Two big Indian cricket team stars – Gautam Gambhir and Sreesanth – were involved in a heated argument during a Legends League Cricket (LLC) match. Both stars have been teammates in the past. They were key members of the Indian cricket teams that won the 2007 T20 World Cup and the 2011 ODI World Cup. However, when Gautam Gambhir, playing for India Capitals, faced Sreesanth, playing for Gujarat Giants, there was a spark on Wednesday. Sreesanth looked at Gautam Gambhir for a long time as he was pushed to his limits, and the latter also stared back. Then the two were quite angry with each other again.
After the match, Sreesanth posted an Instagram video, saying that Gautam Gambhir always gets into fights with his colleagues and he would soon reveal what the former Indian cricket team opener actually said.
Now a new video has surfaced while the fight between Gautam Gambhir and Sreesanth was taking place. The video shows that the two players had to be separated when the two stars almost collided.
Emotions always run high when you are very passionate about your playing.

On Thursday, in another Instagram video, Sreesanth alleged that Gautam Gambhir called him a 'fixer'.
“I didn't use a single bad word or a single insulting word against him. I just said, 'What are you saying? What are you saying, what do you mean?” In fact, I kept laughing in a sarcastic way because he kept calling me 'Fixer, fixer, you're a fixer, F*** off fixer'. This is the language that was used. ” Sreesanth said in an Instagram post. “When they tried to control him, he kept calling me fixer.”
Sreesanth was previously arrested for allegedly being involved in spot-fixing in the 2013 IPL. He served a height ban and subsequently made a comeback to domestic cricket in 2021.
After the match, Sreesanth uploaded a video on Instagram in which he railed against Gautam Gambhir.
“I just wanted to clear the air about what happened to Mr. Fighter. Someone who always fights with all his colleagues. For no reason at all. He doesn't even respect his own senior players including Viru Bhai. That's exactly what happened today happened. Without any form of criticism.” As a provocation, he kept calling me something which was very rude and should not have been said by Mr Gautam Gambhir,” Sreesanth said in a video uploaded on his Instagram page.
Sreesanth added that his family has been through a lot.
'I'm not at fault here at all. I just wanted to clear the air right away. What Mr. Gauti has done, you will all come to know sooner or later. The words he used and the things he said on a cricket field, life, is not acceptable. My family, my state, everyone has been through so much. I fought that battle with all your support. Now people want to put me down for no reason. He said things he shouldn't have said. I will definitely let you know what he said,” Sreesanth said.
