PCCI Podcast
This is the official pod for all cricket tragics. From the trauma of the 90s to the heights of the Noughties, if you are a cricket fan, this is the pod for you. Also, if you love the niche and the obscure discussions around cricket (color of TV graphics in the 90s, broadcast theme music), this is also the pod for you. This is as much the pod for a Noel David fan as it is for an ABD fan!

MSD's retirement and What-ifs in cricket
We begin this episode talking about M.S.Dhoni's retirement and his legacy. We move on to ways in which his captaincy impacted Indian cricket (good and bad) before talking about the good that came out of Chappel's tenure.
In the second half of the pod, we discuss some hypothetical, alternate versions of some pivotal moments and how they could've shaped the world game. Among those discussed in this episode are
1.) What if Kaif was given more opportunities as a test batsman than Yuvraj?
2.) What if India had survived the group stages in the 07 WC and been knocked out later?
3.) What if Gibbs had`nt dropped that famous catch (non-catch!)?
4.) What if England were knocked out of the 2015 WC in more conventional fashion rather than a defeat to Bangladesh?
5.) What if Azharuddin's India had won the 96 WC?
All this and more on this episode of PCCI!
