In this episode of Lallantop Baithki, our guest is cricketer Unmukt Chand. Once hailed as the rising star of Indian cricket, why did his career suddenly take a downturn with time? Why was he repeatedly benched? Despite strong performances, why was he dropped from the team? Was there really an internal conspiracy? Who was behind it all? And did that one delivery from Brett Lee truly change the course of his career? Unmukt opens up about how tough it was to retire from Indian cricket at just 28, how the dream of playing in America was born, and why he couldn’t secure a permanent spot there either.
