Back to EpisodesRed-Ball Reality Check: Inside India’s 2–0 Loss to South Africa
Description
India getting whitewashed 2–0 at home by South Africa wasn’t on many bingo cards. But it happened — and Taran & Ishaan are here to unpack every painful detail.
In this episode of the In-Between Overs Podcast, the guys dive into:
- Why South Africa looked more at home in Indian conditions
- The selection philosophy: too many all-rounders, not enough specialist batters
- The Ranji grinders who keep getting ignored (Eswaran, Sarfaraz & more)
- Gautam Gambhir’s future as Test coach and whether India need split red/white-ball coaching
- The impact of scheduling, lack of red-ball prep and white-ball hangover
- Standout performances from Janssen, Harmer, Muthusamy, Stubbs and Bavuma
It’s part rant, part therapy session, and part honest look at where Indian Test cricket stands right now.
