I asked him what are you saying, and I kept laughing in a sarcastic way: S Sreesanth
After the match, Sreesanth stated, "I just wanted to clear some air about what happened with Mr fighter, who fights with all his colleagues for no reason whatsoever. He does not even respect his own senior players including Viru bhai (Virender Sehwag) and a lot of people. That is exactly what happened. Without any provocation, he kept on calling me something which is very rude. It should have been never said by Mr Gautam Gambhir."
Now he stated what Gambhir said, "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."
