In this episode, Sharmz and Jai dive deep into the most dominant force in cricket today — BCCI is the richest cricket board in the world, but this was not always the case. BCCI has emerged as the most powerful board in the cricket world, and rightly so with its huge audience. From a time when Indian cricketers were treated like second-class athletes to now being the richest cricket board in the world, the rise of the BCCI is nothing short of extraordinary.🇮🇳 India is now the champion of world cricket, but it wasn’t always this way. Did you know Indian cricketers once had to travel by cargo ship and survive on just £1 a week while touring England? In contrast, English and Australian players enjoyed five-star luxury. This wasn’t just financial hardship — it was national humiliation.Fast forward to today, and the BCCI earns over ₹20,000 crore, dwarfing the combined revenues of the English, Australian, and Pakistani cricket boards. So how did BCCI become so powerful? Today, we discuss the answers to some questions that get to the heart of this dominance. What was the business strategy behind this massive transformation? And is BCCI’s dominance helping or harming global cricket? How much does the BCCI earn? Join us as we uncover the real story behind Indian cricket’s rise to power and debate whether the BCCI is a force for good — or a barrier to a more balanced global game.👇 Watch now and let us know your thoughts in the comments!#cricket #indiancricket #indiancricketfan #cricketfan #bcci #ipl #crickethistory #cricketnews #worldcricket #indiaMUSIC BY :- TEC_MUSIC_COMusic Link :- • Punjabi Desi Music Beat Free Download...

Disclaimer: This episode was recorded before Adam Azim won the IBO World Champion title against Sergei Lipinets and before Hamzah Sheeraz fought Carlos Adames! A Part 2 will be coming up to cover all of the action!In today’s episode, Raian and Jai talk about the rise of British Pakistani boxing. Driven by a combination of talent, resilience, and increased representation in the sport. Amir Khan’s 2004 Olympic silver medal and world championship reign inspired a new generation, proving that British Pakistanis could compete at the highest level. Since then, boxers like Adil Anwar, Hamzah Sheeraz, The Azim brothers, Shabaz Mousoud, Aquib Fiaz and others have emerged. Community-driven gyms and increased media visibility have also played a role in breaking barriers and challenging stereotypes. As more British Pakistani fighters make their mark, the sport continues to grow within the community, fostering a new era of champions.Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/the.brownplaybook/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@brownplaybook?_t=ZN-8v75SPRcYqM&_r=1Learn more about South Asian sports: https://www.tiktok.com/@fortheballer?_t=ZN-8v75cwQhJJe&_r=1#boxing #boxer #boxingfans #boxingtraining #britishboxing #pakistani #britishpakistaniMUSIC BY :- TEC_MUSIC_COMusic Link :- • Punjabi Desi Music Beat Free Download...
