S Sreesanth takes dig at Gautam Gambhir, calls him arrogant after his ‘smile’ post on social media
Initial tensions between Sreesanth & Gautam Gambhir came to a head when Sreesanth commented on Gambhir's Instagram post.
The recent disagreement between former Indian cricketers S Sreesanth and Gautam Gambhir took an ugly turn on Thursday when Sreesanth commented on Gambhir’s Instagram post. He branded batsman Gambhir as an ‘arrogant and utterly classes individual.’
Earlier, Gambhir had shared a picture of himself in an Indian jersey with the caption, “Smile when the world is all about attention!” The post seemed to be a subtle reference to the situation with Sreesanth, escalating after a Legends League match between India Capitals and Gujarat Giants.
In response, Sreesanth comments on the post, accusing Gautam Gambhir of exceeding the boundaries of sportsmanship and brotherhood. He expressed disappointment in Gambhir’s conduct and criticized him for engaging in conflicts with other cricketers. Sreesanth refuted allegations of being a ‘fixer’ and highlighted Gambhir’s use of derogatory language on live television.
S Sreesanth, in an emotional video on Instagram, revealed the exchange during the match, stating that Gambhir repeatedly called him a ‘fixer’ on live television. He emphasized that he maintained composure and did not use any abusive language in response.
Adding an interesting note to the situation, former Indian bowler Irfan Pathan commented on Gambhir’s post, writing, “Best answer.”
This public spat has captured attention, with fans and fellow crickets reacting to the unfolding drama. Sreesanth’s candid revelations and Gautam Gambhir’s Instagram post have sparked discussions within the cricketing community.
