World Test Champions Australia: India head coach Gautam Gambhir downplayed the criticism he has faced after a humiliating 3-0 series loss to New Zealand at home in the recent series, saying he knew that taking up the prestigious role of India coach is highly difficult and don't think "he is feeling the heat" as his job is "absolutely honest".

Gambhir have come under fire after a 3-0 series whitewash at home against New Zealand, which marked their first Test series defeat on home soil since 2012 and the first 3-0 whitewash at home this century.

Addressing the media in the pre-departure press conference ahead of the five-match Test series against Australia, Gambhir admitted that his side was outplayed by visitors at home and haven't played its best cricket, but expressed optimism that it doesn't change anything for Border-Gavaskar Trophy against Australia.
