51 min - Rains, Riots and 55 years of despair
In this episode, we travel back in time to the gripping 1969 Test series between India and New Zealand—a rare instance where rain favoured India. We delve into New Zealand’s journey of almost a century as a Test nation before finally achieving a series win in India, and how an unexpected downpour in Hyderabad left them just shy of history in 1969.
Join us as we explore what might have unfolded if that fateful cloudburst hadn’t intervened. How different could the legacies of Indian and New Zealand players have been? And how might this alternate outcome have reshaped the cricketing landscape for both nations? Tune in for a deep dive into one of the great 'what-ifs' in cricket!
