Gambhir shouts in India dressing room after Malbourne loss

A media report has claimed that Team India Coach Gautam Gambhir shouted in dressing room after MCG defeat vs Australia and threatened to drop players who dont follow orders.

The former opener reportedly lost his cool and lashed out at the Indian cricketers in the dressing room after yet another batting collapse saw them surrender the fourth Test match to Australia by 184 runs at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.

According to a Indian Express report, Gambhir said, “Enough is enough” in the dressing room.

“Shortly after India lost seven wickets in 20.4 overs and handed the Melbourne Test to Australia, head coach Gautam Gambhir had some stern words for the entire squad in the dressing room on Monday. “Bahut ho gaya (I’ve had enough),” the report stated.

It added that Gambhir did not take any names, but his indication was clear: Forget your natural and play according to the situation and the team’s needs.

After losing the Melbourne Test because of another batting collapse, Gambhir reportedly told the members of Team India to abide by his methods and techniques or else face the axe.

“Gambhir, who took over as coach on July 9, is learnt to have talked about how he had let the team do what it wanted for the “last six months” but would now “decide” how they would play. In a veiled warning to players to toe the line, he is learnt to have said that going ahead, those who don’t abide by his pre-decided team strategy would be given a “thank you”,” the report added.
