1. Introduction

An interview could be a speech communication wherever unit asked and answers area unit
given. In common formulation, the word "interview" refers to a one-on-one conversation
between an interviewer and an interviewee. The enquirer asks inquiries to that the respondent
responds, usually so information may be transferred from interviewee to interviewer.
Sometimes, information can be transferred in both directions. It is a communication, unlike a
speech, which produces a one-way flow of knowledge.

1.1 Project in our syllabus:

As per the new syllabus, Project work has been included as a part of the curriculum. We have
created the selection per the provision of syllabus.

1.2 Objectives:
We will be capable of
(i) Identifying the characters, plots in the story
(ii) Dramatizing the story as a play by writing dialogue and adding elements.

1.3 Guiding Principle:

(i) A narrative may be re-modelled into a drama by adding dramatic components.
(ii) Every portion may be increased by giving correct dialogue to the characters.

1.4 Limitations
(i) The period for the whole project was solely 2 weeks.
(ii)We don’t know much about a full-length drama.

2. Procedures and Input

For the project entitled “An imaginary Interview of an Eminent Person, Virat Kohli” we worked
in groups and sometimes in pairs. We had more than six interventions by our teacher for
making the project effective. The details of our few activities are given below:

First intervention: On the first day, we chose the subject “An Interview of an Eminent Person,
Virat Kohli”. We planned that a pleasant script can be made. Then we went through the main
events of the interview.

Second intervention: On the second day, we divided ourselves into groups and the story was
divided into different parts. Then we started writing dialogues. Our teacher Parijat Sir made
necessary improvisations and modifications.

Third intervention: On the fifth day all of us together developed a draft script as per the
directions received from Parijat Sir.

Fourth intervention: On the six day, we distributed copies of the draft script to each group with
the instruction to go through it. We made certain changes to a number of dialogues and erased
some of them.
Then students were asked to read out their script.

Fifth intervention: On the eighth day, the copy of the final script was given to each student.
Another teacher Sumona Roychoudhary also joined in giving final touches to improve the script
and make necessary enhancements. Finally this was given as our Homework.

Sixth intervention: Finally the Project Report was submitted for evaluation.

Interviewer: Thank you so much for meeting with me today Sir, You had a good run in the test
series and one day series as well against England, any think had you talk about.
Virat Kohli: Thank you, you are certainly welcome, it is amazing to lead the team and you
know how the team has changed altogether. I think it is the hunger of all the cricketers. They
have so much talent.
Interviewer : But why couldn’t we get everything right?
Virat Kohli: For much of the year, we were a team in transition, with not everybody being high
on experience... It’s not that we didn’t win at all, we won in Sri Lanka, beat Australia. But, yes,
we didn’t have the momentum for a period of time. We have to continue it for a long time.
Interviewer: Did you find yourself under too much pressure?
Virat Kohli: Things can change quickly in cricket. One day you’re regarded as being out of form,
two innings later you’re in great form. I felt the pressure of expectations in my performances in
Australia and during the England series, I also put myself under a lot of pressure.
Interviewer: Then?
Virat Kohli: I got out of it on the July-August tour of Sri Lanka, told myself that being stressed
doesn’t help and that the results would come as long as I kept working hard.
Interviewer: So, what did that phase teach you?
Virat Kohli: That nobody can be consistent all through the 12 months, one need to be patient. I
also realised that I had far more responsibility towards the team that people were looking up to
me. I accepted that failures are going to be there and, if a country is used to winning, then
defeats will come as a shock.
Interviewer: Did you feel the pressure more during the T20 Internationals and the ODIs against
Pakistan?
Virat Kohli: You don’t look at a series as being against team X or team Y. Your preparations are
the same, for you’ve always got to give yourself the best chance. If the previous series hasn’t
been good, then you look to get better.
Interviewer: Did you grow both as a cricketer and as a person?
Virat Kohli: Yes. I became more confident, had more faith in my abilities. Responsibility teaches
you things. You become more responsible when you see the opposition being wary of you.
Interviewer: The year also saw Team India getting much stick. Did that hurt you?
Virat Kohli: It’s not a good feeling when there is criticism, but nobody has an issue with
constructive criticism. Yes, as a team, we needed to step up. But I would like to add that the
dressing room remains calm. For Indian cricket, 2022 is the year to move forward.
Interviewer: Are you in the habit of making New Year resolutions?
Virat Kohli: (Laughs) Where’s the time? What if you make resolutions and can’t fulfil them? It’s
not a resolution, but I would be happy to improve on my 2021 performances. Indeed, a 10 per
cent improvement would please me.
Interviewer: Has life changed drastically?
Virat Kohli: It has changed, but I probably didn’t realise it initially. Having said that, life could
well change the other way if I don’t perform. I’d rather it stays this way!
Interviewer: Is there something you’ve learnt from Dhoni, where captaincy goes?
Virat Kohli: I’d love to have MS’ calmness and composure. I’ve never seen him stressed. He’s
been so composed even in the most difficult situations. While remaining an aggressive
cricketer, I’d still like to have his calmness.
Interviewer: What goes into the making of an ideal captain?
Virat Kohli: I doubt if there’s one person who could be called the ideal captain. Everyone has
his ways, but it’s important for a captain to create the right environment, to encourage the
right atmosphere in the dressing room. Nurturing talent is an important part of any captain’s
job, encouraging those with potential.
Interviewer: How best could one describe Virat Kohli?
Virat Kohli: The best way is ‘Someone hungry for runs’, perhaps.

Interviewer: Has coming in at number 3 in ODIs helped you?

Virat Kohli: Yeah, it has. Early on, when I used to play down the order, I used to think I might
not get many opportunities. I always wanted to be the best in every innings I played. I want to
be the best when I go out to play for India. But, obviously, you don’t get to do that when you
are batting at a position where you don’t get many over’s to play.
Interviewer: You are batting at number 4 in Tests, which used to be Tendulkar’s position.
Everybody believes you could well be the one to surpass Sachin’s record, in ODIs at least.
Virat Kohli: He played 200 Test matches. In this day and age, it’s impossible to play 200 Tests.
He started when he was 16; I started playing Tests when I was 22. There is nothing to compare.
This is a person I have idolised. I’ve been lucky to play with him, so I don’t feel the pressure of
those comparisons. I know what he has done to be there. But knowing Sachin, I know where I
stand and I know where he is.
Interviewer: You have shared the dressing room with quite a few greats. Has Sachin’s influence
been the biggest?
Virat Kohli: Sachin’s influence has been absolutely immense. I have had the highest regard for
all those senior cricketers who have done so well for the country but I haven’t idolised any of
them. I have utmost respect for Dravid, Laxman, Sourav Ganguly, Sehwag, Gautam Gambhir.
They have won games, but I haven’t idolised any of them. I have only idolised one person and
that is Sachin Tendulkar. For me, to be able to speak to him, to get to know him, that has had a
major impact on my life.
Interviewer: Thank you so much for your time. It was truly an honour meeting you.
Virat Kohli: Thank you as well it was a pleasure conversing with you.

4. Conclusion

The Project entitled, “An imaginary Interview of an Eminent Person, Virat Kohli, a cricketer cum
Captain of Indian Cricket Team” offered us a great scope to learn in detail about the process of
writing an interview in view of the Indian context and made us learn diverse aspects of
literature. We discovered the art of classroom management and principles of writing an
interview.
