The friendliest transcontinental cricket podcast. Join us, a group of Indian fans located in various parts of the globe as we talk through the goings on in cricket through stories, anecdotes and stats. Liberally smattered with attempts at humour, puns, and banter, Bits and Pieces is ideally coupled with a cold beverage and a pinch of salt on the rim. If cricket be your food of love, play on.

Apr 21 2024 61 mins  
Kookaburras in England, Kiwis in Pakistan ... and Ducks in India. As the IPL moves into mid-season madness, our knowledgeable friends assemble to kill many birds with one stone. We ruminate on Travis Head's special liking for opponents in shades of blue, the strange week in the life of Rishabh Pant, Jos Buttler's remarkable 100 v KKR, and a deep-dive into the unforgettable

Ep 119: Is Jasprit Bumrah a Product Manager at Cred?

Apr 14 2024 76 mins  
The answer is no, of course, but why let that come in the way of a buzzword filled headline for your podcast episode! But no, seriously, in Episode 119, we come together and wonder if Bumrah is tough to play because of his PM-like tendencies. We also wonder whether India's T20 World Cup selections will be impacted by the national general election vote-bank politics. Iman is bu

They talk about the IPL, Kohli's "mediocrity", the Nagin Derby and captaincy problems t

Ep 116: One finger points to third man, three fingers point back at Hardik

Mar 25 2024 61 mins  
Two bouncers per over, TV umpires sitting with directors, bright AF stumps, and some ridiculous cricket. As the IPL clown car drives past the first round of matches, you see the bits and pieces gang waving out of it. Join Nitin, Srinath, Chops, Varun Venkatesh, and newest panelist - ex Cricinfo guy, and current writer of shows such as Family Guy, Farzi, Guns and Gulabs and more -

Ep 115: Ee Sala Cup Namdu!

Mar 18 2024 58 mins  
After 16 years, Royal Challengers Bangalore are champions. We lived to witness this fine day. Whodathunk!

Ep 113: Does Mufa Bro have a BCCI contract?

Mar 03 2024 78 mins  
This week, Bits and Pieces goes deep into contract law and HR practices, and quite fittingly, we do this without the lawyer or the HR professional in our gang joining the pod. Our group randomly sympathises with Ishan Kishan and Shreyas Iyer, randomly ridicules the Dharamsala 100th Test darlings Ashwin and Bairstow. And somehow foretells Shardul Bedex Thakur's incredible Ranji

Ep 112: India deflates Gas-ball for Ranchi Trophy

Feb 27 2024 73 mins  
Following India's stirring 3-1 series win over England in Ranchi, the gang assembles for take 112 of trying to explain Bazball. And we have two equally reliable takes on this pod - one delivered by Swami Nithyananda (voice acted by Mimicry Marauder Prashant DP), and one from our own Night-hawk Iman Pande, who joins the panel from under a blanket in a hotel bedroom in Bellandur
