Gautam Gambhir’s heated clash with The Oval workers shocked everyone. The Indian coach became extremely angry about the poor practice facilities at the ground. Things got so bad that other coaches had to jump in and calm him down.
The whole mess started when Gambhir wasn’t happy with the practice nets and pitches. He felt his players deserved better facilities before such an important match. The ground staff probably didn’t expect such a strong reaction from India’s head coach.
This drama comes at the worst possible time for the IND vs ENG 5th Test. India trails 1-2 in the series and desperately needs to win this final match. The last thing India needed was more off-field problems. This will also add distractions at this time.
What Actually Happened at The Oval
Gambhir completely lost his cool and started shouting at the ground workers. He screamed, “You can’t tell us what to do!” while pointing fingers at them. The Indian coach looked furious about the whole practice situation there.
Batting coach Sitanshu Kotak had to rush over and separate both sides quickly. Other Indian staff members also helped to calm down the angry head coach. Nobody wanted this argument to get even more heated than it already was.
