The reports were suggesting that after the defeat in Melbourne, Indian dressing room has gone into chaos as Gambhir has been fed-up with the recent below-par performances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The reports also suggested that head coach also wanted veteran batter Cheteshwar Pujara to be in the team, but this request got turned down by the Ajit Agarkar-led selection committee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;<em><strong>Debates between coach and player should remain in the dressing room. Stern words. They were just reports, not truth<\/strong><\/em>,&#8221; Gambhir said while speaking in the pre-match press conference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;<em><strong>Indian cricket will be in safe hands till honest people stay in the dressing room. The only thing that keeps you in the dressing room is performance<\/strong><\/em>,&#8221; Gambhir added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Reports also suggested that some issues have been noticed with a senior player going to project himself as an option to replace Rohit as a captain. India will now face Australia for the fifth and final Test of the ongoing series in Sydney from January 3.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There were reports of there being unrest in the Indian dressing room, to which head coach Gautam Gambhir came up and stated them to be just reports and not truth.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":666,"featured_media":1219941,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[456,276,9406,15412,142],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.10 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>&#039;They were just reports...&#039;: Gautam Gambhir breaks silence on Debate within dressing room<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"There were reports of unrest in Indian dressing room.
