New Delhi: Gautam Gambhir, Captain of Delhi team in day-night ODI match of the Vijay Hazare tournament, was spotted ignoring a handshake with Team India's ODI skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni.
It was a match between Delhi and Jharkhand in which Delhi comfortably beat Jharkhand by 99 runs. After the match ended, Gambhir was seen showing anger on Dhoni for the first time.
Shaking hands with your opponent is a tradition after game is finished, but Dhoni looked surprised with the Delhi skipper's behaviour and went ahead.
The video clearly shows Mahi extending a hand towards Gambhir and the latter rejecting the handshake. This behaviour has definitely raised many eyebrows.
Sportsmanship plays a vital role in the world of cricket in which shaking hands is not just a tradition but depicts the respect one has for their competitors.
Post the incident and the video going viral, social media users slammed Gambhir for his action.
This behaviour by Gambhir might put him in the bad books of cricket gurus as he disrespected a positive gesture of Jharkhand team's skipper MS Dhoni.
The footage clearly shows that Gambhir shocked all with his discourteous attitude after winning the quarter final match of the Vijay Hazare trophy.
This type of on-field practice is definitely going to tarnish the reputation of the 'Gentlemen's Game' and it also gives a bad instance in front of the youngsters, who admire star cricketers.
Here is the video:
