💨 Abstract

India head coach Gautam Gambhir had an intense verbal altercation with Surrey groundsman Lee Fortis before the Oval Test. Tensions have been high in the series, with previous incidents including a handshake row and arguments over time-wasting. The dispute happened during a net session, with Gambhir telling Fortis, “You can’t tell us what to do!” Gambhir threatened to ignore any complaint Fortis might make. Media speculation suggests arguments may have been regarding the facilities.
