In this episode of Just Sports, Rahul Puri and Samar Khan discuss German player Mesut Ozil’s racism claims, the upcoming test series in England, India’s middle and top order, and the EPL transfer window. Rahul and Samar disagree slightly on whether there was weight behind Ozil’s claims of racism and disrespect. While both feel that the politics of Europe had a role to play here, Samar feels that Ozil was being somewhat of a “crybaby”, while Rahul thinks there were problems in the German squad as a whole, with Ozil being used as a “scapegoat”. They then give a recap of the transfer window, which is experiencing a bit of a lull currently, going into detail about the Eden Hazard deal. Next is a preview of the ongoing test series, Bhuvneshwar Kumar’s injuries and what it means for India’s bowling, Virat Kohli as an X factor, and the batting order. For more, listen in!
