India Coach Gautam Gambhir Faces Criticism Amid Mixed Results and T20 World Cup Challenges

Gautam Gambhir's tenure as India's head coach has seen mixed outcomes, with early white-ball successes in the 2025 Champions Trophy and Asia Cup followed by recent setbacks. India faced home Test series defeats against New Zealand and South Africa and a heavy loss to South Africa in the ongoing T20 World Cup, jeopardizing their semifinal chances. Former England pacer Steve Harmison criticized Gambhir's coaching style and issued an ultimatum amid concerns over India's inconsistent performances.
