Description
Samir Chopra is an academic who has been writing about cricket for over a decade. He is the author of books "Brave New Pitch" and "Eye on the Pitch". He has been a prolific blogger for EspnCricinfo. In this episode Samir puts his fan hat back and travels back to his first memory of the India Pakistan cricket battles in 1978. The conversation visits the first live telecast of the rivalry to key performers like Imran Khan, Sunil Gavaskar, Mohinder Amarnath, Javed Miandad and Kapil Dev among others. Samir shares lots of observations on how these men and their teams shaped the landscape of the future battles and what it meant to be a fan who consumed these encounters. Bishen Bedi's captaincy, impact of the Sharjah six and end of the spin quartet are also discussed. A must listen for any India Pakistan cricket fan.
