The former Team India opener and now a politician for BJP, Gautam Gambhir has strongly reacted to the criticism of former Pakistan skipper Shahid Afridi.

The former opener taking to his official twitter account has said that he is ready to take Afridi psychiatrist in India.

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

Afridi in his just-released autobiography ‘Game Changer’ had sarcastically referred to Gambhir as someone who “behaves like a cross between Don Bradman and James Bond,” and has a “lot of attitude and no great records”.

The duo never shared a great rapport on and off-the-field and it was reflected in Afridi’s take on Gambhir.

Describing his relation with Gambhir in his autobiography Afridi said, “ Some rivalries were personal, some professional. First the curious case of Gambhir. Oh poor Gautam. He & his attitude problem. He 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”.

“Gambhir behaves like he’s a cross between Don Bradman & James Bond. In Karachi, we call guys like him saryal (grumpy). It’s simple, I like happy, positive people. Doesn’t matter if they are aggressive or competitive, but you have to be positive & Gambhir wasn’t,” he further wrote.

“I remember the run-in with Gambhir during the 2007 Asia Cup, when he completed his single while running straight into me. The umpires had to finish it off or I would have. Clearly we had a frank bilateral discussion about each other’s female relatives,” Afridi while recalling his stand-off with Gambhir said.
