Gambhir Gets Into Argument With Curator
The New Indian Express Shivamogga
|July 30, 2025
INDIA head coach Gautam Gambhir had a verbal spat with pitch curator Lee Fortis of the Oval Cricket ground two days ahead of the fifth and final Test here on Tuesday.
Apparently unhappy with the instruction being given by the ground staff, Gambhir, visibly upset, was seen having animated discussions with the chief curator and was even heard saying, "You don't tell us what to do."
It was learnt that the ground staff has even threatened to lodge a complaint against Gambhir to which the latter responded saying, "You can do whatever you like." Notably, India reached London on Monday evening following a brilliant draw against England in Manchester a day before. Shubman Gill and Co are still trailing 1-2 in the series and need to win the match if they wish to share honours with the hosts in the five-match rubber.
