London (Oval): After an impressive performance in the Manchester Test, Team India reached London for the next match of the England tour. However, the practice session at The Oval didn't go as planned. When the players arrived with support staff at the ground, they found the practice facilities lacking — particularly the pitch provided for training.

Head coach Gautam Gambhir, known for his fiery temperament and straightforward approach, approached the head groundsman to address the issue. But instead of cooperation, the response he received triggered a heated argument. The situation escalated quickly, with voices raised and tempers flaring on both sides.

Eyewitnesses reported that the confrontation turned quite serious until the Indian batting coach intervened to calm things down and ensure that the practice session could proceed without further disruption. This incident has brought Gambhir back into the spotlight, once again raising eyebrows about the coordination between local ground staff and visiting international teams.

It's not the first time Gambhir has made headlines for his assertive behavior — just days ago, he strongly criticized top names in a press conference post the Manchester Test. The Oval episode has now added fuel to his reputation as a no-nonsense coach demanding the best for his team.
