In Between Overs - A Cricket Fan's Podcast

India won Asian Games gold in Japan. West Indies posted their 
highest ever ODI total of 405 and India chased it down. Then 
Shai Hope scored 162 not out to chase 352 in the decider. 
And in Vancouver, the Canada Super60 had bowlers starting 
their run ups on the boundary rope.

Taran and Ishaan break down one of the wildest weeks of 
cricket this year.

This week: is ODI cricket genuinely back, or were these 
three games too one sided for the bowlers? Plus a fix for 
the format: five match ODI series in a World Cup year.

What India learned from the West Indies series and whether 
Jaiswal misses another ODI World Cup.

The Asian Games final unpacked, from Tilak Varma's late 
charge to Hasan Nawaz's 96 off 51 balls.

Canada Super60: a football stadium, a hybrid pitch, a $5,000 
one handed catch prize, and Kieron Pollard's Toronto Sixers 
lifting the title. Is it real growth for cricket in Canada 
or entertainment dressed as cricket?

Plus predictions for India vs West Indies T20Is and 
South Africa vs Australia Tests.

India sent their full strength team to the Asian Games. 
Pakistan sent players with something to prove and no 
baggage from previous India Pakistan encounters. 
India have everything to lose. Pakistan have everything to gain.

Taran and Ishaan preview the Asian Games 2026 gold medal 
final before it happens.

This bonus episode covers:

Why India sending their A team writes a check 
they have to cash.

Pakistan's new generation — CPL form, no fear, 
and a captain in Farhan who has a strong record against India.

India's batting heavy lineup — three openers, 
four specialist bowlers, and why that approach 
makes sense on Japanese pitches.

The opener question — do Sooryavanshi, Abhishek 
and Samson all play in the final?

This is a short bonus episode recorded before 
the final. Our full weekly episode drops this Sunday 
with the result and reaction included.

Bumrah dismissed Gurbaz with the second ball of his comeback. 
Abhishek Sharma scored a 30-ball hundred after nine ducks 
in 2026. And Razaullah Mashwani smashed 9 sixes on debut 
at Edgbaston and got a hero's welcome at the airport. 
Taran and Ishaan break down the biggest stories 
from the last few weeks of world cricket.

This week:

Did the Afghanistan series actually fix India's T20I problems 
or did they just beat another weak team? With Bumrah back 
the attack looks different — but the opener dilemma and 
the conditions question remain unanswered heading into 
the Asian Games.

Ollie Robinson 21 wickets at 8.76 as England sweep Pakistan 
3-0 — the first Test series in England without a century 
since 1888. Is the post-Bazball era already working?

Razaullah Mashwani — 21 years old, 8 first-class games, 
9 sixes on debut at Edgbaston. Equalled Ben Stokes' own 
record and came home to a hero's welcome. Pakistan found 
a new star in a series they lost 3-0.

Asian Games start September 22. Can anyone beat India?

Sonal Dinusha scored 419 runs at 139.66 in the India vs 
Sri Lanka series. Devdutt Padikkal scored 284 across 
two centuries. Who had the better series? India won 1-0 
but the Colombo draw raised real questions about their 
ability to bowl sides out without Bumrah.

Taran and Ishaan debate Padikkal vs Dinusha and break 
down six things we learned from the series.

This week:

Padikkal or Dinusha — who had the better series? 
Numbers vs impact. Both sides argued properly with a verdict.

Six takeaways from India vs Sri Lanka — Padikkal is 
the new number 3, Suthar is India's next great spinner, 
Jurel is more than a keeper, and India cannot bowl 
sides out without Bumrah.

Bangladesh 64 and 95 in Mackay in two days — from 
their greatest ever win to their most humiliating 
defeat in one week. Mitchell Starc passes Dale Steyn's 
439 Test wickets in the process.

England vs Pakistan 2nd Test at Lord's starts today.

One week ago Bangladesh were bowled out for 54 in a 
warm-up game. Seven days later they beat Australia 
by 9 wickets in Darwin. Tamim Iqbal called it the 
greatest win in Bangladesh cricket history.

And while that was happening, Devdutt Padikkal scored 
167 and Manav Suthar took a ten-for as India beat 
Sri Lanka by 165 runs in Galle.

Taran and Ishaan break down the greatest week of 
Test cricket in years.

This week:

Which is the bigger story — Bangladesh beating 
Australia in Darwin or India winning in Galle?

Manav Suthar ten-for in his third Test. Is he 
India's most important bowler right now?

Devdutt Padikkal 167 coming in at 116/4. 
The innings that won India the Galle Test.

Can Bangladesh win the series in Mackay? 
Can India sweep in Colombo?

England vs Pakistan live at Headingley — 
Robinson and Tongue shared all 10 wickets on day one.

Bumrah took an impact blow to his knee in Cardiff, 
got an injection, failed his fitness test, and India 
head into Galle without him. Five key players are 
unavailable before a ball has been bowled. Can they 
win the Sri Lanka Test series anyway?

Taran and Ishaan preview the series and break down 
England's new era under Fleming and Root.

This week:

Bumrah ruled out of a third straight series. Is his 
absence now a genuine crisis for Indian cricket?

Can India's spin attack of Kuldeep, Jadeja and 
Manav Suthar win the series in Galle without him?

Sarfaraz Khan returns after nearly two years out 
of Test cricket. First-class average of 64.73 
and he barely gets a game. Why?

Sai Sudharsan ruled out with a toe stress fracture. 
The India injury list before this series is alarming.

Stephen Fleming confirmed as England Test coach, 
Joe Root returns as captain. Is the post-Bazball 
era already looking more stable?

WTC implications — India cannot afford to drop 
points in Sri Lanka.

India swept Zimbabwe 3-0 and Sooryavanshi became the youngest 
player ever to score a T20I fifty in men's international cricket. 
But did India actually fix anything — or did they just beat a 
team ranked 13th in the world?

Taran and Ishaan debate it properly and give their verdicts.

This week:

The big debate — did Zimbabwe fix India's T20I problems 
or just paper over the cracks before the Asian Games?

Sooryavanshi two fifties, Player of the Series, another 
world record. But he scores in the powerplay and gets out. 
Is that a problem for India's batting depth?

Abhishek Sharma has 9 ducks in T20Is in 2026 — joint most 
in a single calendar year in history. Is he done?

Kishan and Sooryavanshi as an opening pair — India's best 
T20I combination right now?

Harry Brook snubbed for England Test captain despite Stokes' 
endorsement. Joe Root returns as interim. The right call?

Ashes 2027 schedule announced — starts at Headingley.

England beat India 2-1 in the ODI series — their first series 
win against India since 2018. Rohit hit 138 and Kohli made 74 
at Lord's in a brilliant but ultimately losing cause. Bumrah 
was missing and India fell 27 runs short of 388.

Taran and Ishaan break down India's entire summer in England.

This week:

The big debate — what actually cost India the ODI series? 
Batting or bowling? Both sides argued properly with a verdict.

The real answer — it was the middle order all along. 
Not the top two, not the bowling attack.

Rohit 138 and Kohli 74 at Lord's. Was that their farewell 
to English cricket together?

Bumrah's knee injury ruled him out of the decider. 
India lost by 27. Would they have won with him?

Zimbabwe T20I series starts July 23. What does India need 
from a new-look squad under VVS Laxman?

Will Sooryavanshi finally get a proper run? And is Sanju 
Samson done in T20Is or just being managed?

India won 16 consecutive T20I series. Then lost 6 games in a row 
to Ireland and England. And McCullum got sacked the same day 
England beat them 4-0. Taran and Ishaan break it all down.

This week:

India's T20I crisis — 6 straight losses, BCCI review called 
and questions over Gambhir's coaching. Is this a personnel 
problem or a conditions problem?

Sooryavanshi breaks Sachin's record at 15 years and 99 days 
but the debut reality check — why did Tilak Varma hand him 
his cap instead of a legend?

Sanju Samson dropped, recalled and dropped again. What is 
India's actual selection logic?

McCullum sacked as England Test coach hours after winning 
a 4-0 T20I series. Who replaces him — Langer, Trott 
or Flintoff? And is the Bazball era over?

India vs England ODIs start July 14. Kohli and Rohit are 
back. Does India finally win something on this tour?
