‘F**k off fixer’ - Sreesanth reveals Gautam Gambhir’s sledging during LLC 2023

During the Eliminator match between India Capitals and Gujarat Giants in the ongoing Legends League Cricket (LLC), former cricketers Gautam Gambhir and S Sreesanth got involved in a heated spat during the first innings. The umpire and the players onfield separated the duo but the matter didn’t end there. After the completion of the match in Surat, Sreensath shared a video on his social media stating that Gambhir used abusive language on the cricket field and mentioned that the former cricketer doesn’t respect his seniors or colleagues.

However, he didn’t reveal what exactly Gambhir said during the match. The 40-year-old stated that he would do it sooner or later. However, on the next morning (December 7), Sreesanth gave more clarity to the matter during an Instagram Live and stated that Gambhir kept on saying ‘F**k off fixer’ even when he didn’t say a single word to him.

“Yesterday I didn’t say what he called me. Ke kept on.. His PR is obviously.. where he is from and the kind of money he can spend. I am just a normal person. I fight my battles alone with the support of my family, dear ones, and all of your support. Just wanted to say that he kept on calling me on live television, in front of the center wicket. I have not said a single bad word. 

"Not even used a single abusive word to him. I only said, ‘What are you saying?’ In fact, I kept laughing in a sarcastic way because he kept calling me ‘fixer, fixer, you are a fixer’. Forgive my language but  ‘F**k off fixture’. This is the language he used in live. Even he told the umpires the same language when they were trying to control him,” Sreesanth revealed.

Meanwhile, Gautam Gambhir hit 51 runs as India Capitals posted 223 runs on board in the first innings. In reply, Gujarat scored 211 runs as the Capitals won the match by 12 runs and moved to Qualifier 2, where they will face Manipal Tigers.

On the very next morning, the 40-year-old mentioned that Gambhir had sledged him saying, ‘F**k off fixer’, which caused a heated spat between the two.
