Edges & Sledges The Cricket Podcast

This week we are in conversation with former India cricketer Nilesh Kulkarni. We first talk about the Indian women’s team win over England women in the third ODI and Mithali Raj’s puncture-resistant performances in particular. We take a walk down memory lane - we go back through Nilesh’s cricketing journey from childhood all the way to playing at test level. We discuss the highs of a test wicket off his first ball to the lows of 952-6 three days later to playing in 58 degrees heat at Gwalior and finally to the momentous win over Australia at Chennai in 2001. We also discuss sledging stories, playing under Sachin Tendulkar and Sourav Ganguly and life after cricket, particularly Nilesh’s pioneering work in sports management at the International Institute of Sports Management (IISM). Finally we annouce the winner of the June #BatwithCEAT competition winner. New question for July on the podcast!
