## Resource

Were fast bowlers of the past actually quicker or has modern cricket taken pace to another level? In this episode of Cricket Unfiltered, journalists and cricket enthusiasts Rajdeep Sardesai and Nikhil Naz go head-to-head on a fascinating generational debate, comparing legends like Jeff Thomson with today’s stars Pat Cummins and Jofra Archer. From uncovered pitches and minimal protection to today’s high-tech gear, fitness regimes, and bowling machines—has evolution made cricketers faster or just smarter? The conversation also dives into the IPL era, rising names like Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, and the big question: is Mumbai or Delhi the true capital of Indian cricket today? Plus, a surprising cultural twist—how legends like Asha Bhosle and Madhubala shared a deep love for the game. Tune in! Produced by Taniya Dutta Sound mixed by Rohan Bharti
