Former India coach and ex-selector Madan Lal has advised under-fire Team India head coach Gautam Gambhir and national chief selector Ajit Agarkar to stay calm and do their jobs honestly.

“Stay calm, never mind, it’s [losing a Test series] part of the game, but you should do your job honestly. Only if you are convinced [about your decisions], will they [players] be convinced,” Madan Lal told mid-day when asked about the Indian Test team’s recent 0-2 debacle at home against South Africa. The 1983 World Cup-winning all-rounder spoke on the sidelines of the launch of the Asian Legends League Season Two at a city hotel on Tuesday.
