S. Sreesanth caused a sensation on social media following the match with an odd celebratio. The Manipal Tigers surprised the India Capitals by six wickets in a one-sided match during the Legends League Cricket 2023 (LLC 2023). The captain’s run-out for 10 runs in his final game was nevertheless the real drama of the match. Amitoze Singh made an accurate throw at cover point as Gambhir attempted a fast single, catching the seasoned player short of the crease.
With two half-centuries and 144 runs from six matches, Gambhir’s tournament career came to an end with just ten runs off five balls. In the midst of their continuous spat, the fast bowler congratulated the fielder on his run-out by sharing a screenshot of the incident on his Instagram story. “Beautiful Throw, Well Done Amitoze” was written on his Instagram story that he had shared.
Sreesanth claimed that Gambhir had called him a fixer, which sparked the enmity between the two players. The participants’ verbal sparring on many platforms, including that of Sreesanth’s wife, increased the tension.
Sreesanth charged Gambhir with going too far in the spirit of brotherhood and sportsmanship, which resulted in a tense altercation off the field. Nevertheless, Gambhir made the decision to keep quiet about the controversy throughout the match in order to concentrate on talking about his team’s performance at the post-game presentation.
Sreesanth, you have gone above and beyond what is expected of a brother and a sportsman.
Following the release of Sreesanth’s video, Gambhir posted a picture of himself wearing an Indian jersey with the words, “Smile when the world is all about attention!” It appeared that the caption was a subliminal poke at Sreesanth’s worsening circumstances.
Sreesanth remarked on the post, saying, “You represent the people above and beyond your limits as a brother and a sportsman. Nevertheless, you still argue with every cricketer. Why are you acting this way? You called me a fixer when all I did was watch and smile. Is that right? Is the Supreme Court beneath you? You have no right to say anything you want or to speak in such a way. You even used foul language at the umpires, and you talk about smiling? You have no regard for the people who helped you; you are a haughty, completely uncultured person.”
“You and your family have always had my respect, up until yesterday. On the other hand, you called someone a “fixer” seven or eight times. In your constant attempt to agitate me, you even went so far as to curse at the umpires and me. Nobody could ever forgive you for what I have gone through. You know in your heart that what you said and did was improper. God, I’m sure, will not pardon you. After that, you never made it to the field at all. God is watching everything, so come on,” remarked the forty-year-old.
