- •Gambhir faces criticism after India's 0-2 Test series loss to South Africa and a previous whitewash under his coaching.
- •Panesar believes the current Indian Test team is "weak" and "not that strong," requiring time to rebuild after player retirements.
- •BCCI has denied reports of VVS Laxman replacing Gambhir, reaffirming trust in him.
- •Panesar, known for his role in England's 2012-13 India Test series win, suggests Gambhir's white-ball success doesn't translate directly to Test coaching.
