Red-Ball Reality Check: Inside India’s 2–0 Loss to South Africa

Send us a text

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.
