In this candid episode, the host, Deepanjan, along with Naman and Swapneel delve into the emotional aftermath of the #CWC23Final, where Team India faced a crushing defeat on a two-paced pitch, throwing off expectations for a high-octane clash.

From dissecting the impact of the toss to analyzing crucial moments like Shami opening the bowling over Siraj, no DRS for Steve, and the Umpire's call for Marnus, we explore the highs, lows, and lingering questions surrounding India's performance in the final.

The standout performance of Travis Head and the million-dollar question - how does Team India recover from this? The emotional and strategic aspects of India's journey unfold in this cathartic episode. We feel for Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, the highest scorers this World Cup, who gave their all but left the tournament empty-handed.

Adding to the narrative, we discuss the disappointing ambiance in Ahmedabad's Narendra Modi Stadium, with a deafening silence in the 130,000-seater arena. Team India failed to get any support from the home crowd when they needed their "12th men" the most.
