Shahid Afridi slammed former India opener Gautam Gambhir by terming him as someone who has no personality and who has a lot of attitude problem in his recently released autobiography ‘Game Changer’. Afridi’s autobiography has been in the news as the former Pakistan captain revealed his actual age in it.

Referring to his rivalry with Gambhir as personal, Afridi went on to launch a no holds barred attack on the former India opener. “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.”

Afridi further went on to add that Gambhir’s attitude cannot be termed as competitive, in fact, he was full of negativity during his playing days.

“Gambhir behaves like he’s a cross between Don Bradman & James Bond. In Karachi we call guys like him saryal (burnt up). Its 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 in his autobiography.

 

It all started back in 2007 when Afridi and Gambhir were involved in a bitter spat during an India vs Pakistan ODI in Kanpur. Both were fined for breaching the ICC Code of Conduct . Reacting on the incident, Afridi said, “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.”

The guy tried to be funny here but that is the most bizarre thing I've heard any cricketer (also an ex-captain)  say.

the only way to sell ur biography in pakistan- abuse indian cricketer 

 

Akthar did same. even though i agreed with him on "sachin can be ur god not mine " but saying "sachin was shivering against me" to much . Same akthar said for money while doing commentary on indian tv "Sachin se maar khaana to sabab tha"

 

I can understand paddy upton saying but how did afridi come to such conclusion

He was critical of Gambhir before as well though it's funny that it was Indo-Pak bilateral series in 2007 not Asia cup plus Gambhir made it count in the finals twice in 2007 and 2011. Find it funny that Afridi claims Gambhir carries attitude despite achieving nothing.

Gambhir has achieved more than Afridi who was nothing but a pinch hitter who can bowl a bit. Gambhir played crucial knocks in 07 and 11 WC. Afridi carries resentment into his autobiography and calls Gambhir as "negative". Look who is talking. He will be forever known as the ball biting and pitch tampering champ he was. Gambhir lives rent free in Afridis mind :laugh:

Gambhir avgs close to 42 in tests as compared to Afretard’s 27 and has a better record to hackridi in ODI’s too. Played a great knock in a WC final..WTF is Afridi blabbering about ?

BC ..Afretard ..Saamne Mat aana mere..:mad:

Afridi looks like has some personal score to settle with Ghambir, otherwise "Anti-India " slogan does not sell in Pakistan.
