Afridi formally invites Gautam Gambhir for medical treatment in Pakistan
I think Gautam may have some problems. I am working with hospitals and I can get him treatment here.
(Web Desk) – As the verbal duel between Shahid Afridi and Gautam Gambhir doesn t seem to end anytime soon, former Pakistan captain Shahid Afridi has invited former India opener Gautam Gambhir for medical treatment in Pakistan.
“I think Gautam Gambhir may have some problems. I am working with hospitals and I can get him very good treatment here,” Afridi said.
“The Indian government doesn’t normally give visas to our people, but I will welcome everyone from India to Pakistan. Our people and our government have always welcomed Indians and as for Gautam, I will get a visa arranged so that his treatment can be done here,” Afridi added.
It all started when Afridi launched a vicious attack on Gambhir in his autobiography, terming him someone who has no personality and the one who has a lot of attitude problem.
Gambhir and Afridi didn’t have a cordial relationship, both off and on the field. In 2007, the duo was booked for breaching the ICC Code of Conduct following a clash during an ODI match between India and Pakistan in Kanpur.
Speaking about 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.”
On Saturday, Gambhir, who has now joined politics and is in fray in the ongoing Lok Sabha elections, hit back at Afridi, saying the former Pakistan cricketer is a hilarious man who needs to be taken to a psychiatrist.
“Shahid Afridi 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.
