India yet to lose T20I series under Gautam Gambhir: A look at his unbeaten streak as head coach

India’s domination in the shortest format under head coach Gautam Gambhir continued as the visitors sealed a commanding 48-run win over Australia in the fourth T20I on Thursday, taking a 2-1 series lead after the first match was washed out.

With this victory, India remain unbeaten in every T20I series since Gambhir took charge.

Under his stewardship, India have whitewashed Sri Lanka (3-0) and Bangladesh (3-0) at home, triumphed 3-1 in South Africa, and edged England 4-1 at home so far.

The ongoing series win in Australia adds yet another feather to the former opener’s coaching cap, as India will not lose the series Down Under.

After being asked to bat first on Thursday, India posted 167/8, led by Shubman Gill’s 46 off 39 balls, with handy contributions from Abhishek Sharma (28) and Shivam Dube (22). Despite a middle-order wobble, Axar Patel’s late flourish (21 not out off 11) helped India reach a competitive total.

Australia began their chase confidently through skipper Mitchell Marsh (30) and Matthew Short (25), but India’s bowlers soon seized control. Washington Sundar’s stunning spell of 3 wickets for just 3 runs in eight balls ripped through the tail, while consistent pressure from the seamers ensured Australia were bundled out for 119.

As India head to Brisbane for the final T20I on Sunday, Gambhir’s record remains spotless in this format, a stark contrast to his early stumbles in Tests and ODIs.

Gambhir endured his first Test series defeat as India’s head coach against New Zealand at home, while his ODI stint began with a heavy away series loss to Sri Lanka.

Under his guidance, though, India’s T20 unit looks sharper, hungrier, and well on course to become an unstoppable force ahead of the 2026 T20 World Cup.
