Former India pacer S. Sreesanth has applauded former India teammate Gautam Gambhir, referring to him as a really sweet person. Sharing in detail about the ex-India opener’s personality, Sreesanth added that while Gambhir seems to be a very serious person, he is actually someone who loves jokes and movies as well.

During a candid interaction on Sportskeeda, Sreesanth said, “Trust me, he is one of the really sweetest persons and he is one of the guys who will support you. It doesn’t matter whether when you against him, he doesn’t really bother much. Now, as a politician, he has got so much to do, not just for his family and friends, but the country also. Obviously, he has to put on that serious face, but he loves jokes, he loves movies, loves his family to the core. He loves his friends. There is so much to say.”

Sreesanth also applauded Gautam Gambhir for his dedication towards cricket, sharing how he made full use of the opportunity that came his way after a long wait. However, Gambhir played 58 Tests, 147 ODIs, and 37 T20Is for India, scoring over 10000 runs as well.

“Around 2005-06, he was performing, but the chance which he deserved, he did not get. But, once he got, he became undroppable. No one could question his place because he was so focused. He is like that horse who is focused on the race,” Gautam Gambhir concluded. “I loved his aggression. A lot of people took him in a different way. If today I have to give an advice to Sree, continue being the same. You don’t need to change for what people talk about you. I think you should be comfortable with what you are. You don’t have to bother about what media says. I loved that aggression and I will continue to love that.”
