Team India Head Coach Gautam Gambhir has been going through one of his toughest times in professional cricket and there is no doubt about it. The Indian team is reportedly divided and Gambhir wants a certain amount of discipline in the dressing room that is filled with superstars of the game. After Gambhir took over as the Head Coach, India were whitewashed by New Zealand on their home turf, they also lost the Border-Gavaskar Trophy to Australia after a decade and to make matters worse, also lost a place in the World Test Championship finals.

Under Gambhir, Team India lost a total of six games out of the ten Tests that they played. Gambhir was appointed as the Head Coach of the team amid great fanfare. The former India played had mentored Kolkata Knight Riders to their third IPL trophy, but the going has been tough for him as far as his coaching job at the highest level is concerned. Many believe that Gambhir's ways are too dictatorial for the team and maybe that is creating all sorts of chaos in the team.
