Gautam Gambhir and S Sreesanth battle

The second season of the Legends League Cricket (LLC) was another successful venture where we saw all our favourite players in the past. However, even the most successful tournaments have some hiccups which was displayed in the eliminator between India Capitals and Gujarat Giants. Once again it was a rift between two controversial players Gautam Gambhir and S Sreesanth on the field.

Apart from the controversy both these players have had their fair share of success as well. Sreesanth and Gambhir were even part of the India World Cup squad of 2011 and the T20 World Cup of 2007 which were successful ventures for Indian Cricket. We all thought this was a forgive-and-forget moment for the players which took a whole new level, leaving the fans speechless at the turn of events. where a lot of bold claims were made by Sreesanth, who was unhappy with Gambhir's behaviour during that onfield drama.

Sreesanth had made claims that Gambhir had verbally abused him and called him a fixer. This was a long message on Gambhir’s previous post of an image of him smiling. The former India pacer stated “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? 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 labelled 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.”  he further stated “ Until yesterday, I always held respect for you and your family,”

Gambhir chooses not to respond

Gambhir was questioned on this issue in a recent issue during an event supporting the young generation. Gambhir avoided the question saying “ See, I don’t have anything to say about this thing, I have arrived here for a noble cause, to see young players, to give young players the platform to make themselves, their families, their state, and their nation proud in an honest manner, that’s very important for me”. Gambhir was quoted as saying by Sports Tiger.

With this statement, Gambhir chooses to steer clear from any response or statement regarding Sreesanth and keeps his calm, but the Drama between these two World Cup winners has not come to any conclusion with Sreesanth is still firm on his statement regarding Gambhir. The cricketing world will be hoping that the two ex-India players will settle their differences as soon as possible.
