Australian player’s comment became the reason
Gavaskar said, “Yes, the decision was disappointing, but I did the walkout only because the Australian players chased me while I was passing Chetan (Chauhan) while returning to the pavilion. They told me to get away and then I returned and I asked Chetan to go with me. Gavaskar also hit his bat on the pad so that the umpire could understand his displeasure. When Gavaskar was leaving the crease from Baman, according to reports, Lily had made a comment and this Indian batsman returned and instructed fellow opener Chetan Chauhan to go back.
