Yashasvi Jaiswal's double hundred takes centre stage as the hosts analyze his impactful innings, discussing how it influenced India's dominating performance. But it wasn't just Jaiswal who stole the show; Jasprit Bumrah's brilliance in both innings emerges as the linchpin of India's success.

🏏 In this episode, join Deepanjan, Naman, and Swapneel as they discuss India's defeat in the first Test against England.

First, the trio dives into the stellar performances of the Indian spinners in the first innings, creating moments of magic.

Despite solid innings from Jaiswal, KL Rahul, and Jadeja, all fell short of converting their 80-odd runs into a century, leaving questions lingering in the air. The hosts explore England's remarkable comeback in the 1st Test, overcoming a substantial 190-run lead. Pope's heroic 196 runs and Tom Hartley's stellar 7-wicket haul tilted the scales in favour of England, claiming a 1-0 lead in the 5-match series.

As India faced batting woes in the 2nd innings, the hosts analyze the struggle of the top order and the resilient fight showcased by the lower order. A critical question arises: Is Rohit Sharma's captaincy too timid and defensive? Does he lack a plan B when faced with adversity?

Shifting focus to the West Indies, the podcasters discuss their historic Test series draw against Australia. For the first time in 27 years, the West Indies secured a Test win against Australia in Australia. The debutant Shamar Joseph's heroic 7-wicket haul, even with an injured foot, etches his name in cricketing folklore.

Buckle up for a thrilling episode as we dissect the heart-pounding opening match of the 2023 Cricket World Cup, featuring a face-off between cricket giants India and Australia. This match had it all - sensational bowling, dramatic collapses, a resilient partnership, and a touch of cricketing humour.

India's spin trio of Ravindra Jadeja, Kuldeep Yadav, and Ravichandran Ashwin spun a mesmerizing web around the Australian batsmen, collectively capturing six crucial wickets. Jadeja emerged as the star performer, boasting figures of 3/28 in his 10 overs, leaving the Aussies struggling.

However, Australia mounted a late surge, setting a challenging target of 200 for India. What followed was a dramatic twist of fate as India's top order crumbled to a perilous 2/3 in just 1.5 overs, with three of the top four batsmen dismissed for ducks. Australia sniffed a chance to stage a comeback.

But then, the magic unfolded. KL Rahul and Virat Kohli, two of India's finest, joined forces and orchestrated an iconic partnership worth 164 runs. King Kohli, as always, played a masterful innings, coming agonizingly close to a century with a brilliant 85 runs. KL Rahul, on the other hand, stayed unbeaten at 97, guiding the team to a stunning victory with a six - albeit missing his well-deserved century in a somewhat comical manner.

In this episode, we relive the thrilling moments, dissect the key turning points, and celebrate the heroics of KL Rahul and Virat Kohli. We delve into the incredible game awareness and composure displayed by Kohli - a classic manoeuvre when the team is in trouble, in a high-stakes World Cup match against Australia, in a challenging run chase with the team at a precarious position of 2/3. Now, that's a situation tailor-made for a King Kohli Classic, where he knows exactly what to do, and his pacing of the innings has always been spot on. It's what we like to call, Kohli's Gambit.
