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.
