WIT Talks | Episode 17 | കണ്ടം ക്രിക്കറ്റ് സ്റ്റോറീസ്, Cricket in Malayalis' Life

Step onto the pitch with the WIT squad - John Joe, Mahadevan A R, Deepak Mohan, and Aneez M Latheef - as they swing back in time to their gully cricket days in Episode 17 of WIT Talks. It's a full innings of laughter, memories, and the occasional googly that life throws at you. In this episode, our comics recount the epic quest for the perfect cricket ground, which often ended up being anywhere from a bustling street to a serene paddy field. They'll share their 'sticky wicket' moments playing with a tennis ball that's seen more tape than a gift-wrapping station and a stitch ball that's stitched more memories than runs. Highlights include discussions on: - The Sachin Tendulkar era, where every straight drive was a drive straight to the heart. - The still ongoing Mahendra Singh Dhoni era, where 'finishing' a match became synonymous with 'finishing' your homework - it's just not done until Dhoni says so. - The Indian Premier League (IPL) frenzy, where loyalties change faster than a chameleon on a rainbow. - Betting on matches with stakes as high as the last piece of chicken at a family dinner. - Reliving the glory of playing cricket with school friends, where the only strategy was 'hit or get hit by the ball'. Watch as our comics navigate through the grassy outfield of nostalgia, dodging cow patties and leaping over irrigation channels, all while swinging their bats and dodging their responsibilities. So, grab your snacks, find a comfy spot, and get ready to be bowled over by WIT Talks Episode 17. It's not just a comedy show; it's a celebration of the sport that unites us all, one silly point at a time.
