Under head coach Gautam Gambhir, Indian cricket has hit a new low after losing their first Test series to South Africa at home since 2000.
India suffered a massive 408-run defeat to South Africa in the 2nd and final Test in Guwahati.
Amid speculations regarding his tenure, Gambhir said that it is up to the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) to decide his future.
Reflecting on India’s series defeat in the post-match press conference, Gambhir said, “It is for the BCCI to decide. I have said this before as well, Indian cricket is important, I am not.”
“I am the same guy who got results in England, won the Champions Trophy, and the Asia Cup. This is a team that is learning.”
Notably, India’s Test side has been struggling since the retirements of match-winners Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, and Ravichandran Ashwin. (News Bytes)
