After Gautam Gambhir became the head coach, the Indian team has won the Champions Trophy and Asia Cup in white ball cricket. But Team India is becoming one of the lagging teams in red ball cricket. Gambhir took over as head coach in July 2024, after which the Indian team has been able to register only four wins in 9 home Test matches. Gambhir is already being trolled on social media, but now people have started criticizing Gambhir from the front as well.

A video has surfaced on social media, in which a person is seen standing at a distance and saying good and bad to Gautam Gambhir. While giving the statistics of the Indian team, this person said that Gautam Gambhir should leave coaching.

In this video going viral, this fan said, “3-0 at home, 1-0 with Africa, leave coaching. Can’t win at home with South Africa, forget the 2027 World Cup.” The demand for removal of Gambhir from the post of coach has started gaining momentum.

Team India is continuously performing poorly

The Indian team is performing very poorly especially in Test cricket. Last year, when Gautam Gambhir was the head coach, New Zealand came to India and gave a 3-0 clean sweep to Team India in the Test series at home. Now South Africa has also defeated the Indian team 2-0 in the Test series at its home.

Indian batsmen were not able to chase the target of 124 runs in Kolkata Test. In the Guwahati Test, Team India had to face defeat by 408 runs. This is India’s biggest defeat by runs in the history of Test cricket. Due to this poor performance, the Indian team’s hopes of playing the final of WTC 2027 have suffered a setback.

Team India lost by 408 runs to South Africa in Guwahati. Along with this, Team India has also lost the series by 0-2, after which head coach Gautam Gambhir is the target of critics. This is the second time in the last 13 months that the Indian team has suffered a clean sweep in a Test series at home.

India has also suffered its biggest defeat by runs in Test cricket in Guwahati. After this shameful record, the demand for removal of Gautam Gambhir from the post of head coach has started becoming stronger. Even after Baraspara Maidan, slogans were raised for the removal of Gautam Gambhir. Amidst all this, former cricketer Ravichandran Ashwin has defended Gautam Gambhir.

Discussing this on his YouTube channel, Ravichandran Ashwin said, “We ask for responsibility. It is easy because we all know that there is a lot of money at stake in Indian cricket. A lot of people are always ready to take responsibility. But the truth is that the coach cannot take the bat on the field. He can only do his job, that is to advise the players.”

Gautam Gambhir I have no relatives…

Ravichandran Ashwin came in support of Gautam Gambhir and further said, “It is not easy to manage a team. Yes, he too must have been hurt, we should understand this. This is not a matter of supporting anyone, Gambhir is not my relative. I can also count 10 mistakes. Yes, mistakes happen, anyone can make them.

Ever since Gautam Gambhir became the coach, Team India has played 19 test matches in which it has won 7 times and India has lost 10 test matches, while 2 matches have been drawn.

Gautam Gambhir’s net worth

Mykhail, in its report citing Times of India, put Gautam Gambhir’s net worth at around Rs 265 crore (by 2024). Let us tell you that he has also been an MP from East Delhi (2019-2024). In 2019 he was honored with the Padmashree Award.

After the T20 World Cup 2024, Gautam Gambhir became the head coach of the Indian cricket team. After his coach, Team India has done well in white ball cricket, but the Indian team has been seen struggling in Test matches. After his coach, India has lost against Australia, New Zealand, while now Team India is trailing 1-2 in the series against England. Now Harbhajan Singh has given such a advice, due to which Gautam Gambhir may have to give up coaching.

During the talks with India Today, Harbhajan Singh said that it would not be wrong to consider giving separate coaches to India’s white ball and red ball team, because the teams are different in these formats. Bhajji believes that workloads can be reduced slightly from different coaches in different formats.

Harbhajan Singh said, “I think different coaches can be appointed, there is nothing wrong in this. You have different teams for different formats. If we can do so, this will be the right decision. It will reduce the workload for everyone including coaches.”

India’s legendary spinner believes that a coach needs time to prepare before the series, even if the match is being played in any format. Let us know that India has never implemented ‘Spilate Coaching’, but in the recent past, VVS Laxman has been seen taking charge of coaching. This statement of Harbhajan is giving such a hint that if it is implemented, Gambhir will have to withdraw from the post of coach from at least one format.

If we look at the coaching records of Gautam Gambhir so far, India has won one of the 2 bilateral ODI series so far and has won the title of ICC Champions Trophy. India has won all its T20 series so far in Gambhir’s coaching, but after Gambhir became the coach, India has only won a Test series against Bangladesh.
