Team India head coach Gautam Gambhir was involved in a heated spat with the chief pitch curator at The Oval on Tuesday, days ahead of the start of the fifth and final Test.

Lee Fortis was heard saying that he would "report" Gambhir after their interaction ahead of the fifth Test between England and India.

The Oval Test presents Gautam Gambhir with a golden opportunity to prove he's the right man to lead India's next-gen Test team in the post-Rohit-Kohli era. With the series on the line, this could well be his defining red-ball moment.
