Gautam Gambhir, the Indian cricket team coach, is in focus after the side's latest string on uninspiring performances. India's last major success came in June when it won the T20 World Cup, when Rahul Dravid was the coach. Then, Gautam Gambhir took over the role of India head coach. He was expected to oversee a period of transition in the Indian team. Since he took over, Gambhir has witnessed an ODI series loss against Sri Lanka, India getting clean-sweeped 3-0 by New Zealand at home in a Test series and some mundane displays in Australia with the side trailing 1-2 going into the final Test in Sydney.
