Watch: 'Coaching Chhod Do' - Fan taunts Gautam Gambhir after India’s Test whitewash vs South Africa

India’s Test whitewash against South Africa on home soil has left fans shocked and disappointed. The team suffered a heartbreaking defeat at Eden Gardens and then a crushing 408-run loss in Guwahati. The 2-0 series defeat has turned into one of India’s toughest red-ball setbacks in recent years, leading to heavy criticism of head coach Gautam Gambhir from both fans and experts.

The anger among supporters grew even stronger when a video from JSCA Stadium went viral, showing a fan shouting at Gambhir during India’s practice session. The clip spread quickly across social media, adding more pressure on the team and raising questions about Gambhir’s future as head coach.

Not long ago, beating India in a home Test was nearly impossible for most teams. But things have changed, with India losing three home Test series in a short period. After being whitewashed by New Zealand last year, the nightmare repeated as South Africa defeated India 2-0, triggering frustration and disappointment among cricket lovers.
