Tensions flared off the field after the conclusion of the between India and England at Old Trafford, with fresh controversy now emerging involving India’s head coach Gautam Gambhir.
According to reports, staff members at The Oval have threatened to lodge a formal complaint against Gambhir over an alleged incident that reportedly took place during India’s training session at the venue.
The details of the confrontation remain unclear, but preliminary reports suggest that Gambhir may have had a heated exchange with the pitch curator during a pre-match practice session in the lead-up to the series finale. The staff are reportedly preparing to file a formal complaint if the matter is not addressed through internal channels.
Gambhir is known for his fiercely competitive and no-nonsense style, both as a player and now as a coach. While his approach has often been praised for instilling a winning mindset, it has occasionally drawn criticism for being confrontational.
Whether this incident escalates into a formal investigation remains to be seen. For now, it has added a fresh layer of drama to an already fiery Test series between two historic cricketing rivals.
