In this episode, former Tamil Nadu and India cricketer Hemang Badani talks about his playing career, his move from Tamil Nadu to Vidarbha and his playing days with the Indian Cricket League (ICL). He explains the reasons behind Tamil Nadu not producing cricketers that represented India for a long time, and not having won the Ranji Trophy more than twice. He talks about his role in the legendary partnership between Rahul Dravid and VVS Laxman in 2001 vs. Australia, in Kolkata.
