The Strategic Timeout launches with a look ahead to IPL 2026, hosted by Amber Sandhu and joined by The Traitors 2026 finalist Faraaz Noor and former IPL player Abhishek Jhunjhunwala. The panel reflect on how the competition has evolved from what was once a “massive gamble” into the most influential league in world cricket, with Abhishek sharing first-hand experiences from the early IPL years, including playing alongside Shane Warne and how the tournament proved “life-changing” for domestic players.
The episode also previews the 2026 season, breaking down key auction trends, team strengths and the growing focus on uncapped Indian talent. With rising price tags placing immediate pressure on young players, the panel debate whether Virat Kohli’s 2025 title win changes his legacy, assess which teams look strongest, and discuss where the pressure lies heading into the new campaign.

Verstappen DOMINANT as Antonelli extends title lead 🏎️ How the Bahrain GP in Malaysia unfolded!
Max Verstappen never looked back from pole position to win the Bahrain Grand Prix in Malaysia, securing his first victory of 2026.
Harry Benjamin, former Formula E driver Sam Bird and the BBC’s F1 correspondent Andrew Benson analyse how the Red Bull driver did it.
They also unpick a chaotic start to the race which was initially delayed by a tropical downpour, before a software issue affected most of the grid on the formation lap and caused another delay.
Plus, with George Russell being forced to retire, is it now only a matter of time before Kimi Antonelli secures his first world title? And how did Lewis Hamilton fight back to the podium after a miserable first few laps which saw him slip way down the field?
00:00 The most chaotic start in F1 history?
