The second T20I offered more than just a result. This breakdown looks at how the match unfolded, what happened when India’s original plan broke early, and why the response mattered as the series continues.

In this episode of Yorker, I’m joined by Arjun from the American Cricket Show for a thoughtful conversation on cricket in the United States — beyond scorecards, rankings, and results.

We discuss how USA cricket is often misunderstood, where real progress is happening behind the scenes, and why identity, belief, and long-term development matter more than short-term wins. Arjun shares insights from covering the game through an American lens, the challenges of growing cricket in a crowded sports market, and what gives him confidence about the future of the sport in the USA.

This episode is for listeners interested in USA cricket, global cricket growth, and conversations that value context over noise.

New Zealand sealed the ODI series in the third match, extending their strong run in India. Let"s revisit the key phases of the game, the performances that shaped the result, and what the series outcome means heading into the upcoming T20s.

The second ODI between India and New Zealand sparked strong reactions, especially around captaincy. This breakdown walks through the match itself — and why leadership calls are so often judged without full context.

India’s ODI series against New Zealand gets off to a dramatic start. With pressure on Shubman Gill and history in the making for Virat Kohli, the first ODI delivers key moments, calm leadership, and a statement performance.

Usman Khawaja’s career was never just about runs.

From debuting in Sydney to saying goodbye in Sydney, this episode traces a journey that was rarely straightforward — marked by patience, persistence, and a quiet refusal to disappear.

In this special episode of Yorker, I look back at Khawaja’s path through Australian cricket:
the early uncertainty, the constant reshuffling, the moments when it felt like his place was never fully secure — and the resilience that kept bringing him back.

But this story goes beyond the scorecard.

Khawaja became more than a reliable top-order batter. He became a voice — speaking openly about identity, belonging, and the different standards he faced as the first Muslim to represent Australia. From confronting racial stereotyping to challenging narratives that followed him for years, he reshaped what representation in Australian cricket could look like.

This is a reflection on a career that didn’t always move in straight lines — but left a lasting imprint on the game.

From Sydney to Sydney.
A legacy beyond the boundary.
