The Parsi community significantly contributed to Mumbai's status as India's financial and trading capital, but did you know they also played a key role in popularizing cricket in the country? Their involvement in the sport dates back to the 1840s, and by the early 1900s, when they were dominant in the Bombay cricket scene, with many Parsis representing the Indian national team.

Tune in to ‘A Century of Stories: Cricket’ presented by IDFC FIRST Bank, and hosted by Cyrus Broacha. A proud Parsi, and a bonafide cricket tragic, Cyrus takes us down the memory lane and sheds light on Parsi community’s contribution to India.
