  • Summary

  • 2018-19 marked a historic moment for Indian cricket—their first-ever Test series victory on Australian soil. But, as triumphant as it was, the series had a significant caveat: Australia was missing their two most formidable batsmen, Steve Smith and David Warner, due to the infamous Sandpaper Gate scandal.

    In this episode of The Reverse Sweep Show, we rewind to that epic series and ask the big question: What if Smith and Warner had played? Would Australia have held their ground, or would India still have conquered the fortress Down Under? Join us as we explore the alternate reality of cricket's most talked-about what-if scenario, analyze the potential impact of the banned duo, and debate how the series might have unfolded with the full-strength Aussie lineup.

    Tune in for a deep dive into one of cricket’s biggest hypotheticals!
