Hi there! Welcome to Episode 188 of Never on the Backfoot Podcast. As the Australian women’s cricket team celebrated yet another global title, their Indian counterparts would be facing a nagging “what if”. They were in control of their semifinal against the Aussies, and with the South Africans reaching the final at England’s expense, the 2023 ICC Women’s T20 World Cup would feel like one that got away from them. This is not the first time a big game has slipped through the fingers of the Indian women’s team after being in a prime position at one stage. On the podcast today to join us for the discussion on the same, we have Rishika Reddy.

Hi there! Welcome to Episode 187 of Never on the Backfoot Podcast. Australia comprehensively beat India in the third test in Indore and in the process managed to qualify for the final of the World Test Championship. The Aussies, led by Steve Smith, outclassed Team India in all departments and registered a dominant victory over India. Victory in Indore has surely boosted the morale of the Australian team. Team India has to be at their absolute best to beat this Australian side in Ahmedabad. It will be interesting to see how India bounces back from this defeat and what kind of strategy they adopt in the final match of the series. The fourth and final test match of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Ahmedabad promises to be a cracker. On the podcast today to join us for the discussion on the same, we have Suraj Subramanian.

Hi there! Welcome to Episode 186 of Never on the Backfoot Podcast. All-rounders galore would be an apt summary of MI's squad. The nucleus of this team, like many others, would be the experienced internationals who are all match-winners in their own right which means Mumbai have an enviable middle order. The likes of Amelia Kerr, Chloe Tryon and Hayley Matthews add to the experience in their ranks. And, as has been the case in the men's competition, Mumbai has invested a good amount on the 'unknowns' as well - all proven performers in the domestic circuit though. Amanjot Kaur, Dhara Gujjar, Saika Ishaque and U19 World Cup-winning star Sonam Yadav stand to gain immensely in this dressing room led by the effervescent Harmanpreet Kaur. On the podcast today to join us for the discussion on the same, we have Kunal Samant who is the host of  Mumbai Indians and Bharat Army’s Live Show.

Hi there! Welcome to Episode 185 of Never on the Backfoot Podcast. Even with the smallest squad size of just 16, the Warriorz give out the impression of a well-balanced squad with back-ups picked for nearly every spot. Deepti Sharma was their costliest purchase at the auction at INR 2.6 crore and even if not chosen to lead, can prove worth every penny as a three-dimensional player. On the podcast today to join us for the discussion on the same, we have Aadya.

Hi there! Welcome to Episode 184 of Never on the Backfoot Podcast. Delhi showed research and restraint of a pro, and weren't in a rush to buy or buy big. They in fact had no purchases from the two marquee sets up front. And once the others had consumed a chunk of their purse, Delhi would easily outbid them for a hat-trick of high-quality signings.

Hi there! Welcome to Episode 183 of Never on the Backfoot Podcast. Gujarat Giants were the first ones to recruit a star-studded backroom staff and with Rachael Haynes, Mithali Raj and Nooshin Al Khadeer leading the charge, Gujarat have built a solid squad that boasts of heavy influence from the two traditional giants - Australia for the international flavour, and Railways for the desi tadka. Their pool of 18 has four representatives from each, which gives them batting depth right until No.9 on paper. What stands out, though, is the lack of established Indian names in their core or an experienced leader. On the podcast today to join us for the discussion on the same, we have Ajinkya Bhosale.

Hi there! Welcome to Episode 182 of Never on the Backfoot Podcast.
