Even if we do sigh, we become infamous, even if they kill, there is no discussion … This lion of Akbar Allahabad is enough to describe the current situation of the Indian team. The way the Oval pitch curator Lee Fortis instructed Team India to keep a distance from the pitch in England, how much he himself is following it, its truth is clearly visible in the pictures above.
There was a dispute over reaching close to the pitch
The last match of the five -match Test series between India and England is to be played at The Oval ground in London from 31 July (Thursday). There was a dispute over the pitch before the start of this match. In fact, on Tuesday, there was an argument between Gambhir and Fortis about approaching the pitch. Its video also went viral. Fortis had asked him to keep a distance of 2.5 meters (Gambhir), to which Gambhir expressed his displeasure.
Fortis threatened to complain to Gambhir
The Indian team participated in an alternative training session at Oval on Tuesday. During this time there was a sharp debate between Gautam Gambhir and Surre’s chief groundsman. According to the information, Li was not happy with most parts of the Fortis pitch to be used by the Indian team for training. He also expressed concern over some players and coaches getting closer to the pitch. At the time when the batting coach of the Indian team Sitanshu Kotak was discussing with Fortis, Gambhir came in the middle. Fortis was severely heard saying that they should not argue and if they continue to do so, they would have to ‘report the match referee’. Kotak and Fortis kept talking on the banks of the net. Gambhir then asked Kotak not to get into a conversation with Fortis and said that he (Fortis) could report to the match referee.
Asked to stay 2.5 meters away from the pitch
After the video of this incident went viral on social media, the batting coach of the Indian team Sitanshu Kotak told the truth of the case. He said in the press conference, “Gambhir and his team felt strange when they were asked to keep a distance from the pitch even though they did not even wear spikes. Kotak said, ‘When some of us went to see the wickets, a member of the ground staff said that stay at least 2.5 meters away which was a bit surprising. Because it was the pitch and the match starts the next day. This will be a five -day Test and we were standing in our joggers, so we felt a little strange.
‘We were wearing rubber spikes’
During this time, Kotak did not talk much on the debate between Gambhir and Fortis, but he said that his team was only looking at the pitch. Kotak further said, ‘We were just looking at that wicket. We were wearing rubber spikes. There is nothing wrong in this. Curator also has to understand the people they are talking to, they are very skilled and intelligent. For example, if you go to the ground where we practiced, you will not even see that a bowler in the outfield has made marks from his spikes. All this is due to the head coach. We try not to harm this ground.
