'Things heated up a bit': Kamran Akmal on his on-field clash with Gautam Gambhir in 2010 Asia Cup
Kamran Akmal opened up on his relationship with Gautam Gambhir.
Veteran Pakistan wicket-keeper batter Kamran Akmal recently opened up on his on-field clash with former India opener Gautam Gambhir during the game between India and Pakistan in the Asia Cup 2010. The two cricketers were involved a heated exchange during the match and Akmal revealed it was due to a 'misunderstanding'.
Akmal, who is currently in action in the ongoing Legends League Cricket (LLC), claimed he shares a great rapport with Gambhir and that their relationship has not strained off the field due to their on-field clash. Akmal opened up on his battle with Gambhir in a video shared by Legends League Cricket on their social media handles.
Akmal said he has played a lot with Gambhir during his playing days and that there is no rivalry between the two. The veteran Pakistani keeper-batter also clarified that there is no rivalry between him and India pacer Ishant Sharma either.
"Things heated up a bit with Gautam Gambhir during the 2010 Asia Cup but it was all due to misunderstandings. He is a very good friend. We have played a lot of 'A' cricket together. There is no such rivalry with Ishant Sharma too," said Akmal.
