Gautam Gambhir became the head coach of Team India in July 2024. At that time it seemed that he would leave the same mark in his coaching career as he had in his cricket career. But exactly the opposite happened. Under the coaching of Gautam Gambhir, India had to face such defeats which Team India had tasted decades ago. There were some defeats which Team India had never seen in its cricket history.
