Gambhir has often been associated with a  lot of controversies and there is no better example than the incidents in 2007 between Afridi and Gambhir to show the friendship between these two cricketers. It started off with Afridi mentioning Gambhir in his autobiography that read,

“(Gautam Gambhir) and his attitude problem. He has no personality. He, who is barely a character in the great scheme of cricket. He, who has no great records, just a lot of attitude. He, who behaves like he is a cross between Don Bradman and James Bond.” Afridi mentioned.

It did not go well with Gambhir certainly and he trolled Afridi for coming out of retirement often and also about the performances in the 2007 T20 Worldcup final.

“Someone who doesn’t remember his age how will he remember my records!OK, @SAfridiOfficial let me remind u one: 2007 T20 WC final, Ind Vs Pak Gambhir 75 off 54 balls Vs Afridi 0 off 1 ball. Most imp: We won the Cup. And yes, I’ve attitude towards liars, traitors & opportunists.” Gambhir tweeted which were very strong words too.

The reporter mocked India’s Paralympics performances of winning just four medals and Ashwin gave back the best from his side.

A Pakistani named Affan “@mufc_affanf9” tweeted, “1.2 billion population and just 4 medals. LOL” to troll the performance of India.

All the best brothers and sisters.” and there was a series of tweets going on after that.

This was one of those incidents when the former Indian opener had a hilarious reply for Akthar’s photo post on Twitter with his legendary teammates.

“Dream team .. Full of talent and characters ..1 of the best Pak team I ever played with” Shoaib Akthar captained underneath the picture and Sehwag replied, “Very good team Shoaib Bhai, many legends, but still couldn’t beat India in any World Cup.

Sehwag tweeted with the picture of India u-19 winning against Pakistan U-19  “Ab toh Aadat si hai” (We have the habit of doing this now). It certainly created havoc in social media and Sehwag has made it a habit of trolling the Pakistan players.
