Experts Defend Gautam Gambhir Amid Mixed Results in Indian Cricket Coaching Tenure
Gautam Gambhir, India's head cricket coach, has faced criticism for the team's inconsistent Test performances despite successes in white-ball formats, including winning the 2025 Champions Trophy and 2026 T20 World Cup. Former players and experts like Harbhajan Singh, Gary Kirsten, and Amit Mishra have defended Gambhir, emphasizing the need for players to take responsibility and allowing time for the coach to establish his methods, especially with new players in the Test squad. Concerns remain over India's Test struggles and upcoming challenges in the ODI World Cup.
