All is not well in the Indian dressing room following the Melbourne Test defeat to Australia in the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy. According to a report, head coach Gautam Gambhir has given an ultimatum to the players that he won’t shy away from dropping them if they don’t toe his line.
As per The Indian Express, after Australia stormed to an 184-run win at the Melbourne Cricket Ground to take 2-1 lead, Gambhir, in the dressing room, said, “Bahut ho gaya (I’ve had enough)” in response to the performance of the tourists.
Without pointing fingers, Gambhir claimed the players haven’t been performing as per the situation and for the sake of their “natural game”, they are refusing to follow the plan.
Additionally, the former India opener also said he will now decide the style of play after having given them the freehand for the “past six months” and those who refuse to toe the line, will be let go of.
