Episode 20: East Bengal is Back!

Bhasker welcomes Sayak Dipta, an East Bengal FC fan, member of the East Bengal Ultras and a writer at Sportskeeda and KyroSports, as well as TB regular Abhishek, to the podcast. Sayak talks about his experiences as an East Bengal fan and what it means for his team and the fanbase now that the club have joined the Indian Super League, along with their hopes and aspirations around the players, the manager and the future of East Bengal.

Abhishek pitches in to give some insight on the business side of things, the role Shree Cement have played and why it didn't work out with Quess.
