'Are you above Supreme Court? even God won't forgive you'; Sreesanth comments under Gambhir's social media post

SURAT: Following the war of words with his former India teammate Gautam Gambhir during the Legends League Cup, former cricketer Sreesanth on Thursday reacted harshly against the former Indian opener. The former India pacer lashed out at Gambhir as he commented below the Instagram post shared by the latter. Sreesanth wrote that Gambhir exceeded the boundaries of a sportsman and that God will not forgive him.

The two former cricketers engaged in a verbal spat during the Legends League cricket match held at the Lalbhai Contractor Stadium in Surat the other day. Teammates and umpires had to intervene to stop both of them. The war of words between the two took place during the eliminator match between India Capitals and Gujarat Giants.

During the match, Sreesanth had stared at Gambhir after being hit for a six and a four by Gambhir. Angered by this, Gambhir repeatedly called Sreesanth a fixer. In a video posted on social media, Sreesanth also accused Gambhir of making obscene remarks against him and the umpires.

'You have exceeded the boundaries of a sportsman and a brother, and above all, you represent the people. Yet, you continue to engage in conflicts with every cricketer. What is the matter with you? All I did was smile and observe, and you labelled me a fixer? Seriously? Are you above the Supreme Court? You have no authority to speak in such a manner and say whatever you please. You even verbally abused the umpires, and yet you speak of smiling? You are an arrogant and utterly classless individual who lacks any form of respect for those who supported you. Until yesterday, I always held respect for you and your family. However, you used the derogatory term "fixer" not just once, but seven or eight times. You even resorted to using the F-word towards the umpires and myself, persistently trying to provoke me. Anyone who has experienced what I have endured would never forgive you. Deep down, you know that what you said and did was wrong. I'm sure even God won't forgive you. You didn't even come to the field after that..Come on, God is watching everything,' Sreesanth commented.
