Gautam Gambhir’s Rollercoaster Ride as India Coach

Gautam Gambhir’s stint as head coach of the Indian cricket team has been nothing short of a dramatic journey marked by early setbacks, intense scrutiny, and a glorious turnaround on the big stage.Taking charge with high expectations, Gambhir faced a stormy start. India stumbled in the ODI series against Sri Lanka and then suffered a crushing 0-3 whitewash in the Test series at home against New Zealand.

The Border-Gavaskar Trophy, a symbol of India’s dominance over Australia for nearly a decade, slipped away after a 1-3 series loss. The defeat was painful, but what stirred even more controversy was the off-field drama. Dressing room conversations and strategic discussions began surfacing in the media, sparking a nationwide debate about the team's unity and raising concerns about breaches of trust within the camp.

However, Gambhir and Team India turned the narrative around spectacularly. The turning point came at the ICC Champions Trophy, where India found its rhythm and delivered a flawless campaign. From start to finish, the Men in Blue remained unbeaten, culminating in a clinical win over New Zealand in the final. The title marked India’s second ICC trophy in just nine months and gave Gambhir the validation he needed.
