After the match, Sreesanth took to social media, going live to address the incident and provide insights into the exchange.

Sreesanth further disclosed that Gambhir continued to use foul language even after the umpires intervened, making the exchange more unsavory.

He explained,” I asked him what are you saying, and i kept laughing in a sarcastic way, and he kept calling me a fixer, fixer, fixer.”
Gambhir even used foul language and Sreeanth emphasized on it and said, “he even kept saying F**k off fixer.”
