Spinning Pitch Disaster: Inside India’s Costly Loss to South Africa
Update: 2025-11-17
Description
India’s home fortress cracks again. South Africa claim a rare Test victory in India, and the story is bigger than just a bad day at the office. In this episode, we dissect the chaotic spinning pitch, Gautam Gambhir’s “no excuses” stance, and India’s puzzling team selection—four spinners on a wicket that demanded more batting.
We break down:
- India’s batting collapse in both innings
- Whether Shubman Gill’s injury was avoidable
- Washington Sundar’s surprise role at No. 3
- Kuldeep vs. Axar vs. team balance
- Bavuma’s gritty 55 and the partnership that changed everything
- South Africa’s clinical execution without Rabada
- Why this might be one of India’s biggest home Tests in a decade
With India now trailing 0–1 in a two-match series, the second Test becomes a do-or-die clash. Can India avoid another home series defeat?
