Amazon Music India To Exclusively Release R. Ashwin's Popular Cricketing Podcast Ash Ki Baat This Season

Cricket fever is back in season and conversations about the game are plentiful. Joining this trend of candid commentaries and match reviews is Amazon Music India with its exclusive collaboration with Ravichandran Ashwin, the boy next door of the game, and his immensely popular cricketing podcast, Ash Ki Baat.

With nearly 406K+ subscribers on YT, Ash Ki Baat is where Ashwin watches and dissects the game of cricket like no one else. It's where cricket meets entertainment, insight meets humour, and where audiences get their daily dose of that extra something after the game has ended.

This collaboration brings the first 30 podcast episodes exclusively to Amazon Music during this cricketing season, offering fans a front-row seat to all the cricketing fervour. It builds on the platform's growing podcast portfolio by bringing one of cricket's most loved and widely followed shows to its listeners.

On Dec 18, 2024, R. Ashwin bid adieu to international cricket, but his hustle continued off the field. On Ash Ki Baat, he breaks down the game over by over, and strike by strike, offering the audience early access to expert match analysis and behind-the-scenes perspectives, making every cricketing moment more engaging and personal.

Ravichandran Ashwin , cricketer and host of Ash Ki Baat said, "Cricket has always been about conversations, both on and off the field; it's what makes the game so loved all over the world. With Ash Ki Baat, the idea has been to bring fans closer to the sport through honest, insightful and sometimes fun perspectives from within the game. Working with Amazon Music India allows us to take these exciting conversations to a wider audience, especially during peak cricket seasons. I'm really looking forward to fans tuning in and being part of this journey."

Rishabh Gupta, Country Head, Amazon Music India added, "We are building an all-audio entertainment destination for all fans. The objective is to elevate Amazon Music India beyond its current status as a music streaming service by offering rich and engaging podcast experiences for our listeners. In India, cricket is more than just a game; it's the country's pulse, deeply centered on emotion, and we want our listeners to feel closer to the game. We're excited to collaborate with Ash Ki Baat and offer our listeners an immersive experience of the game."

With exclusive access and timely conversations, Amazon Music continues to go beyond just listening, creating richer and more immersive audio experiences for its audiences.
