Overview
- Former India pacer S Sreesanth gave a detailed interview on Lallantop on June 19–20, 2026 in which he repeated and expanded claims about a December 2023 on‑field altercation with Gautam Gambhir.
- Sreesanth says Gambhir reacted after he bowled a bouncer, using phrases such as “I own you,” repeatedly calling him a “fixer,” and labeling him “Deshdrohi,” and that Gambhir used the f‑word during the exchange.
- The dispute occurred during a Legends League Cricket friendly match and the new account was widely reported by Indian outlets, but no independent corroboration of Sreesanth’s new details has been published.
- Sreesanth also taunted both Gambhir and Harbhajan Singh with an invitation to a ring fight, a remark that escalates the personal tone of the public row between former teammates.
- The claims land on Gambhir while he serves as India’s head coach after major tournament wins, and they recall Sreesanth’s 2013 IPL spot‑fixing case; Gambhir has not publicly responded and no formal probe has been reported.
