Sport
Sport episodes go beyond the highlight reel. Sachin's background as a former international-level cricketer gives him access most podcast hosts can't reach - dressing rooms, paddocks, practice courts, and the conversations that never make it onto broadcast. From professional cricketers, Formula 1 & IndyCar drivers to WTA professionals, this pillar gets people talking about what the sport never shows you.

Conor Daly - The F1 Dream That Cost Him Everything & Why He Regrets Going To Europe | IndyCar Driver
Conor Daly is an American IndyCar driver, the son of former Irish F1 and IndyCar driver Derek Daly, and stepson to IndyCar's president, raised inside a family that lived and breathed motorsport. As a teenager he moved alone to Europe to chase Formula 1, racing GP3 and GP2 against some of the best young drivers in the world like Carlos Sainz and Valterri Bottas, reaching podiums and fighting for championships before one incident and lack of funding brought his European career to an end almost overnight.
Will Bosisto - The Cricketer Everyone Compared to Ricky Ponting, Then Almost Disappeared
Will Bosisto averaged 276 at the 2012 Under-19 World Cup, captaining a side that included future Australian internationals Travis Head, Cameron Bancroft, and Ashton Turner, and was once compared to Ricky Ponting before he'd played a single first-class match. He was later delisted by Western Australia, rebuilt his game at South Australia, and found the mental clarity he'd been missing as a young player. In this episode, Will opens up on the gap between reputation and readiness, the coaching that reshaped how he thinks under pressure, and how he's now making his comeback through franchise cricket across Bangladesh, Nepal, Canada, and Europe.
