As T20 cricket returns with the CPL on August 18, Aaditya is joined by Karthikeya and Karthik to bring you a comprehensive preview of each team ahead of the tournament. How have Guyana got that middle order? How have Barbados managed to build that spin attack? HOW does someone miss a chartered plane? You have answers to these questions and more...

Aaditya is joined by Johns, Prashanth, and two debutants in Harisankar and Anirudh Srinivaas. They go down memory lane on the night that MS Dhoni announced his retirement from international cricket. His trusted lieutenant, who went with him everywhere he went, Suresh Raina, gets a special tribute as well. The panel also gives their favourite MS Dhoni moments in an India shirt, while also laying bare just what the legend of MS Dhoni meant to them.

Sanket is joined by Rahul, Johns and debutant Kashish Chadha. Rahul revels in the relief of England not losing the first Test of a home series for the first time in a while. Johns expresses his worries about the fragility of the Pakistani batting line-up. Kashish also ponders whether Yasir Shah is actually a problem for Pakistan, especially on overseas tours. 

Aaditya is joined by Rahul, Prashanth, and Karthik to talk about Ireland's fabulous win in the 3rd ODI against England. Karthik talks about how Irish cricket must use this win as a launchpad, and kick on to post a few wins in ICC ODI Super League, while also lauding some brave decisions they took in the series. Rahul feels Moeen Ali's time in the ODI side might be done, while also not being impressed by England's death bowling. Prashanth lauds Eoin Morgan and England's decision to stick with Tom Banton for the duration of the series. The podcast concludes with a bunch of non-PhD holders discussing the Women's BBL. 

Sanket is joined in this episode by Rahul, and two first-time guests in Abhyudaya Tyagi and Johns Benny (@CricCrazyJohns). Following a short review of Ireland's ODI series against England, the focus on this episode shifts to Pakistan's upcoming three-match Test series against England. Do Pakistan have a chance against Ben Stokes? What team should they play? Can Babar Azam match what Virat Kohli and Steve Smith did in their respective tours to England? And, of course, in England's last home series for the current World Test Championship cycle, can they get the whitewash they desperately need, to stay in the hunt? Stick around till the end as each of our guests put on their predictors' hat as well! 

Hosts Aaditya Narayan and Sanket Singbal are joined by Karthikeya Manchala, Rahul Vishwanathan and Karthik Raj in this episode as they review England's Test series win over the West Indies, and look ahead to post-COVID white-ball cricket, as Ireland play England. Karthikeya looks ahead to West Indies' Test future, with a few important changes to be made. Rahul dissects the second-string attack chosen by England for the ODI series against Ireland. And, we have the nerd of associate cricket, Karthik, giving us his views on whether Ireland can compete at all, even against a second-string England side. 

In this episode, host Aaditya Narayan is joined by Karthikeya Manchala, Prashanth Satish and Rahul Vishwanathan, as they look back on the second Test between England and the West Indies. Karthikeya dissects the problems surrounding the West Indies top order, while Rahul and Prashanth give their take on what England need to do when the third Test begins on Friday.
