Ahmed Shehzad has recently spoken up regarding the recent verbal war between Virat Kohli and Gautam Gambhir. He believes that the former Indian captain should be respected for being a legend of the sport, and was unimpressed by Gambhir's excuses for the fight.
Shehzad remarked on the incident after IPL 2023 game between the Lucknow Super Giants and Royal Challengers Bangalore. Both Kohli and Gambhir were fined 100 per cent of their match fees after their heated argument, which stemmed from an earlier incident with Naveen-ul-Haq. This wasn't the first time the Delhi-born cricketers had a similar episode, as this had already happened during IPL 2013.
The Pakistani opener lashed out at Gambhir's jealousy of Kohli, stating that it was baffling to see him target a player of his own country. Shehzad stated that Kohli's success and respect should be appreciated, instead of creating something out of jealousy.
Shehzad also commented that Gambhir should act better, and should apologize to Kohli instead of giving excuses. He believes that if you are truly a big player or big at heart, this shouldn't be the way one behaves. He concluded by saying that he had never seen a staff from the management jump in a tiff between two players.
Kohli will be next seen during the West Indies tour, starting on July 12th in Dominica. Let's hope that the Indian captain can put this incident behind him and perform up to his usual standards.
