Once hailed as the conquerors of the Gabba, with the iconic commentary echoing “Toota hai Gabba ka Ghamand,” India labeled themselves as a team that could win not only at home but also abroad. However, they now face a disappointing turn of events in the ongoing series against New Zealand. On October 26, India lost the home series to the Kiwis by 2-0 in Pune, marking their first home series defeat since 2012. This loss has significantly dented their confidence, shattering the pride they once held in their dominance on home ground.
Virat-Rohit faces rage from fans
Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma’s disappointing performances in the match have made them targets for fans, who are blaming them for India’s loss. Both Virat and Rohit were cheaply dismissed in the Pune Test during the series. Fans are also calling for them to play domestic cricket to regain their form.
Social media is drawing comparisons between Ravi Shastri and Gautam Gambhir’s tenures as head coaches, highlighting Shastri’s success in winning at the Gabba while Gambhir struggles to secure victories in home series.
