5 cricketers who make more headlines on social media than on the field

5. Gautam Gambhir

The southpaw from India lost his place in the national side after a string of poor performances. Before that, he was one of the most prolific performers for India. However, it was his flaring tempers which really were never in control.

Gambhir however recently has made headlines due to his posts in the Twitter. Gambhir fueled the debate of the best finisher in the world in his own style by tweeting:

My take on a finisher is there is no such word as a finisher any1 can be a finisher who stays till the end it could b from no1 to no11.

The intention can’t be missed and he really made that pretty clear.

Gambhir has also taken on the media in one of his twitter posts when he was accused of not shaking a hand with MS Dhoni in a Ranji ODI game:
