Reportedly former indian cricketer gautam gambhir has become the talk of the town following his explosive clash with ex-pacer S Sreesanth. However, the online chatter has taken an unexpected turn. It’s not about the heated exchange but rather Gambhir’s surprising choice of a favourite footballer revealed in a recent viral video that has ignited a wildfire of discussions. Why, you ask? Well, he defied expectations, snubbing the contemporary football titans Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi in favour of english sensation Marcus Rashford. This audacious choice ignited a wildfire of online chatter, giving birth to a plethora of ‘odd one out’ memes, playfully poking fun at Gambhir’s unconventional pick.
In no time, memes flooded the micro-blogging site ‘X,’ capturing Gambhir’s unpredictable selections in downright bizarre scenarios. For instance, when asked about the best fielder india has produced between suresh raina and ravindra Jadeja, Gambhir’s response in the meme world was, “Goli from Jetha ke Jabaaz.” In another fictional interview scenario featuring prithviraj Chauhan or Shivraj Mama, Gambhir’s quirky reply was, “Mama Earth.”
Meanwhile, for the cricketer known for his no-nonsense, aggressive responses, this unexpected sporting twist occurred shortly after a heated episode during a Legends League cricket match. Gambhir found himself in a verbal spat with former teammate S sreesanth, and things took a sour turn when sreesanth accused Gambhir of branding him a “fixer,” harking back to the 2013 IPL spot-fixing scandal.
