How has Gautam Gambhir’s tenure been received so far?

Gautam Gambhir’s term as India's head coach began with high expectations following the team's T20 World Cup win and his previous success mentoring the Kolkata Knight Riders in the IPL. However, his tenure has been met with mixed results.

Under his guidance, India experienced their first ODI series loss to Sri Lanka in 27 years and saw an end to their 36-year unbeaten Test record at home against New Zealand with the Bengaluru defeat.

Now, the 2-0 Test series loss to New Zealand marks a significant setback, sparking fan frustration and criticism of the 'Gambhir era' in Indian cricket.
