In a dramatic turn of events during the Legends League Cricket 2023 Eliminator on December 6, Gautam Gambhir and S Sreesanth found themselves in the midst of a heated exchange, diverting attention from Gambhir's impressive half-century for India Capitals against the Gujarat Giants. The on-field spat at the Lalabhai Contractor Stadium in Surat prompted intervention from umpires as the two former teammates engaged in a war of words.
Following the altercation, Sreesanth, in an explosive post-match interview, accused Gambhir of using 'very rude' language and dubbed him 'Mr. Fighter.' The former fast bowler went on to claim that Gambhir lacked respect for his ex-teammates, including Virender Sehwag and Virat Kohli.
In response, Gambhir chose to downplay the controversy, taking to social media with a cryptic note on Thursday morning. The former India opener, no stranger to cricket controversies, seemed determined not to let the on-field clash escalate.
Here's what he tweeted:
The Legends League Cricket T20 tournament, featuring retired cricketers, is witnessing high-intensity encounters. Gambhir's India Capitals are set to face Mohammad Kaif's Manipal Tigers in Qualifier 2 on December 7, with the final scheduled for December 9 at the Lalabhai Contractor Stadium. Suresh Raina's Urbanisers Hyderabad await the second finalists.
