So it should come as no surprise that my favourite sports program is also based on cricket.
Its name is Breakfast with Champions.
On this show, the anchor invites various cricketers and interviews them casually while sharing a meal with them.

Funnily, although the show is called Breakfast with Champions, they normally have lunch or dinner together.
As most cricketers have practice in the morning.
I don’t remember the name of the anchor, but he is the reason I love this show much.
He makes the cricketers feel very comfortable, and while talking, they share some of their most exciting off and on-field stories.
It’s fun to hear some of the dressing home stories and pranks they have played on each other.
I started watching it randomly when YouTube recommended me one of its episodes.
Why do you like to watch it?
It was the episode with Ashish Nehra, a famous Indian ex-cricketer who is retired now. However, he was still playing at the time of the interview.
It was one of the most entertaining interviews I had seen.
After that, I watched another episode with Virat Kohli, the most famous Indian cricketer at the moment.
I was surprised when I saw that the show was in the 6th season.
In fact, that episode with Ashish Nehra got viral, and that’s when most people came to know about this amazing TV show.
When do you watch it? and Conclusion:
I don’t have a fixed time for watching it, I just randomly play an episode while having dinner, and I normally watch it alone.
