In this episode, host Chandresh Narayanan sits down with Nikhil Naz, former sports editor of NDTV who is now a noted cricket and sports presenter. Nikhil presents the World Cup show on ESPNcricinfo.
Nikhil has just written a book called Miracle Men, a retelling of India’s 1983 World Cup triumph which he describes as “a dramatic commentary of what happened at that time”. Nikhil explains that he wrote the book as if the events of 1983 are happening currently, to give the reader the sense that the events are taking place in the present.
Chandresh and Nikhil discuss the characters that populate his book, and Nikhil talks about the conversations he had with journalist Rajdeep Sardesai about the latter’s struggles while playing cricket in the UK.
