Pakistan opening batter Ahmed Shehzad stated that Gautam Gautam made a mistake by engaging in a verbal spat with Virat Kohli in the recently concluded Indian Premier League (IPL). Ahmed Shahzad emphasized that Gautam Gambhir should apologise to his former teammate Virat Kohli.

Gautam Gambhir and Virat Kohli were involved in a heated exchange following the IPL 2023 league stage match between the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) and Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in Lucknow. Virat and Gambhir were fined 100 percent of their match fees for their on-field argument.

He Gave Away His Man Of The Match Award To Him – Ahmed Shehzad

During an appearance on the Nadir Ali podcast, Ahmed Shehzad recalled Gautam Gambhir’s gesture of sharing his Man of the Match award with Virat Kohli in a match against Sri Lanka in 2009.

“See this is not my work, but I am giving my opinion only because you have asked me. I might be wrong. From the outside, I think it is Gambhir’s mistake. If he wants to show his nobility, Gautam Gambhir should call Virat Kohli on his phone and apologize,” Ahmed Shehzad said.
