6 Times Gautam Gambhir was involved in an altercation

5. Gambhir – Shardul Thakur, Cuttack 2014-15:

Delhi lost to Mumbai in the Ranji Trophy 2014-15 quarterfinal at Cuttack. One of the highlights of the clash was the engrossing battle between pacer Shardul Thakur and Gambhir. Thakur was the in-form bowler and so Delhi chose to attack him while chasing 441. Led by their skipper, Delhi succeeded in removing him from the attack after scoring few boundaries off him but Thakur returned and trapped Gambhir for 34. Thakur, then unnecessarily directed some ‘verbal plesantries’ to the departing batsman. Angered by the comments he turned towards the bowler with a raised bat. Thakur was later reprimanded for his behaviour and fined 50% of his match fees. Gambhir walked scot-free.
