Former India player turned veteran commentator Aakash Chopra has questioned how head coach Gautam Gambhir’s reported dressing room talk was leaked before the fifth Border-Gavaskar Trophy (BGT) 2024-25 Test. He added that Team India are like a family where everyone should trust each other. Notably, India suffered a 184-run defeat in the fourth Test against Australia in Melbourne as well.

In a video shared on his YouTube channel ‘Aakash Chopra,’ he said, “People are saying that Gautam said the shots being played won’t work out and that it’s enough. My first big question is how the talk that apparently happened in the dressing room came out. You can openly say anything in the dressing room and have complete faith that the talk won’t go out. It’s a small family where you trust each other. The day the dressing room talk starts coming out, the trust deficit is of a different level.”

In the same video, Aakash Chopra also added that such leaks could lead to a divided and insecure dressing room as well.

“Then you see groups in the team. Suddenly you will find discussions happening in groups because no one can talk openly. No one will talk on one platform as it gets leaked. Secondly, the dressing room becomes extremely insecure. If the dressing room talk starts coming out, it means it has become the home of insecure players. Thirdly, generally, the one who leaks is one of the seniors. The juniors are incapable of doing that. The juniors are anyway scared and don’t say anything to anyone because they are too consumed in their own thoughts. My big red flag is that it’s a concern if the dressing room talk is coming out, in case it’s true,” Aakash Chopra concluded.
