Ep 166: Jumping Jhapaak Jampak Champak, from Kantara to Vantara
As IPL heads into mid season frenzy, Bits and Pieces turns its eyes to the most pressing matters around the greatest show on earth: The origins of Champak the dog, an RCA into RR's demise (not to be confused with RCA's RCA into RR's demise), a meditation on Ishan Kishan Walk-gate, a healthy debate on whether Suryakumar Yadav is in form or not, live images from the street in Chennai that may or may not be named after R Ashwin, and a blow by blow reconstruction of Josh Hazlewood's fantastic four-over spell against... some team... who remembers. Is he even playing this season?For a more detailed investigation into PGK's role in injuries behind the paywall, and a deepdive with proof that PGK is indeed Champak the dog, please become a paying member of Bits and Pieces.

Ep 165: Chicken 65 Super Kings and Kantara Legend Rahul
In which, we go back to the era when MS had Do Knees, and wonder if Umar Gul's Bowl-out inspired Digvesh Rathi, who signs off autographs for Travis Head to distribute to eager fans in supermarkets, and for Abhishek Sharma to flaunt after hitting match-winning 100s. In which Shreyas Iyer inspires order to the proceedings, and in which KL Rahul and Krunal Pandya follow in the illustrious footsteps of Anil Kumble, in two entirely different contexts.If nothing in the above paragraph made sense, don't panic - CSK's season is making even lesser sense.
