Sreesanth said in a video uploaded on his Instagram page, "I just wanted to clear the air with what happened with Mr. Fighter.” one who always fights with all his colleagues. for no reason whatsoever. He does not even respect his own senior players, including Viru Bhai. That's exactly what happened today. Without any provocation, he just kept on calling me something that was very rude, which shouldn't have been said by Mr. Gautam Gambhir.”
