After South Africa defeated India on Day 5, Guwahati was heard screaming their lungs out booing at the head coach. The crowd was heard shouting the slogan "Gautam Gambhir haay haay" when he was spotted at the boundary. The policemen deployed at the stadium were seen talking to the crowd, trying to point out the shouters.

India suffered humiliating loss, a margin way beyond India's capacity to cover Gambhir defends with baseless confidence India’s latest Test setback has intensified scrutiny on Gautam Gambhir’s role as head coach, especially after consecutive home series whitewashes. With criticism mounting, Gambhir was asked whether he remained the right man to guide the team in the longest format. The former opener offered a blunt response, stressing that his personal position was secondary to the larger needs of Indian cricket. Gambhir was terse as usual at the post-match press conference, and said, “It is up to the BCCI to decide. I’ve said it in my first press conference when I took over as the head coach. Indian cricket is important; I’m not important. And I sit here and say the same thing." The funniest part was when he further reminded critics of his past achievements, which many appear quick to overlook. “And yes, people can keep forgetting about it. I’m the same guy who got results in England as well, with a young team… And I’m the same guy who won the Champions Trophy, and Asia Cup as well." A man who can proudly take credit for winning, no matter of whatever stature, should be ready to accept the blame and criticisms with an open heart too.
