Not only it can be an entry point for new fans but it is also an everlasting feature for many fans - be it a team sport or an individual sport. Host Saqib is joined by podcast regular Aftab Khanna and first time guest Kandarp Mehta.

India Pakistan rivalry is a benchmark of this discussion as its part of trio's formative cricket experience as fans.
