Srinagar: Well known TV anchor and from DDCA President Rajat Sharma has continued with rift with former India cricketer Gautam Gambhir by taking a dig at former cricketer after Virat Kohli scored 63-ball 100-run vs SRH in the ongoing IPL on Thursday.
Rajat Sharma congratulated Kohli for his stunning 63-ball 100-run that helped RCB knock off SRH’s 187-run target with 8 balls to spare but he did not forget to take an indirect jibe at Gambhir.
“Magnificent 100 by Virat. It was a delight to watch. Of course, somebody somewhere may not be happy,” Sharma tweeted after SRH vs RCB match in Hyderabad.
Despite not taking names, everyone knew Rajat is referring to Gambhir in the latter part of his tweet.
This comes a couple of weeks after Gambhir had launched a no-holds-barred attack on Sharma.
“A man who ran away from the job of running Delhi Cricket, citing pressure seems over-eager to sell paid PR as concern for cricket! yahii kalyug’ hai jhaa ‘bhgodd’e’ apnii ‘adaalt’ chalaate hai (It is, perhaps, a testament to the times we are living in that a truant is running his own court).” Gambhir had tweeted.
Gambhir’s tweet was in response to Rajat Sharma’s show on India TV right after Gambhir’s feud with Kohli after an IPL match between RCB and LSG.
In his show, Sharma had criticised Gambhir for not behaving in an appropriate manner during the on-field fight with Kohli at Lucknow’s Ekana Stadium.
Meanwhile Virat Kohli scored 100 off 63 balls and shared 172 runs with captain Faf du Plessis (71) to help RCB chase down the target of 187 with four balls to spare for an eight-wicket win against Sunrisers Hyderabad.
RCB are one win away from ensuring a playoff berth.
