India National Cricket Team head coach Gautam Gambhir and captain Shreyas Iyer’s angry moods from the fourth T20I against the England National Cricket Team on July 9 in Bristol.
England won the fourth T20I by nine wickets and took an unbeatable 3-0 lead in the series. However, after the match ended, there were several animated arguments from the Indian camp that went viral. Amid this, Gautam Gambhir under pressure as BCCI set to review his tenure after England series.
Fans unhappy as Gautam Gambhir pulls up Vaibhav Sooryavanshi in public
A long conversation between Gautam Gambhir and young opener Vaibhav Sooryavanshi caught everyone's attention. Gambhir looked angry with Vaibhav as he had an animated conversation with the teenage batter around 10 to 15 minutes in Bristol.
The photos and videos are all over social media, with fans trying to understand what Gambhir was discussing with the teenage batter, and that too in front of the fans and players near the boundary line. Gambhir seems to be unhappy with Vaibhav’s shot selection.
The head coach was not happy with the way Vaibhav had lost his wicket. The teenager has been dismissed in a similar fashion in the ongoing T20I series in England.
As the Indian head coach was explaining something, Vaibhav listened carefully throughout the discussion. But Gambhir’s expression left many unimpressed, with many calling out the coach for showing his dissent in front of everyone after the fourth match.

Vaibhav Sooryavanshi's tough England tour
Vaibhav Sooryavanshi entered international cricket with massive expectations after his unbelievable IPL 2026 season. The 15-year-old also created history by becoming the youngest player ever to represent India in international cricket, breaking Sachin Tendulkar's long-standing record.
But his first international series has been a nightmare for him. Even though he has shown his fearless batting style and natural attacking ability, he has not been able to play a big innings for India. Amid this, 'How was Harshit Rana picked?': Ex-cricketer questions India's selection policy.
Vaibhav made his T20I debut in Manchester and scored 14 runs from 10 balls before getting out to Josh Tongue. In the third T20I at Trent Bridge, the young opener once again looked dangerous. He smashed two quick sixes and scored 13 runs from only five balls.
However, Jofra Archer dismissed him with a sharp short-pitched delivery that forced him into a mistake. In the fourth T20I at Bristol, Vaibhav started well and scored 15 runs from 10 balls. He hit one four and one six, but Jofra Archer once again got the better of him with a short ball.
Shreyas Iyer and Sitanshu Kotak's intense discussions go viral
In another viral instance, India’s batting coach Sitanshu Kotak and captain Shreyas Iyer were also seen having some heated discussion in the dugout after the fourth T20I in Bristol. Earlier, Iyer also had some serious conversation with the head coach, Gambhir, in Bristol.
After losing the match, a very animated conversation is taking place between Gautam Gambhir, Sitanshu Kotak, and Shreyas Iyer.
