Episode Notes

Ahead of the 2021 Indian Premier League, cricket superstars Smriti Mandhana, Ben Stokes and KL Rahul discuss what to expect from the hugely anticipated competition with Isa Guha.

Recorded live on Clubhouse, they discussed how they've been preparing for the tournament, what they're expecting and the prospect of a full women's IPL. They also chatted on the rivalry between India vs. England, their training, how they focus their mind to deal with pressure - as well as what really happened between Ben, KL and those arm sleeves in the recent One Day International series...

There was an additional Q&A section exclusively on Clubhouse where the audience asked questions - including the players' thoughts on DRS, and even West Indies legend Carlos Brathwaite joined in the conversation.
