Lee Fortis talked on a dispute with Gautam Gambhir
When the Indian team came to practice at Kennington Oval, pitch curator Lee Fortis began to tell Indian players what net to use and not what net. Apart from this, he also told Team India where to mark and where to mark. Indian coach Gautam Gambhir was very angry to hear this. There was a strong argument between the two.
Shortly after the controversy, when asked by pitch curator Lee Fortis, he told him that ‘this match is too big, Gautam Gambhir is a little sensitive.’ He then changed his statement when he was asked about the statement.

Talking to India journalists later, Lee Fortis later said, “Everything is fine, I am okay, there is nothing to hide. It seems that it is coming to some extent … a big match is coming …” Lee Fortis did not say anything about the complaint. But the controversy is on the rise on social media. Because of this, fans are waiting for the official statement of the BCCI and the English Cricket Board on the dispute. Gautam Gambhir has not yet made his statement.
