Every cricket fan is well aware of the fact that Gautam Gambhir and Shahid Afridi are not on good terms with each other from their playing days. Both the players always try to make scathing attacks against each other. Recently, the former Indian opener lashed out on his counterpart for writing against him in his autobiography.

In 2019, Afridi launched his autobiography in which he wrote,” (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 wrote about Gambhir.

As soon as the 38-year-old came to know about the same. He took to his official Twitter handle and took a dig at Shahid Afridi’s age. The southpaw also reminded him well about his achievements. In the end, he concluded saying that he has an attitude towards the liars, opportunists and traitors.

Gambhir’s post read, “Someone who doesn’t remember his age how will he remember my records!OK, @SAfridiOfficial let me remind u one: 2007 T20 WC final, Ind Vs Pak Gambhir 75 off 54 balls Vs Afridi 0 off 1 ball. Most imp: We won the Cup. And yes, I’ve attitude towards liars, traitors & opportunists.
