Mid Wicket Tales with Naseeruddin Shah

Season 1 Episode 26: Glamour and Cricket

This episode guides us through the evolution of cricket as it slowly and steadily entered the world of glamour. Cricket and Bollywood began as two entirely different entities. The bond between them began to blossom with Tiger Pataudi, a Nawab with his own panache and extreme talent in cricket. Then, during the 80s, with the entry and exit of Sandeep Patil, the idea of glamour even threatened to overpower the spirit of the game. Today, however, there is a balanced amalgamation of one entity into the other, especially after the introduction of IPL, a cricket and business venture which saw Bollywood stars owning and actively supporting cricket teams both on and off the field. Cricketers too, though more involved in fashion and lifestyle and their respective public image, are still able to maintain focus on the game.
