In this episode of NL Playoffs, hosts Aniketh and Gowtham are joined by Newslaundry’s Anand Vardhan to pay tribute to Shane Warne, the ‘king of spin’.

They talk about Warne’s debut, the ball of the century, his mentor Terry Jenner, his most memorable spells, 700th wicket, the controversies around him, and more. They also discuss the encounters between Tendulkar and Warne. Anand says Warne had already been neutralised by openers before facing Tendulkar. “He didn't carry his greatness too seriously and he wore it very lightly on his shoulders and that gave him a box-office element.”

As the conversation moves to Warne’s controversies, Aniketh says that “no one is black or white. Everyone here has aspects of life…and once you become a public figure, these things come out.” Aniketh mentions that he envied Adam Gilchrist’s position just because he had the best seat in the house to see Warne bowl. Gowtham adds that Warne never shirked or moved away from any challenge. 

When they speak about the ball of the century and Mike Gatting’s dismissal, Anand says, “How good a ball looks ultimately depends on how badly it was played.”

The episode ends with their favourite king of spin moments, and Warne’s favourite Bruce Springsteen song Thunder Road.

They also discuss India’s performance, from Neeraj Chopra to Aditi Ashok, and their favourite moments in the Olympics.

On Lionel Messi leaving Barcelona after two decades and moving on to Paris Saint Germain, Zenia talks about Messi and Sergio Ramos being on the same team. “I don’t know whether Ramos would be able to resist tackling Messi just every time he’s near the goal,” she says. “This is going to change a lot of dynamics.”

Aniketh also asks Zenia if she thinks PSG is now the most hated club in the world. You’ll have to tune in to find out what she says.

Aniketh argues that coach Gareth Southgate's strategy to play a defensive game for about 85 minutes after his team had scored an early goal led to England's defeat. Gowtham points out that the English couldn't make use of the home advantage they had playing at Wembley. 

They also discuss the racist comments directed at Jadon Sancho, Marcus Rashford and Bukayo Saka, all of whom failed to convert their penalties in the shootout, after the match.
