BJP MP on Saturday (April 18) took to social media to hit back at Afridi's recent comments where the former skipper questioned India cricketer's frivolous attitude in his autobiography.
Former international cricketers Gautam Gambhir and Shahid Afridi have once again got involved in a war of words.
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP on Saturday (April 18) took to social media to hit back at Afridi's recent comments where the former skipper questioned India cricketer's frivolous attitude in his autobiography.
Afridi, in his post autobiography, had said that he used to love playing against Gautam Gambhir and Shane Warne the most because of how they reacted to sledding.
"(Gautam Gambhir) and his attitude problem. He, who has no personality. He, who is barely a character in the great scheme of cricket. He, who has no great records, just a lot of attitude. He, who behaves like he’s a cross between Don Bradman and James Bond," Shahid said while speaking about Gambhir.
However, his comments were picked up many publications due to the dearth of live-action amid COVID-19 lockdown.
1. Gambhir hits back!
Reacting to these comments, Gambhir took to Twitter and claimed that he has an attitude towards liars, traitors, and opportunists.
"Someone who doesn't remember his age how will he remember my records! ok. Shahid Afridi let me remind you one: 2007 T20 WC final, Ind vs Pak Gambhir 75 off 54 balls vs Afridi 0 off 1 ball. Most important: We won the Cup. And yes, I’ve attitude towards liars, traitors & opportunists," Gambhir wrote.

2. The match!
In the match, Gambhir had also slammed a six on Afridi's ball.
India had defeated Pakistan in the inaugural edition of the ICC T20 World Cup final by five runs.
Afridi, however, is yet to respond to Gautam's comments.
