The intense rivalry between former Indian cricketer Gautam Gambhir and former Pakistani cricketer Shahid Afridi doesn’t seem to end anytime soon. Both the stalwarts had a go at each other on the cricketing field during their playing days when India locked horns with Pakistan.
Though both of them retired from the game a long time ago, the two former cricketers have been exchanging blows on social media platforms even now and have also taken the rivalry to the next level. There have been several instances where both players mocked at each other.
Recently, Shahid Afridi mocked Gautam Gambhir for his attitude, adding that he has no personality. In Shahid Afridi’s autobiography, Afridi had pointed at Gambhir for his nationalistic tweets where he claimed that Gautam Gambhir doesn’t hold many significant records.
“(Gautam Gambhir) and his attitude problem. He, who has no personality. He, who is barely a character in the great scheme of cricket. He has no great records, just a lot of attitude. He behaves like he’s a cross between Don Bradman and James Bond,” Shahid Afridi penned down in his autobiography.
