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.

🎙️ Hosts: Taran & Ishaan
 💬 Send us your thoughts on India’s Test future & who you’d pick for the next red-ball XI.
