Bye-Bye Bazball
The unthinkable has happened: the Bazball era is officially dead. In this monumental episode of The Cricket Podcast, we react to the bombshell news that has shaken English cricket to its core—the sudden sacking of head coach Brendon McCullum and the immediate retirement of captain Ben Stokes. Was the writing always on the wall, or did the ECB pull the trigger too soon? We dissect the spectacular unraveling of England's ultra-aggressive Test match revolution, examining the backstage tensions, the recent string of catastrophic collapses, and the final straw that led to McCullum’s unceremonious exit. We also pay tribute to Ben Stokes, a generational all-rounder who redefined leadership but ultimately walked away as his grand experiment crumbled. Who steps up to inherit this fractured team? Is English Test cricket heading back to the dark ages? Join us as we unpack the dramatic, definitive end of Bazball. Hit play now! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Assessing The Start Of The IPL (not what we expected!)
The script for IPL 2026 has been shredded within the first two weeks, and we're here to pick up the pieces. This episode of The Cricket Podcast tackles a start to the Indian Premier League that no one saw coming—least of all the Chennai Super Kings faithful. With CSK sitting at a shocking 0-3 after losses to RR, PBKS, and RCB, we analyze the structural issues plaguing the legends and whether their season is already on life support. Contrast that with the Rajasthan Royals, who have stormed to the top of the IPL points table behind the explosive form of Yashasvi Jaiswal and a clinical bowling unit that looks unstoppable after disposing of the Mumbai Indians. We break down the key tactical shifts of the 2026 season, including the breakout performances of Sameer Rizvi, whose heroics have rejuvenated the Delhi Capitals, and Priyansh Arya’s impact at PBKS. Plus, we look at RCB's early momentum and why the Mumbai Indians are struggling to find their rhythm in the powerplay. Packed with T20 cricket data, insights, and analysis, this is the definitive guide to the chaos of the opening fortnight. Want to create live streams like this?

Who Is the IPL Team To Fear?
Who is the team to truly fear in IPL 2026? Just five games into the season, the league hierarchy is already looking like a total rollercoaster. In this episode of The Cricket Podcast, we break down a whirlwind opening week that has left some giants reeling and others looking absolutely lethal. We dive deep into the tactical shifts and standout performances defining the early narrative of the 2026 tournament, analyzing whether these trends are here to stay or just a flash in the pan. We start with the Rajasthan Royals masterclass against Chennai Super Kings. Nandre Burger’s dismantling of the Yellow Army has propelled the Royals to the top of the IPL 2026 points table with a staggering +4.171 net run rate. Not far behind, Royal Challengers Bengaluru made a massive statement at the Chinnaswamy with Jacob Duffy leading a clinical victory over Sunrisers Hyderabad, proving their bowling unit finally has the bite to match their superstar batting. The fireworks continued at the Wankhede as Mumbai Indians pulled off a high-octane chase against Kolkata Knight Riders, spearheaded by Shardul Thakur. We also analyze Cooper Connolly’s ice-cold debut for Punjab Kings and the tactical clash between Lucknow Super Giants and Delhi Capitals. Join us for the latest IPL 2026 highlights and our early-season power rankings. Want to create live streams like this?

Rajasthan Royals, PBKS and Delhi Capitals - IPL 2026 Previews
In our final preview show, The Cricket Podcast finally get around to looking at last year's runners up, Punjab Kings, alongside Rajasthan Royals and Delhi Capitals. The Royals may have given away Sanju Samson, but they've got their new superstar now. A year older, maybe a year better, we wonder whether the now 15-year old Vaibhav Suryavanshi can show his prowess over a full IPL season. With some moves made to shore up the middle order, can RR deliver a better season? PBKS were the nearly men last year, and have stuck with much the same formula. Shreyas Iyer's men are aiming for solidity and competence to see them through this year, within a tournament more commonly sprinkled with extremes. Is it finally their time? Last but not least, we turn to Delhi. With King Legend back at the top of the order and a strong looking bowling line-up, could they be the dark horses of the tournament?

SRH, LSG and GT - IPL 2026 Preview
We’re cutting through the PR and "process" talk to look at the high-stakes gambles defining IPL 2026. This is a tactical breakdown of three franchises that have completely nuked their old identities to build something more volatile. Lucknow Super Giants have officially killed off the KL Rahul era. By handing the captaincy to Rishabh Pant and pulling off a blockbuster trade for Mohammed Shami, LSG has gone full "vibes and violence." We debate whether Pant’s chaotic leadership is the spark this sterile franchise needed, or if a lack of batting anchors will lead to a total car crash. Sunrisers Hyderabad made the shock move of the off-season by trading Shami away. It’s a massive middle finger to traditional bowling balance, proving they are obsessed with outrunning every target. With Pat Cummins leading a thin domestic pace attack, the pressure on Travis Head and Heinrich Klaasen to post 240-plus scores every night is astronomical. Gujarat Titans have created the most terrifying opening partnership in the league by pairing Shubman Gill with Jos Buttler. While their top order looks like a cheat code, the real intrigue is in the middle. We look at why they dropped ₹8.4 crore on uncapped sensation Auqib Dar and whether this "top-heavy" blueprint can survive a long season. Learn more about your ad choices.
