The former Australian opener commented on the curator of the Gautam Gambhir vsoval Pitch Fuud and said that the Indian coach could use a better language with Lee Fortis before the last test between India and England. Gambhir and Fortis have been seen to join the verbal battle before the oval test.
During the exchange, Gambhir told Fortis that he was only earthly And several panels were also thrown into the mix. Indian bat coach Sitanshu Kothak later revealed that Gambhir was dissatisfied with the behavior of Fortis, who told the Indian team leadership to keep away from the playground and scream at the scenes staff.
Hayden, when he spoke to the cricket bar, criticized the command that Fortis held at the venue. The former Aussie opener suggested that Gambhir should be a little alleviated, but he understood that he was in the middle of preparations for an important match.
“This is a typical case in England. It’s a bit of flex, here we are, the final test match, this is my place and they will try to make it difficult for Gautam Gambhir.
“Gambhir could do that a little better”
Greg Blewett also agreed with the perspective of Hayden and said that Gambhir could handle the situation much better.
“I agree. Even now, even as a commentator, you are approaching the playground and everyone says you can’t approach anywhere and you are like I don’t have spikes. It’s quite ridiculous. I get frustration. But I agree that the language he used wasn’t great.
Despite the spitting between Gambhir and Fortis, which dominated the subtitles before the last match of the series, the oval test proved to be a classic because the playground offered a lot of help. India won a match for six runs at the end and Fortis switched from being a villain on a hero for Indian fans.
