blames the team for the loss 
Gautam Gambhir has always been clear in answering questions. But now, problems are mounting for them.

BCCI exempts Gambhir
When Gautam Gambhir became the new head coach in 2024, the BCCI allowed him to choose his support staff. He was joined by Abhishek Nair, Ryan ten Doschet and Morne Morkel. Out of these, Abhishek and Ryan have left the team. Some board members believe that Gambhir failed to take full advantage of this exemption.

Now it's time to tour Sri Lanka 
Gautam Gambhir has played seven Test series since he became coach, winning against Bangladesh, West Indies and Afghanistan. These three teams are not even in the top seven Test rankings. During this period, the Indian team has lost to New Zealand, Australia and South Africa, while the series with England ended in a draw. It is being said that the unwavering faith of the members of Team India in Gautam Gambhir is declining. India's next series is against Sri Lanka, starting August 15. The outcome of this series could determine Gambhir's coaching future.
