This is the second time in two weeks that Gambhir has been the talk of the town in world cricket. Last week, on Wednesday, he had allegedly called his former India teammate Sreesanth "fixer" during their Legends League Cricket match in Surat that lead to an ugly on-field scene, forcing the umpires to intervene. The spat later stretched to social media as well with Gambhir making a cryptic post before Sreesanth responded to it with a length reply.
Oragnisers of LLC later addressed the issue, saying that they will conduct an "internal investigation" and any proof of "misconduct" would be "dealt with strictly". The league is yet to reveal their findings and subsequently their action. “All players contracted in the Legends League Cricket are bound by certain terms related to misconduct and necessary action will be taken as per the codes of conduct laid down by the Code of Conduct and Ethics Committee,” LLC CEO Raman Raheja had said.
