In a this episode of Cyrus Says, Anjum Chopra—former Indian cricketer, Arjuna Awardee, and pioneering sportscaster—unpacks her storied career and groundbreaking contributions to cricket.

She recounts pivotal moments like her debut (28:10), career highs like her 98 in Tests vs England (35:35), and insights on WPL vs IPL dynamics (44:00). Chopra also shares wisdom for emerging players (49:40) and lighter tales from her marathon runs and documentary "Shooting Stars" (54:33).
