The long-awaited match of 5 Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 has come to a dramatic conclusion. Apart from a solitary win in Perth, the series has been a nightmare for the Indian cricket team in terms of results. For many Indian cricket fans, the team’s inability to deliver under pressure and make decisive calls at critical moments has become a major talking point.
A major part of the blame, according to these fans, has been directed at the Indian coach, Gautam Gambhirwith questions about his team management strategies and decision-making during key moments in the series.
For Gambhir, it has been a saga of failures and upsets ever since he joined the national team as coach. The former Indian batsman had in the past lost the ODI series against Sri Lanka at home, the first for the Indian team in 27 years. The disappointment continued as he led the team to a humiliating series sweep new zealand on the domestic floor. Now, as the team went on to be dominated by the Aussies in the series, Gambhir has come to the center of the fans’ fury.
The Indian head coach was reportedly disappointed with the team’s performances after their loss in Melbourne. An Indian Express The report suggested that Gambhir gave the players an ultimatum to follow the game plan or else they will not be included in the team in future. It was also reported that the Indian coach wanted Cheteshwar Pujara for the series, but his wishes were turned down by the Indian selectors.
Batting has been a constant problem for the Indian team throughout the series. This continued in the last test match in Sydney. The Indian team was restricted to 185 runs in the first innings and could only muster 157 runs in the second innings to give the home team a target of 162 runs which the Australian batsmen managed to achieve comfortably for the loss of 4 wickets. Scott Boland dominated the Indian batsmen as he took 10 wickets in Sydney to become the player of the match.
Seasoned Indian batters, especially relishes Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma i KL Rahul he had a quiet series with the bat, further questioning Gambhir’s abilities as a coach. While Rahul managed to score 276 runs in the series, Virat could only score 190 runs at a batting average of 23.75. The stats are more worrying for the Indian skipper with only 31 runs in 4 test matches he played.

India won a world cup last year, the squad is almost the same, only Rahul Dravid retired, we have a new coach Gautam Gambhir, and suddenly we started losing at home to New Zealand and now losing to Australia.
Why no one is talking about Gambhir’s failure. I hope there is aβ¦

Gambhir doesn’t know enough to be the head coach of a top Test cricket team.
When he said “we’ll look at the pitch and select the XI” I would have expected you to select 4 frontline players.
Terrible management. Terrible plans I hope he accepts his faults and resigns.

Rohit Sharma and Ravindra Jadeja should be forced out
Shubman Gill should be dropped
Virat Kohli should be given one last chanceGautam Gambhir should be sacked with immediate effect, he has been as big a burden as Rohit Sharma, he has never seen the worst coaching performance.

India needed 3 wins from 8 Tests to qualify for the WTC but we lost 6 from 8. Despite this, the commentators only praise Bumrah while the team shows no remorse for their performance.
Gautam Gambhir, as a coach, contributed little, focusing more on press conferences toβ¦

Someone tell Gautam Gambhir to stop portraying himself as a martyr. Not a performer of epic proportions as a coach. Stop bullshitting during comps and pay attention to tactical mistakes as a coach and those crappy team selections

The real culprit behind India’s defeat is coach Gautam Gambhir.
Whose idealistic and aggressive attitude pushed the winning Indian cricket team towards defeat.

2- We lost the Test series at home with New Zealand#AUSWIN #INDvAUS #GautamGambhirβ sudhir kumar (@itsofficialsk) January 5, 2025
