  • Ishant's Bouncer Barrage

    Abhishek and Nitin dissect the ongoing chatter around "Spirit of Cricket" following Australia's remarkable Ashes victory at Lords. The duo then take their time machine to 2014, when an Indian Test team in transition under MS Dhoni achieved one of their most remarkable overseas wins, as Ishant Sharma bombed the English batters with bouncers and the English batters happily obliged!

  • Edgbaston Classics

    As Australia & England produce an Ashes classic for the ages, the duo turn their time machine back to two of the greatest individual performances in cricket history. Relive South Africa's heartbreak at the 1999 World Cup as Shane Warne single-handedly turned the match on its head, and Ian Botham's elevation to the pantheon of legends in the famous Ashes of 1981.

  • When India Ran Into Shoaib

    As India go down against Australia in the WTC final, Abhishek and Nitin sigh wistfully at the missed opportunity and wallow in maudlin nostalgia by going back in time to the 1999 Asian Test Championship game between India and Pakistan. They also spend time drawing parallels between Shubman Gill's contentious dismissal at the Oval and Sachin Tendulkar's freak run out at the Eden Gardens Test.

  • Outstanding Oval Tales

    As the WTC final between India and Australia gets underway at The Oval, Abhishek and Nitin look back at two seminal Indian wins at the storied London venue - the 1971 miracle where Chandra walked on water, and Solkar took flight, and the 2021 classic where Shardul Thakur and Rohit Sharma masterminded a backs-against-the-wall heist.

  • Happy Birthday Ravi Shastri

    Abhishek and Nitin discuss the spectacular finish to the IPL season and Chennai Super Kings' improbable fifth title triumph. If it's a dramatic final and a title win for an MS Dhoni team, Ravi Shastri cannot be far away from the conversation. On May 27, Shastri turned 61 and our podcasters celebrated his birthday with just the Tracer Bullets that the doctor ordered.

  • Akram's Acrobatics

    Following last week's bizarre fiasco that took place in the ICC ODI rankings table where Australia overtook Pakistan to the first place without even playing a match, Abhishek and Nitin turn the clock back to a cold, wintry day at Headingley in 1999. Australia and Pakistan faced off, which culminated in an an all time World Cup classic - from arguably Inzy's funniest dismissal to Akram's fiery toe-crushers, relive it all!

  • No-Ball Nostalgia

    A heartbreak for Sandeep Sharma against Sunrisers Hyderabad becomes an opportunity for Abhishek and Nitin to take their time-machine to an evening in Chennai in 2013, where RCB faced off against CSK.

  • The Colombo Collapse

    Abhishek & Nitin look at a topsy-turvy week in the ongoing IPL, as they bemoan a match-losing innings by Lucknow Supergiants skipper KL 'Strike Rates Are Overrated' Rahul. The duo then take their time machine to a sultry day in Colombo, where South Africa choked - not for the first, nor the last time - against a rampant Ganguly-led Team India!
