Five unwanted records under Gautam Gambhir's coaching

First home defeat to South Africa in 15 years

India’s struggles continued as they fell to South Africa by 30 runs at Eden Gardens, Kolkata, failing to chase a modest 124-run target. This marked India’s first home loss to the Proteas in 15 years. Under Gambhir, India also registered their second failure to chase a target under 150 at home, becoming the only team in the 21st century to suffer such defeats twice.
