"F off Fixer…": Sreesanth reveals shocking on-air abuse made by Gautam Gambhir

Former Indian pacer S Sreesanth revealed abusive words made by Gautam Gambhir after an altercation broke out between both of them during the Eliminator of the Legends League Cricket 2023 on Wednesday, December 6 at the Lalabhai Contractor Stadium in Surat.

 

 

 

 

The incident took place after India Capitals opted to bat first against the Gujarat Giants. When Gambhir was batting, he was involved in a heated argument with Sreesanth, after which the umpires had to intervene to restore sanity to proceedings.

 

After the end of the game, which the Capitals won by 12 runs, Sreesanth slammed Gambhir for provoking him without any reason. Slamming him for not respecting his colleagues, Sreesanth said that he is deeply hurt by what Gambhir said.

 

 

“Just wanted to clear some air on what happened with Mr. Fighter, who always fights with all his colleagues for no reason whatsoever. He doesn’t even respect his own senior players, including Viru bhai and a lot of people. That’s exactly what happened today. Without any provocation, he just kept on calling me, something which is very rude and something which should not have been said by Mr. Gautam Gambhir.

“So, I just want to tell you all that I am not at all at fault. I just wanted to clear the air straight away. Sooner or later you’ll get to know what Gauti has done. The words which he used and the things he said on a cricket field live are not acceptable,” Sreesanth said after the match.

“He said things which he should not have said, and I just want all of you to know that I will surely let you all know what he said. What’s the point of representing people if you don’t respect colleagues?

“Even in live when he is asked about Virat (Kohli), he never speaks about him and speaks about something else. I don’t want to go further in detail. Just want to say I am very hurt, my family is hurt, and my dear ones are hurt. I never abused him, but he kept on saying words, which he always does,” he added.

 

In yet another shocking revelation made by Sreesanth in a live session on Instagram, he claimed that Gautam Gambhir repetitively called him "Fixer" and "F*** off Fixer".

 

 

The use of such derogatory language on live television has ignited discussions about the need for sportsmanship and respectful conduct on and off the field.

 

Amid this Gambhir took to Twitter to post a cryptic tweet that read, “Smile when the world is all about attention!” The tweet left fans puzzled and sparked speculation about the underlying meaning, considering the recent spat with Sreesanth.
