Today is not just another loss; it is the funeral of indian cricket’s pride. gautam gambhir, the self-proclaimed warrior who once wore the india cap with swagger, has now dragged that same sacred jersey through the mud so deep that even 92 years of history is stained forever. 

Back-to-back home whitewashes, records of shame tumbling like dominoes, superstars reduced to walking wickets; this is not coaching, this is a hostage situation. And the hostage is our beautiful team. Here’s the unforgiving autopsy of a man who has failed at literally everything he has ever touched, culminating in the most humiliating phase indian cricket has ever endured.

Failed Test Cricketer

206 matches as player, yet only 41 Tests, average 31, never nailed down a spot despite endless chances. A walking proof that aggression without consistency is just noise. He batted like a street fighter who forgot cricket is a skill, not a shouting contest.

Failed Politician

Joined bjp on quota, won east Delhi in 2019 because of Modi wave, not merit. Spent five years missing parliament sessions, giving zero speeches of substance, and hiding behind “I don’t do politics for cameras.” Translation: couldn’t even manage basic attendance while drawing taxpayer salary.

Failed MP

Among the worst attendance records in Lok Sabha. Constituency forgot his face. When people needed flood relief or oxygen during Covid, gautam gambhir was busy posting angry tweets instead of showing up. Classic case of “janta maaf nahi karegi” until janta realised he never cared about janta.

Failed Mentor in IPL

Took over lucknow Super Giants with chest-thumping promises. Result? One playoff appearance and then straight regression. Players openly frustrated, owner publicly distancing himself. Even KL rahul looked happier after escaping Gambhir’s “intensity.”

Failed Head Coach – The Mother of All Failures

18 months, two home whitewashes in two consecutive calendar years – something not even england in 1930s managed against us. From 12-year unbeaten home record to getting 3-0’d by new zealand and south africa like we’re some associate nation. This is not decline; this is demolition.

The Shame Statistics That Will Haunt Generations

First time bowled out under 50 at home. First time 30 wickets lost in a three-match ODI series. First time winless in a calendar year in ODIs. First time whitewashed 3-0 at home – twice. Every single “first time in history” is a badge of disgrace pinned by Gambhir.

Turned Legends into Laughing Stocks

Kohli averaging 23 at home, Rohit looking lost, Ashwin-Jadeja neutered, bumrah overbowled and broken. These are not players in decline; these are world-class athletes suffocated by a coach who thinks shouting “play fearless” fixes technical disasters.

The Greg Chappell 2.0 Comparison Is Actually an Insult to Chappell

At least Chappell lasted only 18 months and we won the t20 world cup right after he left. Gambhir has already done more long-term damage and we’re still stuck with him. Even Chappell is somewhere sipping coffee thinking, “Amateur.”

BJP Quota Appointment Exposed

Zero international coaching experience, zero Level 3 certification when appointed, beat candidates with decades of proven success. Pure political quota. The same party that cries “merit” gifted indian cricket its biggest disaster because one of their loudmouths needed a job post politics.

Leave Before We Drag You Out

Gautam Gambhir, you have failed at batting, failed at politics, failed at governance, failed at mentoring, and now you have failed the nation that once worshipped you. This is not just a job you’re unfit for; this is a legacy you have permanently poisoned. Resign tonight, delete the press conference, and disappear. The sooner you leave our beautiful team, the sooner india can stop hanging its head in shame. The door is open. Use it. Now.
