It's been a fun week in the world of cricket! In this episode, Ashwin and DJ are in conversation while Varun is traveling back to Singapore.

A lot happened this week such as the world's number one T20 team Pakistan has been thrashed 3-0 by a second-string Sri Lanka team, Mitchel Marsh has broken his arm by hitting a dressing room wall and more.

Moving ahead Ashwin and DJ they start with the India vs South Africa test series where India was leading 1-0 after winning the first test at Vishakhapatnam, some thoughts on the Pune pitch where India lost the last test match that they played there against Australia, Pune creating a pitch worthy of a test match with a bouncy track instead of a spinning wicket and how that leads to some interesting changes for the team.

They also talk through the change to the Indian cricket team: Vihari got dropped and Umesh Yadav a bowler, came in instead of him and of course no surprise in the decision but extremely disappointed for Hanuma Vihari.

With India making some changes how South Africa also dropped a spinner and played a fast bowler by seeing that pace is the way to go!

Some thoughts on Mayank Agarwal and what a player he's turning out to be for India! He stepped up at the right time and we are hoping that he stands out for the team, Rohit Sharma's dismissal in the test match and how it's okay to fail sometimes, Is Rohit being overshadowed by Kohli and a lot more!
