Gautam Gambhir reportedly shouts in the India dressing room.

The former opener reportedly lost his cool and lashed out at the Indian cricketers in the dressing room after yet another batting collapse, resulting in a defeat in the fourth Test match to Australia by 184 runs at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. India lost seven wickets for just 34 runs in the final session of Day 5 to get bowled out for 155 in their 340-run chase. Gambhir was reportedly unhappy with how things turned out for Team India. According to an Indian Express report, Gambhir said, “Enough is enough” in the dressing room.

“Bahut ho gaya,” said Gambhir according to a report.

The report stated, “Shortly after India lost seven wickets in 20.4 overs and handed the Melbourne Test to Australia, head coach Gautam Gambhir had some stern words for the entire squad in the dressing room on Monday. “’Bahut ho gaya (I’ve had enough).’”

Gautam Gambhir has threatened to drop those not following orders.

Though Gambhir did not take names, he indicated he would drop those who did not follow orders. The report added, “Gambhir, who took over as coach on July 9, is learnt to have talked about how he had let the team do what it wanted for the ‘last six months’ but would now ‘decide’ how they would play. In a veiled warning to players to toe the line, he is learnt to have said that going ahead, those who don’t abide by his pre-decided team strategy would be given a ‘thank you.’”
