Aakash Chopra pointed out Gautam Gambhir\u2019s underwhelming track record as head coach in Test cricket<\/a>. Despite India’s strong performances in white-ball formats \u2014 including winning the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 and steady growth in T20Is \u2014 their form in Test cricket has noticeably dipped since Gambhir took charge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

India have struggled to compete with top-tier teams in the longest format. Currently, they have managed just one win in their last nine Test matches. The recent loss to England in the first Test at Leeds has only intensified the scrutiny on Gambhir\u2019s leadership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gautam Gambhir: The pressure further mounted after India suffered an unprecedented 0-3 whitewash at home against New Zealand \u2014 a first in Indian cricket history. That was followed by a disappointing 1-3 series loss in Australia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since Gautam Gambhir\u2019s appointment as India\u2019s head coach, the team\u2019s performance in Test cricket has raised eyebrows<\/a>. Under his leadership, India has won only one Test series \u2014 a home series against Bangladesh \u2014 and managed just a single Test victory outside of that, which came in Australia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adding to the challenges, key players like Ravi Ashwin (across all formats), Rohit Sharma, and Virat Kohli \u2014 all pillars of India\u2019s Test side \u2014 have retired from the format. With Shubman Gill taking over as Test captain, Gambhir now faces the task of rebuilding a new-look Indian side. However, their rocky start to the ICC World Test Championship (WTC) 2025-27 cycle has sparked criticism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gautam Gambhir: Former India cricketer and commentator Aakash Chopra has questioned Gambhir\u2019s impact, citing India\u2019s defeats and the growing pressure on the new head coach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking on his YouTube channel, Chopra remarked, \u201cThere\u2019s a lot of pressure on Gautam Gambhir<\/a>. It\u2019s piling up. The selectors have provided everything the coaching staff asked for. So now, it\u2019s time to deliver results. Period.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite being given full authority in team matters, Gambhir\u2019s tenure has yet to yield the expected outcomes. As a result, the ongoing Test series in England is being seen as a crucial moment \u2014 one that could define Gambhir\u2019s future in the role, particularly in the red-ball format.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
