‘No personality’ Gambhir hits back, invites ‘hilarious’ Afridi to India

Cricket, the game of gentlemen has its own share of some ungentlemanly rivalries, the tussle between Pakistan all rounder Shahid Afridi and former Indian opening batsman Gautam Gambhir is one such rivalry.

The two continued to exchange blows despite retiring from the game, as Gambhir fired back at Afridi for some of the comments made in the Pakistani cricketer newly released autobiography "Game Changer".

“Shahid Afridi you are a hilarious man!!! Anyway, we are still granting visas to Pakistanis for medical tourism. I will personally take you to a psychiatrist,” tweeted Gambhir.

@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.

The reaction comes after Shahid Afridi, in his autobiography, accused the former India opener of having an "attitude problem" and "no personality."

"Some rivalries were personal, some professional. First the curious case of Gambhir. Oh poor Gautam. He and his attitude problem," Afridi wrote in his book

"He (Gautam) 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."

"In Karachi we call guys like him saryal (burnt up). Its simple, I like happy, positive people. Doesn't matter if they are aggressive or competitive, but you have to be positive and Gambhir wasn't," adds Afridi.
