New Delhi, May 4 (CRICKETNMORE)<\/strong> Former Pakistan all-rounder Shahid Afridi has been making headlines ever since his autobiography "Game Changer" released. Be it his views on Kashmir or "age" revelation, Afridi has created quite a stir.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

In his autobiography, Afridi has slammed Gautam Gambhir, saying the former Indian opener lacked personality and has an attitude problem.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

"Some rivalries were personal, some professional. First the curious case of Gambhir. Oh poor Gautam. He and his attitude problem," Afridi wrote in his book <\/p>\r\n\r\n

"He (Gautam) who 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."<\/p>\r\n\r\n

"In Karachi we call guys like him saryal (burnt up). Its simple, I like happy, positive people. Doesn't matter if they are aggressive or competitive, but you have to be positive and Gambhir wasn't," he adds.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Gambhir and Afridi didn't have a cordial relationship, both off and on the field. In 2007, the duo was booked for breaching the ICC Code of Conduct following a clash during an ODI match between India and Pakistan in Kanpur.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Speaking about the incident, Afridi said, "I remember the run-in with Gambhir during the 2007 Asia Cup, when he completed his single while running straight into me. The umpires had to finish it off or I would have. Clearly we had a frank bilateral discussion about each other's female relatives."<\/p>\r\n\r\n

On Saturday, Gambhir, who has now joined politics and is in fray in the ongoing Lok Sabha elections, hit back at Afridi, saying the former Pakistan cricketer is a hilarious man who needs to be taken to a psychiatrist.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

"Shahid Afridi you are a hilarious man!!! Anyway, we are still granting visas to Pakistanis for medical tourism. I will personally take you to a psychiatrist," Gambhir tweeted. <\/p>\r\n", "image": "https:\/\/img.cricketnmore.com\/uploads\/2019\/05\/gambhir-afridi.jpg", "alt_img": "Gambhir and Afridi ", "alt_title": "Gambhir and Afridi ", "image1": "", "video": "", "seo_title": "Gautam Gambhir invites Afridi for psycho analysis in India On Cricketnmore", "seo_desc": "New Delhi, May 4 (CRICKETNMORE) Former Pakistan all-rounder Shahid Afridi has been making headlines ever since his autobiography \"Game Changer\" released.
