Cricket itself is a drama. But when cricket and its ecosystem are transformed into a drama for the screen, the excitement is doubled. We were able to test this in the first 2 seasons of Amazon's popular Inside Edge series.
Set in India and around the fake Mumbai Mavericks Cricket Club, Inside Edge examined the nasties of the cricket planet: match fixing, doping, player issues, power struggles between the money sacks these franchises have, and the craving. that extends to the sports hierarchy. The creative team did it with attractiveness and poise.

So when Inside Edge Season three airs from December XNUMX, the air of anticipation is understandable.
The nagging question of exactly what aspect of the cricket-side show the authors will choose to focus on this time also hangs in the air.
It is claimed that the series is going to focus on portraying women in leadership roles in cricket.
In the new season, the stakes also rise as rivalries deepen on and off the court, with newer and darker secrets to be unveiled in the search for cricket team captain Indian.
Women and Indian cricket
With women's cricket at the center of the world stage, also on Inside Edge, the plot centers on a woman's fight for the all-powerful presidency of the Indian Cricket Council. Can sport, formally described as a game of gentlemen, also be transformed into a game of checkers? Or are the sacrifices of belligerent women going to be in vain?
The actual figures do not favor women in sport and are far from encouraging. It appears that women occupy less than ten% of the seats in sports associations and governing bodies in India.
Eight national sports associations do not have female representation in their governing bodies. In UK first-class county cricket, there is only one managing board and one president.
The International Olympic Committee had thirty-three female members and honorary members out of a total of one hundred and forty-four in two thousand and nineteen.
These stats can provide context for Inside Edge's epoch three. Along those lines, you can look forward to seeing certain social commentary on new issues of the web series whose first season was Emmy-nominated.
Streaming from December XNUMX on Amazon Prime Video
The hugely popular cricket drama is created by Karan Anshuman and directed by Kanishk Varma.
Inside Edge Season three stars Vivek Oberoi, Richa Chadha, Tanuj Virwani, Aamir Bashir, Sayani Gupta, Sapna Pabbi, Akshay Oberoi, Sidhant Gupta, and Amit Sial, among many others.
It will air on Amazon Prime Video from December 2. In the same way as in the XNUMX previous seasons, the third will also have ten episodes.
In an interesting promo for Inside Edge Season Three, the authors asked former Indian cricketer and coach Ravi Shastri to speak to the media, asking what he thought of the role of captain for the Mumbai Mavericks. And Ravi Shastri, responds in his usual hyperbolic way.
