Indian batsman Gautam Gambhir has come out in support of the Indian team after hosts South Africa won the second Test by 135 runs at Supersport Park in Centurion courtesy the ruthless approach by their bowlers, who have had the better of the touring and famed Indian batting line up. None of the Indian batsmen looked comfortable except for Indian skipper Virat Kohli who scored his 21st Test century and scored 153 in the first innings of the Test match.

The Indian team and management has had to face a lot of criticism ever since the start of this Test match, be it team selection or individual performances. The media and fans have kept the Indian team under some serious scrutiny.

However, Gambhir has come out in support of the team as he feels that the fans have been over critical on team India rather than appreciating South Africa’s performance in both the Tests. Gambhir wrote:

“It’s time to show support for Indian team and not being over-the-top critical. This was the team that had such a fabulous run, two games don’t make them bad. Rather than being severe on our boys, let’s just give credit to d opposition @BCCI. Simple: Well played @OfficialCSA”
