Welcome to Episode 124 (Part A) of Never on the Backfoot Podcast. India squandered the opportunity to pull off a historic Test series win in England as the hosts won the rescheduled encounter in spectacular fashion by seven wickets to pull level at 2-2. Destructive centuries from Jonny Bairstow and Joe Root helped England retain the Pataudi Trophy. India fell short at the final hurdle once again, short on the heels of a disappointing series loss in South Africa. We will be reflecting on the major talking points from this test.  The podcast is also available on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Spotify, Anchor, Overcast and a lot of other platforms and spread the word.
