Gautam Gambhir, the Indian head coach known for his fierce attitude and outspoken ways, was seen engaged in a heated exchange of words with Oval pitch curator Lee Fortis. The controversy escalated so far that the Indian staff, including batting coach Sitanshu Kotak, had to step in to draw the two individuals away from each other.
After the previous altercation, the controversy between the Oval groundstaff and the Indian head coach has been the centre line of the final Test, sidelining the availability of players or the match being a decisive game, working as a decider for the fate of the first Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy.
What seemed amazing from a video posted by Sandipan Banerjee on X was Gambhir's unbothered attitude as he totally ignored the presence of the big fellow and didn't have a single word for him.
