India, Nov. 27 -- In Gautam Gambhir's tenure as Test Coach for the Indian Men's National Cricket Team, he has certainly left a lot to be desired. After guiding the team to their first home loss in 12 years against New Zealand in 2024, he suffered a second consecutive series defeat at home against SENA nations with a 2-0 hammering at the hands of South Africa.

A disappointing series in Australia for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy qas also sandwiched between these results, and has not given fans and pundits too much confidence regarding Gambhir's ability to coach and lead a Test Team. While Gambhir does have an excellent record in white ball cricket, the same has not translated for him into the longest format of the game.

An excellent captain...
