The Board of Control for Cricket in India BCCI is reportedly not pleased with head coach Gautam Gambhir's comments in the press conference after the loss in the first Test against South Africa in Kolkata. Gambhir's position as head coach could be decided after the upcoming T20 World Cup 2026 in India and Sri Lanka.
India were completely outclassed by South Africa in the two-Test series. They lost the opener in Kolkata by 30 runs before suffering a 408-run defeat in Guwahati. The back-to-back losses handed the Men in Blue a 0-2 whitewash. Notably, it was the second whitewash in a home Test series under Gambhir's tenure.

Gambhir is expected to continue as head coach, as there are few replacements available. However, his future could depend on India's performance in the T20 World Cup.
