For 12 years, India didn't lose a home Test series. That ended in 2024 with 0–3 loss to NZ. Now a 0–2 drubbing by South Africa raises serious questions about Gambhir’s coaching.
India was reduced to 0/2 in 2nd innings. But valiant effort by Shubman & Rahul, & centuries of defiance by Washington & Jadeja ensure India-England series remains alive going into 5th Test.
If the aim was to secure balance, then it feels like a rookie move to pick Washington Sundar over Sai Sudharsan. And Kuldeep Yadav's exclusion defies cricketing logic.
All-rounder did not feature in match which his team, Gujarat Titans, lost to Punjab Kings by 11 runs. Sundar was part of Indian team that won Champions Trophy earlier this month.
China patiently invested capital, skill and technology in coal gasification. Unlike it, we won’t move from words to action. As crude prices decline, we lose interest.
The Gambhir doctrine:- Select test team on basis of T20 performance.
Anyway he was made coach on basis of IPL.🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️
