This was a really engaging conversation with Jayesh from jayonreel, where we went beyond just match reactions and into how we actually see and understand cricket today. From early IPL 2026 takeaways to conversations around leadership and player roles, we explored what’s really shaping the game right now.

We spoke about SRH’s bowling concerns, Ishan Kishan’s potential as a leader, and how Shubman Gill is growing into captaincy — along with how these narratives are perceived by fans and more. The conversation also moved into the bigger picture, touching on storytelling in cricket content, how audiences engage with the game, and where formats like Test cricket stand today.

If you enjoy cricket conversations that go a little deeper than just the scorecard, this one’s for you.
