After the 2024 T20 World Cup, Gautam Gambhir, who took over the responsibility of the head coach of the Indian cricket team, has seen a lot of ups and downs in his short tenure. On the one hand, while in ODI and T20 formats, the Indian team has been successful in maintaining the number-1 position in their coaching, while their record in Test cricket has not been as great. India has played 15 Test matches so far in Gambhir’s coaching, but they have lost more than victory.
Gautam Gambhir has passed hard
Gambhir’s record in Test cricket has not been in line with his expectations. India played 15 Test matches during his tenure, out of which 2 against Bangladesh, 1 against Australia and 2 against England. On the other hand, against New Zealand, Team India lost the 3-match Test series 3–0. At the same time, he also lost 3 Test matches on Australia tour. That is, Team India has lost 8 Tests in Gambhir’s coaching. At the same time, 2 matches are drawn. The percentage of Team India’s Test win is only 33.33%.
However, on the tour of England, Gautam Gambhir did a great job with a young Team India. Under the captaincy of Shubman Gill, Team India managed to draw this series 2-2. In this series, India lagged behind 1-2, but Gambhir kept the team and saw a strong comeback from the players. Despite the weak performance in Test cricket, Gambhir’s coaching also has some positive aspects. Winning 2 Tests against England states that the team has a lot of capacity. In such a situation, Gambhir’s visible matches will be on improving this record.
When is Team India’s Algi Test Series?
After England, the Indian cricket team will now play a Test series against the West Indies at their home in October 2025. 2 Test matches will be played between the two teams, which will start from October 2. The first Test match will be held from 2 to 6 October 2025 at Narendra Modi Cricket Stadium in Ahmedabad. At the same time, the second Test will be held from October 10 at Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi.
