This week is the first part of our chat with cricket writer and author, Bharat Sunderesan. We talk everything from Bharat’s lustrous locks to elusive Raina fans to his obsession with West Indies cricket, watching net practice and wrestling. We also cover the infamous 36/9 test match at Adelaide from India’s tour of Australia.
