Description

Let's go back to the 1800s when the English started playing the game on the Indian subcontinent. It was the newly displaced Indian Royals who first took to cricket, as a proxy to their power struggle. This patronage then slowly extended from the Maharajas to skilled Indian commoners, ultimately growing the game in the country and revolutionizing this sport. 

Hear about their dedication, influence on talent and lasting impact on the game uniting millions only on A Century Of Stories: Cricket podcast, presented by IDFC FIRST Bank hosted by Cyrus Broacha.
