India’s recent struggles in Test cricket under head coach Gautam Gambhir prompt former spinner Amit Mishra to call for more time for the coach, despite a poor run of results. Mishra points to India’s overall Test performance since Gambhir took charge, saying patience is needed as the team adjusts.
Across outlets, the same broad statistics are cited: in the six Test series India has played since Gambhir became head coach (excluding a one-off Test against Afghanistan), India wins only two—both at home, against Bangladesh and West Indies. The remaining series bring a heavy tally of defeats, including ten losses overall reported in the coverage. Times of India and Yahoo Sports both frame this as the toughest stretch of Gambhir’s tenure, while still featuring Mishra’s argument that earlier evaluation should not be final.
The outlets differ mainly in emphasis. Yahoo Sports spotlights “WTC hopes fading” alongside the record, while Times of India highlights the combination of “ten defeats” and “two home clean sweeps.” Both agree on the core coaching-performance context and Mishra’s call for additional time.
