then notices his dejected team and umpire signaling for six confirming officially
that Bhuvans team has won.

BHuvan: hum to bas jo MEP me seekhe .. wahi kiye .. jab aapne humka sharat ka
offer diya tab humne decision tree aur expected value calculation kiye..
Probability humare khilaf thi but hum jaanat rahe ki agar sahi tarah se koshiss
karenge to probability bada sakte hai…aapka teesra prastav kaafi bada tha hum
mana nahi kiye aur verbal contract kar liye.. Uske baad ganv walo ko motivate
kiye ..aur iss match ko ek project ki tarah treat kiye …

badiya ballebaaz aur gendbaaz kaha se aaye itni jaldi..
Bhuvan: HR me humne seekha the skill kaise test karte hai .. pehle hume jo jarurat
thi humne wo pata kiya tez gendbaaz, 5-6 badiya gendbaaz, aur 1 firki khatranak
firkin gendbaaz.. phir logo me wahi khasiyat dhoodi aur unko training deke aur
behtar banaya…

BHuvan: Isko ethics aur goverance ka paat padaya ye samjh gaya ki agar ye nai
sudhra to phas sakta hai aur ganv waale isko sazaa de sakte hai…
Russel : Tumko nadaan samjhana humari bhool thi..
Bhuvan: Aapki behan ji ne bhi kaafi madad ki recruitment me.. aapki strategy
samjhne me aur iss khel ko samjhne me… cricket humari competency nai tha
…gilli danda tha .. par unhone ek sahi salahkar ki tarah hume ye khel aur strategy
banana me madad ki… strategy se yaad aaya ki hum ne apni strategy aapki
