Former Indian fast bowler S Sreesanth has opened up about his nasty feud with his former teammate and current head coach Gautam Gambhir after making a bold claim on Vaibhav Suryavanshi.
Nearly three years after the heated clash in Legends League Cricket (LLC), Sreesanth has brought the old controversy back into the limelight with sensational claims.
S Sreesanth took a direct hit at the current India head coach and shared that Gambhir used to be a different person when they first played together, but he changed with time.
Aren’t you ashamed Gauti Bhai: S Sreesanth hits out at Gautam Gambhir
Recently, S Sreesanth revealed that he was shocked by Gautam Gambhir’s behavior during their infamous on-field confrontation in Legends League cricket and claimed that their relationship had completely changed after that ugly fight.
The World Cup winner has asked Gambhir to have some “shame” as he fights with “kids”. Although Sreesanth acknowledged Gambhir’s success as India’s World Cup-winning head coach, he also made a scathing attack on his attitude by saying that he prefers to stick to his words rather than change his position like his former teammate.
Sreesanth recalled on ABP News, “Gouti Bhai, don’t you feel ashamed, fighting with kids? I used to call Gauti Bhai a tiger when he used to water us in 2006. A lot has changed since then. Everyone loves U-turns. But I mostly take straight roads. I don’t take U-turns. All I can say is, Gauti Bhai, God bless you. You won the World Cup for us as a coach. At least you did something.”
S Sreesanth has revived Gautam Gambhir’s controversy by making shocking allegations on Legends Cricket League clash.
The former Kerala fast bowler alleged that Gautam Gambhir had misbehaved with a worker of his own party when he was a member of Parliament. Sreesanth said that he was surprised by such behavior and claimed that he had simply asked Gambhir if everything was okay before the situation escalated.
Recalling the famous Legends League cricket encounter, Sreesanth said that he was in excellent physical condition, so he was surprised by Gambhir’s aggressive reaction in showing him the bat.
Sreesanth further said, “Well, there are two sides to the coin. The language he used in the retired players’ league. Again, I don’t know why. Gautam Gambhir was the BJP MP in Delhi at that time. He misbehaved with his own worker. Isn’t Gauti Bhai ashamed? I just asked him, “Are you okay?” Obviously, I was much bigger. At that time, I was 95 kg with 6.5% fat. And I was reprimanded. Because I was doing films then. When I played after retirement, I was thinking, how dare you show me the bat?
Look Sreesanth said, ‘Not ashamed, Gautam Gambhir fights with children’

Gautam Gambhir-Sreesanth accident
The incident happened during the Legends League Cricket Eliminator between India Capitals and Gujarat Giants. Gambhir hit a six and a four on Sreesanth in the beginning of the innings.
After the fast bowler bowled a dot ball, both players glared at each other before the argument escalated into a heated confrontation in the middle of the pitch.
The situation became so serious that the umpires and other players had to separate the two. After the match, Sreesanth accused Gambhir of repeatedly misbehaving with him on the field despite not being provoked. He alleged that Gambhir repeatedly called him a “fixer” and a “traitor” and used the “F-word”.
