“I just wanted to clear some air about what happened with Mr fighter, who fights with all his collagues for no reason whatsoever. He does not even respect his own senior players including Viru bhai (Virender Sehwag) and a lot of people. That is exactly what happened. Without any provocation, he kept on calling me something which is very rude. It should have been never said by Mr Gautam Gambhir,” Sreesanth could be heard saying within the video.
