Episode Summary: Is this the moment Sanju Samson enters Indian cricket folklore? In a high-stakes T20 World Cup Quarter-Final at the iconic Eden Gardens, India’s back was against the wall chasing 196. Hosts Taran and Ishaan break down how Sanju Samson delivered the "innings of a lifetime" to secure India’s spot in the Semi-Finals.

In this episode, we discuss:

• Tactical Gambles: Did the West Indies miss a trick with Roston Chase opening, and was Shai Hope's strike rate "borderline criminal"?
• The Cheat Code: How Jasprit Bumrah’s clinical wickets and Arshdeep Singh’s 19th-over redemption kept the target chaseable.
• Abhishek Sharma Concerns: We debate the "fearless" approach of India’s young opener and if self-doubt is creeping in.
