During a training session at The Oval on Tuesday, a tense exchange reportedly occurred between Team India head coach Gautam Gambhir and Lee Fortis, the venue’s head pitch curator. The disagreement came just days before the crucial fifth and final Test match. According to a PTI report, the confrontation arose after Fortis objected to the Indian team using a specific practice pitch, which sparked a strong reaction from Gambhir. Eyewitnesses noted that Gambhir became visibly upset and gestured pointedly at the curator during the exchange.
