Two Indian World Cup winning members, S Sreesanth and Gautam Gambhir both got engaged in the eye staring against each other during the Eliminator match of the Legends League Cricket.
Later Sreesanth posted an instagram video where he revealed the whole story and said that Gambhir didn’t respect his colleagues and fights were unnecessary.
The match was between India Capitals and Gujarat Giants in which India Capitals won the match by 12 runs. Skipper Gautam Gambhir made a brilliant 51 runs innings due to which his team was able to post 223/7 in 20 overs and Sreesanth got 1/35 in 3 overs and in reply Gujarat Giants managed 211/7 in 20 overs. Chris Gayle made a fantastic 84 runs during the chase.
The incident occurred during the batting of Capitals where Gambhir hit 1 six and 1 four to his World Cup winning member. After that both of them stare at each other for a little while.
6… 4… Showdown! Watch till the end for Gambhir 👀 Sreesanth.

Then afterwards Sreesanth revealed the whole incident after the game which happened during the match and said,
“Thank you very much for all the support by legends and unfortunately we lost and thank you for all the love. Just wanted to clear all the air about what happened with Mr Fighter who always fights with his colleagues for no reason whatsoever. He doesn’t even respect his senior players, including Viru (Virender Sehwag) bhai.
That’s exactly what happened today. Without any provocation he stepped on calling me something which is very rude and which shouldn’t have been said by Mr Gautam Gambhir. So I just want to tell you all that there is surely something because I am not all at fault, I just wanted to clear the air straight away but Mr Gauti (Gautam Gambhir) has done this.
Sooner or later you all will get to know the words which he used and things he said on a cricket field live, is not acceptable. Please do support me. I have gone through so much with my family and everybody so much and I have won that battle with all your support. People want to down me for no reason, even though the team is doing well and even though I am giving my very best , he said things which he shouldn’t have said.
I will surely let you know what he said and now see we are at the presentation where he is talking. What’s the point of representing people if you don’t respect your own colleagues?
Even in life, broadcasting when he was asked about Virat, he never speaks about him, he speaks about something else. I don’t want to go further in detail, just want to say I’m very hurt and my family is hurt, my dear ones are hurt and the way he said things I just want to say I haven’t used a single bad word or a single abuse, nothing.
He just kept on saying words which he always does. So I just want to say lots of love and thank you very much.”
