He shares fascinating stories about the pioneers such as Shubhangi Kulkarni, Aloo Bamjee, Diana Edulji and M.K. Sharma.

We unpack his forthcoming book, Her Story Her Glory: The Making of Women's Cricket in India and explores what it takes researching and writing a book with a historical account.

We reflect on the stories, struggles and triumphs that have shaped women’s cricket and acknowledge the pioneers whose contribution remains largely overlooked.

Furthermore, the conversation goes beyond the book as Aditya shares never heard before stories about Indian cricket legends such as Salim Durani, Anshuman Gaekwad and Col C.K. Nayudu.

As we go down the memory lane, Aditya shares a particularly interesting anecdote from his conversations with the Prince of Indian cricket, Salim Durani.

“When asked who is your favourite cricketer? He thought for a moment. And then just said Salim Durani. Of course I love myself. I used to love my batting, and that was really the essence of the man."

Join us on a deeply enriching conversation.
