India lost the three-match ODI series in spite of Kohli’s masterful century in the third ODI. Where did it go wrong for India? Was it just that an inexperienced New Zealand side were better over the three games or do India have some questions to be answered?

The discussion extends to Kuldeep Yadav’s place in the format, and whether Varun Chakravarthy might dislodge him. The crew discuss the Rohit Sharma conundrum and India’s spin-allrounder options.

Also discussed is Harshit Rana’s sparkling form and how he’s proving his doubters wrong.
