India National Cricket Team head coach Gautam Gambhir faced some of the toughest questions of his career on Wednesday November 26 after the hosts were whitewashed by South Africa in a two-match Test series at home.
South Africa clean-swept the series 2-0 with a massive 408-run win over India in the second and final Test in Guwahati after 25 years. Following the embarrassing whitewash by the Proteas side, Gambhir said that the Indian cricket team would not give excuses for the defeat because the responsibility belongs to everyone, including himself.
