Life@IISM

The student life at IISM continues to be filled with exciting opportunities to get
involved in the world of sport in various capacities and the past month fell
nothing short of delivering just that. The students experienced two inspiring
sessions with experts from the world of Football and Cricket. We take a look at
how life at IISM unfolded this past month.
1. Interactive Session with Bhaichung Bhutia and David Moyes
The students of the BSM and MSM batches at IISM got a chance to attend an
interactive Q&A session with Indian Football Legend Mr. Bhaichung Bhutia and
former Everton and Manchester United Manager Mr. David Moyes. The session
was held at the picturesque Mumbai Cricket Association Club at Bandra-Kurla
Complex. The esteemed guests answered a variety of questions from the students
on topics related to Indian and World football.
2. Media in Sports session with Gideon Haigh
IISM students from BSM and MSM were witness to an inquisitive session with
renowned Australian journalist and writer Gideon Haigh. Gideon Haigh played
cricket at a club level, and has covered cricket extensively, from cricketing
disputes to the Kerry Parker revolution, the back to back Ashes of 2013-14 and
Shane Warne. Gideon was in India for the launch of a new edition of his debut
book, The Cricket War: The Story of Kerry Packer’s World Series Cricket and paid
IISM a visit. Gideon answered a lot of queries from the students regarding Media
in Sports and his expert answers provided the students with clarity and a better
understanding of the role and importance of media in the sporting world.

3. IISM Students at the India - New Zealand ODI at Wankhede
The MSM-2 students got an opportunity to work on a huge live event - the India-
NZ One-Day International at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. 8 students from
the final year batch were part of the operational team that organized the ODI
match. This experience allowed the students to get involved in an active manner
in the handlings of things backstage at a massive event. The chance of working an
active of such magnitude surely provided the students with a great learning
experience which will help them in their future in the sporting world.
4. IISM Cricket Team Shines in Mumbai University Tournament
The IISM Cricket Team comprised of students across all the BSM and MSM years
continued to make waves in the Mumbai University tournament as they brushed
aside competition in their first three matches with ease. The latest match saw
them beat the team from Thakur College, Kandivali by 8 wickets in the third round
of the University tournament. The team has qualified for the pre-quarters stage
and will play the next match soon after the draws are completed. We wish the
IISM Cricket squad all the best for the future rounds!
