In this episode of the BSVS Podcast, World Cup winner Munaf Patel opens up like never before. Now the bowling coach for Delhi Capitals, Munaf, discusses his new role, the logic behind DC’s 8.4 Crore bid for Aquib Khan, and why he firmly backs Prithvi Shaw to make a comeback.

Munaf gets brutally honest about the state of Indian cricket, arguing that fans shouldn't blame Gautam Gambhir for recent Test struggles. Instead, he points to the BCCI’s domestic pitch rules (6mm grass) that he believes are destroying spinners' development.

He also takes us back to the golden days—sharing untold stories from the 2011 World Cup dressing room, the "chaos" of winning the inaugural IPL with Shane Warne, and his first impressions of a young Jasprit Bumrah. Plus, hear his unfiltered take on the India-Pakistan handshake controversy and why he believes India should have won 5-6 T20 World Cups by now.
