2007's India vs. Pakistan ODI at Kanpur had Shahid Afridi bowling to Gautam Gambhir and taking potshots at him. Afridi became agitated during this match when Gambhir hit a four on his delivery, and he began speaking after turning to face Gambhir.
Following this, Gambhir ran into Afridi while taking a run on the subsequent delivery, and Gambhir elbowed Afridi. Gambhir thought Afridi had purposefully stepped in front of him when they collided. Later, the umpires had to separate these two players who were furiously approaching one another.
