Team India's poor records under the coaching of Gautam Gambhir
Sports Desk, New Delhi. Gautam Gambhir Head Coach: As much as Gautam Gambhir's record as an Indian batsman was excellent, it was equally expected that he would make great records in his name as the head coach of Team India, but ever since Gautam Gambhir became the head coach of Team India, India had to face such a shameful defeat, due to which the hard work of all the old coaches has gone in vain.
Gambhir became the head coach of Team India in July 2024 and since then India has seen many ups and downs in international cricket. Even though India has won the Champions Trophy 2025 and Asia Cup 2025 titles, there were some defeats too, which would be better to forget. Losing a home Test series for the first time in 12 years and getting a clean sweep for the first time in 25 years, this brought a big stigma on the face of Team India. In such a situation, let's take a look at the list of shameful records of India during the coaching of Gautam Gambhir.
Lost ODI series to New Zealand at home for the first time in 37 years
In fact, the Indian team, which lost the Test series 0-3 at home to New Zealand for the first time in 2024, has been embarrassed by the Kiwi team at home for the second consecutive time. In the third and decisive ODI match played in Indore, New Zealand defeated India by 41 runs and won the three-match series 1-0.
Virat Kohli scored his 54th ODI century, but he too could not save the team from defeat. In 2024, under the coaching of Gautam Gambhir, India had lost the Test series to New Zealand after 36 years and now in 2026, under the coaching of Gautam Gambhir, India has lost the Test series to New Zealand at home for the first time in 37 years.
The special thing is that there were many young players in the New Zealand team, out of which Christian Clarke, Josh Clarkson, Aditya Ashok and Jack Faulks made their debut in this series. New Zealand, which visited India for the first time in 1989, has won the bilateral series for the first time. With this, India has lost an ODI series at home for the first time since 2019.
With this defeat, the Indian team's unbeatable record in ODIs at the Holkar Stadium in Indore was broken. This is India's first defeat in eight matches played here. The team's defeat has raised questions on the policies of Indian coach Gautam Gambhir as well as captain Shubman Gill.
During Gambhir's tenure, apart from five Tests at home, the team has lost the ODI series at home to New Zealand for the first time. Shubman Gill is currently struggling with his form. Due to this he had to be dropped from the T-20 team also. Now his credibility as a captain has weakened due to losing the series at home.
