This episode we talk about what happens when you go from the person everyone wants a piece of, to a voluntary twelfth man in county cricket told by the man who loved it. Abhinav Mukund’s career started the way legends do, and since then, it’s been a bizarre journey, from batting with Rahul Dravid in a test to 30 pounds a day to run drinks at Leicestershire. We chat about his career, mental health, suicide, speaking out, and finding happiness when life goes in another direction.
