India's embarrassing 0-2 Test series loss to South Africa has put head coach Gautam Gambhir under intense pressure, but legendary cricketer Sunil Gavaskar has come to his defense. The second Test at Barsapara Stadium ended with a massive 408-run loss to the Proteas, marking India's second home test series whitewash in just 13 months.
Last year, they have faced a 0-3 loss at the hands of New Zealand at home. Now, this loss angered fans and experts, with some spectators even chanting against Gambhir at the stadium, leading to formal actions from the BCCI.
