Join Gambhir’s test record critique in his check record as a legend
Gambhir’s test record as head coach, India, suffered a 0–2 whitewash against South Africa in India, 0–3 against New Zealand, 3–1 in Australia and a 3–1 series defeat in Australia. India’s 2-0 home win over the West Indies gave South Africa their second Test series win in India in just 25 years, significantly overrunning fan patience. Former India Stars Ravi Shastri, Anil Kumble and Kris Srikkanth have added to the pressure on Gambhir, openly questioning India’s mixed selection and tactical calls.
One of the biggest flashpoints was Gambhir’s strategy of seeking out spin-friendly pitches at home, a move critics have repeatedly backed off by collapsing on the turning lanes. Burdening Xi with his multiple entanglements and dropping red-ball players set up in favor of certain format specialists has also led to debate about the team’s direction. Guwahati’s collapse, where India were bowled out for 67 after a solid start in the first innings, was earlier seen as a sign of deeper structural problems rather than a bad day in the middle.
