Stumps & Stories Podcast
Podone
The Duke of Dorchester once said, “What is human life but a game of cricket?” We believe that analogy has stood the test of time with cricket lovers all over the globe drawing parallels between their beloved sport and life in general. We also believe that life is a great journey – just like a Test match – there are sessions – each one different from the other. A lull may be followed by a fightback. And yes, if you ever fail, there is always a second innings to bounce back. Introducing Stumps & Stories Podcast, where we (Nishad Pai Vaidya & Team) explore such journeys and bring to you a different side of cricket and cricketers – with great memories, a laugh or two, and some inspiration to top it all.
