of the cricketer who have retired hard....he doesn't even comment on recent events in cricket....but yes his commentary in bordar Gavaskar with Ganguly would be interesting
Anyone here after India's historic win at Gabba.
Cricket is more than just a sport in India. It's a feeling that binds every Indian together and make them rally behind the team.
This relentless support sometimes gets the best out of our team.
Steve Waugh knows India is a huge business market for Cricket!
He can't deny that fact!
By the a fan of Steve over here loved him as a captain of the mighty Aussie team probably the best overall team ever!
I can't control my laugh when little boy❤️ bites cameraman.🤣🤣🤣
Same with me 😂😂😂
That boy is just like how I used to be in my childhood, probably most of us 🥴
and the laugh 🤣
Era of Steve Waugh teammates was the best best best Australian team with such a wonderful team mates that world loved.
I am big fan of great Australian team of 90's having equal love for my country's (India)team in my heart.
Cricket is not only a game in india it's emotion feeling , passion & heartbeat..
Brought tears to my eyes watching passion and love for the game anywhere and everywhere. Looks like it humbled an accomplished guy like Steve Waugh. Well done mate
Brings tears in my eyes 😭 the passion

Dear sir Steve,
Honestly I am a big fan of yours. For most of the 90s kids you are the hero.
Yes i am big fan sar
Open letter to Mr. Waugh To respected Steve waugh . Hope you are having a great time in life. I am a Indian and as all Indian i love cricket and we love aussi crickters a lot. I know you do charity and yes there are a lot of people who r below the povery in my country and we r in the middle of fixing it . I realyhave a problem with your clips. you only show povery , and indians living in so called your land (which I mean forcefully taken from abrognies and converted a british land) Dont make make them fell bad all the time . you might have seen the rasist slurrs on chanel 7 news if you havent please check it about India (cricket postings on fb of chanel 7) . Your these videos give your Aussi (in realtiy british ) people a chance to think look they r poor . which is not 100% of the story yes there are poor but there are lots and lots of middle class way more than your country's total population and with all the povery we still aim to go to moon . We have indians running companies like google. If you really wanna help poor i dare you to help your native people whom your forefathers have distroyed . Thus make a documentry how British distroyed Abrognies . I hope you accept this challange
It was a great documentary of the Emotions of Indians.... The best part which is captured by this documentary is that despite of scarcity of resources we give it all for the game.❤️
Sir, loads of love and respect to you from the bottom of my heart. As a cricketer you were a legend and as a human being you have a heart of gold. May God give you many more years to do such lovely work. The spirit of cricket couldn't have been captured any better.
I am such disappointed that a legend put so much his effort to show the real sorit of cricket and look at the viwes and like its such sad thing as cricket lover
If he add videos regularly then definitely get views
Seeti maar ke
It's not always about the views.
Every Indian cricket fan will surely click on it... but they should be able to see the thumbnail some way..
What do you expect ?
people will leave dinchak pooja for this?
Na...
The cinematography really deserves no less than Oscar. Captured so beautifully. Never resonated so well with the beauty of cricket in the streets of India
3:55 when i cleared exam in 7th attempt 😎
😂😂😂😂🙏
Cricket is not a sports, its a nostalgia, its an emotion, it is something that make us mad, loose our sense and when the emotion settle down, we relish the enthralling journey that it has taken us.
The voice of Steve Waugh, a little glimpse of Sachin makes me feel all those moments, that I have in my memories..
5:19
Everyone is equal on field
* enter the guy with bat in gully cricket *
😂🔥
100% accurate fact
Classic Steve Waugh.
Even his content creation is as elegant as his batting.
This is the most touching cricket documentary under 6 mins. Wonderfully explained, Mr. Waugh. 🙏
One of the greatest exponents of the game of Cricket - Steve Waugh. Thanks for making us see cricket from an entirely new perspective.
Have u ever see any of the Indian cricketing legend do so in India, even in their home town ? That's the problem in India, people from any field when get succeed never look back their root. Huge respect for Sir Steve Waugh.
Dude these things are not new for us coz we grew up playing like this. You me hell even Kohli and Sachin and Dhoni. They the Australian or any other country men didn't play or had these dedication for the game hence they all are attracted here.
No need to criticize everywhere.
Just appreciate what you are experiencing.
I think your comment is the problem that Indians have. Learn to appreciate your country and go deeper into your thoughts as to the cause of them. The other two comments said it well.
It's the Indian culture as such....same if Sachin,or ganguly or dravid or dhoni goes out with camera think abt crowd control , security ....can't manageable....but what ever u said,succeeded people are not looking back to their roots in India ..that part is true...
@@sohamprajapati746 ohh, without dedication they had 5 world cup. Here the system is so corrupt, just see who r the selectors, who is the secretary of BCCI.
Cricket is not just a game in India Its an emotion!
Why is that?
@@chadjcrase sorry but you can't understand you are not Indian!!
@@chadjcrase because it's a kind of a religion in India
I found new things here.....like every age every person is playing includes thos without eyes...handicap.. Girls too...loved it. Thanx steve..fr showing this face of india.
Wow.. thats so beautiful. Former aussie skipper one of the greats filming the Indian passion of cricket.
the kid biting the camera man was precious and it made me laugh so much
Kids are useless
@@satyaprakashray9909 🤣🤣🤣 why you hate kids
@@rajatpatel9170I don't hate kids I hate those who brings kids to this world (you know who they are) ...... and when I saw any kid I thought how he/she/other will suffer in this cruel world where there is cruel people and cruel diseases which will hunt you each and every second of your pathetic life.
@@satyaprakashray9909 what about your parents?
@@sagarpandey3159 ya same thought for every parents....
Steve Waugh - Best Captain of Australia 💯
Steve Waugh - probably the toughest cricketer in the World, but also the most easy-going off-field.
Steve u made us so emotional with your down to earth, subtle and friendly nature.
U won our hearts mostly in Bengal.
Wish you gr8 luck with all u do.
Lots love and prayers... ❤🙌🏻👍🏻
I dont know why tears came to my eyes while watching this video. May be the beauty of this video is the reason.
U from
Tnx a lot a true Aussie legend former captain & kind hearted Mr. Steve Waugh.
Love from India.❤❤❤
Sir Steve Waugh(former Australian cricketer in the '80s and '90s) depicts the real cricket and it's culture in India on his visit. Deep love and respect from Bangladesh. 🌹❤🙂
I can see the effort put by Mr. Steve Waugh while making this video. From North to south, east to west, street to academy. It covers almost each part of India.
Yes, Cricket is Religion in India
And Sachin is God of cricket 🙏
The most beautiful stadium in the world is "DHARAMSHALA " 😍😍
Yes, this and that one in NZ. Is it Napier?
@@nikhilreddy8550 The one in NZ you are referring to is in Queenstown, Otago
@@saikrishnan7 aah yeah . That's the one.
I'm feeling speechless!
A big salute to you man!
Thank you Steve for showing us the spirit of cricket developing in India.
If Indians have Bat and Bowl they can play cricket anywhere. on the ->
Street, field, garden, Terrace, lakeside, riverside, pond-side, beach, dessert, mountains .... I mean anywhere.
Steve - Great human being
In India, Cricket is our heart, our religion. We forget our daily sadness when we enter into the cricket ground.This is the love and this is the passion which you have shown in this video. Love you Steve Sir♥️♥️♥️
Brings a smile to your face seeing this documentary. So intricately filmed and documented. Captures the pulse of the nation.
This is so beautiful to watch ❤️❤️
The only thing that can make a guy wake up at 6o'clock in the morning happily is cricket...That's the love for this game in India
Why this video has not got much views or likes you had putted so much effort and theoutcome is awesome hopefully in time video will be seen by millions
nice video sir 🙂
Are bhava tu itha pn
Stop being everywhere! You aren't Jesus.
Yaha bhi vaiiii😅😅😅
Goosebumps!! I remember we used to play cricket in childhood by a ball made out of a used sock and cotton waste as my father was a tailor. We were so creative with it that we used to make seam of the ball with cuff of the sock.
My father interestingly never saw a cricket ball until college. In the villages where he was from (Telangana), they didn’t have those around. But they had Gilli-danda, which is where you use a thin stick and a piece of wood and try to rise it and hit it far.
It's a pleasure to see the Australian legend Steve Waugh watching and capturing cricket in India so closely, And of course overwhelmed to see Sachin Steve meeting, love from INDIA 🇮🇳🇦🇺
One of the most gentleman cricketer steve waugh is always at every indian' s heart.
I feel that this video is so underrated.....its a fabulous video, describing the devotion of Indians towards cricket.
I always wanted to play cricket in international level.. but life took me in different way. Yet a lot of things that I picked up from playing cricket comes handy to my work. Such as team work , accept your defeat with smile, never give easily, celebrate your win , learn from mistake and so many. Much respect for cricket and cricketers.
Nice Documentary Steve ❤️
Cricket not a just a game in india it's an imotion.... Religion🙏🙏 i proud 💪to i am an Indian🇮🇳🇮🇳
I accidentally watched this video but feeling privileged after watching this video.What a person SteveWaugh is,He is true legend and great ambassador for the game of cricket. Take a bow Sir!.
*What a Video! Just what a video!* Pure class! This should be seen by Billions! Love, Mutual Respect and World Peace from Calcutta, West Bengal, India.
Wow what a short video to encapsulate the Indian love for cricket 🏏🏏!!
Respect to the legend for covering the land of legends!!❤️
INDIA is famous for there diversity..,
And cricket is like one chain which connect this ❤❤
Every time I have a tough day at work or generally in my life - I think my hero - Steve Waugh and what he did for his team. I fight back, I become better when the going gets tough. Thanks Steve!!
See the legend Steve Waugh simplicity..I admire him ..so simple and clean representation of spirit of cricket ...salute steve Waugh sir ..u r amazing in most simplicity down to earth avatar ...
Steve You captured Indian cricket like no Indian vlogger or show ever did.....This is probably the best representation Indian Cricket roots have ever got.
This is a sales pitch to the book, but what a wonderful sales pitch! Great to see the effort that went into creating the book and the video. Steve Waugh, the best in whatever he does?!
great job legend....u really worked hard..on this video..u nearly went to 30 40 different places all over india...and u did captured the spirit of cricket here....RESPECT
Best Ever Aussie cricketer with a great heart, Waugh. We all love you and respect you
I always remember my childhood days, woke up early at 05:00 AM, went to Gandhi Maidan in Gaya(my hometown) and capturing the best pitch(we have the rule, who comes early have the best pitch in Maidan) and playing Cricket till 06:00 PM. Practicing whole day, just Cricket. That's the craze of Cricket we have! For us(Indian), Cricket is everything!
He is such a a true legend,and moreover I love to see his batting during my childhood.
Wish Steve had been an Indian .The Best cricketer time has ever produced
Love ❤️ from India 🇮🇳 to @Steve Waugh
When one of the best player becomes a spectator of Indian grassroot level cricket, his observation is surely going to tell us about unique aspect of the game.. Cricket in himalayas.. Cricket in desert.. Cricket by enableds and cricket by prodigies.. No wonder, the game is one of the most unifying factor of the diverse nation.. Wow, what a holistic documentation. Thanks.
So brutal on the field but so soft heart off the field.. Once a legend always legend🙏🙏🇮🇳🇮🇳
I did not have any expectations going into this video, however, I was pleasantly surprised by it. The video is beautiful and steve's narration in the background is very soothing.
I saw him playing. He is a great batsman. He draw the deciding test match between India vs Australia.
Same here.
The bat that's all I wanted to be happy when I was young. Playing under the hot 🌞 during summer holidays is the best part of my childhood.
What a great line...
" Cricket is a religion in Bharat "
👍👍🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳
watching Steve Waugh is in itself an education in cricket.
huh...
How?
This shows how diverse we are and still unite, Proud
Old democracy like USA need to learn a lot from us
We get excited for every small things that’s the problem with us. We have a lot of problems internally apart from this. So, control your anxiety
@@captainindia3260 hahaha you didn’t understand my comment. Where did I criticize US. Control your anxiety and read the comment clearly. That’s the problem with us. Getting anxious for every small thing. That’s destroying our country growth. So, calm down and take your time
Dare I say the British idea of sports to unite people? It's being played out today. America can still learn from the UK.
WE are DIVERSE that's true but are WE really united? Really? TBH not post 2014!
The purity of this has my tears rolling down. The pollution in the game as we know it today had left me heartbroken
One of the sweetest video made for Cricket on Cricket............''We truly love our game''
@2:40 we have our SUAREZ

3:12 This was Amazing ! Shows the grit and determination
Beautiful ❤! No one better to cover this than The Greatest Of All Aussie Captains! ❤️🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼from India! We miss you! 🙏🏼❤️
Thanks, Steve for bringing out various aspects of cricket played in India, it also took me back to days of me playing with my friends with cork ball without pads and gloves; wicket keeper using his footwear as gloves. We may be competing each other as countries but we all are one as cricket playing family. I enjoyed yours and your brother Mark's batting as much as enjoying Sachin's batting. Good old days! Thanks, Steve Waugh, this name is still brings the euphoria.👍🙏
