Gautam Gambhir’s coaching record can be analyzed separately for white-ball and red-ball formats. While the former Indian batter has an impressive record as head coach in white-ball cricket, his Test performance has been underwhelming. The Border-Gavaskar Trophy was a significant tournament for him as a coach, but it has not gone in his favor so far. India has lost one game, won another, and now appears to be on the verge of losing the third match.
After their series victory over South Africa in the four-match T20I series, India has further strengthened its position as T20 World Cup champions. With India remaining unbeaten in T20Is, let’s take a closer look at Gambhir’s performance so far and review his coaching record to date.
Gambhir joined the Indian team following a successful stint with the Indian Premier League (IPL) team Kolkata Knight Riders, where he guided them to the IPL 2024 title. He will be aiming to achieve more milestones during his tenure as India’s coach.
