258. England Draws First Blood: Reflections from the 1st Test Match Win at Hyderabad

Hi there! Welcome to Episode 258 of Never on the Backfoot Podcast. In this episode, we discuss the 1st test match featuring India and England. The star-studded India batting unit crumbled under pressure as debutant Tom Hartley spun his web to help England register a 28-run win in Hyderabad. It was a poor batting performance on Day 4 as they were bundled out for 202. The top and middle order failed on the big occasion as the tail had to put up a fight as Hartley was too good for them in the end. In this episode, we reflect and deep dive into all the major player performances, observations, takeaways, analysis and talking points from an Indian and England perspective and look ahead to the next test match. On the podcast today for this discussion, we have Lakshit Singhal, the man behind Cricket Field Chronicles. The Podcast is also available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify for Podcasters, Google Podcasts, Spotify, and many other platforms and spread the word.
