He has recently hosted ‘Spicy Pitch’ a 20-part interview series with the current Indian cricket stars which is currently streaming on India’s largest digital cricket platform Cricbuzz! Manish is all set to bring his trademark irreverence and wit in some fun conversations with cricket legends.
The Road Safety World Series will be broadcast live on Colors Cineplex and Viacom’s Voot.

Manish will be seen bringing some exclusive content around this T20 tournament on Voot and he says, “These are heroes that define the romance of cricket for me! I have grown up watching them over the years and it’s a super opportunity to get to interview those that have a treasure of stories and glorious moments to share from their vast awe-inspiring careers. It’s an absolute honour and I can’t wait to get into action mode for this series which is also being played for a great cause. While there’ll be good natured fun and banter in the interviews, it’s great to know that this series will also lead to greater awareness on Road Safety in India. I’m super excited to host my first gig with the Viacom family and I hope it leads to many more such fun anchoring opportunities in entertainment and sports with one of the most admired media companies in the world! Do catch all the fun conversations with these legends on Voot this March. It’ll be fun because #YehJungHaiLegendary.”
