According to a report by The Indian Express, Gambhir was fuming after the Indian team returned to the dressing room following their defeat in the fourth Border-Gavaskar series Test in Melbourne.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The report also stated that Gambhir urged the selection committee to re-include Test specialist\u00a0Cheteshwar Pujara into the team\u00a0for Australia tour. However, his request was ignored by the Ajit Agarkar-led committee. Even after India had won the Perth Test, Gambhir was reportedly asking for Pujara&#8217;s inclusion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pujara was among the star performers for the Indian team during their previous 2 victories over Australia, but hasn&#8217;t been given a chance to feature for the Men in Blue since the 2023 World Test Championship (WTC) final.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The report further stated that the atmosphere in the Indian dressing room has been divided for some time now with unrest being caused over team selection as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gambhir has also reportedly not seen eye-to-eye with the
