Prime Video launches cricket mini-series ‘Taking Guard’

That said, the series, through archival match footage, sound bytes and graphics, explores India’s rivalry with the Kiwis in 1967. The documentary runs through the various themes that describe India’s tour of New Zealand over the years.

Ravi Shastri, Ajit Agarkar, Danny Morrison, Simon Dole, Harsha Bhogle and Ian Smith will be the narrators of the series. A close watcher of this rivalry, Bhogle has been narrating the ups and downs of some of these matches from the commentary box, also narrating his experience.

Chaitanya Dewan, Head of Sports for Streaming Services in India, said, “We are committed to serving our customers in India by providing on-demand access to the best in entertainment across all formats, genres and languages. We are excited to bring them the best of live sports and offer a whole new viewing experience of the much-awaited bi-lateral tour between two of the cricketing stalwarts – India and New Zealand this November.”

He added: “Indians have a huge appetite for cricket and we are excited to introduce the new special mini-series Taking Guard ahead of India’s much-anticipated tour of New Zealand in a few weeks. Featuring insight and analysis from cricketing stalwarts, Taking Guard puts the spotlight on the rivalry between the two nations, which barely notices any teeth, snorts or heated moments on the field, but is filled with intense competition and mutual respect. Is. We are excited and look forward to this competition between two awesome and equally matched teams and will announce a few more initiatives for cricket fans in the coming weeks as the action moves from Australia to New Zealand.

As a part of the multi-year partnership, international men’s and women’s cricket matches played across all formats in New Zealand will be available on the Steaming platform.
