India Faces Setbacks Under Gautam Gambhir with New Zealand ODI and Test Series Losses

Gautam Gambhir's tenure as India's head coach since July 2024 has seen mixed results. While India secured major trophies, the team faced significant setbacks, including a home Test series loss to New Zealand—the first since 1988—and a 1-2 ODI series defeat, marking New Zealand's first ODI series win in India. These outcomes have raised questions about Gambhir's impact, especially with a focus now shifting to the upcoming T20 World Cup and long-term ODI preparations for 2027.
