The meeting was significant as it has become clear in recent times that the national selection committee, led by MSK Prasad, is not on the same page as the team management comprising captain Virat Kohli and coach Ravi Shastri.
Virat Kohli's India will hope for redemption in Australia after Test series reverses in South Africa and England.
Shastri pointed out the phases during Test matches when the talented all-rounder took the game away from India.
While the question asked by the scribe was "justified", Gavaskar felt maybe the timing was wrong.
Virat Kohli the batsman exorcised the ghosts of a horrendous 2014 series but his captaincy left a lot to be desired in the just-concluded series against England.
Joe Root paid rich tribute to James Anderson for becoming the most successful fast bowler in Test history and hoped he will continue to spearhead the English attack.
Anderson, who is still at the prime of his bowling, surpassed former Australian great Glenn McGrath to become the most successful fast bowler in Test cricket.
At 36, Anderson is at the twilight of his career but McGrath believes the Englishman is not yet done and the next target for him will definitely be Kumble's (619) record.
Kohli said Cook's determination reflects in his batting as he scored 147 runs in his last Test which was also his 33rd century.
James Anderson became the most successful fast-bowler in Test history by claiming the final wicket to clinch England's 118-run victory.
The Indian skipper was full of praise for two centurions KL Rahul and Rishabh Pant, who raised visions of an improbable victory for the visitors on the final day.
A mediocre England team with a fragile batting line-up won the series by a comprehensive 4-1 margin after India were bowled out for 345 in pursuit of a mammoth target of 464.
With the help of his fighting knock, the 20-year-old keeper from Rourkee has silenced his critics who slammed him for a shoddy job behind the stumps.
Rahul is the third Indian opener after Sunil Gavaskar and Shikhar Dhawan to score a century in the fourth innings of an away Test.
Rishabh Pant has conceded an unprecedented 76 byes in six innings in the ongoing Test series against England although at least 20-25 of those runs were not exactly his fault.

England defeat India by 118 runs to win the fifth and final Test and clinch the series 4-1. A perfect send-off to their former skipper, Alastair Cook.
Alastair Cook was attending the press conference at the end of 4th day's play when British journalists presented him 33 Beer bottles of different makes to honour his 33 Test hundreds.
India stared at an embarrassing defeat after Alastair Cook's fairytale farewell knock and Joe Root's classy hundred enabled England to pile more misery on the visitors during the penultimate day of the fifth Test.
Courtesy the twin hundreds by the former and current skipper, England declared their second innings on 423/8 with a massive target of 464 for the Indians.
