Reports: Tension in Indian dressing room prevalent from beginning of Australia tour

The Border-Gavaskar Trophy might have started on a good note for the Indian team when they beat the Australians in Perth but after that, it has been an absolute struggle as they have not looked at their best at all. The hosts are currently leading 2-1 and have a chance to win back the title after 10 years.

Throughout this series, there have also been reports of some unrest in the Indian dressing room including reports of outburst of Gautam Gambhir after the MCG Test defeat. Recently, reports have also emerged of there being lack of bonding between the players. The sources also mentioned that they had broken up into small groups after the Perth win and did not celebrate the victory together.

“They didn’t hang around in the dressing room to have a drink or even step out for a meal together. Instead, they broke up into little groups and went their separate ways. The closest they came to it was a bunch of them, around seven or eight including a couple of the assistant coaches, going to Nobu, the high-end Japanese restaurant chain, for dinner," the source said as quoted by Hindustan Times.

The report also mentioned that India head coach Gautam Gambhir decided to have dinner with his family while some players dined out.

“The head coach, Gautam Gambhir, spent it having a quiet Indian meal with his family. Some of the other youngsters were spotted later at night floating around Hay Street. This is despite a senior member of the support staff having offered his own credit card to buy some drinks for the team so that they could stick together to revel in what they’d achieved. As he would tell me later, none of the players were really interested. They all had their own plans," the source added.
