Bits and Pieces : The friendliest cricket podcast

Ep 88: Sharda Ugra shreds the BCCI ogre

12 Sep 2023

Description

The conscience keeper of Indian cricket joins the gang on Episode 88 of Bits and Pieces, for a wide-ranging chat on the heavy-handedness of the BCCI and what that means for Indian cricket in particular, and world cricket at large. Nitin, Prashant and Vipul dive deep into Sharda's recent BCCI magnum opus on the Caravan, the ticketing and organisational fiasco around the World Cup, India's curious relationship with Pakistan cricket, the IPL, the tamatar that binds the Indian cricket curry and much much more. Along the way, a peek into Sharda's amazing writing process, her amazing sense of humour, and a couple of killer anecdotes involving personalities as varied as Abhinav Bindra and Arun Dhumal.
