Gautam Gambhir's position as India's all-format head coach is already under the scanner, and now former spinner Harbhajan Singh has added fuel to the fire. India's recent Test record under Gambhir has been overwhelming, and now calls have grown for the coach's sacking as the red-ball coach.
The crumbling Test fortress: Gambhir's biggest failureIn the last two years, India has suffered two painful home whitewashes under Gambhir's leadership. First came the shocking 0-3 defeat against New Zealand in 2024, followed by another blow when South Africa crushed India 0-2 at home last year.
The New Zealand whitewash was especially damaging as it knocked India out of contention for the ICC World Test Championship 2025 final. Now, the recent Test whitewash against South Africa has only deepened the crisis.
