In our latest episode of the podcast we talk to Abhinav Mukund, who has played seven Tests for India and recently became only the second batsman from Tamil Nadu to cross 10,000 first-class runs.
Abhinav has not shied away from expressing his views on matters as important as mental health and colourism. In a wide-ranging chat, he opens up about matters both cricketing and non-cricketing and reveals a maturity that belies his years.
Talking points:

Formative experiences around cricket
The teenage prodigy Abhinav
A triple-hundred at the age of 18
The India call-up
Tours to West Indies and England
The dejection of being dropped
Coming out of a funk
The brief return to the national side
Making peace with oneself
The issue of mental health in cricket
Why he came out strongly against colourism
The dream of winning a Ranji Trophy for Tamil Nadu
And much more...
