Pallekelle: Former Indian cricketer Gautam Gambhir criticized the sharing of friendship between the players of the two teams when the India-Pakistan match in the Asia Cup was interrupted by rain. In a discussion on Star Sports, Gambhir said that the friendship between the players is enough outside the boundary and don’t forget that the Indian team is playing on behalf of 140 crore Indians.
There is no need for friendship with opponents when playing for the country. We need to fight face to face. All friendship should be kept out. After playing cricket for six or seven hours, you can become friends if you want. But not during the game. Because you represent crores of people in the country on the ground. Nowadays, players are seen knocking each other out, congratulating each other and making jokes on the ground. A few years ago, none of this would have been possible.
There is nothing they can do to face him, the former Prime Minister of Pakistan is hiding against Kohli and Rohit
I am close friend with former Pakistan player Kamran Akmal. He and I were gifted the bat by him. I played an entire season with the bat he gave me. Even recently I had talked to him for hours.
Gambhir is very clear about the basics of game and how cricket should be played. Stop giving smooches to opponents. I think those playing for their images should stay only in Dugout during
That’s why

There is nothing wrong with players sledgehammering each other during a match, but it should not get personal. Gambhir said that no family members should be dragged into it and that sledging is common in matches against Pakistan and Australia.
