Sreesanth vs Gautam Gambhir fight continues. Taking a dig at Gautam Gambhir’s cryptic social media post, Sreesanth has gone on to post a big reply. Sreesanth has charged the former India batter by claiming that the latter has ‘exceeded the boundaries of a sportsman’.
The duo was involved in a verbal altercation during the Legends League Cricket (LLC) clash between Gujarat Giants vs India Capitals. Sreesanth claimed that Gambhir had abused the former using derogatory term – ‘F*** off Fixer’ on Live TV.
“You have exceeded the boundaries of a sportsman and a brother, and above all, you represent the people. Yet, you continue to engage in conflicts with every cricketer. What is the matter with you? All I did was smile and observe, and you labeled me a fixer? Seriously? Are you above the Supreme Court? You have no authority to speak in such a manner and say whatever you please. You even verbally abused the umpires, and yet you speak of smiling?
You are an arrogant and utterly classless individual who lacks any form of respect for those who supported you. Until yesterday, I always held respect for you and your family. However, you used the derogatory term “fixer” not just once, but seven or eight times. You even resorted to using the F-word towards the umpires and myself, persistently trying to provoke me. Anyone who has experienced what I have endured would never forgive you. Deep down, you know that what you said and did was wrong. Im sure even God wont forgive you.
You didn’t even come to the field aftwr that..Come on, God is watching everything,” wrote Sreesanth on Gambhir’s social media post.
Sreesanth has claimed that he used to respect Gambhir for a long time. But when Gambhir labeled the former pacer as a fixer, Sreesanth lost all respect for the former. The formerly accused bowler even went on to give a befitting reply by asking ‘Are you above the Supreme Court? You have no authority to speak in such a manner and say whatever you please?
As the war of words continues between the two former India cricketers, the Legends League Cricket has claimed that they will carry out an internal inquiry on the matter.
