[00:00:00]You see it in the West Indies. You see my friend like Chris Gayle and all of you know they were all they weren't getting paid anything. You know there were the time in 2011 I remember very clearly.

[00:00:09]I had just left the IPL come back to London.

[00:00:12]And my good friend Chris Gayle wasn't picked up at the auction.

[00:00:17]And I get a call from him.

[00:00:20]He said nobody picked me up at the auction.

[00:00:23]I said you didn't perform. IPL is all about performing. You played for the Kolkata Knight Riders. My feeling is you didn't perform. People won't perform and then you can perform. You just got lazy about it.

[00:00:33]He said I really wanted you know I have a huge debt coming and my and thing I have I need to make my bills pay.

[00:00:40]I made a few calls.

[00:00:42]Call one, two, three.

[00:00:44]Everybody said no.

[00:00:46]I went across the road to Vijay Mallya's house. I said Vijay give this bloke a try.

[00:00:52]He said you know I think Nathan's been injured or something. Nathan was injured. He said I have an opening.

[00:00:57]But Lalit I'll pay him if he performs.

[00:00:59]I told Chris go there perform. He set world records.

[00:01:04]He wrote his own checkbook. He wrote his own life. He never looked back after that. He got a multi-million dollar contract. He went and performed. And it was the hunger in him that made him do it.
