The star Indian left-handed batsman Gautam Gambhir has been asked a tricky question in Twitter. The fan has asked why Gambhir is so much Anti-Pakistan. Gautam Gambhir has handled the situation quite maturely. Gambhir has replied that he believes that no Indian is anti-Pakistan. However, when the Indians need to choose between the lives of the soldiers in the border and any other thing, the choice becomes very much clear and obvious. The fan who has asked the question to Gambhir praises the maturity level shown by the cricketer. In the reply, the fan has appreciated Gautam Gambhir a lot.
Gambhir has joined BJP after retiring from cricket in 2018. He has given his opinions on several issues after that. Some of his stances have not impressed his fans a lot. However, Gautam Gambhir has always been very much aggressive and straight forward with his opinions like his cricketing career. The star Indian batsman has been vocal about the tension in the border between India and Pakistan several times. He has also told that there is no meaning of conducting a series between India and Pakistan because at the end of the day nothing is more important than the lives of the soldiers.
I’m not! I don’t think any Indian is. But when we have to choose between the lives of our soldiers & anything else, we r all on the same side! ?? https://t.co/OuGgdL9lPa

The Battle With Shahid Afridi
The on-field battle between Gautam Gambhir and Shahid Afridi has been known to all. Gambhir and Shahid Afridi’s talk battle has continued even after their retirement. That might be another reason why the fan has asked the question to Gautam Gambhir.
Gautam Gambhir’s contribution to Indian cricket has always been immense. He has played two superb knocks in two finals which India have won. Mahendra Singh Dhoni is considered as the most successful Indian captain over the years. However, the contribution of Gautam Gambhir behind those wins should be remembered as well. He has scored 75 runs against Pakistan in the ICC T20 World Cup in 2007. India has won their maiden T20 World Cup with the help of this knock.
Gautam Gambhir has played another important inning at Wankhede in the final of 2011 ODI World Cup. After losing the wickets of Sachin Tendulkar and Virender Sehwag, India has been under immense pressure. Gautam Gambhir has steadied the boat with match-winning innings of 97.
The Story Of Gautam Gambhi And His IPL Journey
The opening batsman has also been quite successful as a captain in Indian Premier League. He has started his IPL career at Delhi Daredevils. However, the star Indian left-hander has been picked up by the management of Kolkata Knight Riders in the auction of 2011. Under the leadership of Gambhir, Kolkata Knight Riders have won two trophies in 2012 and 2014. The fans of Kolkata Knight Riders still miss the service of Gautam Gambhir.
Gambhir has always been quite vocal throughout his career. He has been axed from Indian Cricket Team after few poor performances. However, a player of his calibre should have played one or two years more in the International circuit. Gambhir has now concentrated completely in his political career and it has been quite colourful so far.
