Since the 2000–01 season, India has been one of the toughest teams to beat at home. The former coaches like John Wright, Gary Kirsten, Anil Kumble, Ravi Shastri, and Rahul Dravid built a strong legacy of dominance, consistency, and almost flawless home performances.

Anil Kumble also maintained elite standards with 10 wins, 1 loss, and 2 draws, with a W-L ratio of 10.00, and no home series losses in 13 home tests. But Gambhir’s numbers stand out for the wrong reasons. In just nine home tests as head coach, India has won only four and lost five.
Meanwhile, India suffered a massive 408-run defeat in the second and final Test against South Africa in Guwahati. It was India’s biggest Test defeat in terms of balls.
This is followed by a 342-run defeat against Australia in Nagpur in 2004, 341 runs against Pakistan in Karachi in 2006, 337 runs against Australia in Melbourne in 2007, and again 333 runs against them in Pune back in 2017.
Gautam Gambhir records the lowest win percentage at home
But Gambhir’s home tenure shows a win rate of just 44.4% and a massive 55.5% loss rate, including two shocking clean sweeps by New Zealand and South Africa. He has now lost five tests at home from nine games as the Indian coach.
