“Someone Who Doesn’t Remember his Age How will he Remember my Records” Gautam Gambhir on Shahid Afridi

Published 04/18/2020, 12:03 PM EDT

Gautam Gambhir slammed the Pakistan all-rounder Shahid Afridi on twitter today. The two cricketers have always been at loggerheads.

Gambhir’s reaction came after Afridi questioned the Indian cricketer’s frivolous attitude in his memoir, Gamechanger. Shahid Afridi accused Gambhir of having a big ego despite not playing any valuable innings for India. He also said that he enjoyed sledging Gambhir and Shane Warne on the field because of how they reacted to his sledging.

Referring to Gautam Gambhir, Afridi said, “(Gautam Gambhir) and his attitude problem. He, who has no personality. He, who is barely a character in the great scheme of cricket. Gambhir, who has no great records, just a lot of attitude. He, who behaves like he’s a cross between Don Bradman and James Bond.”
