His jealousy towards Virat Kohli\u2019s fame could be seen clearly. Virat Kohli is someone who always remains aggressive and doesn\u2019t tolerate any nonsense and hence, he gave a befitting reply to Gautam Gambhir. But overall, Gambhir\u2019s behaviour was against sportsmanship and it doesn\u2019t suit a former player or a member of Parliament. Such incidents spoil the spirit of cricket and hence, this shouldn\u2019t have happened.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<div class=\"group w-full text-gray-800 dark:text-gray-100 border-b border-black\/10 dark:border-gray-900\/50 bg-gray-50 dark:bg-[#444654]\">\n<div class=\"flex p-4 gap-4 text-base md:gap-6 md:max-w-2xl lg:max-w-xl xl:max-w-3xl md:py-6 lg:px-0 m-auto\">\n<div class=\"relative flex flex-col w-[calc(100%-50px)] gap-1 md:gap-3 lg:w-[calc(100%-115px)]\">\n<div class=\"flex flex-grow flex-col gap-3\">\n<div class=\"min-h-[20px] flex flex-col items-start gap-4 whitespace-pre-wrap break-words\">\n<div class=\"markdown prose w-full break-words dark:prose-invert light\">\n<p>Gambhir used his Twitter account on Wednesday to respond to Sharma\u2019s remarks indirectly, and accused him of promoting public relations under the guise of journalism.
