    Humiliation for India

    This wasn’t just another loss. Guwahati hosted its first-ever Test match, and fans watched India fold in embarrassing fashion. South Africa celebrated a historic win, their first Test series win in India in 25 years, and jumped to second in the WTC table. Meanwhile, India looked clueless, beaten in every department, and walked off to loud jeering.

    The whitewash also drags the spotlight onto Gautam Gambhir’s position. Since taking over, India have lost five of their last seven home Tests, including back-to-back series defeats to SENA teams.

    In the post-match press conference, Gambhir was asked point-blank whether he should continue as Test coach. He didn’t dodge it.

    “It is for the BCCI to decide. Indian cricket is important; I am not important,” he said, before reminding everyone that India also won the Champions Trophy and Asia Cup under him and pushed England hard earlier this year. “This is a team which is learning.”
