(Cricket News) “Without any provocation, he kept on calling me something which was very rude and should not have been said by Mr. Gautam Gambhir,” Sreesanth said in a video that was posted on Instagram during the post-match presentation ceremony.
“I am not at all at fault, I wanted to clear the air straight away. The things he said on a cricket field live are not acceptable.” Sreesanth is a former fast bowler for India and has accused his former team-mate Gautam Gambhir of calling him a “fixer” during a Legends League match in Surat. Caps won the match by a score of 12 runs.
Although Sreesanth did not immediately address what Gambhir was believed to have said to him, he provided additional information in a second video that was uploaded to Instagram on Thursday, the day following the game.
Sreesanth said, “I just moved away but he kept on saying the same words again and again. I have no idea why he started it. It was the end of the over. I have no idea what made him say it.” “He kept on calling me on live TV, on the centre wicket.
I did not use a single bad word, a single abusive word to him. I only said ‘What are you saying?'” Sreesanth continued. ” I kept laughing sarcastically because he kept calling me, ‘Fixer, fixer, you are a fixer f*** off fixer.”
After the Supreme Court overturned Sreesanth’s sentence in 2019, the BCCI decided to shorten Sreesanth’s seven-year ban for his role in the 2013 IPL spot-fixing scandal. Sreesanth played ninety international matches for India in various formats between 2005 and 2011, and Gambhir was his team-mate in the starting XI for forty-nine of those matches. Together, they were part of the Indian teams that won the 2007 T20 World Cup and the 2011 ODI World Cup.
