The verbal exchange took a personal turn, with Sreesanth later taking to Instagram to shed light on the incident.
The disagreement unfolded during the LLC match, and while players and umpires intervened swiftly to prevent further escalation, it was S Sreesanth Instagram video that provided a glimpse into the intensity of the spat. In the video, the former India bowler alleged that Gautam Gambhir had used “something very rude” against him without any provocation.
S Sreesanth, in the video, expressed his disappointment over Gautam Gambhir’s behavior, stating, “For no reason whatsoever, he just kept on calling me something which was very rude, which shouldn’t have been said by Mr. Gautam Gambhir.” He went on to clarify that he was not at fault and emphasized his intention to bring to light what Gambhir had said during the on-field altercation.
The 40-year-old cricketer drew attention to Gambhir’s past spats with senior players, including Virat Kohli, and criticized his lack of respect for colleagues. He mentioned Gambhir’s tendency to divert discussions about Kohli in broadcasting, stating, “What’s the point of representing people if you don’t respect your own colleagues.”
