New Delhi, India: Gautam Gambhir who is currently busy in campaigns for Lok Sabha elections tagged Shahid Afridi in his recent tweet saying: “I will personally take you to a psychiatrist.”
Gautam Gambhir who is currently busy in campaigns for Lok Sabha elections a BJP candidate for East Delhi is busy campaigning for Lok Sabha elections, however, he tagged Shahid Afridi in his recent tweet saying: “I will personally take you to a psychiatrist.”
The reason for that is, Pakistan Captain Shahid Afridi launched a scathing attack on Gambhir in his autobiography ‘Game Changer’ saying that the former Indian opener had an “attitude problem” and was “full of negativity” in his sporty days.
Replying to Afridi’s revelations in his autobiography, Gambhir offered him a visit to a psychiatrist saying, “India is still granting visas to Pakistanis for medical tourism. I will personally take you to a psychiatrist.”
“Oh, poor Gautam. He and his attitude problem,” Afridi writes. “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 or something. In Karachi, we call guys like him ‘saryal’, burnt up.”
“I remember that run-in with him during the 2007 Asia Cup, when he completed his single while running straight into me. The umpires had to finish it off or I would have. Clearly, we had a frank bilateral discussion about each other’s female relatives. Whatever. Gambhir doesn’t matter.”
The incident that Afridi is reffering to is not of Asia Cup but actually the third ODI between India and Pakistan in Kanpur in November 2007. In the ODI, Gambhir and Afridi came head-to-head and both were fined for breaching the ICC Code of Conduct.
The book goes on to add, “Gautam Gambhir was my favourite sledging victim at one point just because of the way he talked back.”
“@SAfridiOfficial you are a hilarious man!!! Anyway, we are still granting visas to Pakistanis for medical tourism. I will personally take you to a psychiatrist.”
