Former Indian cricketer Robin Uthappa has come out in support of Gautam Gambhir after India's heavy 0-2 Test series loss to South Africa. He has pointed out that too much blame is being placed on head coach Gautam Gambhir while players are getting a free pass.
Uthappa, who has played with Gautam Gambhir both for India and Kolkata Knight Riders KKR in the IPL, said that it is easier to blame the coach than to look at the real problems in India's Test team. India has been struggling in tests since Gambhir took over as the head coach in the middle of 2024.
