Indian team head coach gautam gambhir is currently under a lot of pressure. The defeat in the first Test match against england has put more pressure on gautam gambhir than any other player in the indian team. Because after gautam gambhir was appointed as the head coach, he was given more freedom. From deciding who the captain of the team is according to his wishes to deciding the players of the team, he has been given all the power. It is also said that rohit sharma and virat kohli have retired from Test matches due to his indirect pressure. In this situation, the responsibility of leading the indian Test team was greater for him. gautam Gambhir's role in appointing Shubman Gill as the new captain and making the indian team play in the england Test series was very big. If so, he himself should be responsible for the defeat. The worst thing about this is that the indian team has won only one of the last nine Test matches.
After gautam gambhir took over as coach, they have won only three of the 11 Test matches they have played. If we exclude the two wins against Bangladesh, then they have won only one of the nine matches. These defeats have come against leading teams New Zealand, Australia, and England. The indian team has only got one consolation win against the Australian team. This is considered the worst situation in the history of indian Tests. Before this, the indian team had lost seven Test matches in a row between 1967 and 1968. But the indian team at that time did not have much cricket experience. It is noteworthy that the facilities that are available now were not there then. Also, all the cricketers of that time played cricket for their livelihood by doing other jobs. But today the situation is not like that. indian cricket is considered the leading cricket board in the world. indian players are the highest-paid players in the world.
 
Whatever new facility or technology comes into cricket, it is immediately put into practice in India. Many of the players who are not in the indian team and are substitutes and only play in the Ranji Trophy are very talented. It is in such a situation that the indian team has won only one of the 9 Test matches it has played. This is what has put pressure on gautam Gambhir. If the indian team loses the england Test series, it will definitely be very difficult for gautam gambhir to escape from his position.
