Dream Sports, the company behind Dream11, just bought a piece of Cricbuzz from Times Internet for $50 million. It also bought a stake in Willow TV, a cricket broadcaster in the U.S.As you probably know, Dream11's core business is fantasy sports. But no thanks to new taxes and regulatory friction, their business isn't looking so good lately. Revenue projections are down, growth is slowing, and they haven't raised fresh money since 2021.Cricbuzz, meanwhile,  has hundreds of millions of monthly visits. That too mostly young users which is exactly the kind of crowd Dream11 wants to tap in to. And Willow TV brings in the U.S. diaspora just when cricket is having its moment in the US, driven largely by South Asian immigrants. The country even hosted the T20 World Cup last year. Together, the two open the doors for Dream Sports  to expand, engage, and maybe also survive.But here's the real kicker. Dream Sports only bought a minority stake. Why play small in a high-stakes game? And who's actually the real winner in all of this?Tune in to find out.

Hi there! Welcome to Episode 273 of Never on the Backfoot Podcast. In this episode, we dive into the evolving pathways and challenges facing Associate nations in women's cricket as they strive for a place for equality.  With recent decisions of the ICC, tying ODI status to T20I rankings and new qualification criteria that could reward strategic inactivity, questions arise about fairness and merit. We also look at the unintended consequences of current ranking rules, and what these changes mean for the growth of women's cricket worldwide.

This episode of the show finds us still struggling to get our heads around the Australia v India Test in Adelaide, so we call in one of the best cricket writers in the business to help us make sense of it all. Formerly with the Indian Express and now with CricBuzz, Bharat Sundaresan is also a Penguin Random House author, publishing The Dhoni Touch in 2018. Bharat describes the mad scramble for pads on Day 3 as we process India's shocking collapse and discuss how they can move forward and still compete for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.

There's breaking news about Rohit Sharma and Bharat reluctantly offers up his prediction for the remainder of the series. Before we finish the show, we dip into Bharat's back catalogue to ask what it was like to write a book about MS Dhoni, and what makes MS one of the most fascinating characters of the modern era. We also discuss Bharat's search for West Indian fast bowler Patrick Patterson, and how that mission became so much more than just another piece of copy.
