India's Test Cricket Struggles Under Gambhir: A Series of Defeats

India's Test cricket team has faced significant challenges under head coach Gautam Gambhir, culminating in a 0-2 series loss to South Africa. With a coaching record of 7 wins, 10 defeats, and 2 draws, concerns over performance persist. A detailed review of key losses reveals ongoing difficulties.

India's test cricket team continues to struggle under the leadership of head coach Gautam Gambhir, as recent performances culminated in a significant series loss to South Africa. A demoralizing 0-2 defeat at Guwahati marks India's third Test series loss in 16 months.

In this turbulent period, India succumbed 0-3 to New Zealand at home and 1-3 to Australia away. Coach Gambhir's win record now stands at 7 victories, 10 defeats, and 2 draws with a mere 36.82% win percentage, positioning him just ahead of Duncan Fletcher.

An analysis of these crucial defeats, including losses at Bengaluru, Pune, and Adelaide, underscore persistent vulnerabilities against fast-paced and spin bowling attacks, raising significant questions about the team's strategy and execution on home ground and abroad.
