Shubman Gill explains coach’s viral argument with Oval groundsman before final Test

Shubman Gill Gautam Gambhir Oval

An altercation occurred between India head coach Gautam Gambhir and The Oval’s head groundsman Lee Fortis during practice for the fifth Test against England.
The dispute arose when Fortis objected to Gambhir and India captain Shubman Gill inspecting the pitch too closely.
Gambhir confronted Fortis, asserting the groundsman had no right to dictate their actions and should 'stay in his capacity'.
India captain Shubman Gill supported Gambhir, calling Fortis's intervention 'absolutely unnecessary' and unprecedented in their experience.
The incident took place ahead of the crucial final Test, with England leading the series 2-1, and England captain Ben Stokes sidelined due to injury.
