Cricket is a national obsession. Little wonder then, the sport is the most discussed among the youth. But is the enthusiasm and worship still the same? In this 18-minute podcast, comedians Varun Thakur, Neville Shah, Karan Talwar and Zakir Khan state what the sport meant to them in their childhood and how their perception has changed over time. "How can I be a fan of KL Rahul, who is five years younger to me? We knew Sachin Tendulkar was big because he was elder to us. Today, you tend to feel bad when you see the kids being more successful than you are," chuckles Khan.
