The pressure on Gautam Gambhir has reached its peak after India suffered a humiliating 2-0 whitewash against South Africa at home. The Indian cricket team suffered a record 408-run defeat in the second and final Test at the Barsapara Stadium in Guwahati.
With this massive victory, South Africa becomes the only team to whitewash India in India in Tests twice. It was their first Test series clean sweep in India after 25 years. On the other hand, it was India's biggest defeat at home in terms of runs.

He becomes the first coach to be whitewashed twice in Tests.
