Gautam Gambhir's future as Team India head coach at serious risk

Despite being in commanding position, India lost the first Test against England at Leeds. It was India's  seventh loss in the last nine Tests.

Following the development, Gautam Gambhir is under serious pressure. Former India cricketer turned cricket expert  Aakash Chopra admitted that Gambhir is under huge pressure due to the decline in India's performance.

"There is a lot of pressure on Gautam Gambhir. The pressure is absolutely mounting. If you look at his performances in Test cricket, you will find that he has not won a lot of matches," said Chopra on his official YouTube channel.

According to Chopra, Gambhir's future as India's head coach in Test cricket may be in serious jeopardy if he loses the Test series against England.

"But in Test cricket, I think the questions are going to be there. And I think there is a lot of pressure on this series. If the England series doesn't go too well, then there will be a question mark - where are they going and what are they doing? Because the selectors will feel that whatever team management is asking for, it is being given. The type of player you want, the number of players you want, and the player you are pointing at are being given. So, if that is the case, you need to deliver the results. There are no excuses," said Chopra.
