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.

This defeat also raised questions on Gambhir’s coaching, he sent Washington Sundar to bat at number three in one test and in the next match, sent him down and played Sai Sudarshan in this position.

The strategy of keeping both the wicket keepers in the playing 11 in the form of Dhruv Jurel and Rishabh Pant was also a flop.

Under the captaincy of Shubman Gill, India ended the 5-match Test series 2-2 on the England tour, after which it defeated West Indies 2-0 at home.

• Series won- 2
• Lost series- 3
• Series Draw- 1

Team India has lost 3 out of 6 test series played under the coaching of Gautam Gambhir. After losing 0-3 at home to New Zealand in 2024, Team India lost the Border Gavaskar Trophy (2024-2025) series 1-3 against Australia. Now South Africa defeated Team India in India. This is the second time under Gambhir’s coaching that Team India has got a clean sweep in the Test series at home.

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.”

Gautam Gambhir would like to avoid hat-trick of hat-tricks

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.

India may have won the Oval Test by 6 runs and got the series 2-2 equal against England, but Gautam Gambhir’s record is still not improved. It is being talked about the coaching record of Gautam Gambhir, which has been bad in Test cricket till now. Gambhir’s under India’s white ball teams have been excellent, but the figures in the red-ball format are very bad. Actually, ever since Gautam Gambhir became the head coach, India has not won any Test series against SENA countries.

Gautam Gambhir’s record ‘zero percent’

Gautam Gambhir has completed one year of the head coach of the Indian cricket team. While his coach, Team India has played a total of 4 Test series so far, out of which he has won only 2-0 win over Bangladesh. But India has not won any Test series so far against SENA countries (South Africa, England, New Zealand and Australia).

This defeat started with New Zealand’s tour of India. In all three matches of the series, Team India suffered a crushing defeat. This was the first time in the last 12 years when India lost in a domestic Test series. At the same time, after the year 2000, the Indian Test team had a clean sweep for the first time in the domestic series.

After that the number of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy came, in which Team India went to Australia and lost 1-3. This was the first time since 2017 when the Kangaroos defeated India in the Test series. Now whether India has drawn series 2-2 against England, it has not had a good impact on Gautam Gambhir’s coaching records. His record of winning India’s Test series against the under SENA countries is still ‘zero percent’.
