Michael Clarke and Gerard Middleton return for an IPL special on Beyond23, diving into the biggest stories from a blockbuster week in the world’s premier T20 competition — alongside major talking points across the global game.

The conversation kicks off with the red-hot form of Punjab Kings, who are quickly becoming one of the most exciting teams of the tournament. Michael and Gerard break down what’s clicking, the key players driving their success, and whether they can sustain their momentum deep into the competition.

From there, attention turns to the Australian contingent in the IPL, with several big names struggling to find consistency. The guys unpack what’s going wrong, the pressure that comes with the world’s biggest T20 league, and which Aussies are most in need of a turnaround.

The pressure theme continues as they take a closer look at some of the IPL’s biggest franchises, including the underperforming heavyweights who are beginning to feel the heat. With expectations sky-high, Michael and Gerard discuss what needs to change — and fast — to keep their campaigns alive.

Back on home soil, the discussion shifts to the future of the Big Bash League, as talks around privatisation begin to gather momentum. The boys explore what it could mean for the competition, the potential benefits and risks, and how it may reshape the Australian cricket landscape.

They also reflect on the prestigious Wisden Awards, highlighting the standout players recognised this year and what those honours say about the current state of the game.

To wrap things up, it’s time for fan-favourite segments, with “Pup’s Picks” presented by TAB delivering Michael’s best bets and insights, followed by “Under The Radar” presented by Radar Tyres — shining a light on the performances and stories you might have missed.
