Starring Esther Anil and Praveen Kishore in the lead, this coming-of-age drama needed more drama

The Test S03

Drama, Documentary (English)

Short, engaging peek into cricketing drama

Mon, July 29 2024

IPL 2024 is over, but here’s a chance for you to watch how the Australian cricket team went about tackling the WTC final against India and The Ashes against England

Around halfway of the second episode of the latest season of The Test, drama erupts. English batter Jonny Bairstow ducks a bouncer, the ball goes to the keeper and the batter walks out of the crease. Pretty much a normal thing that happens during a Test match, you’d think. But there’s tense music in the background, almost like you know something is going to happen.
