The Bharat Army
Fresh on the heels of India's test victory over England, bang in the middle of the IPL, and just days ahead of the Indian elections, this episode looks at partition.
We consider Indian independence from the UK, its relationship with Pakistan, and its national identity, with a particular focus on how this has all been reflected in cricket in the subsequent 77 years.
We ask whether the IPL trumps the world cup in Modi's India? Whether its worth risking losing to Pakistan to try and engineer a win? And what the world would have been like with Virat Kohli and Babar Azam in the same side?
