This episode tells the story of how India’s rise as a cricketing nation was linked to a dynastic union between the English and Portugues royal families and reveals how the Parsi community of Bombay began playing cricket in the 1830s. We take a look at the earliest Indian cricket clubs and their struggles to be taken seriously as cricketers by the British and to find space to practice and play.
