India vs Australia 5 match T20 series starts from Wednesday. The first match will be played in Canberra. Gautam Gambhir will be more worried than the Indian players, who as coach would like to avoid a hat-trick of series defeats against Australia. During his tenure as coach, India won the Champions Trophy and Asia Cup titles but here it is different.
Gautam Gambhir’s first Test series against Australia after being appointed the head coach of the Indian cricket team was BGT (Border Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25). India took the lead by winning the first match by 295 runs, but Australia won 3 out of the next 4 matches and won the series 3-1. One match ended in a draw.
While Gautam Gambhir was the coach, India won many memorable series and trophies, but Gambhir has not yet forgotten the home series defeat against New Zealand, nor does he want to forget it. Earlier this month he said, “I don’t think I’ll ever forget that series, and I shouldn’t. I remind the players too, sometimes it’s important to remember the past, so you don’t take anything for granted. Everyone thought we would beat New Zealand easily, but that’s the reality of the game. For me, it’s important that the dressing room never forgets what happened against New Zealand.” Forgot. This experience inspires us not to spare even an inch to the opposing team.”

After the Border Gavaskar Trophy, India played the second series against Australia in ODI format, which was part of this tour. India lost in this too, Australia won the series 2-1. Now it is the turn of T20, Gambhir would not want India to lose 3 consecutive series to Australia while being his coach.
