Himanish Ganjoo on the historic Indian win at the Gabba and the narrative vs stats version of cricket fandom

On the latest episode of the podcast Himanish Ganjoo makes his debut as the guest analyst. Ganjoo has written for Espn cricinfo and some of his recent written pieces are listed below in the show notes. Like many writers of this generation Ganjoo relies on the stats to tell the actual story of the cricket rather than holding on to the cliched usage of adjectives that have been used to describe the game. 

Through the prism of stats he talks about the readiness of Indian bench which displayed its depth on a weekly basis on this Australian tour. We also take a deeper dive into the batting methods of Rishabh Pant, Rohit Sharma and Cheteshwar Pujara. Last but not the least we compare this Indian batting lineup to its predecessors from the previous generation. 

Some of Himanish's published work is listed here -
