IND vs PAK: Things even came to blows, the ground had become an arena, five most controversial matches between India and Pakistan

Cricket News Desk. Although Gautam Gambhir's cricket career has been amazing, I don't know why his cricket has not received the appreciation it deserves. When he stopped playing cricket, controversies, fights and anger became his biggest identity. This did not save him from Asia Cup, nor World Cup… and similarly, neither IPL. If one has to choose the worst match in Asia Cup, most experts will choose one of them. If there is a clash with a Pakistani cricketer, then one can easily imagine what kind of atmosphere would have been created.

This clash happened between Gautam Gambhir and Kamran Akmal during the Asia Cup. Well, no matter which tournament it is, if the match is between arch-rivals India and Pakistan, then there is always something spicy. They clashed in the Asia Cup. Let's go straight to the India-Pakistan match in the 2010 Asia Cup which was played on 19 June.

Kamran Akmal is an experienced keeper-batsman of Pakistan and Gautam Gambhir is an opener and one of the top batsmen of Team India. Batting first, Pakistan scored 267 runs in 49.3 overs (Salman Butt 74, Kamran Akmal 51, Shoaib Malik 39, Praveen Kumar 3-53). Chasing the target of 268 runs, Virender Sehwag (10) and Virat Kohli (18) could not do much but Gautam Gambhir (83) and MS Dhoni (51) made the match exciting by sharing 98 runs for the third wicket. . .

Meanwhile, Pakistan wicketkeeper Akmal's caught-behind appeal to dismiss Gambhir was turned down and an angry Akmal started a heated argument. Though Gambhir did not need to react to what was said, why was he going to keep quiet? When they came face to face again during the drinks break, Gambhir got into a heated argument with Akmal. The matter escalated so much that Dhoni had to intervene. He pushed Gambhir away so that the matter does not escalate and the tension could be reduced by not having to face each other.

A few years later, when Gambhir was asked about the collision in a talk show, he said- 'I missed the ball completely. Still Akmal appealed as if he was sure that the ball had hit the bat. To this Gambhir said without any reason that there is no point in appealing because the ball did not hit the bat. From here began a fierce dispute which went from bad to worse and turned into a verbal spat.

This fight between these two great cricketers is remembered as the most fierce fight between the players of both the teams in the Asia Cup. Actually, before this Gambhir had hit a four on Afridi's ball. Akmal could not digest this shot and he made some comment on Gambhir. Angered by this, Gambhir deliberately clashed first with Afridi and then with Akmal as soon as he got the chance.

On the other hand, Akmal tried to put an end to the matter – which led to misunderstanding and anger – by talking about it on the chat show 'Cow Corner Chronicles'. Now Gautam and Akmal are good friends – having played together almost since their 'A' cricket days. Akmal said – 'We meet each other regularly, have meals together.' I wish all the mutual fights end like this.
