Former Australian captain Steve Waugh has been capturing the landscape of Indian cricket for a documentary named "Capturing Cricket: Steve Waugh in India."
Waugh has heaped praise on Indian skipper Virat Kohli for taking every challenge head-on and ward off the fear of intimidation from opponents. Waugh added that Kohli has refreshed the attitude of Indian cricketers and has instilled the confidence of pulling everything off in young players, and hence fans have treated him as a modern-day hero.
"What they love about Kohli is that it's like the new attitude of India, get stuck in, don't be intimidated. Take everything on and anything is achievable and possible. But he's like the modern-day hero," Waugh was quoted as saying.
On the point of producing the documentary on Indian cricket, Waugh said that the idea was very close to his heart as it involves two essential elements of his passion-- Cricket and Photography. He expressed optimism on fans liking the concept of capturing the emotions of Indian cricket and its fans in his documentary.
"Capturing Cricket is especially very near to my heart as it covers two of my passions i.e. cricket and photography. I am positive that when the fans in India watch the documentary, they will be able to feel the very emotion of the journey."
The documentary which has been written by Mithila Gupta and narrated by Harsha Bhogle also has interviews of all-time greats such as Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid, Adam Gilchrist and former Australian women’s captain Lisa Sthalekar. It is a 60-minute long documentary directed by Nel Minchin and will be broadcasted in India via Discovery+.
