He (Fortis) sent someone to inform us that we should stand from the playground, which was surprising,” Kotak said. “Looking at the playground, there’s nothing wrong with two days before the game and we had a section shoe.” Gambhir reportedly lost the temperament after Fortis allegedly shouted at the members of the Indian Support Personnel to carry the cooling box on the field. “At that time, Gautam confronted him and told him he couldn’t talk like this with supporting staff,” Kotak added.
