IND vs AUS: Gautam Gambhir is going to be under big trouble if India fails to win in Sydney

Gautam Gambhir's days as the Indian Cricket Team's Head Coach are going to be numbered if the Men in Blue fail go secure a win in Sydney

The Indian Team under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma suffered a crushing defeat versus the Mighty Australians in the Melbourne Boxing-Day Test-Match of the 2024-25 Border-Gavaskar Trophy Series by a margin of 184 runs. This win allowed the Aussies to take a 2-1 lead in the five-match series.

At the same time, a lot of questions are being asked to captain Rohit Sharma and Head Coach Gautam Gambhir after this defeat in Melbourne. Alongside former Cricketers, the fans are also criticising the coaching methods of Gambhir. Now, a big update has come out ahead of the Sydney Test-Match. 

Gambhir likely to be sacked if Team India lose in Sydney

If the Men in Blue fail to secure a win in the Sydney Test-Match, then the difficulties of Gautam Gambhir will increase. According to some media reports, his job as the Head Coach of the Indian Team is under threat. The Sydney Test-Match will decide the fate of Gambhir as the Head-Coach of the Men in Blue. 

If the two time WTC Runner's-up manage to secure a win in Sydney, then the pressure on GG will decrease a bit. However, if they fail to win, then the former KKR Mentor days as the Head-Coach of the Indian Team will be numbered. It will be interesting to see what kind of a decision is taken on Gautam Gambhir's tenure after the Sydney Test.

India lost a Test-Series on home soil after a span of 12 years

Before competing in the 2024-25 Border-Gavaskar Trophy series versus the Australians, Team India suffered a humiliating 0-3 home Test-Series defeat versus New Zealand. The Tom Latham-led team whitewashed Rohit Sharma & CO in the three-match Test-Series and handed India their first Test-Series defeat on home soil in 12 years. 

At the same time, the Men in Blue have showcased a lackluster display in the BGT series and therefore, Gautam Gambhir, the Head-Coach of Team India is being criticised heavily.
