In this episode of Yorker, I’m joined by RJ Nivi—a radio jockey at Radio City Rajasthan who’s building her space at the intersection of media and sports.

We talk about her journey into radio, the realities of working on-air, and how her passion for sports—especially cricket—has shaped her path.

We also dive into her thoughts on women in sports, the challenges and opportunities in the space, and what leadership and captaincy mean in the context of cricket today.

Plus, we get into IPL—teams, players, and how she’s watching the season unfold.

A really insightful conversation around media, cricket, and carving your identity in sports.

USA U19 cricketer Rayaan Taj joins Yorkerpod to talk about his cricket journey, his experience growing up in the US, and what it takes to stay ready at the highest level.

From his early days in the game to making an impact in the Scotland match with a 3-wicket spell, Rayaan shares his mindset, preparation, and approach to bowling.

In this episode of Yorker, I sit down with the mind behind Cricbhooka — an ex-state cricketer who is now using his platform to bring a fresh perspective to cricket through analysis, storytelling, and a strong focus on women’s cricket.

We dive into his journey from playing state-level cricket to building a content platform, and the thought process behind his Ground Zero series — where he highlights stories from the grassroots that often go unnoticed.

A major part of this conversation focuses on women’s cricket — the gaps in storytelling, the challenges at the grassroots level, and why these stories deserve more visibility in today’s cricket media landscape.

If you’re interested in cricket beyond just scores — this one’s for you.
