The Grand Indian ODI Celebration: Recent Episodes
Akshay Kalbag
This is a cricket podcast hosted by Akshay Kalbag, who has, so far, compiled a series of blogs on India's limited-overs cricketing journey from 1974 to now.
With this episode, I make a comeback to podcasting after a break.
Also, the timing is doubly appropriate, because India played its 1,000th ODI a couple of days ago, and today is Mohammad Azharuddin's birthday.

Hi!
As India gears up to play its 1,000th One-day International, I would love to take you on a journey that has spanned 47 years so far, and celebrate the team that has done the hard yards (between those 22 yards). Of course, there are going to be some blues along the way, but would the Men in Blue have been so successful if it weren't for those stepping stones en route to this milestone? To quote the legendary M S Dhoni, "Definitely not!"
