After the defeat in the fourth test on the Australia tour, Gautam Gambhir had strongly reprimanded Team India. The atmosphere in the dressing room had become uneasy due to the leaking of the head coach’s conversation after the match. When Gambhir was asked about this, he said that the debate between the coach and the player should be limited to the dressing room, and these are just reports, not the truth.
After this statement of Gambhir, the discussion intensified in the cricket world as to who is the player who is leaking this information. Now a new report has come out in which it has been told that Gambhir has revealed the name of that player in the review meeting of BCCI.
According to the report of News24, that player is none other than Sarfaraz Khan of Mumbai. However, there has been no official response from Gambhir or Sarfaraz on this report yet.
During this five-match Test series, Sarfaraz Khan did not get a chance to play even a single match. Team India lost this series 1-3, and after 10 years Australia not only won the Border-Gavaskar Trophy but also eliminated India from the World Test Championship final.
According to the report, Gambhir made the allegations against Sarfaraz during the BCCI review meeting. Gambhir told BCCI stakeholders that it was Sarfaraz who leaked the information about his anger in the dressing room after the defeat in the Boxing Day Test to the media. It was also said that BCCI stakeholders are not happy with Sarfaraz and the player is unlikely to play for India as long as Gambhir is the head coach of the team.
However, this report could not clarify whether Gambhir has any concrete evidence against Sarfaraz or not.
