Ahead of the much-anticipated India–Australia T20 clash, cricket fans in Victoria are in for a special treat.

📍 The Commons, Gwynne Street, Cremorne
🗓 Friday, 31 October | 4:00–5:00 PM
Known for his positive, player-centred journalism, Vimal Kumar has carved a unique niche in Indian cricket media. From being invited by Rohit Sharma to join the team’s trophy celebration in the West Indies to conducting exclusive one-on-one interviews with stars like Virat Kohli, Ravichandran Ashwin, and MS Dhoni, Kumar’s career is a testament to integrity and passion.
Underneath his humility lies a remarkable journey — from Dumka in Jharkhand to global cricket grounds — chronicling not just matches, but the human stories behind them. His philosophy?
“You don’t have to do negative, toxic or sensational stories for TRPs. Good cricket stories also do well.”
At Cricket Kahani Baaz, Melbourne fans will get to hear these stories firsthand — the moments when cricket legends opened up, the emotions behind iconic wins, and the unforgettable encounters that shaped modern Indian cricket.
Expect an evening filled with nostalgia, laughter, and the warmth of a storyteller who has witnessed Indian cricket’s golden moments up close. Whether you’re a fan of Sachin Tendulkar’s artistry, Dhoni’s calm, or Kohli’s fire, this session promises an intimate look at the personalities who’ve defined a generation of cricket.
As the city gears up for another India–Australia face-off, Vimal Kumar’s tales remind us why cricket isn’t just a game — it’s an emotion that unites millions.
Vimal says,
“G’day Melbourne! Don’t miss your chance to be part of Cricket Kahani Baaz and celebrate the spirit of the game before the big match under the Friday lights.”
