Suresh Raina came to the defence of his former teammate, Gautam Gambhir, who has been facing tremendous scrutiny after India's wretched performances in the ongoing Test series against South Africa.
The former India cricketer noted that Gambhir has worked very hard and helped the Men in Blue triumph in important tournaments like the Champions Trophy and the Asia Cup earlier this year. Raina said that the players will have to work hard and fulfil their responsibilities on the field as the coach can only give them advice and support.
Under Gambhir's tenure as head coach, India were whitewashed in a three-match Test series at home against New Zealand last year. Now, they are staring at their first-ever Test series defeat at home to South Africa in 25 years.
