Gambhir Blames Technique and Temperament in Eden Gardens Test
India coach Gautam Gambhir sharply criticized his batters after their collapse in the first Test against South Africa at Eden Gardens.
Chasing 124 on a turning yet playable pitch, India were bowled out for 93, handing the Proteas a 30-run win. Gambhir blamed technique, temperament, and mental toughness rather than the surface, highlighting Washington Sundar’s 31 as the only notable effort against Simon Harmer’s 4-21. South Africa captain Temba Bavuma’s resilient 55* guided his team to victory. Injuries, including Shubman Gill’s neck issue, compounded India’s woes.
Gambhir stressed that Test cricket demands more than skill—mental resilience is key.
