In this episode of NL Playoffs, hosts Aniketh and Gowtham are joined by Newslaundry’s Anand Vardhan to pay tribute to Shane Warne, the ‘king of spin’.
They talk about Warne’s debut, the ball of the century, his mentor Terry Jenner, his most memorable spells, 700th wicket, the controversies around him, and more. They also discuss the encounters between Tendulkar and Warne. Anand says Warne had already been neutralised by openers before facing Tendulkar. “He didn't carry his greatness too seriously and he wore it very lightly on his shoulders and that gave him a box-office element.”
As the conversation moves to Warne’s controversies, Aniketh says that “no one is black or white. Everyone here has aspects of life...and once you become a public figure, these things come out.” Aniketh mentions that he envied Adam Gilchrist’s position just because he had the best seat in the house to see Warne bowl. Gowtham adds that Warne never shirked or moved away from any challenge.
When they speak about the ball of the century and Mike Gatting’s dismissal, Anand says, “How good a ball looks ultimately depends on how badly it was played.”
The episode ends with their favourite king of spin moments, and Warne’s favourite Bruce Springsteen song Thunder Road.

In this episode of NL Playoffs, hosts Aniketh and Gowtham speak with fellow Newslaundry subscriber Abhijeet Dangat and Newslaundry writer Anand Vardhan about Cristiano Ronaldo’s return to Manchester United. While Gowtham reckons Ronaldo won’t be as good as he used to be given his advancing years, Aniketh argues that the former Real Madrid Juventus starman is the leader that Manchester United needed. Anand agrees with parts of both Gowtham and Aniketh’s arguments.
Talking about the drama at the Italian Grand Prix, where title contenders Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton knocked each other out of the race resulting in Mclaren’s Daniel Ricciardo and Lando Norris securing the top two places on the podium.
The panel then discuss the India vs England Test series. Here, Anand shares his views about the generational gap in cricket and how new players are different from those of the olden days.
Abhijeet is keen to talk about the US Open and how Emma Raducanu won the women’s championship after coming in ranked 150th in the world. The panel also dabble into that old debate: who is better tennis player, Novak Djokovic or Roger Federer?
