5 instances Gautam Gambhir got involved in an on-field altercation

#2 With Andre Nel

The Proteas were visiting India and this happened during the second One Day International (ODI) at Bangalore in 2005. South Africa were defending a low total of 169 and clearly, the mighty pacers were in pressure because Chinnaswamy is known to be a batsman’s paradise.

Gautam Gambhir was batting when a lofted shot by him turned into a fortuitous boundary. Naturally, that angered the bowler Andre Nel and a spat began to ensue. Gauti, as he is fondly called, stood up to the tall Nel and engaged in a heated exchange of words, amidst smashing the pacer through all corners of the ground.

In the end, the umpires intervened and restored calm to the proceedings. India won the match by six wickets.
