No Spin, Straight Bat: Murali Kartik Opens up about Love, Life and Cricket

from India A Story in the Making with Loveena Tandon · host Loveena Tandon

A left-arm spinner with a classical high-arm action, Murali Kartik is the only cricketer to have played both the IPL and the Stanford T20’s inaugural season, and one of the few Indians to carve a successful career in English county cricket with Middlesex, Somerset, and Surrey. He famously spun India to victory against Australia in 2004 with a match-winning seven- wicket haul and has since gone on to reinvent himself as a respected commentator, storyteller, and golfer. But who is the man behind the stats, the spin, and the microphone? In this candid conversation, Murali Kartik opens about his roots, resilience, heartbreaks, reinventions, and life beyond cricket.
