  • Summary

  • Indian cricket enthusiasts often joke about the influence of money, and corruption, and wonder if the wild results in the IPL are “scripted”. Cricketing authorities and media veer away from these subjects to go quickly to the pitches, pink balls, and fluorescent cheerleader outfits.

    Welcome to The Dark Side of Cricket, a show that will shine a light on cricket’s not so shiny moments – from match-fixing and Dawood Ibrahim to doping and mental burnout. Keep listening to the Vice Original.
