COMING SOON: Bonus episode! David will be answering YOUR questions about the life of a franchise cricketer. Get in touch via the methods below.
It's May 2023 and David looks back at a disappointing IPL for him and his team Kolkata Knight Riders. He discusses adjusting to being part of a squad but not playing regularly, and gives an insider's view of how a team reacts when things don't go their way.
On the agenda: birthday cake in the face, entering the orbit of MS Dhoni, social media scrutiny, unpopular coaching styles and dressing room disquiet, outrageous displays of wealth, sharing a drink with a Bollywood star, the role of the all-rounder under threat, batters playing for themselves, year-round contracts, and team owners vs. the BCCI!
The DRS decision David still can't believe went against him (13m24s): https://www.iplt20.com/video/48668/m33-kkr-vs-csk--match-highlights?tagNames=2023
