It has been a challenging 16 months as India suffered their third Test series defeat under head coach Gautam Gambhir after South Africa secured a 2-0 series victory with a win in Guwahati on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

During this period, India were defeated 3-0 at home by New Zealand, lost 3-1 in Australia, and have now been beaten by the Proteas. Under Gambhir, India\u2019s Test record currently stands at 7 wins, 10 losses, and 2 draws in 19 matches, resulting in a win percentage of just 36.82.<\/p>\n

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), though, has no plans to replace Gautam Gambhir from the position of head coach of the Indian men\u2019s cricket team.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe BCCI will not rush in taking any decision, the team is in a transition phase. As far as coach Gautam Gambhir is concerned, we will not take any decision on him as the World Cup is around the corner and his contract is till the 2027 World Cup. The BCCI will speak to selectors and team management going ahead but there won\u2019t be any knee jerk action,” a BCCI official was quoted as saying to The Indian Express.<\/p>\n

After the loss, Gautam Gambhir clarified that it was up to the BCCI to decide his future.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is up to the BCCI to decide. I\u2019ve said it in my first press conference when I took over as the head coach. Indian cricket is important, I\u2019m not important. And I sit here and say exactly the same thing,” Gambhir was quoted as saying at the post-match press conference.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd yes, people can keep forgetting about it. I\u2019m the same guy who got results in England as well, with a young team. And I\u2019m sure you guys will forget very soon, because a lot of people keep talking about New Zealand (home series whitewash last year). And I\u2019m the same guy who won the Champions Trophy, and Asia Cup as well,” Gambhir added.<\/p>\n
