‘Smile when the world…’: Gautam Gambhir reacts to Sreesanth’s outburst on misbehaviour | Cricket News – Times of India

NEW DELHI: Gautam Gambhir is not the type to remain silent if provoked. Following ex-India fast bowler S Sreesanth’s video message expressing disappointment over Gambhir’s conduct, the left-handed batsman responded humbly on Twitter without directly addressing Sreesanth by name.
“Smile when the world is all about attention!,” Gambhir wrote on his X handle (formerly Twitter).
A heated argument occurred between Gambhir and Sreesanth during the Legends League Cricket (LLC) match between India Capitals and Gujarat Giants on Wednesday.

On Thursday morning, a video of an argument between these two former Indian players emerged. Gautam could be clearly seen in an argument with the former Indian pacer during the match. Other players and the umpire had to separate the two cricketers.

After the match, Sreesanth had posted a video, slammed Gambhir and narrated the incident.
“Thank you for all the love and support. Just wanted to clear the air on what happened with ‘Mr Fighter’ who always fights with all his colleagues for absolutely no reason. He does not even respect his own senior players including Viru bhai (Virender Sehwag) and a lot of people. Even today, without any provocation, he kept calling me something very rude and something he should not have said. I am not at all fault, wanted to clear the air,” said Sreesanth in the video.

“What Mr Gauti has done, you will know sooner or later. The words he said on the cricket field are not unacceptable. Please do support and me, my state and family have gone through so much and I fought those battles with all your support and now people want to down me for no reason, even when I am giving my best and the team is doing well,” continued the former pacer.

“I will let you all know what he said. What is the point of representing the people if you do not respect your colleagues? Even in live broadcasting, when he is asked about Virat, he never speaks about him, he speaks about something else. I do not want to go further in details. I am hurt, my family is hurt and my dear ones are hurt. The way he said things, I did not use any single bad/abusive word, he just kept on saying words, like he always does,” concluded Sreesanth.
Both Gambhir and Sreesanth were part of the victorious 2011 World Cup winning Indian team.
