Former India cricket stars Shanthakumaran Sreesanth and Gautam Gambhir are embroiled in a bitter spat, which is making headlines in India right now.
Amid the escalating war of words, Sreesanth introduced a surprising twist by involving Virat Kohli in his recent social media post.
Sreesanth claimed that Gambhir is an "arrogant, and utterly classless individual", who does not even spare the likes of Kohli while mocking them during television debates or on social media.
"What's the point of representing people if you don't respect your own colleagues? Even in live broadcasting when he is asked about Virat, he never speaks about him, he speaks about something else," the former India pacer said in a video posted on a social network.
This isn't the first time Gambhir has been slammed for his criticism of Kohli.
The former India captain's supporters have often taken potshots at Gambhir for not recognizing Kohli's enormous contribution to the sport in the South Asian nation.
For example, the cricketer-turned-parliamentarian was not highly appreciative of Kohli's batting approach during the 2023 ICC World Cup, especially during a match against South Africa.
Meanwhile, the war of words between Sreesanth and Gambhir continued to hog the limelight in India, with the two players finding a place among the top trending topics on Twitter, now X.
Besides, Sreesanth continued to reveal shocking details of their ugly altercation, disclosing that Gambhir called him a "fixer" before the latter took an indirect swipe at the former through a cryptic post.
